Mercury is the first planet in the Solar System and the closest to the Sun. The planet was inhabited by humanity during the Golden Age, following its transformation into a garden world by the Traveler. Within days of their arrival, the Vex had completely transformed Mercury into a machine.[2] The Sun itself, as seen on the planet's surface, appears to be massive in size yet not blindingly bright - a possible result of Vex engineering.[3]
Overview
Though much of Mercury is dominated by the Vex, others have managed to visit the planet, including the Cult of Osiris who maintains a camp there in the form of the Lighthouse. Flawless champions of the Trials of Osiris are permitted to visit the Lighthouse where they can find stores of Glimmer and other treasures. [3] The Sunbreakers have their Forge here as well and the Cabal built an outpost at Vertigo, but have since mysteriously disappeared.[4]
