===Formation===
The Coalition begins to form after signing an armistice with Empress Caiatl, integrating the House of Light into the Last City, and assisting the Awoken in rescuing the [[Techeun]]s from the forces of Xivu Arath. It would start with a joint operation between the Vanguard and the Imperial Cabal, upon learning that [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]], has gained the powers of the Light from [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] and uses her [[Lucent Brood]] to steal Light from the Guardians. Although [[Uldren Sov|Crow]]'s inexperience almost placed the fledgling Coalition in danger, it remained strong thanks to the bravery of [[Saladin Forge]] and would continue to grow over time, when Empress Caiatl tasks the Guardian to shut down [[Psion]]ic propaganda instigated by [[Yirix]] and spread by [[Qabix, Insurgent]]. Empress Caiatl discovers the future where Neomuna is under assault, [[Emperor Calus]]'s flagship, the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] returns, [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] is freed from her Stasis prison, and the Traveler is infected with Darkness from her Psions. She declares that the Coalition must remain united in order to stay vigilant, especially as the Witness begins to reveal itself and declares war with the forces of the Sol System and the Traveler itself.

They would also work with Mara Sov to gain information about the [[Collapse]] from Savathûn's worm and stop the [[Scorn]] from taking over [[The Sunken Pyramid]] following the death of the First Disciple, [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]].

Line 31: Line 28:


The forces of the Coalition would rally together as the threat of the Witness and its Disciples loom in the Solar System. After assisting the Bray family and Osiris in bringing [[Rasputin]] back online, Mara Sov informs the leaders of the Coalition that the usage of the [[Warsat]]s would allow Xivu Arath's forces to invade Earth. In response, Rasputin is forced to sacrifice himself to not only destroy all of the Warsats but also prevent Eramis from successfully completing ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE and allowing Xivu Arath a foothold to commence her invasion on Earth. The Traveler departs from Earth to confront the [[Black Fleet]]. In its absence, the Vanguard declares that the Guardians, the Awoken, the House of Light, and the Imperial Cabal will unite to stop the Witness and its Disciples together. Evidence of this union can be seen in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]]'s skies as the ships from each member of the Coalition occupy it, including Awoken [[Ceres Galliot|Galliot]]s, Eliksni [[Ketch]]es controlled by the House of Light, and [[Cabal Carrier]]s under Empress Caiatl's command.

The Witness and its forces finally arrive at Earth's orbit to confront the Traveler. The forces of the Coalition respond to defend it, but the defense fails as the pilots go down in the fight and the Witness soon learns the location of [[The Veil]]. The Guardian and Osiris follow the [[Shadow Legion]] fleet heading for [[Neptune]]. Upon landing on Neptune, the Coalition begins an alliance with the people of Neomuna by assisting the Cloud Striders in the fight against the Shadow Legion led by the newly-risen Disciple of the Witness, Emperor Calus. Mara informs the Guardian that she is responding to the Vanguard's aid and they are fighting a two-front war with the Shadow Legion, with one front on Neptune, and the other front on Earth. With the information in mind, the Guardian works to prevent Calus and the Witness from establishing a link with the Veil alongside Osiris, Nimbus, Rohan, and Caiatl. Rohan is forced to sacrifice himself to destroy the [[Radial Mast]] and prevent it from establishing a link with the Veil, leaving Nimbus as the sole Cloud Strider to defend Neomuna. They would work to make their final assault on Calus by having Caiatl rally the [[Cabal]] to fight alongside the Guardian, Nimbus reactivate the remaining [[CloudArk]] defenses throughout Neomuna, and Osiris assist the Guardian in their mastery of Strand. Once the mastery of Strand is complete, the Guardian eventually confronts Calus at the [[Veil Containment]] site underneath the Veil. They defeat him, but the victory is short-lived as the Witness possesses Ghost to establish a link with the Veil and open the portal using its energy so it can subsequently begin the [[Final Shape]]. Despite the setback, the Guardian work to assist Nimbus in tracking down Rohan's notes leading into the [[Black Garden]], repair Cloud Strider monuments damaged by the Vex, and end Nezarec's influence on the people by confronting him inside the [[Essence|terraformed Pyramid]] once inhabited by the Witness. [[Soteria]] informs the Guardian that an [[Ahsa|enemy of the Witness]] is hiding somewhere on Titan and urges them to not waste time.

