Following the [[Red War]], Nessus was partially consumed by [[Emperor Calus]] [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], so that its soil could be used to make [[Royal Wine]]. Most recently, it has come under the control of [[Maya Sundaresh]], who took control of the local Vex using the [[Echo of Command]] in order to create the [[Nessian Schism]]. | Following the [[Red War]], Nessus was partially consumed by [[Emperor Calus]] [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], so that its soil could be used to make [[Royal Wine]].

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]] - | During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Colony ship]] ''[[Exodus Black]]'' crash-landed on Nessus en route to [[Kepler-186]].
