Servitor: Difference between revisions

Servitors are made in the [[Traveler]]'s image, alluding to its pivotal role in [[Eliksni]] civilization prior to the [[Whirlwind]].<ref>'''Gameinformer (2018/7/5)''', [https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/05/these-are-the-eight-barons-who-helped-kill-cayde-6-in-destiny-2-forsaken The Barons who killed Cayde-6]</ref> Most have a central purple glowing eye, and rarely possess any other distinguishing features or insignia that link them to their House. They are capable of flight, and hover as their main method of travel.

The desperation of modern Fallen Houses can be seen in the state they keep their Servitors, as the [[House of Dusk]] and [[House of Salvation]] have reduced the amount of plating dedicated to their protection, leaving more of the Servitor's circuitry exposed, however, in the case of [[House of Salvation]], this is intentional, degrading their appearance as a manifestation of their House's hatred for the Great Machine.

While they support Fallen in battle, shielding allies, facilitating communications and transmitting tactical data between one another, the Servitors' main function is to process matter and energy into [[Ether]] for the Fallen's sustenance. Besides that, they also offer technological acuity as navigation aids [[Ketch]]es, and possibly [[Skiff]]s.<ref name= "Servitor">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Servitor|Servitor]]''</ref> Some specialized Servitors also serve as personal support and as pilots for High-ranking Fallen.<ref name="Kaliks">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#WANTED:_Kaliks-12|WANTED: Kaliks-12]]''</ref><ref name="Orbiks">'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#WANTED:_Mecher_Orbiks-11|WANTED: Mecher Orbiks-11]]''</ref><ref name="Drevis">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#WANTED:_Drevis.2C_Wolf_Baroness|WANTED: Drevis, Wolf Baroness]]''</ref>

Servitors possess extremely sophisticated and valuable technology, such as Servitor plugs, filters and Ether circulators, to the extent that their artificial intelligence gives them a limited degree of sentience. Despite this, they are vulnerable to being overloaded and shorting out. Not only do they generate [[Ether]], they also can extract or store it, until they are drained of it. The communication network a Servitor is connected to can be accessed by a [[Ghost]], through which those connected to the network becoming locatable.

There are more powerful Servitors known as [[High Servitor]]s, capable of jamming signals. Above High Servitors are [[Prime Servitor]]s, the largest known form of Servitor. Prime Servitors are potentially integral to [[Fallen]] space travel, offer logistical support, and the Fallen worship and revere them as if they were gods, presumably given their symbolic relevance to Great Machine, as well as the fact that they produce major tons of Ether and are an integral part of the leadership of most Houses, alongside an [[Archon]] and a [[Kell]]. For these reasons, almost every Fallen House has their own Prime Servitor; if it is destroyed, the House becomes extremely vulnerable. Certain Servitors function as pilots, and are called [[Pilot Servitor]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Pilot_Servitor|Pilot Servitor]]''</ref>
