Social

Social is a game mode of Destiny. Designated social spaces are non-combat areas where a player may interact with other players. While at a social space, the player camera changes to a third person view. There are currently four accessible social spaces in the game, each with a different set of features available to the player: the Tower, the Vestian Outpost, The Lighthouse, and the Iron Temple.
