I propose an allegiance - DESTINY - The Traveler:
[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.
[quote]What we've got:[/quote]
[url=http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2012/11/51.jpg]Picture of The Traveler[/url], [url=http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2012/11/61.jpg]far[/url] (concept art/proof of concept).
[url=http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Citrus-limon/DeadOrbit.jpg]Dead Orbit[/url] (official logo/possible connection).

[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.

Clearly, the Traveler is Chuck Norris

All hail the Great Sphere! Dead Orbit shall rule the Last City with an iron fist in honor of the Sphere. All will bow before us and the Great One or perish. The Traveler is our Lord Protectorate. We are here to defend the Great Sphere from those that wish harm. This is all the information we have, but it is all we need. For faith will keep us alive, and faith will bring us victory in the name of The Traveler.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] burritosenior[/quote]Curls up into a ball in honor of its roundness, and also to show how feeble I am in comparison to its spendor, and size.. Clearly New Monarchy or one of the other factions are fanatical growers of tamatoes or something, and the Great Sphere has put their patches in a seemingly perpetual state of shade...

I pledge allegiance, to the Sphere, of the united... last city on Earth, and to the... atmosphere in which it floats, one city, under... the Sphere, indivisible, with liberty and justice for... all Sphere followers. [Edited on 12.02.2012 10:37 AM PST]

It's like a lawful good death star

How does it protect the Last City? Telekinetic powers, lasers, forcefield, drones... what? [Edited on 12.02.2012 8:23 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CoRaMo How does it protect the Last City? Telekinetic powers, lasers, forcefield, drones... what?[/quote] It throws decadent capitalist pigs at enemies. The traveler is really Stalin.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CoRaMo How does it protect the Last City? Telekinetic powers, lasers, forcefield, drones... what?[/quote]That's a good one; what are its [i]powers[/i], what is it capable of?

I say we just nuke the hell out of it. I mean come on their is only one city left and that thing is hovering above it just like a big "Hey evil alien dudes the last humans are here." sign.

It's Didact, he upped the ante.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bricypoo Clearly, the Traveler is Chuck Norris[/quote] Good call.

Having looked at the pictures of the Traveler for far too long, an idea began to root itself deep in my mind. As we can see from the mid distance picture portraying the Great Sphere, it looks like its interior is made up of many grey metal rings that each have the geometry of a spine. It's like a curled up skeleton within a partially cracked egg with a hexagonal surface. Wouldn't it be a marvel if they all spinned like clockwork, like a cluster of Halos intertwining? Here, I spent the last hour drawing: [url=http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Citrus-limon/TheTraveler-interior.jpg]Interior[/url]. It ended up being more Giger[i]ish[/i] than I wanted though.. How do you think it looks inside, what is inside? [Edited on 12.06.2012 4:33 PM PST]

Okay after reading some of the data, it looks like its a cooperative multiplayer game, that is massively multiplayer. Multiple player playing on one server, pushing one campaign forward.
-
I propose that the traveler disrupts whatever the aliens use to get around, thus protecting the last city. It is the Shield of the Earth, and we are the Sword. Dead Orbit shall remain when others fall!

looks like a rice ball.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ALI217 looks like a rice ball.[/quote] Blasphemy! Lol as long as it's an epic rice ball.
