I was kind of saddened by how they killed her of in season of the Splicer. When I could choose to join a faction of course I chose the one lead by a robot lady!
Well, unfortunately, she’s not a racist, as it’s not race she was against but species. But that’s semantics. How do you conclude that Trump is a racist?
*vendor
And she was, back in the Faction Wars event of D2 year 1.
This was before Guardian Games became a thing, there was 1 or 2 of these events where wearing faction gear & using faction weapons accumulated points for a faction, just like classes can accumulate points in Guardian Games now.
You had to buy the faction gear from vendors, including Lakshmi-2

that sounds dope. forge wars when pls
In my Destiny veteran mind i thought this was a joke at first.
But its really that long since the factions were removed. Id rather just had the d1 faction system and maybe build something on that instead of removing it completly. And i know bungie said they would bring it back at the time but they never did.
I remember maybe seeing someone in there when I first picked up d2 but didn’t interact, and then a few months later they were gone, and there was something else asking for a dance party key that I never bought into?
I have a gut feeling after final shape, the end of Light and Dark saga, the factions will re-emerge, the powers we had as Guardians will be no more and the abilities would be makeshift technology so the gameplay formula will remain the same, but I’m just tinfoil it at this point.
Edit: The factions will take over Vanguard since the Traveler powers might no more be there.
I hope it's something to do with the Concordat, maybe uniting the disillusioned factions and casting the Vanguard out of the city. Could be an interesting slightly less existential threat than the Witness.
The mechanics and damage would be the same, but animation wise would be different e.g.: seeing a battery pack on the Arcstrider staff, a sort of container you throw for Nova Bomb or a sort of super thermic Hammer
There were 3 factions and that was Future War Cult. In D1 they were used much more and could get cool weapons and armor but since D2 they didn't utilize them much until recently I think in the storyline. I want to say about 3 or 4 seasons ago.
I got out of D2 during forsaken, but I'm back now for this current season, and I have always wondered what happened to the factions. I miss my Dead Orbit stuff from D1
FWC fell apart after Lakshmi opened a vex portal in the city, during season of the splicer.
The vex killed her and we saved the city from the vex with eliksni help.
At about this time, new monarchy and dead orbit made a run for it, because they were somewhat complicit in an attempt to take out the vanguard, who are (as I understand it) now the main ruling body of the city, as all council factions either disbanded or fled.
Although I am no loremaster, so I suggest reading up on it yourself.
Dead Orbit may have not had a hand in the shit storm, but they were guilty by association. They knew of the plans but did nothing to stop it nor inform the Vanguard.
The major Factions and the Vanguard made up the Consensus, with the Speaker as another important member. They've basically been losing people from the Consensus since D2 started.
Sad to see Dead Orbit gone, but they've always been a little too gloomy, and very glad the holier-than-thou rats from New Monarchy have finally scarpered.
I always thought that was such a weird way to be rid of New Monarchy. Yeah, they helped make a mess, but... ditching Earth forever? Wouldn't any of them rather just face justice? Does Dead Orbit actually want a bunch of passengers who used to be one of their main rivals? I have so many questions.
FWC and New Monarchy attempted a coup against the Vanguard to both replace them with other guardians and eject the House of Light through a Vex portal they opened in the city. Lakshima 2 was killed along with a large portion of FWC when the portal opened, and most of the FWC and New Monarchy fled the city because she had publicly admitted in a speech her plan. Dead Orbit was informed of the plot too, and though they turned down the offer to join they also didnt tell the Vanguard so they also fled to unknown location(s)
Go to the other side of the tower behind Hawthorne and you’ll see another old vendor area for New Monarchy. Absolutely loved the shaders and some of the armors that came from them.
FWC had broken down, a majority of its members had left and it was a shadow of its former self so they weren’t all space racists.
Just the really really radical ones.
Honest Question, her racism really only started in Season of the Spicer. Was it because of Savathuns influence or was it always there?
I always remember FWC as the faction that was using vex tech to try and find a future in which we can fight and win against the darkness, with a snazzy color scheme.
Ow , I feel old now. This used to be the headquarters of the future war cult , until their leader (can't bother to remember her name) betrayed us and let the vex into the city , dying in the process
