Centuries after the collapse, a stray [[Ghost]] wandering the ruins outside the [[Cosmodrome]], searching for a Guardian, finally finds one among the ancient remains, and revives them. Ghost leads the Guardian out of the Cosmodrome and back to [[The Last City]] after finding a [[ship]], and introduces them to the people of the [[Tower]]. The Guardian returns to the Cosmodrome to explore; after slaying an [[Archon]] of the [[House of Devils]], the Guardian gains an audience with the [[Speaker]], who confides in them that the Darkness is returning, and that the Guardian must help protect the City any way they can.

The Guardian makes two important discoveries while in the Cosmodrome; the first is that the [[Hive]], who had slain countless Guardians after they were beaten back to the [[Moon]], have returned to [[Earth]] to prepare for an invasion. The second is that [[Rasputin]], one of the legendary [[warmind]]s, has survived the [[collapse]], and has restored contact with the rest of the [[solar system]]. The player travels to the Moon to investigate the Hive threat; they receive an urgent message that the Hive are attempting to drain the [[Traveler]] of its [[light]], and that they must be stopped at all costs. However, they also run into a mysterious [[Exo Stranger|stranger]], who tells them to meet her on [[Venus]] to stop another rising threat.

After stopping the Hive ritual, the Guardian travels to Venus and discovers the [[Vex]], a machine race bent on dominating reality itself. The Stranger tells the Guardian that the only way to stop the Vex and save the Traveler is to enter the [[Black Garden]] and destroy its [[Black Heart|heart]]. The Guardian seeks counsel with the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]]; the [[Queen]] tells them that the only way into the Garden is to retrieve the eye of a Vex [[Zydron, Gate Lord|Gate Lord]]. They assume it to be a suicide mission, but the Guardian returns with the eye. The Queen tells the Guardian that they now owe her a favor in return for her information.

The entrance to the Black Garden, located on [[Mars]], lies behind thick [[Cabal]] defenses. After successfully restoring the Gate Lord's eye using dormant Vex technology, the Guardian enters the Black Garden, a strange Vex realm outside of normal spacetime. At its center is the Black Heart, an abomination whom the Vex worship and seek to use to bend reality to their will. The Guardian kills its protectors, the [[Sol Progeny]], destroying the Heart and freeing the Black Garden from Vex control. Light begins returning to the Traveler. But to finish off the Vex threat, the Guardian must enter the [[Vault of Glass]], the source of the Vex's reality-altering powers, and kill its leader, [[Atheon]].
