Golden Age: Difference between revisions

The Golden Age was sparked by the arrival of the [[Traveler]] during the late 21st Century<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-anyway.aspx?PostPageIndex=2" '''Gameinformer''': What’s Going On In Destiny’s Story, Anyway?]</ref>. When it arrived in the Solar System and began terraforming the different planets, humanity reached out to the Traveler on Mars and made first contact.

Despite the advancement brought on by the Golden Age, many aspects of technology and construction lagged behind greatly, especially on [[Earth]]. Pre-Golden Age architecture remained standing well through the Golden Age in what is now the [[European Dead Zone]], and many motor vehicle designs failed to change very much from before the Golden Age as well.<ref name="Russia 3">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Ghost_Fragment:_Old_Russia_3|Ghost Fragment: Old Russia 3]]''</ref> [[Weapon]]s technology also lagged behind, most likely due to the peace afforded by the era. While advanced weapons were developed by the likes of Clovis Bray and the [[Black Armory]], conventional militaries were left with weapons like the [[Khvostov 7G-02]], whose basic design resembles a weapon originally developed in the mid 20th Century.
