Darkness
From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki
The Darkness is the ancient enemy of the Traveler. Centuries ago, it swept through the Solar System, devastating human civilization in an event called the Collapse. Only due to the Traveler's intervention did humanity survive.[1]
Seven centuries later,[2] the Darkness remains a threat to humanity. The Fallen, Vex, Hive, and Cabal are linked to this force.[3]
