A '''Brig''' is a unique class of war machines used by the [[Fallen]]. It was first introduced in the [[Black Armory (expansion)|Season of the Forge]], through the debut of [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge|Insurrection Prime]], the [[Prime Servitor]] of the [[Kell's Scourge]] syndicate, who uses a Massive war-mech to break into the [[Black Armory]] on [[Earth]].  

 

They are now currently in use by the [[House of Salvation]], Loyal to [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]. Their cores seemed to have been replaced by similar Fallen [[Walker]] Cores.  

At some point, the Kell's Scourge stole technology from the [[Gofannon Forge]] on [[Nessus]] and integrated it with their own [[Fallen]] technology by kitbashing a [[Walker]] mech and a [[Prime Servitor]] together to create the war machine [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge|Insurrection Prime]].

===Assault of the City===

After losing the forge on [[Nessus]] to the [[Guardians]], the Kell's Scourge launched an incursion into the [[Last City]]. While the city was still recovering from the effects of the [[Red War]], the Scourge occupied a desolate section of the city and unleashed Insurrection Prime to breach into the [[Black Armory|Black Armory's]] vault; which the Fallen had outfit their militants with its stolen technology and weapons to have superior combat capabilities. In response, the [[Vanguard]] dispatched a fireteam to [[Raid|raid]] the Scourge's occupied territory, secure the vault, and destroy the war machine.

Following a few years since Insurrection Prime's appearance and rampage, inferior but mass-produced copies of it began appearing under the banner of [[Eramis, the Shipstealer|Eramis]], the newly proclaimed Kell of Darkness. Identified as Brigs, they were sourced from remnants of the Kell’s Scourge syndicate who had joined Eramis’s House Salvation. The majority of these war mechs appear to be smaller versions in comparison to Insurrection Prime. The smaller versions of these war machines are labeled Brigs while the much larger variants - similar in size to Insurrection Prime - are labeled [[Fallen Commodore|Commodores]].

Brigs are a dangerous and challenging opponent to face on the battlefield, both with their high durability and arsenal of weapons to hammer Guardians with. They will walk around, firing on players with their [[Arc]] turrets, and are also equipped with either one of two additional weaponry; either a back-mounted launcher that they use to rain showers of missiles from the air down onto the nearest player, or an arm cannon to periodically pummel them with [[Void]] cannon blasts. When a player gets close, they will launch them backward with a [[Solar]] AoE melee attack.

When they lose a significant portion of their health, a Brig’s face plate will blow off, exposing their engine core weak point. In this state they will hover stationary in the air while firing endlessly on Guardians with their Annihilation Blaster, which deals tremendous Solar damage and can potentially kill players with a single shot. They will continue to do this until either they or their target has been killed.
