During the Red War, Io became a warzone for [[Guardian]], [[Red Legion]], [[Vex]] and [[Taken]] forces. When the Red Legion arrived in the [[Sol System]] they set up at Terrabase Charon, on [[Echo Mesa]] and were met with resistance from the Vex and Taken forces there. Io was the final place that the [[Traveler]] influenced with [[Light]] in the Sol System, and as such is sacred ground to [[Warlocks]]. During the conflict, [[The Guardian]] travels to Io on [[Zavala]]'s orders to find Ikora. After locating the Warlock Vanguard leader, Ikora sends the Guardian on several missions into a Cabal research base, ultimately revealing the Red Legion's plans for the Traveler and the Light. The Cabal were mining out the remaining Light energy from the Traveler, which attracted the forces of the Taken and forced the Cabal to evacuate. During the Guardian's time on Io, they also meet [[Asher Mir]], an [[Awoken]] scientist fixated on the Vex, along with their activities on the planet. | During the Red War, Io became a warzone for [[Guardian]], [[Red Legion]], [[Vex]] and [[Taken]] forces.

A Vex structure known as the Pyramidion is found there, which was fought over by the Taken in another attempt to infect the Vex network like [[Oryx]] had with the [[Vault of Glass]]. The Pyramidion is described by Asher Mir and Ikora as a "conversion engine", responsible for converting Io into a Vex [[Machine World]] and is believed to be one of many entry points into Vex space, where one of their Axis Minds performed experiments on captured Guardians. The Pyramidion is only accessible during the [[Curse of Osiris]] story mission, [[Deep Storage]] and in the strike, [[The Pyramidion]]. | A Vex structure known as the Pyramidion is found there, which was fought over by the Taken in another attempt to infect the Vex network like [[Oryx]] had with the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]].

A hidden [[Warmind]] vault, JYS-2, was buried beneath Io's surface and inadvertently uncovered by one of the Cabal's drills. An unidentified active AI - implied through various details to be [[Rasputin]] - was still using the facility. Instead, it communicated via pre-Golden Age music and philosophical quotations, which proved to intrigue the [[Vex]]. This can be observed in the [[Adventure]] [[Arecibo]]. | A hidden [[Warmind]] vault, JYS-2, was buried beneath Io's surface and inadvertently uncovered by one of the Cabal's drills.
