They were surprised by Nessus actually being where it is as it shouldn't be there. The ship's crash was due to the result of the Orbiting Centaur's added six dimensions to its four dimensional space. They were all lost in their sense of time; past and future went hand and hand for them.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/exodus-down?highlight=dimensions Exodus Down]</ref> All of its colonists and crew were subsequently either captured and experimented on (such as stealing the memories of the captain) or killed by the [[Vex]]. Unable to contact help, the ship's AI, [[Failsafe]], became dormant until she was awoken by the arrival of [[Cayde-6]]. | ||

Approximately 126 years before the [[SIVA Crisis]], Nessus re-entered the [[Sol System]] after an unexpected delay.<ref name="GF:Cayde-6">'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Cayde-6|Ghost Fragment: Cayde-6]]''</ref> The [[Arcadian Valley]] patrol space is scattered with the remains of the Exodus Black, picked clean by Fallen scavengers.

The Axis Minds of Nessus are noted to have higher than average computational power. One such mind imprisoned [[Failsafe]] for attempting to access the Vex Network. [[Sagira]] sought out another such Mind in order to analyze a map of the [[Infinite Forest]]. | The Axis Minds of Nessus are noted to have higher than average computational power.

Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored. During this mobilization they came into conflict with the local [[Vex]] population<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[The Inverted Spire]]''</ref> as well as the [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]] which was scavenging whatever they could from the remnants of the ''[[Exodus Black]]''.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[The Inverted Spire]]''</ref> | Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored.

Doing so caused Argos to be sucked into the Leviathan's vacuum alongside a squadron of Vex, forcing [[Calus]] to call upon the [[Guardian]]s to be rid of the Vex Mind for good. Succeeding in destroying the Axis Mind, the conversion of the planetoid has been permanently halted but the Leviathan continued to slowly consume Nessus into Royal Wine. | ||

When the [[Kell's Scourge]] began using the [[Lost Forge]]s, they were intercepted smuggling [[Black Armory]] tech from the planet. Following their trail led the Guardians to the [[Gofannon Forge]] in the ruins of the Exodus Black. The Guardians reclaimed the Forge from the Scourge's hands, and kept defending it from their attempts to reclaim it. Following a set of Vex coordinates brought the Guardians to the [[Izanami Forge]], that was being integrated into the Vex structure. The Guardians reclaimed this Forge as well, and defended it from the encroaching Vex. | |||
When the [[Black Fleet]] arrived, Nessus was one of the few worlds in the outer system that was left untouched by the Pyramids. However, sometime after their departure, Calus and the Leviathan mysteriously disappeared from Nessus's orbit, leaving the Machine World only partially consumed. | When the [[Black Fleet]] arrived, Nessus was one of the few worlds in the outer system that was left untouched by the Pyramids.

Sometime | Sometime afterward, Calus's daughter and current leader of the Cabal Empire, [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]], arrived in the Sol System with her legions. Nessus was the first world to be invaded, with an [[Imperial Land Tank]] being deployed in the Arcadian Valley. It was here where her forces and the Guardians first clashed against one another in a bid for dominance over the system. | ||
Over the ages, many Fallen Pirate Crews hid their treasures on the planet. These would be [[Expedition|sought after]] by [[The Guardian]] as they fought against the crews that sided with [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] in her search for artifacts of [[Darkness]]. This closeness also made [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] realize that the Vex sought to punish him for his intrusion into their [[Vex Network|Network]] during the [[Endless Night]], and made him decide to avoid the planet in the future. | |||
