Destiny is set seven hundred years into the future in a post-apocalyptic setting. In a universe where humans had spread and colonised other solar systems in the Milky Way, an event known as "the Collapse" saw the dissolution of these colonies and left mankind on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are those living on Earth, who were saved by a white, spherical celestial body known simply as "the Traveller". The Traveller hovers above the last remaining human city, and its presence allows the "Guardians of the City"—the last defenders of the human race—the ability to wield an unknown power.
Destiny is set seven hundred years into the future{{Citation needed}} in a post-apocalyptic setting. Humans had spread and colonised the [[Wikipedia:Solar System|Solar System]], in a time later called the [[Golden Age]]. An event known as "the Collapse", an attack from an unknown faction or entity, saw the dissolution of these colonies and left mankind on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are those living on Earth, who were saved by a spherical entity known simply as "[[Traveler|the Traveler]]". The Traveler hovers above the [[Last City|last remaining human city]], and its presence allows the [[Guardians|Guardians of the City]]—the last defenders of the human race—the ability to wield an unknown power.


Upon mankind's first attempt to repopulate and reconstruct after the Collapse, it is discovered that hostile alien races have occupied mankind's former colonies and civilizations. The player takes on the role of a Guardian of the City, and is tasked with investigating and destroying these threats before humanity is completely wiped out by them.
