The Compelled Collective is a recently discovered Vex programming subtype found on Nessus following the death of the Witness.

History

Not much is currently known about these particular Vex. However, what is known is that the Compelled Collective first appeared not long after a mysterious paracausal object broke off from the Traveler after the death of the Witness and crashed on Nessus. Almost immediately after, the Vex on Nessus began to change and exhibit strange behaviors as confirmed by Guardians patrolling Nessus. All members of this collective act very differently from other collectives, ranging from lesser frames speaking to each other, a Hobgoblin waving at a Guardian before it was destroyed, or even fighting against Vex from other collectives.^[1] Furthermore, unlike other Vex Collectives, the Compelled Collective are smart enough to know when to retreat when faced with suppressing fire. A tactic usually seen in Guardians, Fallen, or Cabal, and not normally seen in other Vex.^[2]

Later, Saint-14 went down to Nessus to conduct his own investigation down in the Well of Flame, where the Vex allowed him to pass peacefully. There, he encountered what appeared to be the leader of the Compelled Collective that called itself the Conductor, who told him that he was a facsimile of the real Saint-14 who died long ago, and tried to take control of his mind. Saint almost succumbed to the Conductor's influence, but thankfully, the Guardian and Ikora arrived at his position and managed to snap him out of his trance, though Saint remained shaken by the Conductor's words.^[2]

Structure

While maintaining the same structure as other collectives, they are commanded by a leader known only as the Conductor, later revealed to be Maya Sundaresh. After the Echo of command crashed on Nessus, the Conductor acquired it and could use it to compel the local Vex into doing her bidding.

In addition, the Compelled Collective is separated into two main groups: the Compelled Vex, seemingly made from local Nessian Vex with silica-colored yokes, and the Choral Vex, which are comprised of Precursors and seem to be higher-ranking members within the Collective. A Guardian observed a group of Sol Collective Goblins being led by a Precursor Vex unit as they marched in military formation.^[1] They also guard the tunnel passageways down into Nessus' core. Furthermore, most Vex Minds within the Collective appear to bear Precursor Vex frames. This is likely due to the work of the Conductor, as she is capable of converting old vex unit frames into choral vex.

Both Compelled and Choral units are rarely named after their Sol Collective and Precursor versions, in what is likely a developer's oversight.
