A '''Warmind''' is a type of powerful artificial intelligence designed for strategic warfare purposes. They are so complex and intelligent that the [[Vex]] have difficulty simulating them.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-4)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Vex 3|Ghost Fragment: Vex 3]]''</ref> A [[Planetary Defense Network|network]] of hardened planet-side military installations and countless [[Warsat]]s was built during the [[Golden Age]], prior to the [[Collapse]], and was coordinated by [[Rasputin]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Ides-of-Mail-Sack/en-us/News/News?aid=10337 '''Bungie.net''' - ''The Ides of Mail Sack'']</ref>

According to [[Ikora Rey]], the only Warmind to survive the [[Collapse]] was Rasputin. Although several Warmind vaults across the system remain intact and functional centuries later, they lie empty.<ref name="Fury">'''Bungie (2017-9-8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], Activision Blizzard: [[Fury]]''</ref> A fragment of Rasputin was marooned on [[Earth]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] due to the fragmentation of the Warmind network,<ref name="Fury"/> but is able to remotely access some off-world installations thanks to the recent re-activation of the [[Terrestrial Complex]] comms array.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_2|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]''</ref> After the defeat of [[Xol]] and [[Nokris]] this fragment was reconnected to the greater Rasputin intelligence in the [[Hellas Basin]]

While the relationship between the two is currently unknown, investigations by [[Tyra Karn]] uncovered the existence of subminds alongside their Warmind counterparts. Currently the only three subminds known to exist are [[Charlemagne]], [[Voluspa]], and [[Malahayati]], the three of which are paired with Rasputin. It appears that these minds were once mistakenly regarded by scholars within the City as being Warminds in and of themselves.<ref>[https://www.destinythegame.com/uk/en/expansion2 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny 2 Narrative Preview'']</ref> Nonetheless there may be other Warmind intelligences separate from Rasputin in existence.<ref name="Rasputin"/>
