Once again, Guardians, we find ourselves looking ahead. There are puzzle pieces surrounding the Vex, that have not been solved. How do we know if the space-time continuum is at risk or not. Where new evils lurk in the shadows that, humanity is unaware of.

Today, I would like to do two things:

  1. A brief history on the Vex, and relevance to current story.
  2. Where narrative threads pointing us

Before I get into timeline stuff, I think it is important for you to understand exactly what the Vex are, and where they come from.

While fellow lore masters debate it! Some, would suggest that the Vex home world is on Volantis 2082, while others say it is on Venus, or even farther afield, the Prime universe (the Garden).

While this information isn’t locked in, its relevance is important in understanding how the story of the Vex, evolves beyond this point.

See Unveiling lore book for more context.

What Do The Vex Want?

You might say, that the Vex were the first creation in Destiny, a prototype of the Final Shape. What would it look like to create a pattern, or algorithm that self-corrects everything in the universe, becoming their own Final Shape, and straying from the Witnesses’s version.

Their goal is simple, to make everything one, and the same. Simple, cold, calculated logic. However, there are many types of Vex Guardians encounter in Destiny. Each one is unique, and strives towards one common collective goal, making all existence in the Universe the same.
