'''The Bombardment''' is the large-scale invasion of the Last City during the [[Lore:The Dark Future|Dark Future]] timeline.

==Prelude==
Long before the Bombardment, the Vanguard had sent Guardians into the [[Black Garden]] to run cloak-and-dagger missions to suppress the [[Black Heart]]. However, the [[Darkness]] in the Heart only corrupted those who got close to it.<ref name="Four">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: Beyond Light - Lore:The Dark Future, [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 4: Unguarded|Chapter 4: Unguarded]]''</ref>

After coming into contact with an [[Unknown Artifact|artifact]] within the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar Pyramid]], [[Eris Morn]] would also be corrupted.<ref name="Five">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: Beyond Light - Lore:The Dark Future, [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 5: Almighty, Once|Chapter 5: Almighty, Once]]''</ref>

After the [[Pyramid]]s [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|arrived]], [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] would raid the [[Deep Stone Crypt (location)|Deep Stone Crypt]]. She would also acquire [[Stasis]] there and spread it across [[Sol System|Sol]].<ref name="Two">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: Beyond Light - Lore:The Dark Future, [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 2: Itinerant Mendicant|Chapter 2: Itinerant Mendicant]]''</ref> 

==History==
Under the orchestration of Eris,<ref name="Five"/> Eramis, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and the Cabal attacked several City strongholds at once. Dark Guardians also took part in these attacks.<ref name="Three">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Dark Future|The Dark Future]], [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 3: Towerless|Chapter 3: Towerless]]''</ref>

During the attack, Savathûn would battle Zavala and call him "the nonbeliever" before tearing off one of his legs and draining his [[Ghost]], [[Targe]], of Light.<ref name="Five"/> The [[Tower]] would also be destroyed, and [[Ikora Rey]] would be buried under it.<ref name="Three"/>

In the end, the City would be left in ruins and the [[The Traveler|Traveler]] would flee.<ref name="Three"/><ref name="Five"/>

==Aftermath==
After the Bombardment, the Dark Guardians turned on Eramis and the Cabal,<ref name="Five"/> the latter of which would flee to the service of [[Mara Sov]] aboard the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: Beyond Light - Lore:The Dark Future, [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 7: Commandeered|Chapter 7: Commandeered]]''</ref>

In another timeline, while [[War against the Witness#Defense of the Last City|defending the City]] from the Witness's forces and prepping for [[Operation Ahamkara]], Elsie coordinated with [[Lord Shaxx]] to pinpoint areas of the City to reinforce using her memory of how it looked in the Bombardment.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Into the Light]] - Item Description: [[Elsie's Rifle#Lore|Elsie's Rifle]]''</ref>
