'''Seeder Ships''', also known as '''Seeders''', are [[Hive]] spacecraft that are sent to penetrate the surface of a terrestrial body for colonisation. They are strategically used to insert Hive warriors into a designated location and their presence often signifies Hive infestation of an area. | '''Seeder Ships''', also known as '''Seeders''', are [[Hive]] spacecraft that are sent to penetrate the surface of a terrestrial body for colonisation.

When the [[Vanguard]] failed to reclaim the Moon at the [[Great Disaster]], the Hive launched more Seeders onto the [[Cosmodrome]] and targeted their efforts against [[Rasputin]].

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.

The demise of Oryx saw a decrease in the use of Seeder Ships as the Hive forces of [[Savathûn]] and [[Xivu Arath]] opted to use other means to invade the [[Solar System]]. When the Guardian revisited the Moon to investigate the presence of [[Nightmare]]s, the once carefully maintained Seeders Ships within the Temple of Crota collapsed into disrepair and were abandoned by the surviving broods. Later, [[The Crow]] discovered a nodule of Hive technology that bared a resemblance to components he found atop of Seeder Ships. This technology he uncovered was a [[Cryptolith Lure#Lore|Cryptolith Lure]], suggesting that Seeders may have been used to spawn [[Cryptolith]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]], PlayStation 4, [[Cryptolith Lure#Lore|Cryptolith Lure]]</ref> | The demise of Oryx saw a decrease in the use of Seeder Ships as the Hive forces of [[Savathûn]] and [[Xivu Arath]] opted to use other means to invade the [[Solar System]].

Seeders can be differentiated into two variants, the large Seeder Ship and small Seeder Pod. The larger vehicle has been documented carrying a Wizard and a swarm of Knights, whilst the small pod can carry smaller infantry such as [[Thrall]]s and [[Cursed Thrall]]s.<ref>'''Amazon:''' [https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Construx-Destiny-Attack-Building/dp/B01IWX5ETI Mega Construx Destiny Attack Building]</ref> | Seeders can be differentiated into two variants, the large Seeder Ship and the small Seeder Pod.

Much like other Hive ships, Seeders are unique for their unorthodox shape. They are geometrically quadrilateral in a shape that features an elongated spire that emits a green or blue glow and a central hub that can house Hive warriors. This bottom half of the Seeder has four doors that allow the Hive to board the ship and operate it from a terminal within. These doors are then sealed shut with Hive Runes and opened when they crash onto a terrestrial body, whereby the Hive spread their infestation by carving tunnels from the doors. Evidence of this can be seen by the Seeder located at the [[Grottos]]. | Much like other Hive ships, Seeders are unique for their unorthodox shape.

They have also been observed to have four big exhausts that emit steam and may be the source of the vehicle's propulsion. Whilst it is unknown what composite is used to create Seeders, they appear to use the same material that created [[Tombship|Tomb Ships]] and are carved with a Seeder sigil on the outside.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/09/09)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/fused-tomb-stone Tomb Stone]''</ref> The hull appears to be invulnerable, as Seeders remain intact when they crash onto surfaces and demolish buildings in its wake. | ||