Line 39: Line 34:


The Coalition led by the Vanguard would be forced to follow Soteria's lead as their attempts to follow the Witness have failed with the death of [[Joxer]]. As [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] reappears in the Sol System, they discover Deputy Commander Sloane's distress signal. Zavala organizes a rescue team including himself, Saladin, Saint-14, and the Guardian. As the rescue team explore the derelict rig, Xivu Arath announces her presence on Titan by sending in Hive and Taken forces to hamper the rescue team's efforts to find Sloane. After pushing back her forces, the Drifter arrives in the Derelict to assist the rescue team. Zavala discovers the origin of the distress signal lies in the depths of [[Kraken Mare]] at 1 kilometer. The Guardian, Drifter, and Zavala reunite with Sloane. She reveals the Taken corruption inhabiting her body and introduces them to a large sea creature named Ahsa. Sloane informs them that Ahsa has vital information regarding the Witness, but in order to do so, she will need Egregore coral and technology salvaged from the New Pacific Arcology so she can form a psychic connection with Ahsa and get the message delivered to the Coalition. After enough Egregore is used to strengthen Sloane's connection with Ahsa, Ahsa is able to tell the Coalition of a huge revelation: the Witness is a gestalt of the first civilization uplifted by the Traveler made manifest through the power of Darkness they learned from the Veil. Ahsa also reveals more information about the Final Shape, a plan to reshape the universe to the Witness's desire by connecting the Veil and the Traveler together. However, the connection is lost before Ahsa is able to explain the next step that will allow the Vanguard to follow the Witness. The Coalition discovers that Xivu Arath is using her [[Scream of Xivu Arath|Wizards]] to conduct a ritual to Take Ahsa and responds to stop the ritual. The Guardian and the [[Iron War Beast]]s led by Saladin work together to stop the ritual. After escorting Ahsa to safety, she finally reveals the next step: resurrect Savathûn. Meanwhile, Osiris and Nimbus work together to gain more information about the Veil through various logs left behind by Dr. [[Chioma Esi]].

Meanwhile, Osiris and Nimbus work together to gain more information about the Veil through various logs left behind by Dr. [[Chioma Esi]].
Months later, after finally finding a way inside the portal by resurrecting Savathûn who then proceeded to reveal to them that the only way to safely cross the portal into the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]] required the help of the [[Ahamkara]], Crow volunteered to enter the Pale Heart first once the Guardian managed to secure [[Riven]] and [[Taranis]]'s eggs from the Dreaming City. As the Vanguard awaited a response from Crow and Osiris goes to work preparing the connection between the Traveler and the Veil long enough for Crow to enter the Pale Heart, the Witness sends its forces to attack the Last City and recreate the [[Black Heart]] as its final attempt to stop the Coalition from following it and soon Crow inside the Pale Heart. The destruction of the recreated Black Heart allows Crow to enter the Pale Heart, and his paracausal connection with Mara allows the other Coalition members to enter the portal. The Vanguard and the Guardian would arrive next inside the Pale Heart as the Witness is close to enacting the Final Shape upon the universe. The Coalition allies eventually arrive there as the Guardian and the Vanguard travel to the site where the [[Penitent]] faction of the [[Precursors (Species)|Precursor]] civilization used the power of the Veil to create the Witness and discover a way to wound it. The Witness becomes wounded by the destruction of the dissenter statues within a realm of Darkness by the Light and forces the Vanguard to flee towards the [[H.E.L.M.]].
After the Coalition arrived in the Pale Heart, they set up base within [[The Lost City]], an area within the Pale Heart manifesting the memory of the Tower prior its destruction in the Red War. The Guardian works alongside various Coalition allies to prepare them for their assault on the Witness's monolith. They work with Caiatl to sabotage a Shadow Legion plan to deploy Light-harvesting machines, Mithrax to confront a [[Korha, the Hollow|familiar foe]] responsible for the death of his mother [[Inaaks]] long ago, Crow and [[Cayde-6]] to investigate a lead on the Witness’s experiments with Dark Ether, and [[Micah-10]] to oversee solutions to heal the Traveler from the Witness's corruption. The Coalition begins preparing for battle as the the Guardian begins their assault on the monolith upon helping the Coalition allies, forming a temporary alliance with the [[Lucent Brood]], and acquiring [[Ergo Sum]] as a final gift from the Traveler. The Coalition begins deploying en masse after the Guardian forced the Witness out of the monolith and permanently prevented the Final Shape from being enacted. They were eventually victorious in the final battle against the Witness and celebrate their victory within the Last City by placing lanterns into the sky.
===The Echoes Arms Race===
The Witness's death created 2 things: [[Echo (object)|Echo]]es housing the memories of various civilizations the Witness conquered made real by the Light and an aurora around the Traveler. The Vanguard instructs the Coalition fleet to enact a no-fly zone around the aurora the Vanguard later calls the [[Valence]]. The Echoes would spread out from the Traveler and eventually land on [[Nessus]], the [[Dreadnaught]], and one other location. The first Echo which landed on Nessus falls under the possession of [[Maya Sundaresh|the Conductor]], who planned to use the Vex to create a second Golden Age. The second Echo eventually falls under the possession of [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]], who is using it to create a new army for himself.
