'''Ketches'''  are massive starships used by the [[Fallen]] for interstellar travel and housing. The Fallen arrived on these ships in the wake of the [[Collapse]], disembarking to pillage the remnants of [[human]] civilization.<ref name = "GrimoireFallen">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen|Fallen]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#The Fallen|The Fallen]]''</ref> They are of vital importance in Eliksni culture where they serve not only as modes of transport but as homes, often generations of families will live and die within a single Ketch.

==Overview and layout==
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>

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. Given the current status of the Fallen as a species, they are often dirty and held together with the scraps of metal their crews scavenge.

Despite their condition, they still serve as warships for the Fallen with their power and resilience held in high regard. [[Pilot Servitor]]s hardwired into the ship's mainframe to aid their navigation.
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.  


The affiliation of a Ketch can often be distinguished by the color of the line painted around its main engine. The [[Awoken]] repainted their captured Ketches with purple lines, many of which were present during the [[Battle of Saturn]].<ref name="Coming War"/> On Europa, the [[House of Salvation]] Ketches bear a grey hull with the House insignia emblazoned in blue on the underbelly. During the Season of Plunder, Spider offered the use of one of his ketches to the Guardian with a bombastic, blue, green and pink striped livery.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Salvage and Salvation]]''</ref>

Among the Eliksni is a saying, "Ketch is Kin, Kin are All", emphasizing the fact that a Ketch is a family home that fostered clans.<ref name="Kin"/> Indeed, the word for Ketch is synonymous with family.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - Item Description: [[Farewell#Lore|Farewell]]''</ref> A wrecked [[House of Kings|King]] Ketch once contained a ceremonial washing bowl, a child's musical instrument, and the cracked ceramic effigy of a [[Servitor]].<ref name="Kin"/> Ketches are also given honorary titles by naming them after their [[Prime Servitor]]s, such as [[Wintership Simiks-Fel]] and [[Wolfship Orbiks-Fel]]. To the Eliksni, Ketches and other Fallen spacecraft are far more than just means of traversing the stars, they are a family member that the Eliksni would defend to the bitter end.
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, the [[House of Salvation]] Ketches bear a silver hull with the House insignia emblazoned in blue on the underbelly.


==Ketch Variants==
Among the Eliksni is saying where "Ketch is Kin, Kin are All" and consider a Ketch to be a family home that fostered clans.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4 ''[[Lore]]: [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith#II. RATIONS| Call of the Cryptolith II. RATIONS]]''</ref> A wrecked Kings Ketch once contained a ceremonial washing bowl, a child's musical instrument, and the cracked ceramic effigy of a [[Servitor]]. Ketches are also given honorary title by naming them after their [[Prime Servitor]]s.
