Jovians: Difference between revisions

The '''Jovians''' are worlds beyond [[The Reef]]. [[Human]]ity colonized these worlds during the [[Golden Age]], but very little is known about them post-[[Collapse]] as the [[City]]'s ships have rarely attempted any journey to [[Jupiter]] or beyond.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Places#Jupiter|Jupiter]]''</ref> A group known as the [[Nine]] now rules the Jovian worlds.

[[Xûr, Agent of the Nine]] is a native of the Jovians who has seemingly been tasked with aiding the Guardians by trading powerful weapons and armor for [[Strange Coin]]s. According to Xûr, the inhabitants of the Jovians were once human, but were radically transformed to a far greater extent than even the [[Awoken]]; the Nine themselves are implied to be responsible for this change. He speaks of being made of cells with the memories of the past, and coming from the dust. The [[Light]] can cause pain to him.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
