|       ||             || '''[[Owl Sector#Transmission Incident|The Transmission Incident]]''' || Field reports are made from Guardians whose armor have become infested with "tech mites", which manifest as swarms of colorful specks that swirl around their heads. Unable to contain the mites' spread among the Guardians, the [[Owl Sector]] and Vanguard instead implemented a quarantine on the [[Last City]] in order to prevent non-Guardians' exposure.  

|       ||             ||      || Bypass Authority [[Berriole]] travels to the Dust Palace to learn the origin of the tech mites. Following a set of tracks to a lab, she finds various locked storage cabinets had been cut or blasted open. Further investigation yields the mites were linked to a [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] project overseen by a Dr. [[Zarin Shirazi]] who worked under Dr.[[Willa Bray]] and that the tech mites were actually a nanomachine therapy to improve subjects' intelligence and strength for the Golden Age's colonization effort. After sealing Shirazi's lab, however, Berriole becomes aware that the tracks which led to the lab appeared to have been made by [[Fallen]], implying that a group of Fallen (possibly the [[Splicers]]) were responsible for the incident.<ref>[http://owlsector.bungie.net/archive.html#en Owl Sector Records]</ref> Eventually, a third of all Guardians become affected by at least one variety of tech mite, prompting the Vanguard to further tighten the City's quarantine.  

|       ||             ||        || The Owl Sector's Liaison to the [[Vanguard]], [[Shun Li]], accidentally becomes exposed to a sample of tech mites and loses consciousness soon after, forcing his fellow operative [[Ramos]] to take on the duties of Acting Liaison. Fortunately, the countermeasure to the tech mites is discovered among Shirazi's records, and the combined efforts of the Owl Sector's research corps, the [[Hidden]], and the [[Techeun]]s succeed in replicating it. Shun is revived, and the cure administered to the Guardians, much to their dismay. With the crisis ended, the Owl Sector is returned to standby status.<ref>[http://owlsector.bungie.net/archive.html#en Owl Sector Records]</ref>

|       ||             ||        || The [[SIVA Crisis]] begins when the Fallen House of Devils begins digging into old Golden Age research labs all over the system, eventually returning to the Cosmodrome while shifting massive amounts of resources to a previously dark region of Old Russia. Concerned the [[SIVA]] Plague may have been discovered by the House of Devils, and unleashed upon the Cosmodrome, Lord Saladin personally leads the counterattack to contain the threat.<ref name ="NoCommentary1">'''YouTube''', ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBYYyvO1BCA Destiny Rise of Iron Playthrough.

|       ||             || '''[[The Walls Come Down]] [[Rise of Iron (Quest)]]''' || Lord Saladin then sends the Guardian to pursue Sepiks Perfected into a transformed Cosmodrome in order to learn the extent of the SIVA outbreak.

|       ||             ||              || Back at the Iron Temple, Lord Saladin meets with the Guardian and tells them the story of the Iron Lords, and how they attempted to co-opt SIVA against all of Rasputin's attempts to stop them (including eliminating all but nine of the Iron Lords in the process). In the end, revealing how SIVA ultimately corrupted many of the Iron Lords by turning their weapons and armor against them, forcing [[Jolder]] to seal herself and all of the Iron Lords except for Saladin within the Bunker rather than let SIVA escape. Saladin then realizes the Fallen have not yet mastered SIVA, and sends the Guardian to meet with [[Tyra]], a Cryptarch well versed in the origins of SIVA, and also one who might know the source of the Fallen's discoveries.<ref name="NoCommentary4"/>

|       ||             || '''[[Download Complete]] [[Rise of Iron (Quest)]]''' || The Guardian then travels to an old Clovis Bray research lab following a hunch from [[Timur]], who believes the answer to the Fallen's weakness may lie with the ancient SIVA prototypes. After clearing the facility of the Cabal, the Guardian locates an old archive that reveals information on several types of nanotech designed for differing purposes. The Guardian is then attacked by a Cabal force which they promptly eliminate before returning to the Iron temple.<ref>'''YouTube''', ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrgDomOfIBU Destiny Rise of Iron Playthrough.

The Guardian is then tasked to descend into the SIVA replication complex in order to cut its ability to replicate itself. On the way, they reverse the power cells in the SIVA reactor, temporarily cutting off the Splicer's SIVA supply. Infiltrating [[the Archon's Keep]], the Guardian descends deeper into the facility and after confronting the [[Remnant of Felwinter]], destroys the SIVA Replicator via a self destruct mechanism.<ref>'''YouTube''', ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNpSU3A_kfo Destiny Rise of Iron Playthrough.

