Rising from the ruins of Venus, it is speculated that the Citadel had been latent; seeded within the planet's crust long before the age of [[humanity]]. Waiting for a period of geological quiescence, so it could grow.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost_Fragment:Vex_4|GF: Vex 4]]''</ref> During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Ishtar Collective]] sent proxies to explore the Vex gate network.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost_Fragment:Vex_4|GF: Vex 4]]''</ref> According to some, the stone used in its construction is eons old, yet it contains technology vastly surpassing humanity's own.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>
The purpose of the Citadel is unknown. Like most Vex structures, it is made of enormous rectangular stone blocks interwoven with machinery; according to some, the stone used in its construction is eons old, yet it contains technology vastly surpassing humanity's own.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>
 
==History==
It is speculated that the Citadel was seeded within the Venus' crust long before the age of [[humanity]], perhaps waiting for a period of geological quiescence before it began to grow.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost_Fragment:Vex_4|GF: Vex 4]]''</ref>  
 
During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Ishtar Collective]] sent proxies to explore the Vex gate network.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Ghost_Fragment:Vex_4|GF: Vex 4]]''</ref>  
 
===City Age===
During the Wolf Uprising, [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] led the remnants of the [[House of Wolves]] in a final stand atop the Citadel, where he attempted to use the Vex gate network to pull the entirety of the House of Wolves through time to the present. He was ultimately defeated by the [[Guardians]].
