The '''Collapse''' was a cataclysm in [[human]] history that nearly brought the species to extinction. Following the [[Golden Age]] after mankind had colonized the [[Solar System]], the [[Darkness]] attacked humanity, presumably through the [[Black Fleet]], and pushed it back to its homeworld, [[Earth]].<ref name="ign 11272012">[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/28/destiny-story-details-concept-art-leaked '''IGN''': ''Bungie's Destiny Story Details, Concept Art Leaked'']</ref> | The '''Collapse''' was a cataclysm in [[human]] history that nearly brought the species to extinction.

Immediately before the Collapse, an entity or group of entities were detected just beyond the edge of the Solar System, in what was termed as a "TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT". The only means of determining that a transient event had even occurred was through the detection of a 0.3 second displacement of gravity waves, as well as anomalous interactions in the local Higgs field traced to sterile neutrino scattering. An AI observing the event, the Warmind Rasputin, was able to derive some information, based solely on the phenomena that it could detect, but was unable to ascertain its mechanism. Rasputin conducted an "Omnibus analysis" of the event's effects on local spacetime, measuring a wide range of data points including direction, distance, range, speed and size as well as a comprehensive pattern analysis of the event itself. This last set of data showed, to a certainty of "9 Sigma", a definite and measurable pattern which had a complex, almost linguistic, structure that demonstrated both intelligence and intent. | Immediately before the Collapse, an entity or group of entities were detected just beyond the edge of the Solar System, in what was termed as a "TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT".