After the Guardian recovers a coded relay from a defeated Devil Splicer, Shiro deduces that the Hive may be attempting to reclaim something stolen and tasks the Guardian with exploring the Overpass for further clues. Working off of the pointers obtained from their exploration, the Guardian takes off for the Archon's keep in search of Hive or Fallen activity. At the keep, the Guardian discovers the Fallen Splicers are experimenting with the Hive, prompting them to seek out the Splicer's High Priest in order to end his madness.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Wretched Eye]]''</ref>

| ||''Two days after the Last City's fall'' || '''[[Adieu]]''' || [[The Guardian]] awakens, having survived the fall from [[The Immortal]]. Badly wounded, the Guardian makes their way through the now-abandoned  Last City and finds their Ghost. Learning that the Red Legion are hunting and executing Lightless Guardians and that the Vanguard has ordered the evacuation of Earth, the Guardian leaves the City behind and ventures into the wilderness.

| || ''Four days after the Last City's fall'' || || After trekking for many miles in the City Outskirts, the Guardian realizes they are being led in a certain direction by a [[Louis|hawk]]. Finding a campsite littered with the corpses of killed Guardians, the Guardian scavenges a submachine gun and fights off a pack of [[War Beast]]s.

| || ''One week after the Last City's fall'' || || The Guardian reaches [[Twilight Gap]], still following the hawk, and kills another War Beast pack led by a [[Legionary]]. After missing a jump and falling into a canyon, the Guardian is awoken by [[Suraya Hawthorne]], who has helped a number of civilian City refugees find and repair old [[jumpship]]s. The group departs for a [[The Farm|safe haven]] in the distant [[European Dead Zone]].

| || || '''[[Spark]]''' || Heeding a strange vision, the Guardian ventures into a corrupted area surrounding a massive Shard of the Traveler that broke off during the [[Collapse]]. Defeating a starving band of Fallen scavengers from a [[House of Dusk|previously unseen faction]], the Guardian's Ghost reconnects to the Light through a fragment of the Shard. Once more empowered, the Guardian defeats the Fallen band and their leader, [[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed]].

| || || '''[[A New Frontier]]''' || The Guardian explores more of the European Dead Zone, encountering and defeating members of the [[House of Dusk]].

| || || '''[[Calling Them Home]]''' || To strengthen the communication network established by Devrim Kay and Hawthorne in the European Dead Zone, The Guardian is tasked to place signal amplification nodes across the EDZ. The Guardian destroyed the Fallen jamming devices in the Outskirts and ultimately traveled to Sojourner's Camp to place another node for the network, defeat the Fallen there, and secure their supplies for the Farm.

| || || '''[[Combustion]]''' || After assisting [[Devrim Kay]] and Hawthorne in setting up a comms signal network that will help more refugees find the Farm, the Guardian learns that Commander [[Zavala]] has relocated to [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] with another group of survivors and is planning a counterattack against the Red Legion.

| || || '''[[A Frame Job]]''' || The Guardian, aided by Hawthorne and Devrim Kay, embarked on a mission to instigate conflict between the Red Legion and the Fallen to keep them busy during the Guardian's absence.

| || || '''[[Hope]]''' || Upon arriving at the [[New Pacific Arcology]], Zavala and Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] informed the Guardian that their plans have been thrown into disarray by an unforeseen [[Hive]] infestation. The Guardian helps them secure the facility's command center and restore its power.  

| || || '''[[Riptide]]''' || The Guardian is tasked with restoring power. They succeed encountering and killing members of [[Savathûn's Brood]] and the [[House of Dusk]] to restore power to the station.

| || || '''[[Thief of Thieves]]''' || A group of Fallen, who had followed Zavala, Sloane and the other survivors to Titan, have broken into the Control Center in [[Siren's Watch]] and stolen various supplies from Commander Sloane. The Guardian is tasked to recapture the stolen supplies from the fallen thieves. After reaching them, The Guardian eliminated the crew and recovered the supplies.   

| || || '''[[Bad Neighbors]]''' || A conflict between the Hive and Fallen erupted on Titan and to prevent the destruction of the old structures of [[The Rig]] from a Fallen bomb, the Guardian is tasked to intervene and intercept the Fallen. After defeating the fallen, who were creating the bomb, The Guardian's Ghost then decided that the bomb could still be useful against the Hive nests at Tidal Anchor. Ghost used the Fallen's bomb components to craft his own bomb, which the player then used to destroy a Hive "Resonator" device, luring out the Hive in Tidal Anchor and killing all their forces.

| || || '''[[Deathless]]''' || A Hive Knight, known as [[Takul-Dar, the Unbreakable]], has been harassing Sloane's repair crews. To stop his attacks Sloane tasked The Guardian to kill him. The Guardian traveled into the [[Solarium]] to track him down but discovered that the Knight is successively reincarnated by a Hive ritual. To stop his constant reincarnation, The Guardian defeated all the wizards responsible for the ritual. After defeating them, The Guardian finally killed permanently Takul-Dar.

