Nessus, an example of a Vex Machine world.

Machine Worlds are planets that have been fully converted into massive, functional machines within the Vex Network.[1]

Overview

To create their Machine worlds, the Vex begin by digging deep into the planet's core where a world-eating machine converts the planet into another link in their intergalactic chain. [2] A Pyramidion is then constructed close to the surface to continue the process. This process typically only takes a matter of days as Mercury was transformed unnervingly fast during the Collapse but for reasons unknown, the transformation of Venus was slowed until hundreds of years later. [3] Some believe that the Vex have structures in every celestial object.[4] In the process, most of the planet's matter, down to its molecular structure, is converted into Vex material and Radiolaria.

Mercury and Nessus are the only known Machine Worlds in the Sol System; the former serving as a massive prediction engine for trillions of simulated realities for the Vex to test and the latter serving as an archive for defunct digital data the Vex no longer have need of.[5] Io's conversion is believed to have been stopped, or at least delayed due the efforts of The Guardian and quite possibly the Ionian Pyramid as well, and the same could be said for Mars with the arrival of the Red Legion decimating the Virgo Prohibition. Venus's conversion status is unknown, though it may be at risk due to the Red Legion's arrival on that world.
