The Compelled Collective is a recently discovered Vex programming subtype found on Nessus. They are predominantly made of frames of the Sol Collective with silica-colored collars that allow Vex Precursors (referred to as Choral Vex) to seemingly control them.

History

Episode: Echoes Spoilers

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details on Episode: Echoes follow.

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. Further more, 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.^[1]

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.

Structure

While maintaining the same structure as other collectives, they have an unknown leader that looks very humanoid in appearance.
