Pyramid Scales are small drone-like vessels deployed by the Pyramids of the Black Fleet.[1] They were first observed on Io terraforming the environment by injecting Darkness into regions of Echo Mesa to undo the Traveler's work, as well as on various other worlds visited by the Pyramids and in the Black Garden.

Overview

Pyramid Scales are much smaller than Pyramids, being about the size of a Jumpship. Unlike their larger counterparts, which are simple tetrahedrons, Pyramid Scales are hexahedrons with a projecting tetrahedral extension hovering below their underside. As their name suggests, they are "shed" from the outer hull of Pyramids like scales, detaching from their surface as they deploy.[2]

The first Pyramid Scale was seen in the Garden of Salvation Raid, right after killing the Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent, as the Pyramid architecture it protects seemingly flies up and reveals a Scale.[3]

Pyramid Scales were first sighted over the Echo Mesa on Io, empowering the enemies of humanity that flock towards them and reap their paracausal power. Pyramid Scales also begin the Contact Activity, in which Guardians must fight to contain their Darkness in Gambit fashion; by killing the enemies that drop Dark Motes, containing them in the nearby Bank and ridding any Taken Blockers sent by Quria, Blade Transform.[4].

Weeks following the arrival of the Io Pyramid, it began deploying Pyramid Scales out in force to patrol and survey its surface actively, likely for terraforming purposes. Other Pyramid Scales were reported on other planets including Mercury, Mars, and Titan; the latter of which Guardians fought to contain their Darkness much like at Io.[citation needed]

Years later, Pyramid Scales would be used during the Defense of the Last City, Felwinter Peak and Mothyards in the Cosmodrome to deploy Tormentors to destroy deployed ADUs.[5] They would also be used to deploy Subjugators during the Revenant Uprising working alongside the Revenant Scorn and Shadow Legion to capture Eliksni for conversion.[6]
