The Skirmish of Titan is an ongoing conflict between the Vanguard, assisted by Deputy Commander Sloane and a Leviathan-like creature on Titan named Ahsa, Xivu Arath's Hive and Taken forces, and a small detachment of Lucent Hive forces encounter deep within and below the New Pacific Arcology.

History

This section needs expansion. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

Before Titan's return, the Vanguard attempted to follow the Witness using the portal it carved on the Traveler. Joxer volunteered, though the attempt was met with failure as Joxer and his Ghost were partially liquified within their ship after it was ejected.

Suddenly, a distress call came on Titan from Sloane, requesting assistance. Guardians alongside Zavala, Saint-14, and Saladin Forge came into Titan. The Drifter also volunteered, much to Saladin and Saint's chagrin. There, they would clash with Xivu Arath's forces as well as the HG revealing herself through her own voice.

With Drifter's help, the Guardian and Zavala made contact with Sloane below the methane oceans where they find out that Sloane is partially taken. And that the distress call was meant for Ahsa, a proto-worm whom Sloane bonded with. Ahsa had valuable intel related to the Witness. However, Sloane needed the egregore coral that is nestled beneath Titan's methane oceans in order for her connection with Ahsa to be strengthened so the worm could share the information.

Wasting no time, Guardians would embark on salvage operations on Titan, salvaging much-needed supplies while dealing with Xivu Arath's forces. They went into deep dives to harvest the egregore coral needed for Sloane and Ahsa while also dealing with dangerous foes sent by the Hive's God of War including J4WS-Wrathborn Servitor, Kudazad, Bound to Xivu Arath, and a familiar foe Kelgorath who became Taken.
