The Fallen House of Time is a | The Fallen House of Time is a unique House within the solar system. Like the other Houses, it has not forgotten its glorious past; unlike the rest, it still holds true to the ancient customs, making it one of the least dangerous threats to the City. During the Taken War they began extending offers of safety and refuge to the other Houses, pledging them a home if they swore an oath of loyalty to Time's Kell. By the time of the SIVA Crisis the Wolves and Winter had fully emigrated to the Jovians, taking advantage of the confusion caused to the City to slip away and abandoning their strongholds, and as the Age of Triumph appeared so too did even the broken Devils and weakened Kings. | ||
When the Red Legion first invaded the solar system House Time met and broke their first vanguard before retreating. Throughout the later Red War, Time continued to harass Red Legionaries and ships, preventing them from overrunning other worlds such as Jupiter and Saturn's satellites; and when the Emperor Calus appeared they monitored his ship, noting the friendliness he displayed toward Guardians, but did not make contact. | |||

Far more worrying is that Variks had been observed talking to Time's emissaries by both Ghosts and Awoken Guardians. From what Petra and certain Guardian champions know, Variks has been on the search for the Kell of Kells since Skolas' mad grab for power. While he was still loyal to the long vanished Queen, if there was any chance this House could be the one, that this Eponymous Archon could withstand House Judgement's demands, Variks would desert her and join them in an instant. His defection would be disastrous, for he knew too much about the Awoken, and the Guardians from watching them fight in the Prison of Elders. | Far more worrying is that Variks had been observed talking to Time's emissaries by both Ghosts and Awoken Guardians.

This proved to be a boon to their efforts for they could now turn anything they wanted into useful tools and equipment. | ||
During this time both Winter and the Wolves, as well as a smaller House called Oceans from Mars, had completely abandoned their homes to emigrate to Time. Their remaining Barons and Archons swore loyalty to Time's Eponymous Archon and their colors were incorporated into Time's banners. | During this time both Winter and the Wolves, as well as a smaller House called Oceans from Mars, had completely abandoned their homes to emigrate to Time.

When Oryx attacked and started Taking enemy forces ''en mass'' Time chose to stay out of sight, preferring to wait. As Guardians began pushing back the Taken King, however, Time started abducting Taken one at a time.

For the Cabal and Hive, they were little more than mindless animals when converted but displayed loyalty toward them, much as domesticated animals would. Vex were the hardest, for a personality that was once part of a monolithic hive mind now severed to serve evil, reconverting was deemed to be an impossible task until SIVA was recovered from some captured Splicer Devils. With SIVA they discovered they could reprogram the "Taken" Vex away from mindless worship into some measure of independent thought, but without the hive mind. Time solved this by linking them to their Servitor network, utilizing their abilities in service to both Angels and Demons | For the Cabal and Hive, they were little more than mindless animals when converted but displayed loyalty toward them, much as domesticated animals would.

During this time they started making note of a [[Forum:Viruses|rising Taken force]] on Saturn and started marshalling their forces to contain it. Utilizing the Reborn they fought against the Viruses long and hard. This conflict, known as the Time Virus Skirmish, lasted throughout the entirety of the main campaign of ''Destiny 2''. Many were lost but ultimately House Time managed to contain the Taken to Saturn. Unfortunately, with Dominus Ghaul's defeat, the newly deployed [[Forum:Stone Breakers|Stone Breakers]] appeared in the system to finish what the Legion had started. The Guardians, newly revitalized, were able to cut off the Stone Breakers' head, but only enraged them further. | During this time they started making note of a [[Forum:Viruses|rising Taken force]] on Saturn and started marshalling their forces to contain it.

House Time's hierarchy varies drastically from other Fallen Houses. Instead of having their own files and ranks, each Fallen troop is classed into one of three combat groups: Skirmishers, Reconnaissance, and Champions. Skirmishers are fast, agile opponents armed with efficient close range weaponry, although they must sacrifice durability to do so, and are the first enemies Guardians will typically encounter when engaging House Time's crews. Reconnaissance troops are versatile opponents that can cover a wide range of tasks, and are more tactically intelligent and better equipped than their lower-ranking Skirmisher counterparts. Champions are large, heavily armored foes armed with specialist heavy weaponry, making them a force to be reckoned with, and are typically deployed as crew leaders in battle. | House Time's hierarchy varies drastically from other Fallen Houses.

*'''Slasher''': A [[Dreg]] armed with a Shock Machete.

*'''Stalker''': A Marauder that can teleport via smoke vanish and is armed with a Scorch Rifle.

*'''Fumigator''': A giant Captain equipped with a ballistic shield and armed with a one-handed Nox Cannon. They release high-explosive toxic grenades at a rapid rate, creating large poison clouds in their wake. At close range, they can fire a cone of noxious gas before performing a shield bash that will knock Guardians down and send them flying in the opposite direction. They teleport around their targets as a means of flanking them, and are also equipped with [[Arc]] energy shields on top of their physical shields, boasting the highest defense levels of any known Fallen.
