The City is inhabited by humans, [[Awoken]] and [[Exo]]s, who worked together in the time following the Golden Age to build the city and its defenses.<ref name="city"/> The City was once embroiled by a bitter war between the different [[faction]]s of the City, until the Guardians stepped in and put a stop to the violence. Now, it is ruled by a [[Consensus]] of the factions, with the [[Speaker]] as its head and the [[Vanguard]] taking on an advisory role.<ref name="GF">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Factions|Factions]]''</ref> After Dominus Ghaul's attack, the government was abolished under a state of emergency, now headed by the [[Red Legion]].

Besides the Faction Wars, the City had been embroiled in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Six Fronts]], when four orders of Titans had to defend the walls against six enemy approaches. The second and far more devastating one, was the [[Battle of Twilight Gap]]. The full might of the [[Fallen]] Houses descended upon the City as countless Guardians fell, but were eventually routed from the City.{{citation needed}}
