The number seven in Bungie's games, Marathon, Destiny and Halo, appear in lore, level design and gameplay mechanics.

The Septagon was the original name of the "Bungie.net Community Forum"

Happy #BungieDay!

Originally a forum fan club, the Seventh Column evolved to symbolize the broader Bungie community during the Halo era, eventually representing Bungie itself.
Cultivation of its players as a vital "column" of support, engagement, and influence, key to their "world domination".

It now represents Bungie's community, its internal philosophy and its ambitious (often humorous) corporate goals. Visually, it's a hollow ring with seven spokes, the top one disconnected.

The most terrifying aspect was the permanent death of Guardians. Their Ghosts were not just destroyed; their Light was consumed, leaving them as permanent casualties.

The Vanguard was forced to order a full retreat, abandoning the Moon and declaring it off-limits.

Crota didn't just command from afar; he descended into the thick of the battle, cutting down countless Guardians. Stories describe the sky burning green and the very surface of the Moon cracking with his blows. Legendary Titans like Wei Ning were among those personally slain.

The Guardians deployed in massive numbers, intending to overwhelm the Hive with sheer force. However, they were met by a well-organized and ruthless Hive army led by Crota himself.

Guardians had no knowledge that Crota existed in his own Ascendant Throne World, making his physical form in our reality merely an avatar. Even if they "killed" him on the Moon's surface, he would simply retreat to his Throne World to regenerate, making him seemingly invincible.
