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, with their power and resilience held in high regard. [[Pilot Servitor]]s hardwired into the ship's mainframe aid their navigation. | |||
The affiliation of a Ketch can be distinguished by the color 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 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 white hull with the House insignia emblazoned in blue on the underbelly. | |||
= | 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]] - [[Lore]]: [[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. | ||
