Each nanomachine in SIVA's design is an independent, thinking machine that utilises a distributed quantum network to coordinate movement, akin to a mechanical version of [[Radiolaria]], which is suggested to be what inspired the design.<ref name="Veil Log"/> The technology had the ability to create nearly anything that anyone could ever need. Prototypes contained in the Clovis Bray facilities on Mars were each programmed with only a single function, including Construct creation, viral armor enhancements, and cybernetic diagnostics. Considered an amazing breakthrough in technology, SIVA was envisioned be used to create new structures and colonies on new worlds faster than regular construction methods; an all-purpose nanomachine capable of breaking down matter and reconstituting it, with applications ranging from reconstructive surgery to rapidly building entire cities.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], Playstation 4, [[Legacy's Oath Gloves]]''</ref> It was later rediscovered by the [[Iron Lords]] during the [[Timeline#Early_City_Age|early City Age]], but it turned against them with the aid of the last [[Warmind]], [[Rasputin]], who was awakened from his centuries-long hibernation when the [[Iron Lord]]s tried to steal SIVA in their attempt to utilize it for [[human]]ity's betterment. Unable to destroy the virus, and with most of the Iron Lords being puppeted against each other under SIVA's control, [[Lady Jolder]] sealed both the virus and all of the [[Iron Lord]]s (with the exception of [[Lord Saladin]] and [[Lady Efrideet]]) within its bunker, deep within the bowels of the [[Cosmodrome]].<ref name="DROIT">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFTn6jQk338 '''Destiny''': ''Rise of Iron Trailer'']</ref><ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/RiseOfIron'''Bungie.net''': ''Rise of Iron'']</ref> | ||
It was later rediscovered by the [[Fallen]], who took it to be the perfection of technology and sought to perfect themselves entirely, freeing them from their dependency on [[ether]] and mortal flesh. It not only changed their forms, but it also granted them new abilities. They could resurrect Fallen enemies and even use the tech against their enemies. Alerted by [[Lord Saladin]], [[the Guardian]] soon put a stop to this, destroying the Replication Chamber and later ending [[Aksis, Archon Prime]]. | It was later rediscovered by the [[Fallen]], who took it to be the perfection of technology and sought to perfect themselves entirely, freeing them from their dependency on [[ether]] and mortal flesh and become Machine-Gods.

Clovis Bray began work on SIVA at the height of the [[Golden Age]], alongside a similar project known to the Guardians only as [[Owl Sector#TRANSMISSION incident|Transmission]]. Its development was spearheaded by Willa Bray. While Transmission was intended only to enhance the strength, speed, and intelligence of prospective colonists using nanomachines, Willa envisioned SIVA as an all-purpose nanomachine capable of breaking down matter and reconstituting it, with applications ranging from reconstructive surgery to rapidly building entire cities.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], Playstation 4, [[Legacy's Oath Gloves]]''</ref> The Transmission project was eventually shuttered after it caused unforeseen side-effects in test subjects, and Clovis Bray focused entirely on SIVA, which was later completed and approved for deployment. So confident was Clovis Bray in SIVA's capabilities that they eschewed adding safety measures, such as a kill switch. The first SIVA replication chamber, designated [[Site 6]], was built within the [[Cosmodrome]] in order to outfit the [[colony ship]]s. One such colony ship was the [[Exodus Black]], which carried a cache of SIVA on it's journey to colonize [[Kepler-186]]. What became of the cache is unknown but it may have survived the crash on [[Nessus]] and may be in the ruins of the Exodus Black.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant_SIVA:_Clovis_Bray_1.3|Dormant SIVA: Clovis Bray 1.3]]''</ref><ref>[https://owlsector.bungie.net/ '''Owl Sector''']</ref> | Clovis Bray began work on SIVA at the height of the [[Golden Age]], alongside a similar project known to the Guardians only as [[Owl Sector#TRANSMISSION incident|Transmission]].

Many years later, Rasputin was reactivated when the [[Iron Lords]], hoping to harness SIVA to bring about a new Golden Age, trespassed into Site 6. Rasputin treated the intruders as hostile and activated its defenses. Unable to communicate or reason with Rasputin, the Iron Lords still managed to infiltrate Site 6 and release the nanotech only for Rasputin to turn it against them, infecting several of their numbers against their fellow Iron Lords. In the end, almost all of the Iron Lords and [[Iron Wolves]] sacrificed themselves to stop SIVA and seal it within its complex.
