An oasis of Golden Age technology | An oasis of Golden Age technology, Hellas Basin is home to some of the Golden Age's most advanced scientific operations. Before the discovery of a cache of Golden Age data cores in [[Freehold]], little information had survived about the region outside of it being a tourist attraction.<ref name="Narrative Preview">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46779 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny 2 Narrative Preview'']</ref> However, this cache revealed that the BrayTech Futurescape facility was in fact the site of Rasputin's creation.<ref name="Narrative Preview" /> | ||
Sometime between the departure of [[Traveler|the Traveler]] from Mars and the [[City Age]], Hellas Basin underwent a sudden and drastic change in climate, from a mild region ideal for life to a cold and unforgiving wasteland in only a few days.<ref name="Narrative">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46779 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny 2 Narrative Preview'']</ref> Shortly before the region underwent this change an invasion of [[Hive|unknown biological entities]], including one of massive size, was detected.<ref name="Narrative"/> While the cause of this massive shift is currently unknown, but is presumed to be of artificial origin.<ref name="Narrative"/> | |||
Following the warsats' impact Hive began spilling onto the surface in an attempt to destroy the Warmind's core, originally constructed there by the Clovis Bray corporation. Meanwhile, the legendary [[Hunter]] [[Ana Bray]] sought an insight into her past within the nearby BrayTech Futurescape facility.<ref name="Expansion II" /> [[The Guardian|Guardians]] were dispatched to prevent the destruction of the last Warmind, assist Ana Bray in her investigations, and destroy the leader of the Hive in the region, the Worm-God Xol.<ref name="Expansion II" /> | |||
