The '''Vex''' are a cyber-organic species as ancient as the Universe itself. While individual Vex units are robotic in appearance, they are merely walking tools for [[radiolaria]], microscopic organisms suspended in Vex milk that contains the species' collective intelligence. The Vex are capable of great feats of engineering such as reconstructing entire planets like [[Mercury]] and [[Nessus]] into their [[Machine World]]s, portal-based space travel, data processing and timeline manipulation on a scale impossible for humanity, but lack language, thought and sentience in the human sense of those words. They cannot be conciliated or reasoned with, and are hostile to every other lifeform but their own. | The '''Vex''' are a cyber-organic species as ancient as the Universe itself.

*According to a [https://web.archive.org/web/20170219124748/https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/destiny-rise-of-iron-how-seventies-scifi-inspired-bungie-online-shooter-20160614 post] on RollingStone, the story of the Vex was inspired by a little known movie called [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095525/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Gandahar] which was about metal men who come from the future and begin turning everything in a paradise world to stone. | |||
*Coincidentally, the Vex share their name with the [https://www.vexrobotics.com/ VEX Robotics Design System], an educational robotics system intended for users of all ages. | |||
*Throughout the series of ''Destiny'', units of the Vex are named after figures of ancient Greek mythology. Named Axis Minds tend to have names in Greek as well. | |||
**For example the Vex Minds, Hagios and Agioktis both mean Saint in Greek. ''Άγιος'' meaning Saint. This symbolises the great respect the Vex have for [[Saint-14]]. | |||
**[[Wyvern]]s are an exception to this naming convention, being named for a legendary creature in medieval European folklore instead. | |||
*The Vex are the only enemies not to have a known presence on [[Earth]], excluding those which have been [[Taken]]. | |||
*According to [[Failsafe]] in the [[Adventure]] [[Lost Crew]], the Vex know [[Guardians]] as 'Those who wield [[Light|that]] which we cannot simulate.'<ref>https://www.destinypedia.com/Lost_Crew#Transcript</ref> | |||
*Vex is a verb which means to irritate or cause stress; a definition that fits with the names of Slap Rifles and Slap Grenades. | |||
*Based on the appearance of modern Vex, the Precursors and the Descendants, the frames of Vex constructs are getting "rounder" over time. | |||
*The Vex seem to be the only enemies to be completely genderless, as they are fully mechanical. | |||
*Many Destiny fans theorized that [[SIVA]] was invented by Clovis Bray by reverse engineering Vex technology. | |||
