The Construct is a special environment, located in the nation of Bastion, on the planet Coda, as of the year 468 LV.
History
The Construct, sometimes called Scelos' Construct, is the location of a Shaper ruin that contains the Shaper relic called the Construct. While not the largest of ruins, it is still colossal in width. This location is thought o have been the origin point of Scars into Bastion and the Construct may have been the relic that brought the cataclysm that brought the scars into region, perhaps Coda.
After Corvus contracted the Freelancer and a few allied lancers to find out what the escari called Scelos was up to, the humans in javelins chased her down the Scar Nest. Eventually, they found her hiding inside the Construct. Here Scelos was not only inside a Scar Tank, but she had fused herself to it and the Construct, leading to the creation of a new cataclysm which brought in more Scars. Fortunately, the ally lancers put an end to Scelos' madness and silenced the construct, preventing it from creating more Scars in 413 LV.

Trivia
- This special or its surroundings will look different during various seasonal times, which includes the presence or absence of various cataclysmic storms.
- The following are one pf two possibilities when it comes to the Construct as a relic:
- The Construct may not be the relic that brought Scars inside Coda, even though it currently is the only known relic that creates non-Fauna, non-Elemental Being, non-Chimera type lifeforms. This is because Faye tells that it can do anything!
- This certainly implies that there must be another relic that specifically creates the Scars. However, for all intents and purposes, the Construct is conveniently located in the location where Scars first originated in Bastion, which means that it could be the relic that brought them to Coda.
- The name of this location isn’t revealed. It is simply called the Construct because is it referred to as such during the expedition the Temple of Scar Stronghold.
