Machine World

From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki

Nessus, an example of a Vex Machine world.

Machine Worlds are celestial bodies that have been completely converted into massive information processing nodes within the Vex Network.[1]

Overview

To create a Machine World, the Vex delve deep into a celestial body's core, where a Nexus begins to convert the planet. [2] A Pyramidion is then constructed closer to the surface to continue the process. Eventually, the majority of the celestial body's matter is reconstituted on a molecular level into Vex architecture, machinery, and Radiolaria.

Mercury and is the only known Machine World to have been fully converted in the Sol System, having only taken the Vex mere days to convert it[3] and serves as a massive prediction engine that generates trillions of simulated realities. Nessus is stated to be close to a full conversion, being at %92.04 to its conversion[4] and serving as an archive for defunct digital data the Vex no longer have any use for.[5] Venus, Io, Mars, and Europa have also all undergone varying levels of conversion; Io's conversion is believed to have been stopped, or at least delayed due the efforts of The Guardian and quite possibly the Ionian Pyramid as well, and the same could be said for Mars with the arrival of the Red Legion decimating the Virgo Prohibition. Venus's conversion status is currently unknown.
