The Collapse

The Collapse was one of the first big things to happen in the Destiny series. When The Witness led the Black Fleet to the Sol system to destroy everything the Traveler and people had built together, the Collapse started. The Pyramid ships, The Witness’ Disciples, and Savaathun all wanted to shut down the Sol system and make it silent.

In The Collapse, the generations of progress made by people would fall apart in front of them. Nightmares came true, and the cities they had built on Earth and the other worlds and moons of the solar system were abandoned and destroyed. The Collapse was over when the Traveler took his last breath and the Ghosts were born.

Humanity’s Dark Age

Humanity went into the Dark Age after The Collapse. There was no more of the prosperity seen in the Golden Age of humans, and the end of what was known had come. People were scattered all over Earth, and messages from other worlds were broken and thrown away. This meant that people had to try to fix what they could.

Humanity wasn’t just trying to start over from scratch; they also had to worry about other alien life, like the Fallen. Even worse, the Lightbearers gave humanity a new demigod friend or a new oppressor with unimaginable power. This was especially true when the Dark Age brought the Cabal and the Fallen to the Sol system.

Ironsbane

The City Age came after the Dark Age. With the help of the Iron Lords, who helped get rid of the oppressive Lightbearer Warlords, the Iron Lords were building the Last City. This was a good sign for humanity’s new start. But another bad thing happened when these Iron Lords found SIVA, a technology made of nanites that could attack and eat both living things and machines.

What was called Ironsbane was SIVA’s attack on the Iron Lords. Thanks to the Warmind Rasputin, the Iron Lords were slaughtered, and only Lord Saladin was left alive. The death of the Iron Lords would be hard on the Last City, since these guardians were now working for one sad leader instead of two.

The Great Disaster

Too long, people had to live without the Moon. The Hive took over the Moon because humanity was getting weaker, but now that there are more Lightbearers, who are now called Guardians, humanity can try to take back the Moon. But this was called “The Great Disaster,” and hundreds or even thousands of Guardians died because of it.

When the Guardians went to the Moon to feed Crota, the Son of Oryx, a practical Hive God who cut down their troops and killed many Guardians, they were killed. The Guardians who were still alive had to go back to the Last City, leaving behind a lot of dead people.

The Battle Of Twilight Gap

In the Destiny world, war is always going to happen. With so many foreign species and groups trying to claim ownership over land and power, humanity is an easy targe. Because they only have a few Guardians and weapons. The fight of Twilight Gap was one event that put the Last City to the test. It was a fight between the Last City and the Fallen houses Kings, Devils, and Winter.

Many Guardians died in this fight as they tried to protect humanity and the Last City. When the Fallen worked together like this, they might have been at their best. During the Battle of Twilight Gap, Guardians like Lord Shaxx were recognized for pushing the Fallen away from the Last City. Even though it cost them many of their own lives to do so.

The Taken War

The Taken War was one of the bad things that some Funny Shooter 2 warriors may have been a part of. After Crota died, his father, Oryx, came to the Sol System to get his own back. Oryx was the Taken King, and he took things by using the power of the Darkness. With this ancient power, Oryx could control organic life and make strong monsters that were like zombies and would do what he wanted. These monsters were a new force of evil that the Guardians had to fight.

Oryx killed all of the Awoken people, including their queen, in one fell swoop. During the Taken War, Oryx’s power destroyed the worlds and moons of the Sol System until a brave group of Guardians managed to stop him for good. Even though their king was killed, the Taken and their blights still pose a growing threat to the Sol System.

The Red War

The Red War is the next thing that some Destiny warriors might remember. The Cabal was quiet on all fronts for too long. That was, until Dominus Ghaul and the Red Legion attacked the Last City, caged the Travele. And cut all Guardians off from the Light, making them helpless, afraid of dying, and mortal.

The Cabal tried to take over and then destroy the Sol System during the Red War. During the Red War, many Guardians would die, and humanity, a society that was finally ready to grow again, would be brought to its knees. The Red War did end on a good note, as the Cabal failed and the Traveler woke up.

Losing The Traveler

After the Red War, there were a few violent fights and threats against the Guardians for a few year. But nothing as big as what happened during Lightfall. Even though some well-known Guardians died, like Cayde-6 and Rasputin. It was the death of the Traveler that hurt humanity and the Guardians the most. It was also the moment when the Guardians lost and The Witness finally won.

The Witness was able to link a Ghost to the Veil on Neomuna. This gave the Witness a way to open a doorway into the surface of the Traveler and go inside. Where he or she did not know what was inside. Everyone who has tried to go through this door has died, and the Traveler’s heart has stopped. As The Final Shape gets closer, it’s still not clear how terrible it will be for people and Guardians to lose the Traveler.