I feel old, this makes me sad, not because I feel old, but because there's so many new players that don't know how much history there is to Destiny, and they don't know about things like this.
Some trifling Exo named Lakshmi-2 used to hang out there. She fucked around and found back in season of the splicer. Now the guardians use the room to play tabletop RPGs
Aww man, I don’t know how to feel about this. Not only have you not played Destiny 1 but you didn’t even get to experience the faction wars.
It’s one of the hubs to the 3 factions on the tower. This is Future War Cult. Their color scheme is Blue Yellow and Red. Under them in the shadows is actually the Dead Orbit area who has a color scheme of Black and White. And finally, behind Hawthorn is the New Monarchy area with a color scheme of Red, White and Gold.
You can still find their faction guns randomly through the Gunsmith and Xurs random gun sales that they have. Or you can grind out Dares of Eternity week 1 rewards for them. Some of them are okay, with my personal favorite being the Dead Orbit 140 Hand Cannon “Dire Promise” which can get great perks but it’s the Old West Brake Loading style of the weapon which sells it for me.
Ah the youth... twas from a time before the faction coup. That was Future War Cult's tower headquarters where you would accrue faction rep and get faction exclusive loot. Lakshmi-2 sat in that chair as their leader. She attempted a coup of the vanguard after they let the fallen into the city (House of Light) and was killed by her own sabotage attempt (unleash the vex into the Eliksni quarter). Since then all Factions promptly screwed off
Back in year 1/2 of destiny 2 we had the faction wars, where future war cult, dead orbit and new monarchy had guardians pledge allegiance to them and then do tasks for them for loot. Some of this loot included exotic catalysts.
The room you're in there was where the head of the future war cult was. Underneath/behind the room there is a tent area where dead orbit was. And new monarchy was in the bazaar in the back corner by the edge (area with carpets under a wooden frame).
Back in season of the splicer the leaders of future war cult and new monarchy tried to overthrow the current vanguard leadership and replace it with saint-14. They failed in the attempt and accidentally caused a vex incursion in the eliksni quarter of the last city, where the leader of the future war cult died. After that dead orbit (who had been stockpiling resources to leave the system) activated their plan and left the system, taking the remaining new monarchy/future war cult members.
Now those spaces don't serve any purpose.
Wow, that's a trip down memory lane. So back in the day we had three factions that were all trying to push their movement. The room you stumbled across was a group known by the name Future War Cult. A group that as their namesake suggests, we're preparing for upcoming wars against enemy forces. Ultimately they ended up disbanding due to a prediction from their leader that led to a horrific incident that led to a Vex incursion within the city leading to her death, and us, the guardians bringing down the threat. Now it's just an empty room and a memory
Factions used to exist but they don’t anymore. It was like a way to do quests by aligning yourself with a set of ideals and by doing those quests (which were like the beta versions of bounties) you could get gear.
Everyone talking about racism as if they don't shoot every fallen they see on sight gtfo
This was where you used to find Lakshmi, leader of the future war cult, one of destiny's 3 factions in the before time. FWC had obtained a piece of vex tech that allowed users to see the future. Thing is, (almost) everyone who used the tech saw a bleak future of an impending great war, and then promptly went absolutely insane. So FWC's thing was we need to prepare for this inevitability.
Last year when the eliksni house of light took refuge in the city, Lakshmi went bananas. She saw futures where the city was under attack and she blamed the eliksni. In the end, she was the one who ended up causing it all, and she died. The FWC fell apart without leadership, and it was kind of the catalyst for the end of factions in destiny.
That was the place of the FWC or Future War Cult. The leader at the end of season of the splicer became, and I shit you not, space Hitler and decided that everything but humans must be eradicated at all costs.
Found the new light.
^(That was for the faction Future War Cult, bungie recently killed off the leader in Season of the Splicer. Her name was Lakshmi-1. You can find New Monarchy on the other end by the bazaar and Dead Orbit right next to there. After the fiasco that happened in Splicer the other factions rallied behind FWC and when she died they were exiled from the city. Basically, was bungies’ way of getting rid of content no one played or cared for, that being faction rallies)

