Machine World: Difference between revisions

'''Machine Worlds''' are planets that have been fully converted into massive, functional machines within the [[Vex]] [[Nexus]].<ref name="Activision">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>

To create their Machine worlds, the Vex begin by digging deep into the planet's core where a [[Nexus|world-eating machine]] converts the planet into another link in their intergalactic chain. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes#The_Nexus|The Nexus]]''</ref> A [[Pyramidion]] is then constructed close to the surface to continue the process. This process typically only takes a matter of days as Mercury was transformed unnervingly fast during the [[Collapse]] but for reasons unknown, the transformation of Venus was slowed until hundreds of years later. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Eye of a Gate Lord]]''</ref> Some believe that the Vex have structures in every celestial object.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#The_Vex|The Vex]]''</ref> In the process, most of the planet's matter, down to it's molecular structure, is converted into Vex material.

Mercury and [[Nessus]] are the only known Machine Worlds in the Sol System. [[Io]]'s conversion is believed to have been stopped, or at least delayed due the efforts of [[The Guardian]] and quite possibly the [[Pyramid (Io)|Pyramid]] as well, and the same could be said for [[Mars]] with the arrival of the [[Red Legion]] decimating the [[Virgo Prohibition]]. [[Venus]]'s conversion status is unknown, though it may be at risk due to the Red Legion's arrival on that world.
