| At some point, the [[Vex]] arrived on Nessus and began converting it into a [[Machine World]] with the intent to use it as a repository for defunct digital data, with the [[Vex Mind]] [[Argos, Planetary Core]] overseeing the conversion process from the planetoid's center.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Shell]]''</ref><ref name="Looped">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Looped]]''</ref>

| ===Golden Age=== | | ===Golden Age=== |
| | During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Colony ship]] ''[[Exodus Black]]'' crashed on Nessus on its way to Kepler-186. They were surprised by Nessus actually being where it is as it shouldn't be there, the ship's crash was due to the result of the Orbiting Centaur's added six dimensions to it's four dimensional. They were all lost in their sense of Time, past and future went hand and hand for them.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/exodus-down?highlight=dimensions Exodus Down]</ref> All of its colonists and crew were subsequently either captured and experimented on (such as stealing the memories of the captain) or killed by the [[Vex]]. Unable to contact help, the ship's AI, [[Failsafe]], became dormant until she was awoken by the arrival of [[Cayde-6]]. |

|
| During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Colony ship]] ''[[Exodus Black]]'' crash-landed on Nessus en route to [[Kepler-186]]. This came as a surprise to the ship's crew, as Nessus was not projected to be near their flight path; the ship's AI [[Failsafe]] suggested that the ship's crash may have been due to its orbital momentum (referred to as a four-vector, for the dimensions of space and time) being folded away into six extra dimensions, presumably by the Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - Item Description: [[Exodus Down#Lore|Exodus Downwn]]''</ref>
| | ===City Age=== |
| | | Approximately 126 years before the [[SIVA Crisis]], Nessus re-entered the [[Solar System]] after an unexpected delay. The [[Arcadian Valley]] patrol space is scattered with the remains of the Exodus Black, picked clean by Fallen scavengers. <ref name="GF:Cayde-6">'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Cayde-6|Ghost Fragment: Cayde-6]]''</ref> At some point, the [[Vex]], overseen by the [[Axis Mind]] [[Argos, Planetary Core]], fully converted Nessus into a [[Machine World]]. |
| As the crew of the ''Exodus Black'' tried and failed to contact help, they and the ship's complement of colonists were either killed or captured and experimented on by the Vex, with the minds of the ship's captain and possibly other crew or passengers being uploaded into the Vex Network.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Exodus Black (Quest)|Exodus Black]]''</ref> Unable to establish contact with the rest of the Solar System, [[Failsafe]] powered down and became inactive.

| Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored, setting up drilling platforms<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[The Inverted Spire]]''</ref>, shipyards<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore:Captain's Log|Captain's Log]]: [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 2 - Lust and Reappropriation Pt.

During this time, they came into conflict with the local [[Vex]] as well as the [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]], who were scavenging whatever they could from the remnants of the ''[[Exodus Black]]''.<ref name="EC">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Exodus Crash]]''</ref> | | Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored.

| | Following the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]], [[Calus]]' flagship, [[The Leviathan]], arrived at the Solar System and began to consume sections of the planetoid. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Leviathan (raid)]]''</ref>. Doing so caused Argos to be sucked into the Leviathan's vacuum alongside a squadron of Vex, forcing [[Calus]] to call upon the [[Guardians]] to be rid of the Vex Mind for good. Succeeding in destroying the Axis Mind, the conversion of the planetoid has been permanently halted but the Leviathan continues to slowly consume Nessus into Royal Wine. |
| | |
| Following the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]], the exiled Cabal Emperor [[Emperor Calus|Calus]] arrived in the Sol System aboard his flagship, the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], which began to consume the planetoid and process its soil into [[Royal Wine]]. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Leviathan (raid)]]''</ref> This caused [[Argos, Planetary Core]] to be sucked into the Leviathan's interior along with a squadron of Vex, forcing Calus to call upon the [[Guardian]]s to destroy the Vex Mind. With the destruction of Argos, the Vex's conversion of the planetoid was halted.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds]]''</ref> | |
| | |
| The Guardian would also continue to work with Failsafe on numerous missions, including stopping several Vex experiments and stealing data from them, as well as preventing the Fallen from attacking her wreckage.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Exodus Siege]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Release]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Hack the Planet]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Deep Conversation]]''</ref>

