==Overview==
Servitors are spheres, built of a dark metal in a shape reminiscent of the Great Machine. Most have a central purple glowing eye, and rarely possess any other distinguishing features or liveries that link it to their House. They are capable of flight, and hover as their main method of travel, however, this seems to be a function of their shell, as the cores of Servitors, once stripped of their armor, appear incapable of movement, yet still react to their surroundings. The desperation of modern Fallen Houses can be seen in the state they keep their Servitors, as the [[House of Dusk]] and [[House of Salvation]] have reduced the amount of plating dedicated to their protection, leaving more of the Servitor's circuitry exposed, however, in the case of [[House of Salvation]], this is intentional, degrading their appearance as a manifestation of their House's hatred for the Great Machine.
Servitors are made in the [[Traveler]]'s image, alluding to its pivotal role in [[Eliksni]] civilization prior to the [[Whirlwind]].<ref>'''Gameinformer (2018/7/5)''', [https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/05/these-are-the-eight-barons-who-helped-kill-cayde-6-in-destiny-2-forsaken The Barons who killed Cayde-6]</ref> Most have a central purple glowing eye, and rarely possess any other distinguishing features or insignia that link them to their House.

While they support Fallen in battle, shielding allies, facilitating communications and transmitting tactical data between one another, the Servitors' main function is to process matter and energy into [[Ether]] for the Fallen's sustenance.
