'''Ketches'''  are massive starships used by the [[Fallen]] for interstellar travel. The Fallen arrived on these ships in the wake of the [[Collapse]], disembarking to pillage the remnants of [[human]] civilization.<ref name = "GrimoireFallen">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#The Fallen|The Fallen]]''</ref> 

The [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] also employ Ketches captured from the [[Reef Wars]], as a number of Ketches in Reef livery participate in the battle against [[Oryx]]'s [[Hive]] fleet over [[Saturn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref> 

In Destiny 2, Ketches can be seen again, as the [[House of Dusk]] use them to fight against the [[Red Legion]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/hdWkpbPTpmE?t=40s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 - Official Launch Trailer'']</ref>

==Overview and Layout==
The overall design of the Ketch falls in line with the organic nature of most of the architecture seen within Fallen culture, featuring sweeping lines and bulbous curves. However given the current status of the Fallen as a species, they are often dirty and held together with the scraps of metal their crews come across. Despite their condition, they still serve as warships for the Fallen and their power and resilience is held in high regard. [[Pilot Servitor]]s hardwired into the ship's mainframe aid their navigation. However recent dealings with the House of Salvation have seen the Fallen start to mass produce new weapons which displays a level of industrial capacity that has never been seen during the races time in Sol.  

The affiliation of a Ketch can be distinguished by the colour of the line painted around its main engine. However, Ketches deployed during Public Events typically have a generic blue painted line instead. The [[Awoken]] repainted their captured [[House of Wolves|Wolven]] Ketches with purple lines, twelve to fifteen of which were present during the [[Battle of Saturn]]. On Europa Ketches that belong to the House of Salvation bear a silver hull with the house symbol emblazoned in blue on the underbelly.

==Trivia==
*A "[[wikipedia:Ketch|ketch]]" is a sailing craft with two masts, specifically a "main-mast" and a smaller "mizzen-mast".
*[[Pilot Servitor]]s are usually responsible for piloting Fallen Ketches.
*The [[Vestian Outpost]] social space is made from the hull of a captured Ketch.
*Ketches are potentially named after a Fallen House's [[Prime Servitor]]. An example would be [[Wintership Simiks-Fel|Simiks-Fel]], referring to [[Simiks Prime]]. The reference for [[Splicership Menkis-Syn]] is unconfirmed.
*Ketches that are attached to a major Fallen House have the "-Fel" suffix, while possibly other Ketches belonging to Freelance fallen has the "-Syn" suffix. It's possible these are meant to differentiate whether a ship owes its allegiance to a Kell, or is commanded by a freelance [[Baron]].
*It is likely that the [[Wolfship Orbiks-Fel]] once belonged to [[Virixas, Kell of Wolves]], until it met its demise to the Queen's [[Harbinger]] attack. This victory is celebrated in the item description of Chain of Orbiks-Fel.
*[[The Drifter]] is a abandoned Reef Ketch belonging to the [[House of Winter]]. It is possible that this Ketch was used to free [[Aksor, Archon Priest]].
*The [[House of Dusk]] have been seen to pilot 5 Ketches on various locations.
*A idle Ketch can be spotted near the Tangled Shore, however it is unknown whether it belongs to the [[Spider's Crime Syndicate]].
*In the Beyond Light stasis trailer, a Ketch can be seen belonging to the [[House of Salvation]]. Another Ketch or even the same one can be seen hovering over the icy surface of Europa.
*The [[House of Exile]] along with many other Fallen Houses deploy Ketches to initiate [[Public Event]]s on many worlds around Sol, the objective of these events can range from deploying an Ether Servitor, Glimmer Extractor or even Weapons Caches protected by a Spider Tank.
*In the crucible map [[Memento]], a unknown Ketch can be seen hovering above the [[European Dead Zone]].
