Guided by messages from the [[Anomaly (artifact)|K1 Anomaly]], [[Clovis Bray I]] discovered an artifact or entity on Europa which he called "[[Clarity Control]]", which granted him the ability to combine its power and [[Radiolaria]] to create an ingredient vital to the [[Exo]] project that he dubbed "[[alkahest]]." In doing this, the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] was constructed to facilitate the production of alkahest, processing Vex from the blue hypergiant [[2082 Volantis]]. Following a series of mishaps involving Elisabeth Bray's objections to the project, Clovis sealed his consciousness within the Crypt for eternity. | Guided by messages from the [[Anomaly (artifact)|K1 Anomaly]], [[Clovis Bray I]] discovered an artifact or entity on Europa which he called "[[Clarity Control]]", which granted him the ability to combine its power and [[Radiolaria]] to create an ingredient vital to the [[Exo]] project that he dubbed "[[alkahest]]."

Nearly three years after the conclusion of the [[Red War]] and after the long journey of the main fleet back to the system, the Europan Pyramid re-emerged from the ice and out into the open surface, where it was quickly re-discovered. Later, [[Eris Morn]] and the [[Drifter]], who were contacted by the [[Elisabeth Bray|Exo Stranger]], were seen headed towards Europa to find the very ship. Additionally, [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] and the [[House of Salvation]] arrived on Europa, acquired stasis from the pyramid and set up a [[Riis-Reborn|city]] there. Soon, [[Phylaks, the Warrior|Phylaks]] had claimed much territory from the Vex and [[Praksis, the Technocrat|Praksis]] was experimenting on them. Fallen built structures can now be found all over Europa. | Nearly three years after the conclusion of the [[Red War]] and after the long journey of the main fleet back to the system, the Europan Pyramid re-emerged from the ice and out into the open surface, where it was quickly re-discovered.

*In late 2013, Europa was a major location planned for the [[Comet]] that would eventually become ''[[The Taken King]]''.

*In [[Rasputin]]'s [[Seraph Bunker|bunkers]] during ''[[Season of the Worthy]]'', the advance of the Pyramids is monitored on a simple star chart, using a dot matrix to represent the system's planets and moons along with the Pyramids themselves. For unknown reasons, likely related to the single Pyramid's presence, Eris and Drifter's arrival on the moon, and interference from Clovis Bray in relation to the Pyramid and Deep Stone Crypt, markings for Europa are visible on this chart but are not illuminated like the rest of the moons in the system. | *In [[Rasputin]]'s [[Seraph Bunker|bunkers]] during ''[[Season of the Worthy]]'', the advance of the Pyramids is monitored on a simple star chart, using a dot matrix to represent the system's planets and moons along with the Pyramids themselves.
