The '''Tower''' is a location in the [[Last City]], located along the outer wall. It is the headquarters of the [[Vanguard]], home of the [[Speaker]], and where Guardians return to report and rest between missions.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-17-destiny-bungie-unveils-its-shared-world-shooter '''Eurogamer''' - ''Bungie unveils its shared world shooter'']</ref> Guardians can visit vendors, turn in quests, and interact with their fellows in the stronghold. | |||
According to [[Tyra Karn]], at the height of the Last City's power, it was defended by eight total towers manned by Titans. Aside from the Tower and [[Bannerfall]], the others have been destroyed over centuries of conflict.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/20/4)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Activision Blizzard, [[Quest]]: [[Beauty in Destruction]]</ref> | |||
The Tower was the first target attacked by the [[Cabal]] [[Red Legion]] during their invasion of the Last City, one year after the [[SIVA Crisis]].<ref name="Last Call">[http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/28/15095770/destiny-2-first-teaser-trailer-video-bungie-cayde-6 '''Polygon''' - ''Watch the first teaser for Destiny 2'']</ref><ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Rally the Troops” Worldwide Reveal Trailer'']</ref> Guardians stalled the Red Legion troops while civilians were evacuated, but the Speaker went missing.

The Tower acts as the main hub for Guardians in between missions or [[Crucible]] matches. It is one of four "Social Spaces" available in the game, the others being the [[Vestian Outpost]] in the [[Reef]] (available in [[House of Wolves]]); [[the Lighthouse]], available after going flawless in Trials of Osiris; and the [[Iron Temple]] on [[Felwinter Peak]] (available in [[Rise of Iron]]). At the Tower, Guardians can interact with fellow Guardians, or the many NPCs present. | |||

The second is a larger purple ball that can be kicked much higher, but it descends much more slowly. Prior to patch 1.1.2, the purple ball used a low-resolution polyhedral model with a matte texture; after the patch, the purple ball gained a higher-quality model with a metallic texture, and also lights up when kicked. | ||
