Fallen

This article is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

Template:Species Infobox The Fallen is an alien species that fights against the remnants of the human race. They are a nomadic race of pirates who were once part of noble houses. This is evidenced by the banners and flags they still fly even after their fall from nobility.^[1] The Fallen Houses have apparently laid claim to all worlds and territories once owned by humanity, and fight the remnants of the human race, and possibly one another, for dominion over these places.

Fallen have 2 pairs of arms and typically wear a helmet with what appears to be respirator devices.^[2] There will be some ways that said extra pairs of arms will affect combat. When killed, a Fallen's "soul" escapes it.^[3]

Fallen society is divided into a number of Noble Houses, none of which are known to maintain friendly relations with one another.^[4]
