The gun Apple of Discord (the vanguard pulse rifle ) is a reference to the Golden Apple of Discord. The Goddess Eris tossed the apple into the feast of the gods at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis as a prize of beauty, thus sparking a vanity-fueled dispute among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War. Speaking of Eris, Eris is the Goddess of Discord, also of strife and chaos; the opposite of harmony. Yes Eris Morn, at the end of the TTK cut scene where she picks up Oryx's relic thingy (looks like that stone on our swords) she leaves a cliff hanger (to sell 8 years of content). Knowing this, things are going to get worse than Oryx. According to the Grimore, the hive are just barbaric space zombies. The only reason they have the advance technology is because, they found "ancient technology". You can argue that they evolved from that technology(and learned English).
