Some time later | Some time later, the [[Black Fleet]] appeared in the Sol System, leading to the destruction of almost all human civilization in an event known as the [[Collapse]].<ref name = jasonjones>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/11/jason-jones-the-destiny-interview.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 '''Gameinformer''': ''Jason Jones – The Destiny Interview'']</ref> For the first time, the Traveler decided to stand and fight the Black Fleet,<ref name = "GI"/> as it abandoned its work on [[Io]] and raced to rescue its "children", humanity.<ref name = "TravelerGhost"/> | ||
The exact timeline of events during the Collapse remains unclear, but it is known that the Traveler made a final stand against the Black Fleet, incurring severe damage in the process. During the battle, it managed to project a beam of Light into the far reaches of the system to protect the Exodus Colony Ship ''Yang Liwei'' from the Black Fleet, resulting in the ship being swallowed by a kugelblitz generated from the conflict between Light and Darkness. | |||
The Black Fleet subsequently withdrew after the Witness was tricked by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] into calling off the attack, with Savathûn having killed the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] [[Nezarec]] and hidden the [[the Veil|Veil]], a mysterious paracausal entity evidently key to the Witness' plans, away on Neptune. After the battle was over, the Traveler remained floating a relatively short distance above the Earth's surface, seemingly dormant, having apparently been stripped of its senses and "flesh" and made blind, deaf and mute to the outside world. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Traveler_3|Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 3]]''</ref> | |||
As humanity struggled to rebuild itself from these events, the crippled Traveler gifted its protection and powers to the recovering humans. Although the times after the war were difficult, humanity persevered and with the help of this celestial guardian, and the humans eventually began to re-explore their terrestrial and solar domain.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 52''</ref> | |||