| || || '''[[Siren Song]]''' || The Hive produced Gravitational Waves by Hive magic to destabilize the Arcology. To counteract the Hive's attack, The Guardian tracked the waves back to their source, a Hive Summoning Ritual. After defeating all Hive forces, The Guardian interrupted the Ritual.

| || || '''[[Utopia]]''' || Commander Zavala and Sloane intercepted an encrypted high-priority Red Legion signal which they hope will provide them some insight in how to combat the Cabal. To decrypt the signal, Zavala ordered The Guardian to traverse deeper into the Arcology and retrieve a Golden Age CPU to crack the signal. Unfortunately, the signal revealed that the Red Legion has brought in [[The Almighty]], a superweapon designed to shatter suns and destroy systems. In light of this overwhelming threat, Zavala asked the Guardian to locate the missing members of his fireteam: [[Cayde-6]] and [[Ikora Rey]].

| || || '''[[Looped]]''' || The Guardian traveled to [[Nessus]], the source of a strangely-amplified signal believed to be from Cayde-6. In the [[Arcadian Valley]], the Guardian encountered a Golden Age AI, [[Failsafe]], the sole survivor of the ''[[Exodus Black]]'' expedition launched 500 years ago. Failsafe confirmed that "the Cayde unit" is on the planetoid, but is trapped in a [[Vex]] teleporter network; Failsafe broadcasted the distress signal in the hopes that someone else would arrive to rescue Cayde.  

| || || '''[[Six]]''' || After tracking Cayde, the Guardian frees him from the network by stealing the original teleporter pad Cayde used, then defeats a band of Fallen before they breach Failsafe's core. Cayde reveals he wanted the teleporter to board Ghaul's ship and assassinate him, an act that would almost certainly have been a suicide mission, but is brightened up when told that Zavala needs him back. Cayde directs the Guardian to [[Io]] to find Ikora Rey.

| || || '''[[Exodus Siege]]''' || Zavala detects a Fallen scout near the Exodus Black. After killing the scout, the Young Wolf learns of a planned attack on the Exodus Black. They repel the attack and find the Fallen's lair, which is protected with barriers enhanced with Vex tech. The Guardian manages to break through and destroy their servitors.

| || || '''[[Hack the Planet]]''' || The Ghost has a plan to hack Nessus' core (which contains vex data) and needs Failsafe's help. However, the Vex imprison her in a cube and the Young Wolf have to save her, they manage to save her.

THEY manage to finish gathering data.

| || || '''[[Unbreakable]]''' || The Guardian collects Vex data at the Artifact’s Edge.

| || || '''[[Lost Crew]]''' || [[Failsafe]] tasks the Guardian with what happened to two former members of her crew who left after an argument with the captain. They defeat a Vex Warden guarding the remains of the two crew members. [[Failsafe]] concludes that no one even is truly dead as long as someone remembers them.

| || || '''[[Release]]''' || The Guardian investigates the Vex doing behavioural experiments on the Fallen and brings an end to it.

| || || '''[[Sacrilege]]''' || The Guardian finds Ikora at [[Echo Mesa]] on Io, where she had gone to reflect on her inability to predict the Red Legion's invasion and the Guardians' loss of their powers. Without warning, a massive gout of the Traveler's energy erupts from Io's surface, a reaction provoked by Red Legion activity. Ikora sends the Guardian to investigate. The Red Legion base is found almost empty, the Cabal having accomplished their goal and now evacuating Io, but the Guardian discovers an unwelcome surprise: [[Taken]]. [[Asher Mir]], a Warlock researching the Vex on Io, informs the Guardian that the Taken are draining the Traveler energy still stored within Io. The Guardian stops the dark ritual.

| || || '''[[Unexpected Guests]]''' || The Guardian stops the Taken from attempting to open a portal to the [[Court of Savathûn]].

| || || '''[[Road Rage]]''' || Asher Mir tasks the Guardian with stopping the Vex from attempting to gain access to the Warmind Vault.

| || || '''[[Fury]]''' || When Asher Mir learns that Zavala's plan to save the Solar System is to blow up The Almighty, he insists that he can prove the Commander is wrong to do so. The Guardian infiltrates a long-empty [[Warmind]] vault, defeating more Taken along the way, and connects Asher to its systems to crunch data. Asher's fears are confirmed: The Almighty is linked directly to the Sun, and will take the Sun with it if it is destroyed without severing that link. Meanwhile, the Speaker persuades Ghaul to earn the Traveler's favor in order to gain its power, despite The Consul's protests that their experiment on Io has given the Cabal the tools needed to seize the Light.

