Mercury is not an explorable world, but is visited through the [[Crucible]]. Players can either engage each other on the one of the ~~various~~ battlefields there or meet the criteria to gain entry to the Lighthouse through the [[Trials of Osiris]]. Occasionally the [[Sparrow Racing League]] holds races here within an active Vex structure.
