| Many years after, [[Fallen]] of the [[House of Exile]] would come to Kepler in search of a home away from the violence on Earth. There, they would establish peaceful relations with the Aionians, exchanging knowledge and tales of each other and their cultures.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Edge of Fate]] - Item Description: [[AION Renewal Suit#AION Renewal Grips/Gauntlets/Gloves|AION Renewal Grips/Gauntlets/Gloves]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Edge of Fate]] - Item Description: [[AION Renewal Suit#AION Renewal Vest/Plate/Robes|AION Renewal Vest/Plate/Robes]]''</ref> Later, the Aionians would attempt to help the Exiles to synthesize [[Ether]].

He would take command of the Exiles, utilizing an ability given to him by breathing in the dark matter tainted Ether to see and speak through the other Exiles, and lead them against the Aionians, cutting them off from the Singularity and intending on using it to ascend.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Edge of Fate]] - Item Description: [[AION Renewal Suit#AION Renewal Strides/Greaves/Boots|AION Renewal Strides/Greaves/Boots]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Edge of Fate]] - Item Description: [[AION Renewal Suit#AION Renewal Cloak/Mark/Bond|AION Renewal Cloak/Mark/Bond]]''</ref><ref name="Invitation"/>
| | In response to an invitation from the Nine, [[Maya Sundaresh]] arrived on Kepler seeking III, whom she attempted to persuade using the Echo to exchange the Golden Age-era Earth with its present-day version, using the Nine's unique ability to send objects through time. However, III was unable to comply, as it could only send objects forward in time, not backward, and in retaliation Maya killed III by forcing it to enter three-dimensional space.{{citation needed}} The massive corpse of III remained on the surface of Kepler, with the singularity at its core now posing an existential risk to the rest of the Sol System in the event that it might destabilize.{{citation needed}} |
