'''Pyramid Scales''' are small vessels deployed by the [[Pyramid]]s of the [[Black Fleet]]. 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]].

Pyramid Scales seem to be essentially miniature [[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. They were first sighted over the [[Echo Mesa]] on Io, empowering the enemies of humanity that flock towards them and reap of 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 (Gambit)|Bank]] and ridding any [[Taken]] Blockers sent by [[Quria, Blade Transform]].

Weeks following the arrival of the [[Pyramid (Io)|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 (moon)|Titan]]; the latter of which Guardians fought to contain their Darkness much like at Io.

Years later, Pyramid Scales would be used during the [[War against the Witness#Defense of the Last City|Defense]] of the [[Midtown|Last City]], [[Vostok|Felwinter Peak]] and [[Mothyards]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] to deploy [[Tormentor]]s to destroy deployed [[ADU]]s.

*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.
