+BitNodes
+========
+A BitNode is an important part of the game's storyline. In the game, you discover
+what BitNodes are by following the trail of clues left by the mysterious jump3r
+(essentially a minimal questline).
+
+What is a BitNode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A BitNode is the complex simulated reality in which you reside. By following the messages
+from jump3r, you discover that humanity was enslaved by an advanced alien race, called
+the Enders, using virtual simulations that trapped the minds of humans.
+
+However, the Enders didn't just create a single virtual reality to enslave humans, but many
+different simulations. In other words, there are many different BitNodes that exist.
+These BitNode are very different from each other.
+
+jump3r tells you that the only hope for humanity is to destroy all of these BitNodes.
+Therefore, the end goal for the player is to enter and then destroy each BitNode at least once.
+
+Destroying a BitNode resets most of the player's progress but grants the player a
+powerful second-tier persistent upgrade called a :ref:`Source-File <gameplay_sourcefiles>`.
+Different BitNodes grant different Source-Files.
+
+Each BitNode has unique characteristics that are related to varying backstories. For example,
+in one BitNode the world is in the middle of a financial catastrophe with a collapsing
+market. In this BitNode, most forms of income such as working at a company or Hacknet
+Nodes are significantly less profitable. Servers have less money on them and lowered
+growth rates, but it is easier to lower their security level using the weaken() Netscript function.
+
+Furthermore, some BitNodes introduce new content and mechanics. For example there is one
+BitNode that grants access to the :ref:`Netscript Singularity Functions <netscript_singularityfunctions>`.
+There is another BitNode in which you can manage a gang to earn money and reputation.
+
+How to destroy a BitNode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Initially, the only way to destroy a BitNode is to join the Daedalus :ref:`Daedalus <gameplay_factions>`.
+From Daedalus, the player can obtain an Augmentation called 'The Red Pill', which doesn't cost any money
+but does require a good amount of faction reputation.
+
+After installing 'The Red Pill', the player must search for and then manually hack a
+server called 'w0r1d_d43m0n'. This server requires a hacking level of 3000 in order
+to successfully hack it. This will destroy the player's current BitNode.
+
+There is a second method of destroying a BitNode, but it must be unlocked by first
+destroying BitNode-6 or BitNode-7 (Bladeburners).

+
+When the player destroys a BitNode, most of his/her progress will be reset. This includes things
+such as Augmentations and RAM upgrades on the home computer. The only things that will persist
+through destroying BitNodes is:
+
+* Source-Files
+* Scripts on the home computer
