The Sol Imminent (also known as the Descendants), are a Vex collective spanning from the far future of the Vex network, having first been encountered within the Vault of Glass.

They can be identified by their black and brown-colored frames and ring-shaped heads.

History

The exact origins of the Sol Imminent is unknown. However it is often believed that they come from the future. They would eventually come to inhabit the Simulant Future in the Infinite Forest on Mercury, and the Glass Throne in the Vault of Glass on Venus. After the Battle of the Twilight Gap and the death of Solkis, Kell of Devils, Saint-14 entered the Infinite Forest to search for Osiris. He would eventually come into conflict with the Descendants, Saint-14 would go on to destroy thousands of them. However eventually they would create Agioktis, Martyr Mind to drain Saint-14’s Light, they would succeed and bring an end to the great Titan. Members of the division would later be encountered by a six Guardian fireteam led by the Guardian in the Glass Throne. Later this Guardian alongside Osiris would use the Sundial to find a timeline where Saint-14 could be saved. They succeeded and the former Titan Vanguard escaped the forest and returned to the city.

Structure

According to multiple Ghost analysis, these Vex are extremely old, in that they have been active for an incalculable span of time—indicating that they may very well have come from the future.

Following the death of Dominus Ghaul, they began to gather on Mercury alongside the Precursors, in order to unite under Panoptes, Infinite Mind.
