The Battle of Verses was a massive and extremely destructive system-wide conflict fought between the Solar Coalition and various unaffiliated factions against the hostile alien species of the Fallen Worlds universe (an original Destiny-inspired verse created by User:Vothriks, the Lost).

Events

Prelude: The Mysterious Rift

The catastrophic invasion all started after a massive spatial rift of unknown origin opened on the edge of the solar system, just beyond Nessus. This rift would go unnoticed for some time, before eventually being detected by the Vex, Red Legion remnants and Fallen occupying the aforementioned centaur. All three factions sent scouting parties to investigate what could be lying beyond the anomaly, but none ever reported back.

Eventually, the feeds on Nessus went abuzz with the chatter of the rift, and word would quickly spread across the system. When news of the portal reached the Last City, several fireteams were sent to investigate the portal, but of course like all those before them that crossed through, none returned.

Fear and suspicion quickly gripped the Destiny system as speculation went wild about what could be on the other side of the anomaly. Numerous attempts were made to somehow trace the origins of the anomaly, but all were unsuccessful. Due to the fact that every party who tried to cross through the rift mysteriously vanished, some thought that there could be a hostile invasion force on the other side and made preparations to defend themselves should that be the case. This fear would only grow as it was reported that the rift began to widen.

The Looming Threat

Due to the disappearances of all their scouting parties and the sudden activity of the anomaly, the Cabal began quickly amassing an attack force to be sent through it as it began expanding at an alarming rate. Meanwhile the Fallen made preparations to flee from Nessus, and the Vex ran calculations and prepared for the worst to come. A transmission was intercepted from beyond the portal by the Tower, although heavily garbled, the Vanguard was able to determine that someone from beyond the rift was trying to warn them.

Unbeknownst to most parties, a single vessel flew out from beyond the portal into the Destiny universe, and made it all the way to Earth before crashing into the Isle of the Lost. Meanwhile some of the City’s strongest Guardians, such as The Guardian, Proteus and AJ's Host, looked into the Red Legion invasion force heading through the other side of the anomaly.

However, upon arriving, the team would discover that the fleet had already been intercepted and was under attack by an unknown threat. They boarded the flagship of the Cabal fleet and came face-to-face with the unidentified hostile aliens that were assaulting the Cabal and raiding their ships. They managed to repel the enemies and kill their commander, forcing them to retreat back through the rift. However before they did the hostiles had managed to steal a majority of the Cabal technology on the ships.

The First Strike

Scavenger Raids

In the following days, the aliens who attacked the Cabal, now identified as the Scavengers, breached the rift and invaded the system en masse, with raiding parties landing on all of the major planets and moons in the system, as well as a growing presence in the Tangled Shore. These Scavengers would begin engaging Fallen, Cabal, Hive and Vex, stealing large amounts of resources and technology from them with each strike and leaving them crippled.

Countless Guardians were deployed to repel the assaults, but no matter how many of their forces and commanders were killed, the threat of the Scavengers continued to persist, and seemed to only grow stronger. Scavengers would later be sighted beginning to use weapons and technology from the various factions they plundered in battle.
