Due to the disappearances of all their scouting parties and the sudden activity of the anomaly, the [[Cabal]] began quickly amassing an attack force to be sent through it as it began expanding at an alarming rate. Meanwhile the Fallen made preparations to flee from Nessus, and the Vex ran calculations and prepared for the worst to come. A transmission was intercepted from beyond the portal by the [[Tower]], although heavily garbled, the [[Vanguard]] was able to determine that someone from beyond the rift was trying to warn them. | Due to the disappearances of all their scouting parties and the sudden activity of the anomaly, the [[Cabal]] began quickly amassing an attack force to be sent through it as it began expanding at an alarming rate.

The Scavengers began to breach into multiple major enemy fortifications across the system, such as the [[Pyramidion]] on [[Io]], the various Vex structures on [[Nessus]], the [[Citadel]] on [[Venus]], [[Firebase Hades]], and many more, as well as various [[Golden Age]] structures and ruins scattered throughout the system. The invaders quickly took root and secured footholds in their new territories, and were resilient enough to withstand countless strikes from opposing forces and maintain a constant presence, however unwelcome. | The Scavengers began to breach into multiple major enemy fortifications across the system, such as the [[Pyramidion]] on [[Io]], the various Vex structures on [[Nessus]], the [[Citadel]] on [[Venus]], [[Firebase Hades]], and many more, as well as various [[Golden Age]] structures and ruins scattered throughout the system.

Parties of Scavengers had also been reported breaching the [[Hellmouth]] and establishing a tight foothold, so much that the local Hive faced difficulties in ridding them.

As the | As the Scavengers’ presence in the system remained strong, a new threat would emerge through the rift: the Drovalis, a hive-minded swarm of plant/fungus spores that would spread across surfaces in the form of a fleshy moss, which, if left unchecked, would grow into a virulent infestation of unfathomable proportions, from whole ecosystems of hostile creatures and biomachines would emerge. | ||
The Drovalis first made its presence known on Pluto, where upon arriving on their massive bioships, completely wiped out the Red Legion and Scavenger forces that made their home there, and overran the dwarf planet and its moons in a matter of days, transforming them into massive hives covered in organic biomass.

However a good number of the Cabal and Scavengers weren’t actually killed; rather, their bodies were invaded by the Drovalis’ spores, mutating them and transforming them into zombie-like monsters under the will of the hive mind. | ||

The situation would only escalate even further as the Drovalis would then send hundreds of meteor-like seeder pods into the inner system, which landed on Mars, Earth, Moon, Venus and Mercury, quickly spreading the Drovalis infection upon impact. The Solar Coalition immediately responded to the threat they posed, and managed to eliminate the corruption that spread across the four planets before it could truly take root, but the assaults would only persist. The enemy races of Destiny would suffer tremendous casualties at the hands of the Drovalis with vast majorities of them succumbing to the spores and transforming into mutants. | The situation would only escalate even further as the Drovalis would then send hundreds of meteor-like seeder pods into the inner system, which landed on Mars, Earth, Moon, Venus and Mercury, quickly spreading the Drovalis infection upon impact.

Meanwhile the plague would only continue to spread, sending massive carrier ships to [[Io]] and [[Titan]] and deploying forces there to infect both of the moons. [[Forum:Parvus-4|Parvus-4]] noted that the Drovalis creatures operating on Titan appeared to have adapted specifically to thrive in its methane conditions. Massive Drovalis sea creatures were also reported to have been sighted on the oceanic moon, and they had also begun to infest the Solarium, driving the Hive out while infecting those that remained. | Meanwhile the plague would only continue to spread, sending massive carrier ships to [[Io]] and [[Titan]] and deploying forces there to infect both of the moons.

Despite their heavily resistance however, most of them would too be infected, the Vex even despite their mechanical nature as the Drovalis’ hive mind influence allowed it to take over technology. The infestation then began to turn the Pyramidion’s defense systems against the remaining Scavengers and Vex to quickly wipe them out, however the Young Wolf, along with several other powerful Guardians and allies of the City, responded to the Drovalis’ presence on Io. There, they managed to infiltrate the infected Vex structure and [[Forum:Lunar Infestation|eliminate]] the source of the infection that originally allowed the Drovalis to manipulate the Pyramidion’s systems: the [[Forum:Festering Chord|Festering Chord]]. However, this victory would not last, as it would soon be apparent that the hive still maintained a tight hold on Io even despite the destruction of the Chord, apparently remaining completely unchanged by the loss of their assumed commander. But in reality, the Chord merely aided in the Drovalis’ efforts and was not a true leader, for the Drovalis are all coordinated by a hive mind and thus do not require true commanders of any sort. | ||
Growing increasingly concerned of the massive threat the Drovalis posed to the entire system and their ability to easily infect even the reality-warping Vex, the Taken Kell Vothriks worked with [[Forum:Viznoor, the Black|Viznoor]] and the [[Forum:Stygian Brood|Stygian Brood]] to develop a means of which to truly fight and repel the infestation. | Growing increasingly concerned of the massive threat the Drovalis posed to the entire system and their ability to easily infect even the reality-warping Vex, the Taken Kell Vothriks worked with [[Forum:Viznoor, the Black|Viznoor]] and the [[Forum:Stygian Brood|Stygian Brood]] to develop a means of which to truly fight and repel the infestation. | ||

In response to the Solar | As this happened, the Drovalis spread its efforts to Nessus, bombarding its surface with seeder pods in order to infect everything in sight. In response to the Solar Coalition’s repeated strikes against it, the Hive Mind coordinated the Drovalis’ efforts to spawn several powerful monsters to release all across the system, capable of facing multiple Guardians along with whole armies of lesser enemies. These ferocious creatures would allow the Drovalis to spread more quickly and efficiently while they kept their enemies occupied. They also set their sights on the [[Dreadnaught]], sending a fleet of ships to board and infect the derelict vessel, breeding a gigantic creature to achieve this. The monster burrowed deep into the very bowels of the Dreadnaught and already began to release spores to infest it from the inside out while hordes of smaller creatures repeatedly assaulted Vothriks’ Taken and the Stygian Brood, who had moved into the Dreadnaught as of the [[Forum:Shadowkeepers Apocalypse|Shadowkeeper Apocalypse]]. With the [[Forum:Lost Dreadnaught (raid)|combined efforts]] of the entire Solar Coalition however, this monster would be slain and the spread of the Drovalis slowed significantly as many of them were destroyed as well. | ||
