Conspiracy Theory
Think it's time for some left field thinking.
Anyone else think that the premise of the game could be a lie constructed by the speaker...
The game starts with the ghost reanimating you from bones, so in fact you were a dead human, now infused with 'light' from the traveller.
We're told that the traveller terraformed all of the planets in our system and tripled lifespans - a 'golden age' , and then the darkness came and along - with that the hive and the fallen.
Well how about an alternative theory, along the same lines as the film 'Oblivion'.
[spoiler]
Maybe when the ghost reanimated us he changed our perception so we see humans as aliens and fellow aliens (us) as human; essentially flipped our perspective.
The traveller did in fact terraform all of the planets in our system but only so our system could be conquered, and it was.
We are now fighting on behalf of the traveller to kill the remaining humans. And the darkness is just a way the traveller keeps a reign on us to ensure we don't see too much.
We are the bad guys, and the humans (who look like aliens to us) are the good guys.
Feel free to discuss, for fun of course ;-)

I hope it is something similar: The Traveler if evil or semi-evil. All the aliens Fallen/cabal/vex/etc. have a very weak alliance for peace throughout the universe, and the Traveler was a joint operation by all the alien races. the crew was a mix of them all, but they rebelled and tried to overthrow the leaderships of everyone and are on the run from the "Darkness" (really the joint forces of the aliens trying to kill it). The fact that it rebelled caused the aliens to become distrustful of eachother and are at war again, but join together to take down their common enemy. The Traveler made up the games plot as a cover to gain humanity's help and the aliens think the humans are the army for the Traveler and are trying to kill us because we are the enemies. They would be right in thinking we are the minions of it, as we are and have been fooled by its lies. Near the end of the game, the Traveler awakens and mankind realizes its folly and joines the Fallen/etc in destroying it forever. Or at least something along those lines. :)
