Just farming the three Hive Yellows in the cosmodrone, and made my first kill only to turn around to find 4 Acolytes praying to this green ball and summoning a Hive Yellow Knight Holding and possesing the name plate Sword of Crota, upon killing the Knight i was then able to pick up the sword and kill the rest of the mobs, sword lasted about 5 mins i believe

just thought of something, couldnt you technically run around with the sword on the moon? if i remember there isnt anydoor behind you preventing you from running back.
