==History==

The Awoken of the Reef have long preferred to remain distant and aloof from the affairs of the [[City]], but are known to be associated with the [[Nine]], who are said to control the planets beyond the asteroid belt.<ref name="The Queen">'''Bungie (2015/1/23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#The Queen|The Queen]]''</ref> The current Queen allied with the Nine in a successful [[Reef Wars|war]] against the [[Fallen]] House of Wolves.<ref name="GFTQ">'''Bungie (2015/1/23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: The Queen|Ghost Fragment: The Queen]]''</ref> With half their House destroyed, their [[Kaliks Prime|Prime Servitor]] missing, and their [[Skolas, Wolf Kell|Kell]] and [[Aksor, Archon Priest|Archon]] sealed within the [[Prison of Elders]], the House of Wolves became vassals of the Queen and lived alongside the Awoken until their rebellion.<ref name="The Queen"/><ref name="GFTQ"/> In the aftermath of the uprising, and various thefts by Fallen, the Queen opened the Reef up to the [[Guardian]]s to fight alongside the Awoken.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPg3jWn6Nn0 '''YouTube''' - ''Official Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves Prologue'']</ref>

Though the Dreadnaught was restricted to Saturn, and most of its accompanying fleet annihilated by its own superweapon, hundreds of [[Seeder Ship|Seeder]]s nonetheless landed across the Reef, flooding it with Hive and causing widespread damage.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Regent|Regent]]''</ref>

The arrival of the [[Red Legion]] caused even more devastation in the Reef, facilitated by the supposedly-traitorous [[Broken Legion]] (in actuality a Trojan horse) from the Prison of Elders. Raids led by the [[House of Kings]] led to further destabilization, forcing Petra to pull back and consolidating the Reef's territory in order to protect civilian life.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Forsaken_Prince#Fanatic_.7C_Part_I|Fanatic | Part I]]''</ref>

A year after the [[Red War]], Petra Venj and Cayde-6 were able to bring Uldren and Fikrul into the Prison. Taking advantage of this, the imprisoned Uldren orchestrated the warden [[Variks]] into unleashing a massive breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]], releasing the Scorned Barons from their cages and murdering Cayde-6 in the process. The Scorn forces fled into the [[Tangled Shore]] under Uldren and their eight commanding [[Baron]]s. The situation became so dire that the [[Guardian]] were called upon to contain the chaos.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u4oyarcc4I</ref>

*On Earth, shipwrecks often form [[wikipedia:artificial_reef|artificial reefs]], which then become home to a wide variety of life. A number of videos and pieces of concept art indicate that the same process is occurring within the debris field of the Reef<ref name="Destiny PlayStation 4 Official Announcement"/><ref name= "Pathways out of Darkness"/>.

*Despite being a matriarchal society, Awoken males are capable of reaching positions of power and respect, such as the Paladins and the Cryptarchy; [[Hallam Fen]] and [[Master Ives]] being examples.

*The two [[Destination|destinations]] in The Reef contain all enemy races as a whole, meaning that it has more races than any other planet or moon in the series, with multiple enemy factions across each.
