-'''Cloud Striders''' are the defenders of [[Neomuna]]. They are considered to be an antithesis of [[Guardians]] in that they volunteer to defend rather than being chosen. They also have a very short lifespan, as opposed to the immortality of Guardians. There are typically only two Cloud Striders at a time, an older one and a younger one. <ref name= "Dev Interview"/>

+==Overview==
+Cloud Striders are Neomuna citizens who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with [[cytomachine|nanotechnology]], granting them enhanced strength and agility, and increasing their height, making them as tall as a [[Cabal]] [[Legionary]]. Additionally, this nanotechnology affords the Cloud Striders powerful weapons, including a compact silver surfboard-like device that both allows the Cloud Striders to quickly move about Neomuna and can be used as a shield, as well as a transforming gun powerful enough to strike a [[Pyramid]].
+However, these augmentations have drawbacks. In addition to a shortened lifespan of about a decade, only two Cloud Striders can exist at any given time. Commonly, these Cloud Strider pairs consist of an older one and a younger one.<ref name= "Dev Interview"/>
 ==History==
-Many [[colony ship]]s sought to escape [[Earth]] during the [[Collapse]]. Most failed to flee [[Sol System|Sol]], and many ended up forming what is now known as the [[Reef]]. One ship, however, successfully transported a group of people to [[Neptune]], where they eventually settled and became the citizens of [[Neomuna]]. The Cloud Striders are Neomuna citizens who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with [[cytomachine|nanotechnology]] at the cost of a shortened lifespan of about a decade.<ref name= "Dev Interview"/>

One ship, however, successfully transported a group of people to [[Neptune]], where they eventually settled and became the citizens of [[Neomuna]]. Some of these citizens chose to augment themselves with nanotechnology to protect the city from threats like the [[Vex]] and the [[Darkness]].
 ==Trivia==
 *In the Lightfall reveal trailer, a transforming weapon used by a Cloud Strider appears to be able to attack a [[Pyramid]] with a rocket<ref>'''Lightfall Reveal Trailer''': ''Destiny 2: Lightfall - Reveal Trailer'' https://youtu.be/lfoeZLp5A7k</ref>. If this is the case, this would be the first known weapon capable of doing so, as the Pyramids have negated any previous attempts at an attack.
 *The nanotechnology they use is not to be confused with [[SIVA]], however, the lore tab for the [[Quicksilver Storm]] does imply that Neomuna is dependent on technology which can interface with that of [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]].
 **[[Elisabeth Bray|Elsie Bray]] also states in this same lore entry that it is unlike anything they had during the [[Golden Age]].<ref> '''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Weapons|Weapon lore]]: [[Quicksilver Storm#Lore|Quicksilver Storm]]''</ref>
