The Nine are ancient entities that are currently unknown to the worlds inside The Reef, although a small piece of their history, a merchant named Xûr, periodically appears in the Tower selling exotic equipment to Guardians. The Nine (and Xûr himself) are implied by Xûr's comments to be affiliated with The Darkness.

According to the Grimoire card Ghost Fragment: Legends 2, this is stated about the Nine:

  • The Nine are survivors of the cis-Jovian colonies who made a compact with an alien force to ensure their own survival.
  • The Nine are deep-orbit warminds who weathered the Collapse in hardened stealth platforms.
  • The Nine are ancient leviathan intelligences from the seas of Europa or the hydrocarbon pits of Titan.
  • The Nine arrived in a mysterious transmission from the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster.
  • The Nine are the firstborn Awoken and their minds now race down the field lines of the Jupiter-Io flux tube.
  • The Nine are Ghosts who pierced the Deep Black without a ship and meditated on the hissing silence of the heliopause.
  • The Nine are the aspects of the Darkness, broken by The Traveler's rebuke, working to destroy us from within.
  • The Nine is a viral language of pure meaning.
  • The Nine are the shadows left by the annihilation of a transcendent shape, burned into the weft of what is.
