Description:

"We called it The Traveler, and its arrival changed us forever. Great cities were built on Mars and Venus. Mercury became a garden world. Human lifespan tripled. It was a time of miracles. We stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was our destiny to walk in the light of other stars. But the Traveler had an enemy: a Darkness, which had hunted it for eons across the black gulfs of space. Centuries after our Golden Age began, this Darkness found us, and that was the end of everything. But, it was also a beginning."

Into the Light is a total overhaul taking place in the Destiny Universe created by Bungie that aims to bring a new take to Hearts of Iron IV. The World Map has been altered to a 1 to 1 recreation of all the destinations featured within Destiny and Destiny 2 from the Cosmodrome to Mars to Savathun’s Throne World to The Dreadnaught to Neptune and even the Pale Heart of the Traveler.
