[quote]Intent:[/quote]This thread is dedicated to [i][b]The Traveler[/i][/b]. Here we store all the information we can find on it and discuss what we've found.

[i]"A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second Moon. No one knows where it came from or what it's here for, but only that it's our protector."[/i] ~ [url=http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/186ndtmch5it3jpg/original.jpg]Source[/url]
[b][i]Bungie has confirmed to Kotaku that the document and some of the art is genuine, and is somewhat representative of the game.[/i][/b] ~ [url=http://kotaku.com/5963807/story-details--art-leak-from-bungies-next-game-the-sci+fi-epic-destiny]Kotaku/Source[/url]
Questions:
How do they know it is their protector?
Is it a bit worn out, or is that just the art being indistinct?
Where does it state that the [i]planetoid[/i] is called [i]"The Traveler"[/i]?
What is it capable of in terms of combat, offensive/defensive?
[b]Note:[/b] the above questions might already be solved.
Will update when new information is available.
[quote]The Allegiance:[/quote]
In order to avoid confusion and make the discussion on the subject more efficient, I hope to make this a [i]sibling[/i] to some of the other Destiny related threads. I've taken the freedom to suggest who might be willing enter this allegiance by linking some of the more [i]proficient[/i] threads on what might be core elements of Destiny? Hope you don't mind:

[b]The Traveler[/b], what is its purpose, what are your theories, found something notable, or do you have an important questions to add?
As I see it, this could very well be the Mendicant Bias of the series.