| | |
| When working with [[Sagira]] to save [[Osiris]] from the [[Infinite Forest]], the Guardian tracked down an [[Entangled Mind]] on Nessus to use its eye to find his location.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Hijacked]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| When the [[Kell's Scourge]] began seeking out the [[Lost Forge]]s of the [[Black Armory]], they were intercepted smuggling Armory tech from the planet, leading the Guardians to the [[Gofannon Forge]] in the ruins of the Exodus Black. The Guardians reclaimed the Forge and repelled the Scourge's attempts to reclaim it.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Another Lost Forge]]''</ref> Following a set of Vex coordinates subsequently led the Guardians to the [[Izanami Forge]], which was being integrated into the surrounding Vex structures. The Guardians reclaimed this Forge as well and defended it from the encroaching Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Rekindle the Flames]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| When the [[Black Fleet]] arrived, Nessus was one of the few worlds in the outer Solar System that was left untouched by the Pyramids. However, sometime after the Fleet's arrival, Calus and the Leviathan departed Nessus's orbit, leaving the Machine World only partially consumed.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Vanguard Transmissions|Forth Vanguard Transmission]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Some time afterwards, Calus's daughter and current leader of the Cabal Empire, [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]], arrived in the Sol System with her legions. Nessus was the first world to be invaded, with an [[Imperial Land Tank]] being deployed in the Arcadian Valley. It was here where her forces and the Guardians first clashed against one another in a bid for dominance over the system.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battleground: Behemoth]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Over the ages, many Fallen Pirate Crews hid their treasures on Nessus;{{Citation needed}} these would be [[Expedition|sought after]] by [[The Guardian]] as they fought against the crews that sided with [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] in her search for the relics of [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]. This closeness also made [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] realize that the Vex sought to punish him for his intrusion into their [[Vex Network|Network]] during the [[Endless Night]], and made him decide to avoid the planet in the future.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Expedition: Nessus]]''</ref>

| ===Upheaval===
| |
| After the [[The Coalition|Coalition]] defeated the [[The Witness|Witness]] within the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]], paracausal artifacts called [[Echo (object)|Echoes]] were created from a collision of Light and Darkness. One, the Echo of Command, would land on the planetoid, and be claimed by [[Maya Sundaresh]]<ref>'''Bungie (2024/7/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] — [https://youtu.be/m_SOh3yFZuY?si=3JQ1PatANAWYZbAn Destiny 2: Echoes | The Echoes Cinematic]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Lore:Polyphony|Polyphony]]: [[Lore:Polyphony#VII. Mind-Body|VII. Mind-Body]]''</ref> who would use its power to [[Nessian Schism|compel]] the Nessus Vex and pull [[Precursors]] out of time to serve her under the moniker of '''The Conductor'''.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Battleground: Delve]] [https://youtu.be/ddF7sisVmmw?si=tSLrHL-T8Qnaj3Xf | Ikora Rey: "The Vex wearing the yoke of command are under Maya's control, but the precursor Vex are part of her Collective."]''</ref> As a result of this, the Vex under her control began to develop independent thought and Nessus itself would begin to undergo a transformation brought about by the Echo's presence.
| |
| | |
| Ikora would task the Guardian with investigating the mysterious disturbance on the planetoid with [[Osiris]], [[Saint-14]], and Failsafe running tactical. While tracking down the Echo's impact site into the Chamber of Sky, they fight though Vex with silica structures around their necks.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Meteoric]]''</ref> After fighting through the new collective and uploading Failsafe into the [[H.E.L.M.]] mainframe, they continue their investigations by collecting [[Radiolite]] samples and uncovering an entrance to the [[Vex Network]] within the Well of Echoes.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Breach Executable]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Enigma Protocol]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| As they continue their investigations, they discover that the Echoes arms race has begun when the Eliksni from the [[House of Salvation]] were able to enter Failsafe's mainframe within the Exodus Black, led by [[Pykis, House Salvation]], and the Eliksni of the House of Dusk, led by [[Kalliks, Baron of House Dusk]], allied themselves with the [[Shadow Legion]].<ref name="EC"/><ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Breach Executable]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQwUHTz4iBs | Osiris: "Hmm, a peculiar alliance. One we will crush here.]''</ref> They are forced to conclude their investigations when Saint falls under the possession of the Conductor. They follow his last known coordinates into the Well of Flame. They were able to find him, but he began to question whether he was the real Saint. Realizing the danger of Saint's situation, they shift their attention to unraveling the Conductor’s motives.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Mesmerize]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| They begin to hunt down the answers by delving deeper into Nessus, beneath the Well of Flame. After defeating the new Baron of the House of Dusk and [[Hypolydron, Captive Mind]], they would begin to learn that the radiolaria is diverted and transported deep underground to fuel the Conductor's ambitions of locating the real version of [[Chioma Esi]]. They would uncover a Vex city upon defeating [[Kamarian, Radial Overseer]] and enhancing Failsafe's mainframe within the H.E.L.M. The Vex city is found on Nessus's [[Planetary Core]], where long ago, the Vex began to turn the planetoid into a Machine World and now serve as the Conductor's domain.
| |
| | |
| They eventually meet the Conductor after defeating [[Antioptes, Hypogean Sentinel]] and recovering the memories of Saint-14 from the archived simulation of the [[Infinite Forest]]. The Conductor reveals herself as Maya Sundaresh, who is planning to use the radiolaria to enact a second Golden Age, but they narrowly escape as she threatens to turn them into Vex. Failsafe then instructs them to uncover the secrets contained within the planetary core. They soon learn of the Conductor's experiments when they discover data contained on the degaussed [[Exo]]minds within the Conductor’s lab. At one point, the Conductor also experimented with a pair of [[Batadactyl]]s in her attempts to locate the Chioma Esi she remembers. They then defeat the Hydra frames sent by the Conductor and enhance Failsafe's mainframe to its maximum potency. After arriving too late to save the real Chioma Esi from the Conductor's cruelty, they confront her outside her lab. She was able to escape with the Echo remaining in her possession, but the planet itself began to become dormant.