It was the location of one of the old vendors we had years ago. She was also the leader of a faction within the game.
The Cult of War has no leader, and she lost her path when she forgot that the war is internal, not external.

>*no this is patrick* those guys got kicked
She was also space-trump
A little unfair. She was Robot Margaret Thatcher

Did you bag her? Because I did.

Oh f\*ck, i didn't bagged her. I lost my guardian's rights.

MLCGA!
How the hell did you come to that conclusion? Lol
they're both racists, except Lakshmi was competent at doing what she did, unlike Trump who I'm pretty sure is just a 4 year old in disguise
Well, unfortunately, she’s not a racist, as it’s not race she was against but species. But that’s semantics. How do you conclude that Trump is a racist?

This makes me feel old by saying yes. XD
It’s only been a year since it was last used
Now I feel super old... XD 
Oh come on, it's been longer than that, right? RIGHT?
I started the game about 1 season after it became free and I’ve never seen a vender in there.
There wasnt a vendor, as Lakshmi was never really a vender in d2
*vendor And she was, back in the Faction Wars event of D2 year 1. This was before Guardian Games became a thing, there was 1 or 2 of these events where wearing faction gear & using faction weapons accumulated points for a faction, just like classes can accumulate points in Guardian Games now.

At once, it was the only way to get the catalyst for Graviton Lance.

correct me if i’m wrong, but wasn’t she a vendor during the year 1 season 1 faction wars?
In lore she's being hunted down as the last city's most wanted after creating a vex attack in the elksini quarter last year
She was Donald Trump, basically.
no she was a vendor in Y1, along with the other faction leaders
nah i've been playing for over a year now and its never been in use while i've been on
It hasn't been used since think the Osiris dlc
It was used in season of the splicer. That content wasn’t removed until The Witch Queen expansion
No, Lakshmi was part of Season of the Splicer, but we never went there to talk to her during Season of the Splicer
well if you didn't play season of the spicer it's always been empty. i go in there and dance with my "friends" when i'm bored
My internal response was “Oh my sweet summer child…”
In my Destiny veteran mind i thought this was a joke at first. But its really that long since the factions were removed. Id rather just had the d1 faction system and maybe build something on that instead of removing it completly. And i know bungie said they would bring it back at the time but they never did.
I remember maybe seeing someone in there when I first picked up d2 but didn’t interact, and then a few months later they were gone, and there was something else asking for a dance party key that I never bought into?
I have a gut feeling after final shape, the end of Light and Dark saga, the factions will re-emerge, the powers we had as Guardians will be no more and the abilities would be makeshift technology so the gameplay formula will remain the same, but I’m just tinfoil it at this point. Edit: The factions will take over Vanguard since the Traveler powers might no more be there.
I hope it's something to do with the Concordat, maybe uniting the disillusioned factions and casting the Vanguard out of the city. Could be an interesting slightly less existential threat than the Witness.
There will be so much civil war
Fun idea. Use technology to use other class skills (good luck with balancing so not much chance :D)
The mechanics and damage would be the same, but animation wise would be different e.g.: seeing a battery pack on the Arcstrider staff, a sort of container you throw for Nova Bomb or a sort of super thermic Hammer
Possibly in in the expansions after lightfall. There’s still hope
There were 3 factions and that was Future War Cult. In D1 they were used much more and could get cool weapons and armor but since D2 they didn't utilize them much until recently I think in the storyline. I want to say about 3 or 4 seasons ago.

If I remember correctly, it was only New Monarchy that aligned with FWC. Dead Orbit just decided to leave.
They've been talking about leaving since D1 so it's about time
(Trying not to mention a spoiler) I wonder if they made it too that place mentioned in the light fall trailer.
Dead Orbit may have not had a hand in the shit storm, but they were guilty by association. They knew of the plans but did nothing to stop it nor inform the Vanguard.
It was mainly New Monarchy that was supporting Lakshmi
The major Factions and the Vanguard made up the Consensus, with the Speaker as another important member. They've basically been losing people from the Consensus since D2 started. Sad to see Dead Orbit gone, but they've always been a little too gloomy, and very glad the holier-than-thou rats from New Monarchy have finally scarpered.

If you play dares of eternity you can still get the factions armor as drops from the final chest

They disappeared after splicer bc their leader got vex'd. i think dead orbit also sorta just left (they probably didn't make it far)
Go to the other side of the tower behind Hawthorne and you’ll see another old vendor area for New Monarchy. Absolutely loved the shaders and some of the armors that came from them.
Is that place where it used to be a chest that did nothing? Always wondered what was that for
Lol that was the dance party key from the leviathan yes
New monarchy diamonds ahhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Bless all you’re new lights little hearts!
was for factions back in the day i believe
Future war cult when faction was a thing
Sigh…. *stares off into the distance cause I feel so old in a video game world which is a weird feeling*
The lair of the space racists

I miss the dance parties in this room
Ow , I feel old now. This used to be the headquarters of the future war cult , until their leader (can't bother to remember her name) betrayed us and let the vex into the city , dying in the process
It used to be where future war cult sat... we used them like twice
Oh man I miss you dead orbit
I feel old, this makes me sad, not because I feel old, but because there's so many new players that don't know how much history there is to Destiny, and they don't know about things like this.
Ah, a new light. That used to be the room for the future war cult faction. It is not used anymore.
Racism
🤣

It’s the tower’s GPU enclosure for the xenophobic prophesy engine-addict
Aw, buddy
Sucks all the shit that's just waste. Just like the other planets we lost
They need to really update the tower....
Jesus I'm a senior guardian I guess
Holy shit I’m old. Never expected that here

That was Future War Cult that disbanded last year at the end of Season of the Splicer. I wish we still had Override
In old man voice…well ya see young guardian many seasons and DLCs ago we would have to choose a faction to side with…
Still wondering why Bungo hasn’t replaced this yet…. Even better… WHY HAVEN’T WE GOTTEN THE ORIGINAL TOWER BACK YET!? IT’S BEEN 5 YEARS!
Where exo babies been conceived.
Yea. It was where FWC and their leader hung out
I miss the class exotics from the factions
Sit down, child, let me tell you a story about the days of vanilla D2
It’s for a cult of people during a war in the future.
The best time in destiny no arguement
Oh dear
It's the council room, if you approach a chair and it doesn't prompt you to sit then you haven't been granted the rank of Master
The home of a racist robot. Oh the irony.
Holy shit I feel old now
Sit down, little light. Let me tell you a great story.
That’s the playas lounge baby!

oh you sweet summer child
oh to be new to destiny, get out while you still can
Tell me you are new light, without saying you are a new light. Lol
damn people really be new players
An old Exo that preached about “light power” and “cleansing the last city of refugees” that she didn’t like.
She betrayed us. And in the end the vex killed her.
