==Overview==
Venus is now a hostile world.{{citation needed}} Sulfuric gasses are vented from the surface of the planet, <ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---10112013/en/News/News?aid=11189 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update - 10/11/2013'']</ref> and crackling lightning flashes through the sulfuric yellow sky. All the while, jungle and overgrowth has claimed the remnants of the [[Academy|scientific research settlement]] once held here by humanity.


==Activities==
==History==
During the initial exploration of Venus, ancient ruins predating humanity's existence were discovered, leading to a colonization rush by some of Earth's brightest minds.{{citation needed}} Following the [[Collapse]], the [[Vex]] lay claim to those ruins and began protecting them for unknown reasons.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>


===Story Missions===
The ruins of Venus feature energy relays used by the Vex, which are powered by a heavily protected [[Nexus]] far below the surface and are believed to be part of an ancient network that, if fully reawakened, could turn the planet itself into a system the Vex could control.<ref name="Planetview"/> Both the ancient Vex ruins, and the more recent human structures are now choked in vegetation,<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11063 '''Bungie.net''': ''Breaking In - Annie VanderMeer Mitsoda'']</ref> although humanity has managed to regain a presence there.<ref name="HopesDreams"/> But despite this, the forgotten cities are slowly being swallowed up by the Venusian ocean and in their place; the towering Vex [[citadel]] now draws the eye - a hulking, obelisk Jenga tower of bizarre geometric shapes. Its purpose remains unknown, but the robotic Vex unceasingly defend it.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 52''</ref>
