Unlike the Dreadnaught, the Nephilim's hull was carved from the corpses of [[Worm#Named Worms|Leviathans]]<ref group="note">Two of these Leviathans are named, Camuul and Xivo, both of which were "honored" as two of the Nephilim's Lost Sectors would be named after them</ref>, that were hunted down and skinned of their chitin by Shin'ra who was assisted by his own Celebrants. Their bodies rewritten in Ascendant fabric and Hive arcana to reforge them into their new shape of the Nephilim.

Its design is similar to that of the [[Tomb Carrier]]s, being a large rectangular hexagon with large spikes protruding from each end. From its front resting its main weapon, being that of an enormous Leviathan vertebrae.  
Its design is similar to that of other [[Tomb Carrier]]s, bearing a massive hull that dwarfs the size of Cabal command vessels, bearing an onyx hue with green highlights and banners attached to it.  
 
===Interior===
Some comparisons can be made between Oryx's Dreadnaught and the Nephilim for its gothic aesthetic, however the architecture within the Tomb Carrier seems to draw heavily or rather inspired the look for the Scarlet Keep and later on Savathûn's Lucent fortress. The color is that of a black and dark grays while banners of a light green hang from ceilings across the ship that bear the sigil of the Weavers. The barbaric look to the architecture proves how ancient and religious the Tomb Carrier is to the Weavers as it is seen as a massive holy site of worship to the Sorrow-Maker himself.  


===Propulsion===
===Propulsion===
The main form of propulsion comes from its central engine, which is powered exclusively by its Soulfire core. However this same core is what powers the entirety of the ship, from its weapons, cloaking and its engines. It is however entirely fortified by layered chitin, practically impenetrable by any known means, even [[Cabal]] munitions were noted to have no effect on its shielding.

Another form of transport would be its ability to make "wounds" in space by opening rifts into the [[Ascendant Realm]]. The method for doing this would be a coven of Hive [[Wizards]] that Shin'ra employed to open these rifts and allow the Nephilim to travel vast distances, even one instance being from to Kuiper Belt, directly into the skies of the [[Dreaming City]] during the [[Forum:Golden War|Golden War]].

===Cloak===
The Nephilim is unique as it possesses its own cloaking field. Virtually undetectable by scanners and the naked eye, the cloaking field is generated by internal systems within the ship. The field dissipates when someone or something comes into firing distance from it, allowing the Nephilim to make near perfect ambushes against enemies.

==Activities==
==Activities==
The Nephilim is a massive [[Destination]], containing many activities from story missions, dungeons and even takedowns, most of which take place deep within the heart of the Nephilim itself. While it doesn't have any new [[Public Event]]s, it does make up for it with the 6-Player activities with the Pit of Decay and Takedwon within the Nephilim.

**However this is not carried over to its various activity's power levels as some like the Shadow's Dawn Dungeon on Master difficulty being 30 above the current max power level and the Pit of Decay being the lowest power level of the current expansion.

*Unlike other seasonal locations and activities that were added into the ''Destiny Content Vault'', the Nephilim is one of the only locations to still be in the game.
*A variant of the Nephilim appears in the [[Forum:High Forge|High Forge]], Shin'ra's Ascendant Realm, which acts as more of a living vessel than an armament.
