[[Clovis Bray]] began work on SIVA at the height of the [[Golden Age]], alongside a similar project known to the Guardians only as [[Owl Sector#TRANSMISSION incident|Transmission]]. While Transmission was intended to enhance the strength, speed, and intelligence of prospective colonists using nanomachines, SIVA used nanomachines to break down matter and reconstitute it in order to rapidly construct entire cities. The Transmission project was eventually shuttered after it caused unforeseen side-effects in test subjects, and Clovis Bray focused entirely on SIVA, which was later completed and approved for deployment. So confident was Clovis Bray in SIVA's capabilities that they eschewed adding safety measures, such as a kill switch. The first SIVA replication chamber, designated [[Site 6]], was built within the [[Cosmodrome]] in order to outfit the [[colony ship]]s.<ref>'''[[Grimoire/Enemies/SIVA|Dormant SIVA Clusters]]'''</ref><ref>[https://owlsector.bungie.net/ '''Owl Sector''']</ref>

At some point, SIVA was transported to worlds outside of the Solar System under the direction of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]].{{citation needed}}

=== Reawakened ===

Many years later, Rasputin was reactivated when the [[Iron Lords]], hoping to harness SIVA to bring about a new Golden Age, trespassed into Site 6. Rasputin treated the intruders as hostile and activated its defenses. Unable to communicate or reason with Rasputin, the Iron Lords still managed to infiltrate Site 6 and release the plague. In the end, almost all of the Iron Lords and [[Iron Wolves]] sacrificed themselves to stop SIVA and seal it within its complex. Rasputin ceased its onslaught once it deemed Site 6 was re-secured, and began passive observation of the [[Guardian]]s. Lord [[Saladin Forge]], one of the surviving Iron Lords, quarantined the [[Plaguelands]] to prevent SIVA from ever being unleashed again.<ref>'''[[Grimoire/Allies/Iron Lords|Iron Lords Grimoire]]'''</ref>

Rasputin treated the intruders as hostile and activated its defenses. Unable to communicate or reason with Rasputin, the Iron Lords still managed to infiltrate Site 6 and release the plague only for it to possess some of their number and turn against their fellow Iron Lords.

A year after the [[Taken War]], while looting ancient tombs from the Golden Age, the [[Fallen]] [[House of Devils]] managed to unearth SIVA once more. Realizing the potential of this nanotechnology, their [[Devil Splicers]] imbued themselves with it and began infecting their fellow Devils in an attempt to transform themselves into machine gods. Unable to contain the [[SIVA Crisis]] on his own, Lord Saladin began seeking out [[Guardian]]s to help him form a new generation of the Iron Lords to defeat the mutant army and end the threat of SIVA once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-14-5)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard''</ref>

=== SIVA Crisis ===

{{Quote|What is this complexity? ~consume enhance replicate~ The machine of a thousand parts, fashioned by single mind. From where does such complexity arise? What does the creation of a mind require? In the long march of life’s procession, order is created from disorder. The rise of complexity is not promised. Such things are not inevitable, and yet here I stand. ~consume enhance replicate~|Aksis, Archon Prime.}}

A year after the [[Taken War]], while looting ancient tombs from the Golden Age, the [[Fallen]] [[House of Devils]] managed to unearth SIVA once more. Realizing the potential of this nanotechnology, their [[Devil Splicers]], led by [[Aksis, Archon Prime]], imbued themselves with it and began infecting their fellow Devils in an attempt to transform themselves into machine gods. Unable to contain the [[SIVA Crisis]] on his own, Lord Saladin began seeking out [[Guardian]]s to help him form a new generation of the Iron Lords to defeat the mutant army, avenge his fallen comrades and end the threat of SIVA once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-14-5)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
