The '''Black Fleet''' is an armada of massive [[Darkness]]-aligned tetrahedral vessels, known as [[Pyramid]]s. It is commanded by, or at least plays host to, an entity known as the [[The Witness|Witness]] and their followers, the [[Disciples]]. Collectively, the fleet is the ancient enemy and antithesis of the [[Traveler]], and was responsible for the [[Collapse]] on [[Earth]].
The '''Black Fleet''' is an armada of massive [[Darkness]]-aligned tetrahedral vessels, known as [[Pyramid]]s. It is commanded by the entity known as [[The Witness|the Witness]] and its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]]. The Black Fleet is the antithesis of [[The Traveler|the Traveler]], and is responsible for the cataclysmic destruction of countless civilizations uplifted by it, with the [[Whirlwind]] of [[Riis]] and the [[Collapse]] of [[Earth]] being two of the most recent examples.

The Black Fleet is closely associated with the [[Darkness]], so much so that it is sometimes referred to as "the Darkness" itself.

Voices have contacted [[The Guardian]] when near the Pyramids on Luna, Io, and Europa; in all cases, these voices have spoken through the Guardian's Ghost. The Ghost refers to the unknown speakers as 'The ones who spoke through me' rather than referencing the Pyramids directly. These voices likely belong to the [[The Witness|Witness]], due to the telltale usage of "we" rather than "I", as The Witness refers to itself.

===The Ancient Past===
===The Ancient Past===
The origins of the Black Fleet are unknown. It has presumably existed for at least as long as the [[Traveler]] and is known to have been active billions of years ago, long before the destruction of [[Lubrae]] and the rise of the [[Hive]]. Whether the [[Witness]] or its people crafted the first Pyramids, or whether the Pyramids predate the Witness, is unknown.
According to the creature known as [[Ahsa]], the [[Pyramids]] were constructed by the species that gave rise to the [[the Witness|Witness]], and were later used by the Witness when it left its homeworld in pursuit of the Traveler.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref> Over time, the Witness would recruit Disciples from various species, including [[Rhulk]] and [[Nezarec]], each of whom would be granted their own Pyramid.


===The Golden Age===
===The Golden Age===
Sometime in the late Golden Age, [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] and the [[Aeronautics of China]] launched a joint venture called [[K1]] to discover extra-spatial transmissions emitting somewhere beneath the surface of the [[Moon]]. Excavating at the [[Mare Cognitum|Ocean of Storms]], they uncovered an [[Anomaly (artifact)|artifact]] acting as a transceiver for the Pyramids, to which they believed to be communicating with the [[Traveler|Traveler's]] origin. Unfortunately, exposure to the artifact created [[Nightmares]] that plagued the crew with insomnia, hallucinations, and major psychosis to which [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] had to have the artifact sealed in a sophisticated [[The Anomaly|containment system]]. [[Kuang Xuan]], the project commander of the K1 mission, instead turned to one of their sites' antennae to intercept the artifact's transmissions and had the project on lockdown. The team would stay isolated on the Moon for a time until the [[Collapse]], which they were slaughtered by the sudden appearance of the [[Hive]].

Before the [[Collapse]], [[Clovis Bray I]] discovered the presence of the Pyramids on the [[Jupiter|Jovian]] moon [[Europa]], which he had received visions of from the K1 Anomaly.  
Before the [[Collapse]], [[Clovis Bray I]] led an expedition to the [[Jupiter|Jovian]] moon [[Europa]], which he had received visions of from the K1 Anomaly.  
His expedition uncovered a large statue of a veiled, humanoid female figure, which he appropriately named [[Clarity Control]]. It is believed that the statue was sent by the Pyramids two decades prior, if not in direct communication with them.

===The Collapse===
===The Collapse===
During the [[Collapse]], the [[Pyramid]]s invaded the [[Sol System]] in force, laying waste to the worlds and colonies of the [[Solar System]] as they descended upon the [[Traveler]] and [[Humanity]], nearly wiping out all of humankind in the process. It was only thanks to the counterattack of the Traveler, and the interference of Savathûn, that humanity was able to survive and have some of their people be made [[Guardian]]s, so that hope would still exist for the Solar System in their fight against the [[Darkness]].

After the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]] at the hands of [[The Guardian]], the [[Traveler]] reawakened and sent a pulse of Light throughout the Sol System, and eventually the outer reaches of the Milky Way. This pulse eventually reached the Pyramids as they lay dormant in intergalactic space, and as the pulse washed over the fleet, they reactivated and began moving ''en masse'' to the Sol System.

A single [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] from the fleet was discovered by the [[Hive]] buried beneath the surface of Earth's Moon for an unknown amount of time, but their efforts were unsuccessful at awakening its power. It remains unknown how long this vessel was buried on the Moon, although [[Eris Morn]] speculates that it may have been struck down by the Traveler during the Collapse, or left behind intentionally. It became active by [[Eris Morn]] upon touching it, creating [[Nightmare]]s from the Darkness to haunt the Traveler's light-bearing [[Guardians|Risen]].

