- "Lush with giant twisted trees, deep caverns, waterfalls, and silver swamps, the origin of this planetoid remains unknown. What is clear is that the Vex have nearly transformed the entire planetoid into a Machine World, above and below the surface. For those Guardians willing to brave the dangers and explore the myriad of mysteries, treasures beyond the imagination await."
- — Website description [2]
7066 Nessus is a Centaur minor planet with an irregular orbit. At perihelion, Nessus is closer to the Sun than Uranus; at aphelion, Nessus moves into the Kuiper belt.
History
Approximately 126 years before the SIVA Crisis, Nessus re-entered the Solar System after an unexpected delay.[3] At some point, the Vex fully converted Nessus into a Machine World. [4]
During the Golden Age, the Colony ship Exodus Black crashed on Nessus on its way to Kepler-186. All of its colonists and crew were subsequently either captured and experimented on (such as stealing the memories of the captain) or killed by the Vex. Unable to contact help, the ship's AI, Failsafe, became dormant until she was awoken by the arrival of Cayde-6.
Following the Red Legion's invasion of Earth, they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored. During this mobilization they came into conflict with the local Vex population[5] as well as the Fallen House of Dusk which was scavenging whatever they could from the remnants of the Exodus Black.[6]
Following the death of Dominus Ghaul, Calus' flagship, The Leviathan, began to consume the planetoid.[7]
