Sol Progeny

Overview

Objectives:

Protect the Black Heart

Axis Minds:

Primeval Mind
Imminent Mind
Eschaton Mind

Encountered:

The Black Garden

 

"I believe the three Axis Minds found in proximity to the abomination were Vex machines built to serve as vessels for this power: a way to extend its reach across space and time, binding it to the Vex, and the Vex to it. If they had succeeded, I cannot begin to guess what horrors they would have unleashed."
— Ikora Rey

The Sol Progeny are a triad of Vex Axis Minds located in the Black Garden, which serve as the vessels for the Black Heart; each reflecting a different era of the Sol Collectives.

Concept Art of Sol Progeny worshiping the Black Heart.

The Progeny are individually named Primeval Mind, Imminent Mind, and Eschaton Mind, and they each bear a different head shape. They each appear as a lifeless statue until the Black Heart summons them to protect itself.[1] Unlike Zydron, these units are built specifically as vessels for the Black Heart, as tendrils of darkness can clearly be seen emanating from their bodies.[2] The Sol Progeny were already stirring before Guardians invaded the garden,[3] as The Speaker believes they were intended to be used to summon the reality-altering powers of the Vault of Glass into the rest of the system.[4]
