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. It taught humanity new powers and mystical technologies that led to this age.<ref name = "Journey"/> Now that most of the system could support human life, and armed with the incredible new technology to reach beyond Earth, colonization of these worlds began.<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> Many corporations and research groups existed during the Golden Age, such as [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] or the [[Ishtar Collective]].<ref>[http://au.ign.com/articles/2013/10/05/pubcast-happy-hour-3-bungie-studios-special '''IGN''': ''Pubcast Happy Hour 3: Bungie Studios Special'']</ref> The [[Exo]]s were created during the period,<ref name = "GI">'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 53''</ref> and the [[Ahamkara]] appeared.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 3, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Ghost Fragment: Warlock|Ghost Fragment: Warlock]]''</ref> | ||
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> | Despite the advancement brought on by the Golden Age, many aspects of technology and construction lagged behind greatly, especially on [[Earth]].

Most of the new discoveries humanity made were geared towards the colonization of the system and other vital technologies such as AI or medicine.
