Nessus Overview

A minor Centaur planet changed into a machine planetoid by the Vex, the Red Legion have recently landed on this world, ostensibly to start an impressively large strip-mining operation. Vex entities were subsequently awoken to this invasion, and the region is now overrun with Vex forces, who are adeptly battling the remnants of the Cabal and some rag-tag Fallen exploratory forces also on the world. Nessus would be strange and wonderful to explore, with breathtaking block-like architecture, massive lakes of white fluid, and grand vistas. There are interior Sectors that offer a glimpse into the very core of this planet. But the architecture is swarming with Vex, the water is deadly Radiolarian Fluid, and the grand vistas lead to deadly drops.

Progression (Activities)

You begin your investigation of this world at the start of Campaign Mission: Looped, when you arrive at Artifact’s Edge.
