Though much of Mercury is dominated by the Vex, others have managed to visit the planet, including the [[Cult of Osiris]] who maintains a camp there in the form of the [[Lighthouse]].

==Activities==
In Destiny 1 only a handful of activities are available, namely two [[Crucible]] maps that players engage in. Players can either engage each other on one of the 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 known as Shining Sands.
 
In [[Curse of Osiris]], Mercury becomes a full destination with multiple activities available. The [[Infinite Forest]] is the main location for exploration on Mercury.
