At some point Crota and his spawn pursued the [[Traveler]] into the [[Sol System]] and colonized the Moon, hollowing it out into a war moon where they laid dormant until they launched an invasion of Earth during the [[Dark Age]]. The Guardians first encountered the Hive at the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]; not realizing the true threat the Hive posed, they launched a counterattack on the moon, which was later called the Great Disaster. The Sword-Logic proved to be too much for the Guardians, as countless heroes fell; in particular, the legendary [[Titan]] [[Wei Ning]] was slain personally by Crota. | At some point Crota and his spawn pursued the [[Traveler]] into the [[Sol System]] and colonized the Moon, hollowing it out into a war moon where they laid dormant until they launched an invasion of Earth during the [[Dark Age]].

Crota's court also plays a major role when his consort [[Omnigul]] left the [[Hellmouth]] to gather the Hive in a full-scale invasion of the City. Having foreseen the imminent return of Crota, Eris Morn called upon allies who listened to her warnings to aid her in dismantling Crota's army. The Guardians successfully asassinated Crota's closest lieutenants, including the [[Swarm Princes]] and their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota|Sardon]], leaving the Hive army in disarray and [[Omnigul]] brought down by a Strike team. To ensure Crota does not reenter the material world to lead this army himself, Eris guided the Guardians to the Moon, where the chamber housing Crota's soul was located. The crystal tethering his soul in the [[Chamber of Night]] would be destroyed, banishing him from the physical world and thereby preventing his corporeal return. | |||
Crota's end would be met by a fireteam of Guardians leading a raid upon the [[Oversoul Throne]], entered from the deepest pit of the [[Hellmouth]]. When conventional means failed before the Hope-Eater at his throne world, the Guardians turned Crota's own Sword-Logic against him with the [[Cleaver]]s of his fallen Blades, permanently killing him.<ref name = "Dark Below">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> | |||
