{{Quote|[[ | {{Quote|For so long, we saw [[Darkness|Dark]] and [[Light]] as antagonists. We believed we were the champions of the good because we wielded the Light. If these are not moral forces, if they are not opposites... what are they? At its root, the Traveler is a terraformer... a—a gardener. It generates natural life, physical transformation at a molecular scale across whole planets. This should have been our first hint. The domain of the Light is the domain of the physical. The Darkness... then is revealed in many facets. Dreams and nightmares. Emotions. Pain. Memory. The nature of Strand confirms this line of thinking. Darkness is something entirely apart from Light.|Osiris}} | ||
The '''Invasion of Neptune''', also known as the '''Siege of Neomuna''' was a massive conflict that unfolded on [[Neomuna]] after the [[The Witness|Witness's]] attack on the [[Traveler]]. After communing with it and discovering the location of [[the Veil]], a [[paracausal]] object related to the Traveler, the Witness ordered [[Calus]], its newest disciple, and his [[Shadow Legion|forces]] to invade [[Neptune]] and secure the Veil. This prompts [[Osiris]] to stow away on one of the Shadow Legion’s [[Astaroth Rex II|carriers]] in order to stop the invasion. [[The Guardian]] follows him on orders from [[Ikora Rey]], and after sabotaging their carriers, The Guardian and Osiris make their way to Neomuna via [[Drop Pod]]s. From there, they would befriend and ally the [[Cloud | The '''Invasion of Neptune''', also known as the '''Siege of Neomuna''' was a massive conflict that unfolded on [[Neomuna]] after the [[The Witness|Witness's]] attack on the [[Traveler]].

After the defeat of Calus, the conflict would spill over into the flagship of the Witness, [[Essence]], as a team of 6 [[Guardians]] would confront [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain]] and permanently put an end to both him and his haunting of the [[CloudArk]]. | After the defeat of Calus, the conflict would spill over into the flagship of the Witness, [[Essence]], as a team of 6 [[Guardians]] would confront [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain]] and permanently put an end to both him and his haunting of the [[CloudArk]]. | ||

The sector was quickly overrun by Vex and [[Cabal]] alike and the [[Cloud Strider]]s on duty, [[Rohan]] and [[Nimbus]], retreated to [[Strider's Gate]]. The Cabal were followed shortly by The Guardian and Osiris, the former landing in [[Ahimsa Park]] and the latter landing in [[Strider's Gate]]. The Guardian would cut their way though the Cabal forces to Strider's Gate where they would encounter [[Strand]] for the very first time. The Guardian would use this new found power to destroy the Cabal that would land in Strider's Gate but would not be able to reach Osiris before they were exhausted. | ||

The Cloud Striders would then spend the next few hours destroying some of The Witness's forces before regrouping at Strider's Gate. After discussion with Osiris and allowing him to stay within the [[Hall of Heroes]], the Cloud Striders would agree to help The Guardian reach The Veil. The Guardian would fight their way through [[Zephyr Concourse]] and into the [[Esi Terminal]] where they would encounter more Shadow Legion forces, this time with [[Light]] suppressing technology. The Guardian would defeat a Shadow Legion commander [[Vul'ourn, Shadow Legion Supply Master]] despite this only to realize that the area surrounding The Veil was firmly within Shadow Legion hands. The Guardian's [[Ghost]] would then transmit a conversation between The Witness and Emperor Calus, with The Witness ordering their disciple to destroy The Veil using the [[Radial Mast]] which was located deep within the Typhon Imperator. The Guardian would retreat from the area and regroup with their allies to discuss further plans. | ||
Some time during these events, the Vex, lead by [[Parthenios, Drifting Mind]], managed to take control of the CloudArk's power supply, inhibiting the Neomuni's ability to effectively defend their homeland. | Some time during these events, the Vex, lead by [[Parthenios, Drifting Mind]], managed to take control of the CloudArk's power supply, inhibiting the Neomuni's ability to effectively defend their homeland. | ||

One week after the communion between The Witness and The Veil, [[Asher Mir]] attempted to make contact with The Guardian and [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]]. The combined group attempted numerous times to extract the Vex data on The Final Shape and The Veil over several weeks. Culminating their attempts, Asher managed to extract this data with a full simulation of The Veil though this effort would cause him to be fully integrated into the Vex network which essentially ended his life and existence as an individual. | One week after the communion between The Witness and The Veil, [[Asher Mir]] attempted to make contact with The Guardian and [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]].

A fireteam of six Guardians went there, clashing with Shadow Legion forces onboard. Throughout the skirmish, they used powers of light and dark to accelerate Nezarec's resurrection. Despite his combined powers, he was defeated. In spite of his defeat, he reminded the Guardians that he would always be present in their memories and nightmares, an inescapable impression upon the universe. | ||
