'''Pyramid Scales''' are small [[Pyramid]] drones deployed by the [[Black Fleet]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - Item Description: [[Unified Theory#Lore|Unified Theory]]''</ref> They were first observed on [[Io]] terraforming the environment by injecting [[Darkness]] into regions of [[Echo Mesa]] to undo [[the Traveler]]'s work, as well as on various other worlds visited by the Pyramids and in the [[Black Garden]].
'''Pyramid Scales''' are small vessels deployed by the [[Pyramid]]s of the [[Black Fleet]]. They have been observed on [[Io]], where they terraform the environment by injecting [[Darkness]] into regions of [[Echo Mesa]] to undo the [[Traveler]]'s work, as well as on various other worlds visited by the Pyramids and in the [[Black Garden]].


==Overview==
==Overview==
Pyramid Scales are much smaller than [[Pyramids]], being about the size of a [[Jumpship]]. Unlike their larger counterparts, which are simple tetrahedrons, Pyramid Scales are hexahedrons with a projecting tetrahedral extension hovering below their underside. As their name suggests, they are "shed" from the outer hull of Pyramids like scales, detaching from their surface as they deploy.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - Item Description: [[NPA "Weir-Walker" Suit#NPA "Weir-Walker" Hood, Helm, and Visor|NPA "Weir-Waler" Hood / Helm / Visor]]''</ref>
Pyramid Scales seem to be essentially miniature [[Pyramids]], being about the size of a [[jumpship]]. Unlike their larger counterparts, which are simple tetrahedrons, Pyramid Scales are hexahedrons with a projecting tetrahedral extension hovering below their underside. They were first sighted over the [[Echo Mesa]] on Io, empowering the enemies of humanity that flock towards them and reap of their paracausal power. Pyramid Scales also begin the [[Contact]] Activity, in which Guardians must fight to contain their [[Darkness]] in [[Gambit]] fashion; by killing the enemies that drop Dark Motes, containing them in the nearby [[Bank (Gambit)|Bank]] and ridding any [[Taken]] Blockers sent by [[Quria, Blade Transform]].


The first Pyramid Scale was seen in the [[Garden of Salvation]] [[Raid]], right after killing the [[Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent]], as the Pyramid architecture it protects seemingly flies up and reveals a Scale.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Garden of Salvation]]''</ref>
Weeks following the arrival of the [[Pyramid (Io)|Io Pyramid]], it began deploying Pyramid Scales out in force to actively patrol and survey its surface, likely for terraforming purposes. Other Pyramid Scales were reported on other planets including [[Mercury]], [[Mars]], and [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]; the later which Guardians fought to contain their Darkness much like at Io.

Years later, Pyramid Scales would be used during the [[Onslaught|Defense]] of the [[Midtown|Last City]], [[Vostok|Felwinter Peak]] and [[Mothyards]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] to deploy [[Tormentor]]s to destroy deployed [[Advanced Defense Unit|ADU]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Onslaught]]''</ref> They would also be used to deploy [[Subjugator]]s during the [[Revenant Uprising]] working alongside the [[Revenant Scorn]] and [[Shadow Legion]] to capture [[Eliksni]] for conversion.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[mission]]''</ref>
