==Overview==
While the majority of the Vex do not align themselves with either the [[Light]] or [[Darkness]], the Sol Divisive have diverged from the rest of the Vex Collective by adopting a seemingly religious reverence for the [[Darkness]] and allying themselves with the [[The Witness|Witness]].
The Sol Divisive are easily identified by their green, moss-covered frames and ring-like attachments on their heads. The moss on their bodies shows that they have been in stasis for an extended period of time, apparently frozen in what appears to be religious rapture.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Sol_Divisive|Sol Divisive]]''</ref> Certain Minds like [[Persys, Primordial Ruin|Persys]], [[Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent|Sanctified Mind]] and two [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent|major]] [[Akelous, the Siren's Current|Harpies]] have layers of rock covering their chassis and large blue and orange tentacles sprouting from their backs.

===Origins===
The origins of the Sol Divisive are unclear. It appears that at some point they diverged from the rest of the Vex Collective, which in general does not align itself with either the [[Light]] or [[Darkness]], and indeed seeks to bring about a universe where neither one exists. A Vex record originating from the Black Garden seems to indicate that at some point the Vex in the Black Garden encountered [[The Witness]], after which the term "[[Black Heart]]" appears. After this event, the Vex seem to adopt an approach more in line with the philosophy of the Witness, suggesting that this record may recount the origin of the Sol Divisive and the [[Black Heart]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/11ozam5/lightfall_spoilers_root_of_nightmares_full_lore/</ref>

According to the [[Cloud Strider]] [[Rohan]], who once infiltrated the Black Garden, the [[Conceptual Mind]] created the [[Black Heart]] in an unsuccessful attempt to replicate the [[The Veil|Veil]]. The Sol Divisive would later be discovered exhibiting seemingly religious behavior toward the Heart, a behavior which [[Ikora Rey]] hypothesized was the only rational response the Vex could take when faced with an entity they could not simulate.

Two years after their Luna invasion, the Sol Divisive would launch an assault on the [[Ares Spire]] on [[Mars]], seeking to take [[Neomuna|information]] from [[Rasputin]] in support of the Witness' objectives, as well as to use the facility to imprison the Subminds. The Guardian battled with them at the behest of the Lightless [[Osiris]], foiling their plans to scavenge information and destroy the facility itself.
