===The Endless Night=== | |||
During the [[Endless Night]], the [[Guardian]]s sought to gain access to the [[Vex Network]] over the system to find its origin. This brought them to the [[Lunar Battlegrounds]], to [[Override: The Moon|attack]] the network portal there located, and infiltrate it with the help of [[House of Light]] [[Splicers]]. The Vex responded by deploying massive amounts of units, as well as simulations of the [[Hive]], in its defense. Eventually, the [[Vanguard]] gained access to the deeper network on the satellite, and they sent [[The Guardian]] to [[Expunge: Styx|infiltrate]] it and destroy its directing [[Dikast, Oppressive Mind|Mind]]. This space would later be infested by [[Taken]], who fought alongside the Vex. Even after the defeat the mastermind, [[Quria, Blade Transform]], it took months to completly close the portal between the network and the physical world. | |||
===Operation Elbrus=== | |||
After the appearence of [[Savathûn's Throne World]], her [[Lucent Brood]] began harnessing [[Light]] from Guardians for an unknown purpose. The reason would end up being an attack on the [[Scarlet Keep]], with the intent of taking it from the [[Hidden Swarm]] and turning it into a bastion from which to quickly besiege the [[Last City]]. The [[Vanguard]] and [[Imperial Cabal]] troops would [[PsiOps Battleground: Moon|intervene]] in the battle, fighting through a Light-mutated Keep, and striking at the heart of the ritual, stopping and capturing the [[Korosek, Thronebringer|Lightbearer]] overseeing it. | |||
===Return of the Leviathan=== | |||
Soon after that, the vessel of [[Emperor Calus]], the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], reappeared in the Moon's orbit. The ship attracted many [[Nightmare]]s from the satellite, who began infesting it. Meanwhile, [[Loyalists]] landed in [[Sorrow's Harbor]], traversing the dephs of the Scarlet Keep to reach the [[Pyramid]] lying beneath, and thus transporting the consciousness of their Emperor to it, establishing a connection between the two vessels. While this plot seems to have been twarthed, the Imperial Cabal fleet and the [[H.E.L.M.]] remain in orbit, forming a blockade against the Leviathan. | |||
