===Red War===
When the [[Red Legion]] arrived in Sol, breaking the Cabal-Vex stalemate in Meridian Bay was one of its priorities. The Vex lost multiple gates, including the Black Garden gate, and the whole of Meridian Bay fell under total Red Legion control<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[Ghost Scans]]: NE-CST-4''</ref>.
When the [[Red Legion]] arrived in Sol, breaking the Cabal-Vex stalemate in Meridian Bay was one of its priorities. The Vex are hard-pressed and have lost multiple gates, including the Black Garden gate. The whole of Meridian Bay is now under total Red Legion control.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[Ghost Scans]]: NE-CST-4''</ref>


With the awakening of the Traveler at the end of the [[Red War]], the ice caps on Mars began to thaw, extending to the iced-over Hellas Basin. This also thawed and reawakened Xol and the Grasp of Nokris, prompting Rasputin's newly-awakened core intelligence to deorbit [[Warsat]]s as a defensive measure, inadvertently attracting a defeated Red Legion looking to scavenge technology to strike back at the [[Guardian]]s who had denied their victory.

===Arrival of the Pyramids===
===Arrival of the Pyramids===
Two years later, a [[The Martian Pyramid|Pyramid]] arrived on Mars, a month after one of its [[The Ionian Pyramid|counterparts]] had previously arrived on [[Io]]. Around this time, a signal came from a device in the Bray Futurescape facility. Upon investigating, the Guardians found a journal belonging to [[Helsom]], a Golden Age xenoarchaeologist who believed in possible contact with extrasolar species and humanity<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkZJ2i2agAQ Matt Helsom Mission]</ref>.
Two years later, a [[The Martian Pyramid|Pyramid]] would arrive on Mars, mirroring one of its [[The Ionian Pyramid|counterparts]] which arrived on [[Io]] a month earlier.

Several months after the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]], [[Mars]], [[Io]], [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], and [[Mercury]] mysteriously disappeared, having been moved to a different plane of reality by the Witness using the Darkness. Mars' moons [[Phobos]] and [[Deimos]] were left untouched, however, and continued to orbit the void where Mars used to be.
Several months after the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]], they caused the planet along with [[Io]], [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], and [[Mercury]] to mysteriously disappear, just as the Traveler healed itself. Mars' two moons [[Phobos]] and [[Deimos]], however, survived and orbit the maw of the void planet.


Shortly afterward, [[Emperor Calus]] attempted to commune with the Witness, experimenting with [[Scorn]] and the [[Crown of Sorrow]] aboard [[Glykon Volatus|a carrier]] to establish a link with the entity. He was ultimately [[Locus of Communion|successful]], after which Calus piloted the Leviathan into the void formerly occupied by Mars.
Shortly after the disappearances, [[Emperor Calus]] attempted to speak to the [[The Witness|unknown entity]] behind the gravitational anomaly of Darkness left where Mars used to be. He experimented with [[Scorn]] and the [[Crown of Sorrow]] aboard [[Glykon Volatus|a carrier]] to ultimately [[Locus of Communion|succeed]], with Calus disappearing afterwards.


===Return from Darkness===
===Return from Darkness===
Over a year after its disappearance, Mars returned to the Sol System, covered with what appeared to be temporal rifts showing the planet as it was during the [[Golden Age]]. Baffled by Mars' return, [[Ikora Rey]] and her [[Hidden]] set up [[The Enclave|an outpost]] in [[Agrisector 24-A, Freehold]] to investigate the [[Relic]], a mysterious structure left behind by the [[Black Fleet]].
Over a year after its disappearance, Mars would be returned with temporal rifts to [[Golden Age]] Mars. Baffled by Mars' return, [[Ikora Rey]] along with her [[Hidden]] set up [[The Enclave]] in [[Agrisector 24-A, Freehold]] due to the appearance of the [[Relic]], a mysterious structure left behind by the [[Black Fleet]].


Not long after their investigation into the Relic, the [[Cabal]] of [[Caiatl]]'s [[Imperial Cabal]] of the Cabal Ascendancy began constructing outposts and cannons around the [[Martian Cradle]], wishing to retake Mars as Cabal territory. Although Ikora Rey and [[Eris Morn]] were concerned, they realised that the Cabal were not aiming at them, but instead aiming at [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]'s ship, [[The Lure]]. [[The Guardian]] would then arrive at the scene and would be instructed by Ikora and Eris to investigate further since they are pinned down. The Guardian was then engaged by Cabal forces and boarded Savathûn's ship by shooting themselves out of a nearby Cabal cannon.
