'''Warsats''' (short for '''War Satellites''') were orbital military satellites built during the [[Golden Age]] to defend [[Earth]] and the other colonies throughout the [[Solar System]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-21)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]''</ref>
Derelict Warsats periodically fall from orbit on [[Earth]], the [[Moon]], and [[Mars]]. The location where one impacts becomes the site of a [[Public Event]]. Guardians must defend the Warsat from enemies while it is scanned and [[transmat]]ted by a [[Ghost]] to the [[City]], where it can be carefully studied by the Cryptarchs.<ref name="Destiny"/>
 
==History==
Thousands of Warsats were launched into orbit above the planets of the Solar System.<ref name="Rasputin">'''Bungie (2015-1-21)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Rasputin_2|Rasputin]]''</ref> and together with an array of hardened surface installations, the Warsats formed a vast communications and defense network throughout which the [[Warmind]]s distributed themselves.<ref name="Rasputin"/> During the [[Collapse]], as humanity's defeat became certain, [[Rasputin]] ordered the surviving Warminds to isolate themselves and enter long-term dormancy, leaving the Warsats unmanned and idle for centuries.<ref name="Destiny">'''Bungie (2015-1-21)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard.''</ref><ref name="MidnightExigent">'''Bungie (2015-1-21)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 3|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 3]]''</ref>
 
When the [[Cosmodrome]]'s Terrestrial Array was reactivated by [[The Guardian]], Rasputin exploited this opportunity to spread himself across the inner system, regaining access to the Warsat network and its weapon systems once more.<ref name="Destiny"/><ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-21)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]''</ref>
 
At least some Warsats are armed with powerful X-ray lasers, being able to destroy targets on the planet's surface. During the evacuation of the [[New Pacific Arcology]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], a Warsat controlled by Rasputin destroyed an evacuation shuttle carrying Dr. [[Shanice Pell]] and other evacuees by a single shot from orbit.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#Kalki's Burning Sword, Part I|Last Days on Kraken Mare - Kalki's Burning Sword, Part I]]''</ref> Rasputin would later use these munitions against both the Cabal and Vex on Mars. <ref name="Destiny"/><ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-21)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]''</ref>
 
Derelict Warsats periodically fall from orbit on [[Earth]], the [[Moon]], and [[Mars]]. The location where one impacts becomes the site of a [[Public Event]]. Guardians must [[Warsat Down|defend the Warsat]] from enemies while it is scanned and [[transmat]]ted by a Ghost to the [[City]], where it can be carefully studied by the Cryptarchs.<ref name="Destiny"/>
 
The [[Crucible]] site [[Javelin-4]] is a Warsat launch facility stationed on [[Io]].
 
To prevent their use against The Traveller, Rasputin sacrificed himself to destroy the Warsat network.
 
==Trivia==
*Engineers of the City have been reverse-engineering Warsat technology, such as the self defense mechanisms used in the [[Exotic]] [[Titan (class)|Titan]] gauntlets [[ACD/0 Feedback Fence]].
*A partially disassembled Warsat can be seen being analyzed next to [[Sloane]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]].
