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]], 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.

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>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''Collector's Edition'', ''[[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>   

Surviving years after the [[Collapse]], the orbiting station would remain on standby until [[Fallen]] from the [[House of Salvation]] had breached the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] and subsequently board the platform itself from their [[Ketch]]. 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"/>
