'''The Haul''' is a mysterious object that is towed behind the [[Drifter]]'s ship, the [[The Derelict|Derelict]], for much of the time following his return to the [[Sol System]]. It contains a pocket of [[Unknown Space]] as part of the [[The Nine|Nine]] Realms much similar to the [[Third Spire]],<ref name=AaOF">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:A Drifter's Gambit|A Drfiter's Gambit]], [[Lore:A Drifter's Gambit#Artifacts and Old Friends|Artifacts and Old Friends]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Warlock Aunor|The Warlock Aunor]], [[Lore:The Warlock Aunor#Message to Aunor|Message to Aunor]]''</ref> accessible via an opening in the side facing the Derelict. The location within this pocket serves as the playing field for [[The Reckoning]], a challenge co-orchestrated by the [[Orin|Emissary]] and the Nine. It is also the area where the [[Prophecy]] dungeon is found.

==Overview==
The Haul was a massive, roughly spherical object seemingly made of an unknown multicolored rock-like material. Its outer surface appeared to have been ruptured, revealing a hollow interior space with green-streaked walls illuminated by an unknown light source. 

According to an analysis conducted by the [[Praxic Order|Praxic]] [[Warlock]] [[Aunor Mahal]], the Haul was an "engine of pure potential," seemingly capable of manifesting any entity imaginable by its user. The Drifter has taken advantage of this ability by hooking up his [[Bank (Gambit)|banks]] to the Haul, allowing him to create "counterfeit" [[Taken]] [[Primeval]]s for his games of [[Gambit Prime]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Stolen Intelligence|Stolen Intelligence]], [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Potential|Potential]]''</ref>

While investigating the Drifter when he initially started Gambit on behalf of the [[Vanguard]], [[Shin Malphur]] claimed that the Haul was a pocket of the [[Ascendant Realm|Ascendant Plane]] the Drifter had captured using a combination on many things, including Vex and Fallen tech, Hive magic and Golden Age science.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:A Drifter's Gambit|A Drifter's Gambit]], [[Lore:A Drifter's Gambit#Bright Side of a Bad Idea|Bright Side of a Bad Idea]]''</ref>

==History==
The Haul was gifted to the Drifter by the Nine, appearing seemingly out of nowhere after the Drifter was visited by the [[Emissary of the Nine|Emissary]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Invitations of the Nine#The World|Invitations of the Nine: The World]]''</ref> However, the Drifter himself has claimed that he found the Haul in a place "cold enough to snuff out your Light,"<ref name=AaOF"/> seemingly alluding to his misadventures on an icy world where he encountered Light-suppressing creatures.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Ancient Apocalypse Suit#Warlock|Ancient Apocalypse Suit (Warlock)]]''</ref> It is unknown if the Drifter is simply lying about his acquisition of the Haul, or if he encountered it prior to returning from his travels outside the Sol System.

===The Invitation to Kepler===
During the Guardian's explorations on [[Kepler]], the Drifter contacted them to discuss unusual behavior recently exhibited by the Haul; during the call, he admitted to the Guardian that he never actually knew what the Haul was, or what it was really for.{{Citation needed}}

II then asked the Drifter to prepare the Haul, Later, used to temporarily resurrect III by dropping it into the singularity located at the heart of the singularity where III's corpse was found. It spoke through [[Lodi]] and showed the Guardian, Lodi, and [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] how it died before warning them that its death will cause a mass extinction level event.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Edge of Fate]] - [[The Message]]''</ref> The Guardian then helped the Drifter protect the Haul as it was being charged up with dark matter from the singularity on Kepler.

==Trivia==
*In some images of the Haul, a mass of swirling amorphous material sprouting tendrils resembling [[Egregore]] can be seen on the side facing the Derelict. However, during gameplay sequences where the Guardian enters the Haul from the Derelict, the amorphous material appears to be basic wiring connecting the Haul to the Derleict.
