{{Quote|Ooh, kind of a catchy jingle. ♪'''New Pacific Arcology. The next frontier is you!'''♪|[[Ghost]]}}

The '''New Pacific Arcology''' is a [[Destination]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. It was once one of the great cities of the [[Golden Age]], but was evacuated and abandoned during the [[Collapse]]. Over the centuries, the decaying ruins have begun sinking into the moon's methane oceans and have recently become infested with [[Hive]].

==History==
===Pre-Golden Age===
The concept of an Arcology was first thought up by visionary architect [[Wikipedia: Paolo Soleri]]. The concept of an Arcology (a portmanteau of architecture and ecology) is to maintain a balance between the ideals of architectural design and ecological conservation. By minimizing human settlement into a large megastructure, not only is the environment itself preserved, but the human appreciation of the environment is preserved. In the turn of the 21st century, dozens of arcologies were planned, but plans were stopped by an international recession.

===The Golden Age===
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]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Flavor text, [[Ghost Scans]]: TM-ARB-3''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Flavor text, [[Ghost Scans]]: TM-RIG-1''</ref><ref name="Utopia">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[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 name="Last Days on Kraken Mare">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]]''</ref>

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. [[Centrifuse|This appears to have been at least partially successful]]. Additionally, though there was a belief that governments should never use force against human beings, at least some security officers were still armed with lethal firearms.<ref name="NoSurvivors">'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[No Survivors#Lore|No Survivors]]''</ref><ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare"/>

During the Collapse, the [[Black Fleet]] attacked Titan by creating a moon-wide tidal wave and seismic event which badly damaged the arcologies, the New Pacific Arcology included.<ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare"/> An evacuation was in progress when the Collapse began and it is currently unknown how many, if any, made it out alive. However, at least some evacuees were incinerated by [[Warsat]]s.<ref name="NoSurvivors"/><ref name="NPEpitaph">'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[New Pacific Epitaph#Lore|New Pacific Epitaph]]''</ref> This appears to have been part of a cover-up orchestrated by [[Rasputin]] to prevent data gathered by Dr. Pell on the Black Fleet from leaking to the public, in order to quell panic.<ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare"/>

===The Red War===
After the fall of the [[Last City]], Commander [[Zavala]] and Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] fled to the New Pacific Arcology with other surviving [[Guardian]]s, hoping to use it as a base from which to launch a counterattack against the [[Red Legion]]. However, they were stymied by the [[Hive]] infestation. Without access to the [[Light]], Zavala's group lacked the power to exterminate the Hive themselves. Adding to the grim situation, scavengers from the [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]] followed the Guardians to Titan and have established a beachhead, using the towers as junkyards.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Titan Treasure Map]]''</ref> However, this changed following [[The Guardian]]'s arrival. After fighting through hive and fallen to secure a control center, reactivating the power generators and obtaining a CPU from the arcology's depths, they were finally able to begin planning their counterattack. Much of the Vanguard left the arcology and sought a new base at [[The Farm]], with only Sloane remaining behind.

===The Arrival===
Much later, when the [[Black Fleet]] arrived in the system, a Pyramid arrived on the arcology's surface. This prompted [[Eris Morn]] and [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to attempt to [[Contact|harvest the darkness ]] from [[Pyramid Scale|smaller pyramids]] which had been seen touching down on the arcology. However, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] dispatched platoons of [[Taken]] to the arcology to interrupt this ritual, resulting in a vicious battle between the guardians and the Taken and Hive. Eventually, the entire moon of Titan vanished leaving the fate of those aboard the arcology uncertain.

==Trivia==
*Some of the structures in the Sinking Docks have names, such as "Kemphaan" and "Poelruiter". These are Dutch birds that usually live in wet areas, suggesting that some of the first people on Titan were Dutch. This could also be a reference to the fact that the Dutch are famous for dealing with water, or in this case, the oceans of Titan.
*A massive [[Ahsa|Sea Monster]] can occasionally be seen breaching the ocean's surface.
*The hole in [[Saturn]]'s rings made by the [[Dreadnaught]]'s main weapon is visible in Titan's sky from the New Pacific Arcology.
