The '''SIVA Crisis''' is a major conflict being fought between the [[SIVA]]-infected [[Fallen]] and the [[Iron Lord]]s. The crisis was triggered when the Fallen [[Splicers]] rediscovered SIVA within the long-sealed [[Plaguelands]]. While the orthodox leadership of the Splicers saw SIVA as another technology to be worshiped, the sect loyal to the [[House of Devils]] was more ambitious: they sought to use SIVA to make themselves into gods. Imbuing themselves with SIVA's power, the Devil Splicers began subsuming the rest of their House and spreading the techno-plague. Recognizing the ancient threat his fellow [[Iron Lords]] had sealed away long ago, Lord [[Saladin Forge]] issued a call-to-arms to the Guardians in order to raise a new generation of Iron Lords.

===The Cosmodrome Breach===

As tasked by Saladin to investigate the breach in the Cosmodrome and to confirm Saladin's fears, the Guardian arrives at the wall and finds a section of it in ruins with a heavy Devils presence. Tracking Sepkis, the Guardian fights through the wall and finds a pattern outside ~~the wall~~ and with Ghost scans, discovers that a nanotechnology is consuming the building, thereby confirming Saladin's fears that SIVA has returned. Instantly Hive ships appear, apparently driven out of their holds. Fighting both Hive and Fallen to a sensor grid to restore the sensor network for Shiro-4, the Guardian encounters a new enemy of Fallen: The Devil Splicers. After defeating the new powerfully-augmented Fallen, Saladin now knows for sure that the Fallen have restarted production of SIVA for their own desires. Shiro-4 tracks to Fallen to [[Plaguelands]], an area that has been quarantined for years, but has now become the Devil Splicers territory.

To open up a new front for the war and to establish a beachhead in the Plaguelands, Saladin and Shiro-4 have the Guardian infiltrate Splicer defenses for reinforcements but find that the Splicers have repaired a gun emplacement that was destroyed during the Collapse using SIVA. Any reinforcements would be destroyed but thanks to the Guardians efforts, they destroyed the SIVA nodes powering the cannons, allowing reinforcements to arrive and Guardians to explore the quarantined zone.

===Retreat===

With the complete loss of their leadership and constant attacks from the Guardians, the Devil Splicers made a complete withdrawal from Old Russia. While making their retreat, some of the Splicers were attacked by the [[House of Kings]], frightening them. As a team of Guardians observed them, they noticed that the Devil Splicers weren't the only group of Fallen making a retreat, as the Devils, [[House of Winter]], [[House of Exile]] and [[House of Wolves]], all abandoned their hideouts.

This withdrawal led the Vanguard to believe the war with the Devil Splicers and with the Fallen as a whole to be won. That is, until the onset of the [[Red War]], where the newly emerged yet mysterious [[House of Dusk]] continue the battle with the Guardians.
