At the dawn of the [[City Age]], the Drifter and a subset of his crew set out to leave the Sol system, in search of something "greater than [[Light]]" due to the conflicts that Light had created on Earth.

They traveled for centuries, eventually finding a cold, desolate planet which gave off an energy that seemed to repel Light, much like the exotic weapon [[Thorn]]. The Drifter and his crew landed with the intent to study this energy and render it portable, although the Drifter felt that humans were not supposed to be on the world. The extreme cold of the planet took a toll on the Lightbearers and caused them to occasionally freeze to death and require Ghost resurrection, yet the Drifter and his comrades were hopeful they could find something useful and confident in their skills to survive the planet.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)|Ancient Apocalypse Hood]]''</ref> | ||
The Drifter's crew found a series of abandoned monolith-like structures on the planet, which they discovered contained [[Monolith creatures|strange, amorphous shadow-like creatures]] imprisoned in cryogenic suspension. They determined that these entities were the source of the Light-repressing fields and that they shared some characteristics with the [[Hive]], although the Drifter regretted not having a scientist among his crew who could study them better.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)|Ancient Apocalypse Robes]]''</ref> They soon discovered that not all of the creatures were imprisoned in the monoliths and that some roamed out in the wild. One night while they slept in the frozen wilderness due to it still being warmer than inside the cryogenic monoliths, a member of the Drifter's crew froze to death but was unable to be revived by his Ghost due to the proximity of one of the creatures. This loss angered them, but also increased the Drifter's determination to find a way to take the creatures off-world as they could change conflicts between Lightbearers forever. However, the crew also started becoming paranoid due to how unlikely it seemed for one of the creatures to be in close enough proximity to prevent resurrection, particularly so soon after they had realized the potential to weaponize the creatures.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ancient Apocalypse Armor (Warlock)|Ancient Apocalypse Gloves]]''</ref> | The Drifter's crew found a series of abandoned monolith-like structures on the planet, which they discovered contained [[Monolith creatures|strange, amorphous shadow-like creatures]] imprisoned in cryogenic suspension.
