==History==
==History==
Guided by messages from the [[Anomaly (artifact)|K1 Anomaly]], [[Clovis Bray I]] discovered an artifact or entity on Europa which he called "[[Clarity Control]]", which granted him the ability to combine its power and [[Radiolaria]] to create an ingredient vital to the [[Exo]] project that he dubbed "[[alkahest]]." In doing this, the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] was constructed to facilitate the production of alkahest, processing Vex from the blue hypergiant [[2082 Volantis]]. Following a series of mishaps involving [[Elisabeth Bray]]'s objections to the project, Clovis sealed his consciousness within the Crypt for eternity.

Nearly three years after the conclusion of the [[Red War]] and after the long journey of the main fleet back to the system, the Europan Pyramid re-emerged from the ice and out into the open surface, where it was quickly re-discovered. Later, [[Eris Morn]] and [[The Drifter (character)|the Drifter]], who were contacted by the [[Exo Stranger]], were seen headed towards Europa to find the very ship. Additionally, [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] and the [[House of Salvation]] arrived on Europa, acquired stasis from the pyramid and set up a [[Riis-Reborn|city]] there. Soon, [[Phylaks, the Warrior|Phylaks]] had claimed much territory from the Vex and [[Praksis, the Technocrat|Praksis]] was experimenting on them. Fallen built structures can now be found all over Europa.

==Gameplay==
Europa's [[Patrol]] area takes place in the Rathmore Chaos, with all its areas being part of it. There are three main public areas, each with a [[Lost Sector]], and several more Private and [[Mission]] areas. The main landing zone is [[Charon's Crossing]], an enemy-free area where the main location vendor, [[Variks, the Loyal]], is located. Completing the [[Beyond Light Campaign]] allows players to also land in the [[Beyond (Europa)|Beyond]], next to the [[Exo Stranger]], and in the [[Eventide Ruins]].
 
The main enemy factions are the [[House of Salvation]] and the [[Sol Collective]], though the [[Red Legion]] and [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] also appear for specific activities.
 
One of the public areas is designated every week as the Europa Eclipse Zone. In this area, [[Crux of Darkness|Cruxes of Darkness]] will loom over while debris from the destroyed [[Morning Star]] rains from the sky. Players using [[Stasis]] subclasses will find their abilities have greatly increased regeneration in this area.
 
The planetary resource consists of [[Glacial Starwort]], and players can also acquire [[Herealways]] Pieces throgh various means.
