Fallen

The Fallen, colloquially known as Spider Pirates, are a nomadic race of four-armed bipedal humanoids located on Earth and the Moon, and are one of the primary antagonist races in the Destiny series.

Biology and Morphology
The Fallen are an agile six-limbed insect-like race with four prehensile arms and two ambulatory legs capable of scaling walls with ease. The race expresses a complex understanding of technology, seen with advanced armor, weapons, vehicles, and space-faring capabilities.

Geography
While the Fallen often squat in abandoned facilities on various worlds such as Earth, the Moon, and Europa, they are nomadic and have no permanent strongholds in these regions and instead, call their starships home.

Hierarchy
The Fallen are organized into distinct houses of nobility, some of which are as hostile to each other as they are to Humans, suggesting brutal infighting within the species. In combat, Fallen warriors operate in packs led by Captains and sometimes employ small drones called Shanks for fire support.

Fallen Dreg
The Dreg are the lowest ranking Fallen in the chain of command. They are thieves driven by desperation and rage. They are crafty, but tend to forfeit their position with their clattering and hissing. Dregs wield shock daggers and pistols, and can be easily distinguished from other Fallen ranks by only having two arms as opposed to the usual four.

Fallen Vandal
Vandals are of a higher rank than Dregs, with weapons capable of long-range attacks and deadlier force. The disadvantage of Vandal's powerful weapons is their requirement of a longer charge time.

Fallen Captain
Captains are fiercest of the Fallen hierarchy, distinguished by their heavy armor, twin swords, and adorned cape. Captains have a sense of nobility about them and consider humanity to be an inferior race.

Technology
Fallen technology is highly advanced, with the possession of energy weapons, advanced armor, automated attack drones, heavy vehicles, and space faring capabilities.
