A Ketch

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, this can refer to Simiks Prime. The prime Servitor of the House of Winter. As well as Kaliks Syn and Orbiks fel, which would refer to the Prime servitors of the House of Wolves. Kaliks Prime, and Orbiks Prime. However the reference for Splicership Menkis-Syn is unknown.
