Revision as of 02:00, 5 December 2013
The Fallen, also known as "spider pirates," are one of the enemy factions in the Destiny universe.
Introduction
The Fallen were presented during the E3 Gameplay Reveal, and have been displayed on the official Destiny webpage and Youtube channel in various videos and images.
Speculation
- "...there’s just something wonderful about the idea of a nomadic race of once noble houses now scattered to the solar winds." -- Urk (March of the Mail Sack, Destiny News)
- Many developers have alluded to the Fallen Houses having, well, fallen, however, not much beyond teasers is known on this point (partially confirmed).
- Dregs are the only Fallen unit that has one pair of arms; a pair of canisters exist where Vandals and Captains have additional limbs. These canisters may protect the budding ligaments of a Dreg. This lack of arms may also be an indication that Fallen society is based on physical maturity level brought on by age, rather than blood-line or prior accomplishment. (CONFIRMATION: Dregs are the cannon fodder of Fallen ranks and have had two of their arms chopped off for the purpose of their shame.)
- A quote on the Bungie website states that they have "...claimed every planet and moon Humans ever touched.", which could indicate they will be fairly pervasive throughout the game. The Fallen appear to be organized largely into groups called "Houses", seeming similar to clans or other family groups, which are not always friendly towards each other, and hunt in packs led by a "Fallen Captain".
- They are clearly intelligent and have hi-tech capabilities and advanced weaponry including Devil Walkers and Shanks.
- In a video you can also see the Fallen teaming up with the Vex to attack the Guardians who just happened to cross the path of them both at the same time.
Fallen Notables
Fallen Ranks:
Shank:
These little flying robots are scouts for the Fallen. They are weak both defensively and offensively but are frequently assisted by ranks of the Fallen. They are also released by the Devil Walker.
Dreg:
"These relentless thieves seem driven by desperation and rage. They are crafty, but they usually give up their cover with their clattering and hissing. Most seem outfitted with some kind of shock dagger and pistol, and as far as we can gather, they seem to only have two arms, while other Fallen have four."
Vandal:
"The truths about the Fallen chain-of-command are still making themselves known, but Vandals appear to hold a higher ranking than the Dregs, and deadlier weapons, too. They often have long range capability, but, lucky for us, their weapons take time to charge."
Captain:
A confirmed Captain rank Fallen is Rixis.
A Fallen Captain is seen with some type of energy shield around them in the Official Destiny E3 Gameplay Trailer.
"Fallen run in packs, led by an individual Captain. There is no denying a Captain's might; they are the fiercest of the Fallen. There is this sense of tattered nobility to them. You can see it in the way they carry themselves. They think they're better than us. They believe that Earth belongs to them."
