The '''New Pacific Arcology''' is a | The '''New Pacific Arcology''' is a location on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. It was once one of the great cities of the [[Golden Age]], but was evacuated and abandoned during the [[Collapse]]. Over the centuries, the decaying ruins have begun sinking into the moon's methane oceans and have recently become infested with [[Hive]]. | ||

A great construct of the Golden Age, the arcologies of Titan were hubs dedicated to the scientific study of the moon and the unique lifeforms that lay in its methane seas. The New Pacific Arcology was no different, being built atop an ice sheet over the [[Wikipedia:Kraken_Mare|Kraken Mare]] in Titan's north polar region. New Pacific facilities included agriculture, zero waste recycling, and even an academy of higher education offering degrees relevant to science and engineering on Titan.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Flavor text, [[Ghost Scans]]: TM-ARB-3''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Flavor text, [[Ghost Scans]]: TM-RIG-1''</ref><ref name="Utopia">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Utopia]]''</ref> Its scientific endeavours included one expedition to drill into Titan's hypothesized subsurface water ocean, which was cut short with the coming of the Collapse.<ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]]''</ref> | |||
During the Collapse, the | During the Collapse, the sheer gravitational pull of the passing Darkness stretched Titan into an oval, and with the passing of the entities, was released back into it's original shape, the stress of such an event releasing a massive tidal wave which badly damaged the arcologies, the New Pacific Arcology included.<ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare"/> An evacuation was in progress when the Collapse began and it's currently unknown how many, if any, made it out alive. | ||

After the fall of the [[Last City]], Commander [[Zavala]] and Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] fled to the New Pacific Arcology with other surviving [[Guardian]]s, hoping to use it as a base from which to launch a counterattack against the [[Red Legion]]. However, they were stymied by the [[Hive]] infestation. Without access to the [[Light]], Zavala's group lacked the power to exterminate the Hive themselves. Adding to the grim situation, scavengers from the [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]] followed the Guardians to Titan and have established a beachhead, using the towers as junkyards.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Titan Treasure Map]]''</ref> | After the fall of the [[Last City]], Commander [[Zavala]] and Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] fled to the New Pacific Arcology with other surviving [[Guardian]]s, hoping to use it as a base from which to launch a counterattack against the [[Red Legion]].
