"This is the only Hive launch site we've ever discovered, but there hasn't been a report of a Seeder taking off or landing on Earth since Crota was destroyed. This one's been recently activated. Oryx hasn't given up on a Hive infestation of Earth."
The Ghost.[1]

Seeder Ships, also known as Seeders, are Hive spacecraft used to both colonize a world with Hive lifeforms, and to insert Hive warriors into a designated location. Typically, where a Seeder has landed, a group of Hive have entrenched themselves, and the strange crystals and barnacle-like formations that signal a Hive presence have begun to spread.

History

The earliest documented use of Seeders can be traced back to when Oryx, the Taken King deployed them in his siege against the Gift Mast. Oryx commanded his broods to secretly colonise on the rubbles of a nearby black hole accretion disc and then hurtled the comets onto the worlds of the Harmony race. Seeders were then used to infiltrate the Harmony worlds and allowed his broods and court to grow in strength and successfully topple the Gift Mast.[2]

During the early Golden Age of Humanity, Crota, Son of Oryx sought to destroy the Traveler and its Light and led a Hive contingent to the Moon. They quickly hollowed out the Moon to create a massive underground fortress known as the Hellmouth and built a Seeder Ship launch base within the Temple of Crota.

From this staging ground, the Hive sent Seeder Ships to Earth with the intention of colonising the planet and first deployed their ships in the Eastern Flood Zone. The Hive terrorised the local population and forced the gaunt survivors to refuge within the ruins and beg for protection to a fireteam of Guardians. The fireteam discovered the Seeder Ships at the Rusted Lands and clashed against a Wizard and her Knights at night. Only one surviving Hunter returned to warn the Last City of the first Hive invasion of Earth.[3]

When the Vanguard failed to reclaim the Moon in the Great Disaster, the Hive launched more Seeders onto the Cosmodrome and targeted their efforts against Rasputin who they previously battled in many fronts.[4] Their reemergence was discovered by the newly risen Guardian who later informed the City of the troubling news. More Seeder Ships were reported to hit the Cosmodrome and the Hive even swarmed the Himalayas.[5][6]

The Guardian then traveled to the Moon and discovered a launch base inside the Temple of Crota with more Seeder Ships ready to invade Earth. Ghost noted that the Hive had been using those ships to seed Earth for centuries.[7][8]

Following the death of Crota, Oryx sought vengeance against those who killed his son and deployed hundreds of Seeders on Ceres and two hundred Seeders on Pallas.[9] When the Guardian returned to the Moon, Ghost noted the Seeder Ships were recently activated as Oryx never gave up on infesting Earth with more Hive.[10]
