Ketches are massive starships used by the Fallen that are capable of inter-system travel. The Fallen arrived on these ships in the wake of the Collapse, disembarking to pillage the remnants of human civilization.[1] The Awoken of the Reef also employ Ketches presumably captured from Fallen foes during the Reef Wars. A number of Ketches in Reef livery participate in the battle against Oryx's Hive fleet over Saturn.[2]

Identified Ketches

Trivia

  • A "ketch" is a sailing craft with two masts, specifically a "main-mast" and a smaller "mizzen-mast".
  • Ketches that are attached to a major Fallen House have the "-Fel" suffix, while the Ketch belonging to Taniks has the "-Syn" suffix. It's possible these are meant to differentiate whether a ship owes its allegiance to a Kell, or is commanded by a freelance Captain.
  • Ketches are potentially named after a Fallen House's Prime Servitor. An example would be Simiks Fel, referring to Simiks Prime. The reference for Splicership Menkis-Syn is unconfirmed.
