So, a theory popped up a while ago when discussing Nezarec, the fabled "God". This also relates to the fifth race.
Basically the piece of concept art above was somehow related to the Darkness, with a triangle ship in the background and the statues I guess, vaguely resembling the stick figures in the concept art for D1.
So I had a thought, is that thing in the background really a triangle ship? So I closely analyzed it and what I found was a little bigger than that.
First off, the two pillars around the ball in the middle have a sort of... maze-like design on them. I then had a realization that those are the same symbols found on the ground around the ruins on Io.

Sorry for the quality, I had to screenshot it from Youtube.
Anyway, not only that, but I looked VERY closely at it. There's a little shadow in the background, triangle shaped, very hard to see.
Now to the ball... the ball has markings that look pretty damn close to the Traveler.
As for the giant thing in the background, I noticed a little dip in what would be considered the lower levels of the ship, just like the Pyramid Ships we saw before.
I... I think I now believe this is the fifth race. For so long I just thought it was Hive concept art but... then I looked closely at it.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I just looked at the "city"... the markings look sort of like the ones in the concept art for the Tetrahedral ships.

There is always the theory that darkness doesn’t actually exist. It’s just a lack of light. Maybe the triangle ships are the fifth race. Maybe they are beings that for some reason are just hell bent on extinguishing the light. They could be so powerful, that they were given the moniker “the darkness”. But, like I said, maybe the darkness doesn’t really exist. Just beings (worms, hive, 5th race) who abhor the light.
