- "I believe the three Axis Minds found in proximity to the abomination were Vex machines built to serve as vessels for this power: a way to extend its reach across space and time, binding it to the Vex, and the Vex to it. If they had succeeded, I cannot begin to guess what horrors they would have unleashed."
- — Ikora Rey
The Sol Progeny are a triad of Vex Axis Minds located in the Black Garden, which serve as the vessels for the Black Heart; each reflecting a different era of the Sol Collectives.
History
Structure
The Progeny are individually named Primeval Mind, Imminent Mind, and Eschaton Mind, and they each bear a different head shape. They each appear as a lifeless statue until the Black Heart summons them to protect itself.[1] Unlike Zydron, these units are built specifically as vessels for the Black Heart, as tendrils of darkness can clearly be seen emanating from their bodies.[2] The Sol Progeny were already stirring before Guardians invaded the garden,[3] as The Speaker believes they were intended to be used to summon the reality-altering powers of the Vault of Glass into the rest of the system.[4]

Trivia
- The names of the three Sol Progeny – Primeval Mind, Imminent Mind, and Eschaton Mind - contain terms relating to past, present, and future respectively.
- "Primeval" refers to the very beginning of time.
- "Imminent" means something about to happen very soon.
- "Eschaton" refers to the theological "end of days".
- Although the killcam label the three Minotaurs as "Sol Progeny" faction, they individually they bear the appearance of Sol Divisive, Descendants, and Precursors.
- A Vex also named Sol Progeny can be found in the Taken War version of some Nightfall Strikes.
- In the room where players spawn inside the Black Garden, another large Minotaur statue similar to the ones animated by the Black Heart can be observed overgrown with moss and vines. Whether this statue is affected by the destruction of the Heart is unclear, as the pathway back to it during the "Undying Mind" strike is no longer traversable.
- In the Curse of Osiris expansion for Destiny 2, statues of the Sol Progeny can be found in the simulations of The Infinite Forest. However they feature yellow texture rather then the grey and brown appearance of the original statues.
