[[SIVA]] was once a [[Golden Age]] breakthrough in self-assembling, self-replicating nanotechnology, created by [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] to accelerate humanity's colonization effort. The technology had the ability to create nearly anything that anyone could ever need.It would be used to create new structures and colonies on new worlds faster than regular construction methods. It was considered as an amazing breakthrough in technology. It was later rediscovered by the [[Iron Lords]] during the [[Timeline#Early_City_Age|early City Age]], but it turned against them with the aid of the last [[Warmind]], [[Rasputin]], who was awakened from his centuries-old hibernation when the [[Iron Lord]]s tried to steal SIVA in their attempt to utilize it for [[human]]ity's betterment. Unable to destroy the virus, and with most of the Iron Lords being puppeted against each other under SIVA's control, [[Lady Jolder]] sealed both the virus and all of the [[Iron Lord]]s (with the exception of [[Lord Saladin]] and [[Lady Efrideet]]) within its bunker, deep within the bowels of the [[Cosmodrome]].<ref name="DROIT">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFTn6jQk338 '''Destiny''': ''Rise of Iron Trailer'']</ref><ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/RiseOfIron'''Bungie.net''': ''Rise of Iron'']</ref> | |||
It was later rediscovered by the [[Fallen]], who took it to be the perfection of technology and sought to perfect themselves entirely, freeing them from their dependency on [[ether]] and mortal flesh. Alerted by [[Lord Saladin]], [[the Guardian]] soon put a stop to this, destroying the Replication Chamber and later ending [[Aksis, Archon Prime]]. | |||

While Transmission was intended to enhance the strength, speed, and intelligence of prospective colonists using nanomachines, SIVA used nanomachines to break down matter and reconstitute it in order to rapidly construct entire cities. The Transmission project was eventually shuttered after it caused unforeseen side-effects in test subjects, and Clovis Bray focused entirely on SIVA, which was later completed and approved for deployment. So confident was Clovis Bray in SIVA's capabilities that they eschewed adding safety measures, such as a kill switch. The first SIVA replication chamber, designated [[Site 6]], was built within the [[Cosmodrome]] in order to outfit the [[colony ship]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant_SIVA:_Clovis_Bray_1.3|Dormant SIVA: Clovis Bray 1.3]]''</ref><ref>[https://owlsector.bungie.net/ '''Owl Sector''']</ref> | ||

Rasputin treated the intruders as hostile and activated its defenses. Unable to communicate or reason with Rasputin, the Iron Lords still managed to infiltrate Site 6 and release the plague only for it to possess some of their number and turn against their fellow Iron Lords. In the end, almost all of the Iron Lords and [[Iron Wolves]] sacrificed themselves to stop SIVA and seal it within its complex. Rasputin ceased its onslaught once it deemed Site 6 was re-secured, and began passive observation of the [[Guardian]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_6|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 6]]''</ref> Lord [[Saladin Forge]], one of the surviving Iron Lords, quarantined the [[Plaguelands]] to prevent SIVA from ever being unleashed again.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> | ||
