The Techeuns of the Reef have their origins in the founding era of Awoken civilization. After the establishment of Awoken society in the [[Distributary]], a council of scientists was tasked with preserving the useful technology that had been brought with them into the pocket universe.

The surviving Techeuns did not cooperate well with the Reef's interim regent, [[Petra Venj]]. However, they acquiesced to partnership in Reef experiments to extract and control Taken energies.

Following his death, [[Savathûn]] assumed control of them, where they now serve under her champion, the Taken Ahamkara Riven, within the Dreaming City.
