| | The '''Morning Star''' was a space station constructed by [[Clovis Bray I]] that orbited the icy moon of [[Europa]]. It served as a support station for the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], but also built as a contingency plan to annihilate all the secrets of the facility if any entity breached the Crypt. |
| The '''Morning Star''' was an orbital platform constructed by the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] corporation that orbited the icy moon of [[Europa]]. It served as a support station for the [[Deep Stone Crypt (location)|Deep Stone Crypt]], but also built as a contingency plan to annihilate all the secrets of the facility in the event of a breach in the Crypt's security. | |

|
| ==History==
| | The station was a disguised enormous fusion bomb to obliterate Europa and to further prevent any issues from escalating beyond [[Jupiter]]. |
| The orbital station was first conceived by [[Clovis Bray I]] as a failsafe against any danger posed by [[Clarity Control]], after an attempt to relocate the statue from its source resulted in the deaths of nineteen researchers. In the event of catastrophic containment or a quick redaction of their work, the platform would excurse itself from orbit and collide with the site. Clovis had also designed a fission reactor to provide much needed power for course correcting the station's high polar orbits above Europa, and would hide a nuclear option in the station's design to achieve extremely prompt criticality.<ref>'''[[Mysterious Logbook]]''', ''[[Mysterious Logbook#ENTRY 5|ENTRY 5]]''</ref> | |
|
| |
|
| After its construction and launch, the Morning Star predominantly became a control laboratory for Clovis Bray to test a variety of different experiments, all of which end in gruesome fashion. Some of then which involved Nuclear-powered [[Exo]]s,<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:Bray Lab Records - Confidential]]'' - ''[[Lore:Bray Lab Records - Confidential#TEST NO: 088 - Nuclear Power Exo|TEST NO: 088 - Nuclear Power Exo]]''</ref> Food Supplements,<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:Bray Lab Records - Confidential]]'' - ''[[Lore:Bray Lab Records - Confidential#TEST NO: 109 - Food Supplement|TEST NO: 109 - Food Supplement]]''</ref> and exposing test subjects to Clarity Control itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:Bray Lab Records - Confidential]]'' - ''[[Lore:Bray Lab Records - Confidential#TEST NO: 140 - Clarity Control Exposure|TEST NO: 140 - Clarity Control Exposure]]''</ref> At one point, Clovis's granddaughter [[Elsie Bray]] would make an attempted sabotage of the station and enact its nuclear protocol in an ill-conceived attempt to destroy the Crypt, only to have failed instead. She then left several recordings of hers throughout the station for others to hear the evil of her grandfather's deeds.<ref name="DSC">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]]''</ref>
| | ==Overview== |
| | It featured prominently in the [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]] raid, where the [[Exo Stranger]] sent the [[Guardians]] to alleviate the threat of [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo]] and [[Taniks, Reborn]]. |
|
| |
|
| Surviving years after the [[Collapse]], the orbiting station would remain on standby and in orbit over the moon. The [[Vanguard]] advised all [[Guardians]] from investigating the station due to the infeasibility of boarding with active and unpredictably hostile defenses.<ref>'''[[Mysterious Logbook]]''', ''[[Mysterious Logbook#Vanguard Report|Vanguard Report]]''</ref> During the [[War of Salvation]], [[House Salvation]] [[Fallen]] lead by [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo|Atraks]] breached the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] and subsequently boarded the platform itself from their [[Ketch]], where they obtained [[Exomind]] technology according to Vanguard intelligence.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/twid-05-02-2024 THIS WEEK IN DESTINY – 05/02/2024]</ref>
| | The [[House of Salvation]] breach awoke the Crypt AI and prompted it to activate the station's nuclear descent protocol. This would launch the Morning Star into the atmosphere of Europa and attempt to destroy the moon by setting off the nuclear warheads on board. The nuclear destruction was averted by the Guardians who worked together to deposit the nuclear cores into the station's ports. |
|
| |
| Their presence, coupled with the [[Guardian]]s sent by Elsie to drive them out, was cause for the Crypt AI to confine both parties to the platform as it initiated its nuclear descent protocol; threatening all of Europa with nuclear orbital collision with the Crypt. Both Guardian and Fallen alike fought their way toward the station's nuclear contingency chamber, with [[Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks, Reborn]] having reached the station's controls first followed by the six-manned fireteam. The Guardians, working together to deposit the station's nuclear cores into ports, would disable the nuclear descent protocol moments before orbital reentry. However, since the station already descended into Europa, the Morning Star was destroyed upon collision and the Crypt laid open for enemies and allies alike.<ref name="DSC"/>

|
| Despite its destruction, wreckage from the Morning Star still lingered in Europa's atmosphere. Periodically falling to the surface, the House of Salvation would routinely attempt to salvage the station's Braytech secrets from the debris themselves by fortifying the debris-laden areas through the use of [[Darkness]].<ref name="Hard Rain">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''Quest: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/exo-stranger-a-hard-rain-falls-2 A Hard Rain Falls]''</ref> However their attempts to gather power are subdued by [[Guardian]]s instead.<ref name="Hard Rain pt.2">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', '' Quest Completion: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/exo-stranger-a-hard-rain-falls A Hard Rain Falls]''</ref>
| | However, since the station was already descending into Europa, it was destroyed as a result of the orbital collision. |
| | |
| Debris from the station would also impact the further-out [[Vesper Station]], unleashing a previously contained [[The Corrupted Puppeteer|horror]] aboard it.

This facility is not simply the fruitless work of some pathetic scientist. This house was built by the genius Clovis Bray I himself. Within lies humanity's salvation. La fontaine de jouvence. Made possible by Clarity Control. Magnificent, wasn't it? An entity from beyond our own dimension. And the answer to humanity's eternal struggle: mortality. Were it to fall into the wrong hands, humanity, and the universe, would be utterly doomed. I have no reason to believe you are anything other than "the wrong hands." You now face godlike judgment.
