-The '''Black Armory''' is a secret weapon foundry founded during the late [[Golden Age]]. Its sole surviving member, [[Ada-1]], secretly maintains its wares within the walls of the [[Last City]]. The weapons designed and created are of the highest quality and are therefore highly sought after by the [[Kell's Scourge]].
+The '''Black Armory''' is a clandestine weapons foundry founded during the late [[Golden Age]]. Its sole surviving member, [[Ada-1]], operated in secrecy within the walls of the [[Last City]], before eventually revealing herself to the [[Guardians]] to seek their aid in reclaiming the Armory's lost forges and protecting her wares from the Fallen anarchist faction known as the [[Kell's Scourge]].
-It is for this reason that the Black Armory has maintained in secrecy for centuries until [[Guardian]]s aided Ada in reclaiming their lost forges and safeguarding it from the Scourge and their leader [[Siviks, Lost to None]].
 ==History==
+===Golden Age and Collapse===
 [[File:BlackArmoryClans.jpg|thumb|300px|The family crests of House of Meyrin, Rasmussen Clan and Satou Tribe]]
+The Black Armory was founded at the end of the [[Golden Age]] by three families: the French [[House of Meyrin]], the Norse Rasmussen Clan, and the Japanese Satou Tribe. Each family brought elements of their native heritage to the Armory's designs. The families' matriarchs, [[Henriette Meyrin]], [[Helga Rasmussen]] and [[Yuki Satou]], came to believe that the Earth was under imminent threat from an extraterrestrial enemy, and agreed to manufacture and stockpile advanced firearms to ensure survival of their families.<ref name="BAP 25">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 25''</ref> They built several Forges and sold some of their weapons to compensate for their expenses; Helga Rasmussen, previously of [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]], ran the business side of things.<ref name="BAP 41">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 41''</ref>

+The Armory's precautions failed when the actual [[Collapse]] arrived; their superior firearms provided little protection against the [[Black Fleet]]'s onslaught. After an attack by monstrous minions of the Darkness, the group had to abandon their hideout and leave their Forges behind. Henriette's daughter Adelaide was severely injured in the attack, and Henriette reluctantly agreed to Yuki Satou's proposal to upload Adelaide's consciousness into an experimental [[Exo]] frame, thus creating [[Ada-1]].<ref name="BAP 92">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 92, 93, 94, 95''</ref>

+Ada-1 served as a mobile forge, being able to create and upgrade Black Armory weapons with her bare hands. Unfortunately, the unique weapons produced by Ada-1 turned out to be the group's bane in the post-[[Collapse]] world, as they attracted multiple bandits and robbers, including some [[Risen]] proto-[[Warlord]]s.

+''===Season of the Forge===''
+Following the end of the Red War, the fallen anarchist faction known as the Kell's Scourge sought out the Black Armory's technology for themselves. This led Ada-1 to reveal herself to the Guardians and request their aid in reclaiming the Black Armory's lost Forges and repelling the Scourge.
