According to notes taken by [[Clovis Bray I]], Vex gates appear to lack meaningful structure or instrumentality, instead being a seemingly arbitrary arrangement of metallic components. He speculated that the gates instead serve as a kind of "password" that is recognized by some technology far away in time and/or space, which will manifest a working portal only when the component pieces of the gate have been assembled in the correct shape. | |||

Many [[Crucible]] maps, such as [[Vertigo]] and [[Crossroads]], feature active Transfer Gates which teleport Guardians about the map. | They appear on [[Venus]], in certain areas on [[Mars]], in the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]], and the [[The Black Garden|Black Garden]], teleporting reinforcements to battle [[Guardian]]s and others. Skolas utilized several of these Gates during the [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]' [[Story]] mission [[Queen's Ransom]], where he attempted to pull his entire House through time and space.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Queen's Ransom]]''</ref> | ||
