Sometime at the start of the [[Red War]], the [[Red Legion]] came to Venus.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Ghost scan]]s: [[Ghost scan#European Dead Zone, Earth|EDZ-TG-3]]''</ref> Why they came and the status of their occupation is unknown, but it may have been a further effort of combating and stealing from the Vex like on Nessus and the forces sent to the Black Garden's gate on Mars.
