Mars

Mars is the fourth planet in the Solar System. Like the rest of the Solar System, it is littered with ruins from the Golden Age.

History
With the coming of the Traveler, rain washed over Mars. A thriving metropolis came to dominate the skyline of the world, a bastion of human life in the red dunes. With the coming of the Darkness, nearly all of the city was "swept away" and the sand claimed what remained. That city now lies buried beneath a mountain of sand, and only the once-soaring skyscraper peaks are visible. In the modern day, Cabal forces have a presence on the planet, controlling the Exclusion Zone, as do the Vex, who are at odds with the Cabal. There is some degree of conflict as humanity tries to reclaim its former glory.

Gameplay
Guardians can climb into the upper windows of Mars's skyline and delve down toward what was once ground level. Players are likely to encounter entrenched Cabal blocking their way. It will not be unusual to see them fighting Vex.
