A great construct of the Golden Age, the arcologies of Titan were hubs dedicated to the scientific study of the moon and the unique lifeforms that lay in its methane seas. The New Pacific Arcology was no different, being built atop the icy seafloor of the [[Kraken Mare]] in Titan's north polar region. New Pacific facilities included agriculture, zero waste recycling, and even an academy of higher education offering degrees relevant to science and engineering on Titan.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Ghost scan]]: [[Ghost scan#New Pacific Arcology, Titan|TM-ARB-3]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Ghost Scans]]: [[Ghost scan#New Pacific Arcology, Titan|TM-RIG-1]]''</ref><ref name="Utopia">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Utopia]]''</ref> Its scientific endeavors included one expedition to drill into Titan's hypothesized subsurface water ocean, which was cut short with the coming of the Collapse.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Undying]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]], [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare#The Sixth Seal, Part I|The Sixth Seal, Part I]]''</ref> | A great construct of the Golden Age, the arcologies of Titan were hubs dedicated to the scientific study of the moon and the unique lifeforms that lay in its methane seas.

Despite the Arcology's peaceful public image, it is suggested that its government began to develop more violent tendencies. After Drs. Khatun-Rowe and [[Shanice Pell]] made several breakthroughs in power generation technology, they were ordered to develop their research further. While the government had claimed this was purely for the sake of improving the Arcology's pressure suits for exploration, Khatun-Rowe and [[David Miguel Korosec]] understood the order was an attempt to exploit their labor for weapons development. This appears to have been at least partially successful.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - Item Description: [[Centrifuse#Lore|Centrifuse]]''</ref> Additionally, though there was a belief that governments should never use force against human beings,<ref name="Sword One" | Despite the Arcology's peaceful public image, it is suggested that its government began to develop more violent tendencies.
