During the early [[City Age]], [[Rezyl Azzir]] became the first [[Guardian]] to reach the Moon in centuries.

As the Hive launched their [[Seeder Ship]]s across [[Earth]], a fireteam encountered the Hive at the [https://www.destinypedia.com/Grimoire:Activities/Crucible_Arenas#The_Rusted_Lands| Rusted Lands] in the Eastern Flooded Zone; only one surviving [[Hunter]] returned to warn the City of the first Hive invasion of Earth. Against overwhelming odds, the Guardians barely succeeded in repelling their offense at the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]. Not realizing the true threat the Hive posed, they planned a counterattack on the moon. Lord [[Shaxx]], a veteran of Burning Lake, opposed this, and eventually busted in on a [[Consensus]] meeting, calling the idea of a counterattack 'madness' and said that the Guardians needed to learn about the Hive's swords and find a way to defend against them.{{citation needed}} The Consensus ignored Shaxx's warnings, and the failed attack was later called the [[Great Disaster]]. The Sword-Logic proved to be too much for the Guardians, as countless heroes fell before Crota's [[Blades of Crota|Blades]], rendering the entire battle a slaughter. In particular, the legendary [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Wei Ning]], was slain personally by the God-Knight himself, forcing the Guardians a full retreat from the battle. The Vanguard and Consensus then declared the Moon off-limits, where only the most elite Guardians are allowed to venture to.
