They were surprised by Nessus actually being where it is as it shouldn't be there, the ship's crash was due to the result of the Orbiting Centaur's added six dimensions to it's four dimensional. They were all lost in their sense of Time, past and future went hand and hand for them.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/exodus-down?highlight=dimensions Exodus Down]</ref> 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]].

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 permanently halted but the Leviathan continues to slowly consume Nessus into Royal Wine. | ||

Some unknown force (possibly Vex technology) caused the ship to lose control and veer towards Nessus, which was near it's path at the time. The engines and some parts of the ship malfunctioned, resulting in a crash landing. That was when the crew of the Exodus Black would face the Vex and meet their ends. | ||