| || || '''[[Cliffhanger]]''' || The Guardian kills [[Tekton, Constructive Mind]] and releases a virus on the Vex, created by Asher Mir.

| || || '''[[Postmodern Prometheus]]''' || Asher Mir orders the Guardian to attempt an experiment to create [[Light]], fighting off Vex and Taken while doing so. The experiment ends in failure.

| || || '''The Planning of a Counterattack''' || The Vanguard reunites at The Farm and discusses their next move now that a frontal assault on The Almighty is out of the question. As The Guardian is the only one to have regained their Light, it is decided to send them to disable The Almighty while the Vanguard and a team of other Lightless Guardians carry out a simultaneous attack in the Last City to free the Traveler. Commander Zavala also reauthorizes [[Strike]]s at this time.

| || || '''[[Payback]]''' || In order to reach [[The Almighty]], The Guardian is charged with stealing a Cabal ship and the access code from the base in the EDZ. The Guardian uses a [[Drake Tank]] to advance through their defenses and disables the [[Cabal carrier]], commanded by [[Thumos, the Unbroken]], who has the access code to enter into the Almighty.

| || || '''[[Unbroken]]''' || After impeding the escape of the [[Cabal carrier]], The Guardian assaults the carrier and kills Thumos for his authorization codes.

| || || '''[[Larceny]]''' || The Guardian fights throughout the Cabal base to secure the personal shuttle of Thumos and aboard [[The Almighty]].

| || || '''[[1AU]]''' || At The Almighty, the Guardian breaks through the vessel's security and overloads its core, breaking the link with the Sun and rendering the superweapon permanently inert.  

| || || '''The Death of The Consul''' || The Consul informs Ghaul of the disaster that had befallen their mightiest weapon and berates him for his hesitance. Ghaul realizes the truth of The Consul's words, but strangles him to death for his insubordination.

| || || '''[[Chosen]]''' || The Guardian arrives in the Last City after the counterattack is underway. Fighting through the streets and across the rooftops, the Guardian rendezvouses with the Vanguard and uses the teleporter to board Ghaul's ship and confront the Dominus. Ghaul reveals he has already siphoned the Traveler's Light and gained the powers of a Guardian. Although the battle is fierce and Ghaul gathers more and more Light to strengthen himself, the Guardian prevails. Unexpectedly, Light bursts from Ghaul's corpse and takes his form, revealing Ghaul has become Light incarnate. As Ghaul proclaims himself to be a god, however, Light begins to shine through the Traveler's cage. Miraculously, the Traveler finally reawakens, emitting a powerful wave of Light that shatters the cage and obliterates Ghaul. The other Guardians regain their Light and the Red Legion is forced to flee from the City, defeated for the first time in their history.

| || || '''The Awakening of the Black Fleet''' || The Traveler's Light wave spreads across the Solar System and beyond. In intergalactic space, the wave washes over a [[Black Fleet|mysterious fleet of ships]] that activates and begins moving in the direction of the wave's source.

| || || '''The Reconstruction of the Last City''' || Reconstruction begins in the liberated Last City. The Vanguard establishes a [[Tower (Destiny 2)|new headquarters]] while the old Tower is rebuilt, and plans are drawn up to replace the City districts lost during the Red Legion's attack and subsequent occupation. Although the Red War continues, with the Traveler awake there is hope for victory.

| || || '''[[The Arms Dealer]]''' || Suraya Hawthorne discovers that [[Bracus Zahn]] is supplying weaponry to the Red Legion and tasks the Guardian with stopping his weapons supply inside his ship, [[Orobas Vectura]]. They confront him in the Carrier and stop him. Hawthorne thanks them for saving the people through this effort.

Zavala asks the Guardian to investigate the last known location of the missing fireteam. They learn that the fireteam has been turned into Void crystals by a Hive ritual and that Taeko-3 has sacrificed herself to allow the Guardian to disrupt the ritual. They avenge Taeko-3 by destroying a massive Shrieker responsible for the ritual and report to Zavala on the fireteam's fate.

| || || '''[[The Inverted Spire]]''' || The Vanguard receive intelligence from Failsafe that the Red Legion remnants have uncovered a secret threatening the planetoid of Nessus. The Guardian is deployed near the drill site to defeat [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] before the Cabal can use it as a weapon. They combat the Cabal occupants and the Vex defenders along the way and enter the excavation site, where they confront and defeat Protheon.

| || || '''[[The Pyramidion]]''' || [[Asher Mir]] tasks the Guardian with slaying the Vex Mind responsible for transforming his arm into Vex: [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]] inside the Pyramidion on Io. Along the way, they eliminate the Taken forces invading the Vex structure. They soon defeat him at the bottom of the Pyramidion.

| || || '''[[Lake of Shadows]]''' || The Taken forces have threatened the water supply used by the civilians of the EDZ.
