The New Pacific Arcology was no different, being built atop the icy seafloor of the [[Kraken Mare]] in Titan's north polar region. New Pacific facilities included agriculture, zero waste recycling, and even an academy of higher education offering degrees relevant to science and engineering on Titan.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Flavor text, [[Ghost Scans]]: TM-ARB-3''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Flavor text, [[Ghost Scans]]: TM-RIG-1''</ref><ref name="Utopia">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Utopia]]''</ref> Its scientific endeavors included one expedition to drill into Titan's hypothesized subsurface water ocean, which was cut short with the coming of the Collapse.<ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]]''</ref> | ||
Despite the Arcology's peaceful public image, it is suggested that its government began to develop more violent tendencies. After Drs. Khatun-Rowe and [[Shanice Pell]] made several breakthroughs in power generation technology, they were ordered to develop their research further. While the government had claimed this was purely for the sake of improving the Arcology's pressure suits for exploration, Khatun-Rowe and [[David Miguel Korosec]] understood the order was an attempt to exploit their labor for weapons development. [[Centrifuse|This appears to have been at least partially successful]]. | Despite the Arcology's peaceful public image, it is suggested that its government began to develop more violent tendencies.

Much later, when the [[Black Fleet]] arrived in the system, a Pyramid arrived on the arcology's surface. This prompted [[Eris Morn]] and [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to attempt to [[Contact|harvest the darkness ]] from [[Pyramid Scale|smaller pyramids]] which had been seen touching down on the arcology. However, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] dispatched platoons of [[Taken]] to the arcology to interrupt this ritual, resulting in a vicious battle between the guardians and the Taken and Hive. Eventually, the entire moon of Titan vanished leaving the fate of those aboard the arcology uncertain. | Much later, when the [[Black Fleet]] arrived in the system, a Pyramid arrived on the arcology's surface.
