When the [[Guardian]]s [[Kabr, the Legionless]], [[Pahanin]], and [[Praedyth]] ventured into the [[Vault of Glass]] on Venus, a major confluence of the Vex network, they were thwarted by the [[Templar]] and its [[Gorgons]]. Pahanin managed to escape, but Kabr perished and Praedyth was trapped and lost in time.

When the [[Guardian]]s [[Kabr, the Legionless]], [[Pahanin]], and [[Praedyth]] ventured into the [[Vault of Glass]] on Venus, a major confluence of the Vex network, they were thwarted by the [[Templar]] and its [[Gorgons]]. Pahanin managed to escape, but Kabr perished and Praedyth was trapped and lost in time. The Guardians, seeking to further break the Vex's power in the wake of the Black Garden Heart's destruction and avenge Kabr's team, formed a new raid team to breach the Vault of Glass. After a dangerous struggle, the Guardians manage to breach the Templar's indestructible shield and destroy the Mind. Further, the Guardians evade the Gorgon's abilities and bypass their labyrinth, proceeding to the core of the Vault. At the center of the Vault, the Guardians face off against Atheon, the Vault's overseer. Battling the powerful Axis Mind across the time-ways, the Guardians succeed in destroying Atheon, dealing a critical blow to the Vex.
