— Location Description

The Tower is a location in the City, located along the outer wall. The Tower contains living quarters for the Guardians and the Overwatch District, providing the place where Guardians return under the shelter of the Traveler where Guardians can meet up when not on mission. Guardians can visit vendors, turn in quests, and interact with their fellows in the stronghold. The Tower houses class-focused areas for Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters to each meet with their fellows. The Tower also has a spaceship hangar.

tHe Guardians once possessed a dozen other Towers, but they where converted to civilian use because each of them could hold a billion indefinitely  at a time because the speaker was unwilling to fastly expand size of city held territory to hold he instead decided to convert it into civilian use thus they manage to double the city's size in population while staying with in the city.

Gameplay

The Tower acts as the main hub for Guardians in between missions or Crucible matches. It is one of two "Social Spaces" available in the game, the other being the Vestian Outpost in the Reef (available in House of Wolves). At the Tower, Guardians can interact with fellow Guardians, or the many NPCs present.

Tower Intercom Quotes

• "Attention Guardians, attacks on Titans have increased. Please stay in a fireteam to remain safe."
• "Guardians, having a Ghost is no excuse for recreational tower jumping!"
• "Dead Orbit would like to remind everyone that their pessimistic name does not prevent an optimistic outcome....if we survive."
• "Error. Bungie.net, satisfying your mom since 1991! Error."
• "Hello, this is Cayde-6 of the Vanguard. I realize this is an abuse of the Tower P.A., but whoever took my sparrow, I will find you. And you'll wear a sign that says you stole... Nevermind, nevermind! It's right here."
• "Fireteam... Fireteam 'The Vanguards Don't Care What We Call Ourselves Do They?' report in. Zavala out."

Trivia

• Players can interact with two different balls that can be found in the Tower Watch. The first is a soccer ball and behaves as one when kicked. The second is a larger purple ball that can be kicked much higher, but it descends much more slowly. Prior to patch 1.1.2, the purple ball used a low-resolution polyhedral model with a matte texture; after the patch, the purple ball gained a higher-quality model with a metallic texture, and also lights up when kicked.
• There is a secret button on the rafter near the post office. It activates the fan on the roof of the post office, briefly launching any Guardian standing on it into the air.
• In the lowest part of the hangar, Guardians can find a small lounge with couches and a few NPCs built into a decommissioned cargo ship. Aside from the occasional visit by Xûr, this area originally had no use and could not be interacted with. After patch 1.1.2, a machine in the lounge was updated so that it could be activated to briefly play a random piece of music.
• If one quickly heads to the hangar when they first arrive at the Tower they will see their personal spaceship landing in the hangar.
• The gyro-like machine seen in the Speaker's chamber is called the Vitalis. Its purpose is unknown. From its name, however, one might infer that it has something to do with monitoring the health or status of the Traveler, whose image it projects.
