==History== | ==History== | ||
Approximately 126 years before the [[SIVA Crisis]], Nessus re-entered the [[Solar System]] after an unexpected delay. The [[Arcadian Valley]] patrol space is scattered with the remains of the Exodus Black, picked clean by Fallen scavengers. <ref name="GF:Cayde-6">'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Cayde-6|Ghost Fragment: Cayde-6]]''</ref> At some point, the [[Vex]], overseen by the [[Axis Mind]] [[Argos, Planetary Core]], fully converted Nessus into a [[Machine World]]. <ref>[https://www.destinythegame.com/story Nessus]</ref> [[The Leviathan]] is actively consuming the planetoid. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Leviathan (raid)]]''</ref> | |||
The Axis Minds of Nessus are noted to have higher than average computational power. One such mind imprisoned [[Failsafe]] for attempting to access the Vex Network. [[Sagira]] sought out another such Mind in order to analyze a map of the [[Infinite Forest]]. | |||
During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Colony ship]] ''[[Exodus Black]]'' crashed on Nessus on its way to Kepler-186. All of its colonists and crew were subsequently either captured and experimented on (such as stealing the memories of the captain) or killed by the [[Vex]]. Unable to contact help, the ship's AI, [[Failsafe]], became dormant until she was awoken by the arrival of [[Cayde-6]]. | |||
Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored. During this mobilization they came into conflict with the local [[Vex]] population<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[The Inverted Spire]]''</ref> as well as the [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]] which was scavenging whatever they could from the remnants of the ''[[Exodus Black]]''.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[The Inverted Spire]]''</ref> | Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored.

Doing so caused Argos to be sucked into the Leviathan's vacuum alongside a squadron of Vex, forcing [[Calus]] to call upon the [[Guardians]] to be rid of the Vex Mind for good. Succeeding in destroying the Axis Mind, the conversion of the planetoid has been halted but the Leviathan continues to slowly consume Nessus into Royal Wine. | ||
