Mercury is a planet in the Solar System. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and was inhabited by humanity during the Golden Age, in which it was transformed into a garden world. During the Collapse, the Vex transformed Mercury into a machine planet within days of their arrival. The Sun, as seen on the surface, appears to be massive yet not blindingly bright; this is likely a result of Vex influence.

Though the world is dominated by the Vex, others have managed to visit Mercury. The Cult of Osiris maintains a camp on Mercury at the Lighthouse. Flawless champions of the Trials of Osiris may visit here. The Cabal built an outpost at Vertigo, but have disappeared.