Multiple Pyramids can be seen in the background when the Guardian receives a vision of the [[Black Garden]] from the [[Unknown Artifact]] found within the Pyramid on Luna. Later a Guardian [[Garden of Salvation|excursion]] into the Garden revealed that the [[Sol Divisive]] Vex having been communing with a Pyramid Scale and the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent|Sol]] [[Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent|Inherent]] minds were destroyed to stop its spread of Darkness.

After the healing of the Traveler, the Young Wolf would arrive on the frozen wilds of Europa to find a Pyramid much like the one on Luna. However, a new [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|threat]] was also rising on the moon, one in direct contact with the Darkness itself.

After having been shrouded in darkness for some time following the arrival of the Pyramids, [[Mars]] suddenly reappeared in the visible spectrum. The surface of the planet was largely changed, with large swathes that appeared to be temporally displaced, bordered by curtains of eerie green light. There was also a new structure built into the cliffs overlooking Mars' [[Cradle]], showing all the same architectural hallmarks of the Pyramids.

In the pursuit of uncovering the truth of Savathûn's Throne World, the Young Wolf finds themselves once more on Europa, this time at the [[The Communion|base of the Pyramid itself]]. Fighting through hordes of [[Imperial Deserter|Cabal deserters]] under the command of [[Valus Dralgur, the Exiled|an exiled Valus, Darlgur]], the Young Wolf enters the Europan Pyramid. Within the Pyramid is seemingly a city of structures, grander and more elaborate than what was able to be seen within the Lunar Pyramid. After purging the deserters from the Pyramid, the Guardian communes with the Darkness, gaining the ability of [[Deepsight]]<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Mission]]: [[The Communion]]''</ref>.

Found within the bogs of Savathûn's Throne World lies a sunken Pyramid. Only the topmost portion of the Pyramid is exposed, belying its size. [[Vow of the Disciple|Upon venturing inwards]], it is soon realized that there is more than what was above the surface, as a fireteam of Guardians ventures deeper inwards, only to find [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]]. Similar to the Europan Pyramid, the Throne World Pyramid was immense in scale, housing many structures within. After immense trials and obstacles in their way, the fireteam reaches where Rhulk resided within, initiating battle. The Disciple would soon face defeat, facing his death at the hands of these Guardians. Though the Disciple was dead, he served [[Witness|another]], an entity of which little is known about.
A [[Sunken Pyramid]] was later discovered within [[Savathûn's Throne World]]. A fireteam of Guardians [[Vow of the Disciple|ventured inside]], finding [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]], who had been imprisoned within. Similarly to the Europan Pyramid, the Throne World Pyramid was immense in scale, housing many structures within. After overcoming many trials and obstacles, the fireteam faced Rhulk in combat and defeated him.


After the defeat of Rhulk, the Young Wolf would find themselves having to regularly travel through the Throne World's bogs and [[Preservation|back into the Pyramid]], needing to clear out the Scorn attempting to further harness the Darkness.

===The March On Neomuna===
 
{{Quote|Disciple. You know what must be done.|The Witness after communing with the Traveler}}
 
After Rasputin's final sacrifice to prevent [[Eramis]] from using the Warsat Network on the Traveler, the Black Fleet finally advanced on the Traveler and began their assault on the defending forces of the Coalition, effortlessly destroying any craft that came too close with waves of Resonant energy. The Traveler responded to the attack with a massive beam of [[Light]], which struck the lead Pyramid containing the Witness and created blooms of paracausal flora. However, the Witness itself was unaffected, and floated out from its Pyramid to meet the Traveler face-to-face. Eight Pyramids followed it and took up a formation around the Traveler resembling an eight-pointed star, and halted the Traveler's attack by striking it with a concerted Resonant energy surge.
 
After the Witness succeeded in creating a link between the [[Traveler]] and the [[the Veil|Veil]] using the Guardian's [[Ghost]], it opened a triangular portal on the surface of the Traveler. The Pyramids entered the portal, seemingly dissolving into purplish mists of energy as they did so, followed by the Witness itself.

*Though the tetrahedron shape of the Pyramids has remained consistent with their appearance in both concept art as well as the ending cutscene for the Red War campaign, the ships that are featured within Season of Arrivals are far more sleek and feature less prominent segmented sections. The most likely reason for this change was a redesign, however this cannot be confirmed.

*Various artifacts associated with the Black Fleet recall the forms and colors of game pieces or tokens; for example, the [[Relic]] in the [[Enclave]] on [[Mars]] has a section that resembles a tic-tac-toe game, and the [[Dark City]] is filled with sculptures and blocks of black-and-white stone which recall the forms of chess pieces. These may thematically allude to the Darkness' view of the universe as a "game" to be won.
