Titan is a methane ocean | Titan is covered by a methane ocean, its surface dotted by long-abandoned [[Golden Age]] structures such as the [[New Pacific Arcology]] that are slowly sinking below the waves. It has recently become infested by a [[Savathûn's Hive|new Hive sect]], and is being picked over by scavengers from the [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]]. | ||
Titan's methane ocean is inhabited by a variety of life-forms, including at least one [[Leviathan (Titan)|massive sea-serpent like creature]]. | |||

*Contrary to its depiction in ''Destiny 2'', Titan's surface is actually mostly water and rock with methane and hydrocarbons being a chief component in its [[wikipedia:Lakes of Titan|lakes]] as discovered by the ''Cassini–Huygens'' mission. Overall the lakes cover a very small percentage of the surface, making Titan drier than Earth. | *Contrary to its depiction in ''Destiny 2'', Titan's surface is actually mostly water and rock with methane and hydrocarbons being a chief component in its [[wikipedia:Lakes of Titan|lakes]] as discovered by the ''Cassini–Huygens'' mission.

**The [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]] [[Lore]] book implies that Titan as seen in-game was a change brought on by the Darkness as it passed by the moon during the Collapse, though this does not explain where the liquid methane for the global ocean came from. | **The [[Lore:Last Days on Kraken Mare|Last Days on Kraken Mare]] [[Lore]] book implies that Titan as seen in-game was a change brought on by the Darkness as it passed by the moon during the Collapse, though this does not explain where the liquid methane for the global ocean came from. | ||
*Sloane is seen on Titan with her face and arms exposed; given that Titan has apparently not been terraformed by the Traveler, and that methane becomes liquid at -161.49 degrees Celsius (-258.68 degrees Fahrenheit), it is unknown how she can survive without protective equipment. | *Sloane is seen on Titan with her face and arms exposed; given that Titan has apparently not been terraformed by the Traveler, and that methane becomes liquid at -161.49 degrees Celsius (-258.68 degrees Fahrenheit), it is unknown how she can survive without protective equipment. | ||

*Titan is the second smallest public location in ''Destiny 2'' after [[Mercury]], with the second-lowest amount of Lost Sectors and Adventures as well. Much like the [[Moon]] in ''Destiny'', which served as the Hive's main lair, most of the map takes place deep within Hive-infested dungeons that are not public spaces. | *Titan is the second smallest public location in ''Destiny 2'' after [[Mercury]], with the second-lowest amount of Lost Sectors and Adventures as well.

*Before [[Shadowkeep]], Titan was the only location in ''Destiny 2'' not to feature [[Cabal]] as enemies in any capacity. Since then, the [[Moon]] has had no Cabal enemies on it either. | *Before [[Shadowkeep]], Titan was the only location in ''Destiny 2'' not to feature [[Cabal]] as enemies in any capacity.
