What this book is about

This Destiny 1 Grimoire book covers the Vex, the networked machine race that builds vast structures across the system. You get short field notes on each unit, from the Goblin and Hobgoblin to the Hydra, followed by the behavioral subtypes Guardians have met: the Hezen Corrective and Hezen Protective on Venus, the Virgo Prohibition fighting the Cabal on Mars, the worshipful Sol Divisive of the Black Garden, and the time-displaced Vex of the Vault of Glass.

The second half follows Ishtar Collective researchers Maya Sundaresh, Chioma Esi, Shim and Duane-McNiadh, who discover that a captive Vex is simulating them in perfect detail. Unsure whether they are the originals, they plan an escape that calls on a warmind.

Later entries follow what they do with the copies of themselves they recover, and Maya's private log from a secret project in Lhasa, decades on, built to mimic Vex gateways.

The Vex

The Vex are architects of ancient and complex structures thought to be buried within every celestial body. Linked by a network unlike any on Earth, they operate in unison, directed by a single unfathomable purpose.
