History of Kepler

Revision 2492 by archivist at 2026-10-01 18:19:58

Kepler is the primary destination of The Edge of Fate expansion: a small rocky planetoid in the Oort Cloud, about 1.7 light years from the Sol System, with a breathable atmosphere and saturated with dark matter. A gravitational singularity there is revered by the Aionians as the "Holy Anomaly". It is unrelated to Themis Cluster, which Destinypedia lists as an asteroid belt location and does not tie to Kepler or Savathûn.

Access

Complete the mission "The Invitation".

Regions

Landing zones: Caldera, Aionian Campus, The Stacks, Curtilage Divide and Assimilated Easement; also Central Academy, Exile's Accord, Outer Steppes and The Gorge.

Activities

14 story missions, the 3 player activity "The Sieve" and the raid "The Desert Perpetual".

Lore

The AION Initiative found Kepler before the Golden Age; after the Collapse isolated colonists, the Aionians, kept studying it. House of Exile Fallen made peaceful contact but were corrupted by dark-matter-tainted Ether; Archon Levaszk claimed to hear "The Giver", really the Nine member III. Maya Sundaresh killed III with the Echo of Command. Vendor info was not in the source.
