Solid stuff but the first sighting of hive was a little before the great disaster so they couldn't have been part of the collapse.
After Crota found the traveler he stopped at the moon and started waiting for oryx, he sent a few scouts to earth though and that is what killed that one fire team.
Also I think the traveler had been active wayy before it came across fundament and i don't think it turns us into proxy armies per-se because the ammonites where already armed with powers before the syzygy plan failed.
I believe it just follows Kipling (law of the jungle poet) views. Sometimes violence is necessary for the greater good.
So in short, the traveler isn't evil, and the hive isn't the main agent of the darkness per se

In the Rusted Lands sighting, it claims that the Hive are an ancient enemy of humanity. It would make sense that Crota and his Hive, along with the Vex and the Darkness, caused the Collapse. I know it's been active way before that. The Ammonites were before the Traveler started to run, so it would have no need to turn them into a proxy army

Didn't RAS cause the collapse? Shut down our defenses, recycled light from the humans that died, and caused a global blackout of comms.

Yeah, he shut off solar defenses as part of his master plan. We never knew about the Darkness until it was right on top of us

Yeah, it moved in quick, it seems. I think there was a handful, however, that knew enough to prepare us with a small arrangements and protocols that got us to where we are today. 4 eyes need to activate him.

Edited by Maxx Powers 1: 11/7/2015 8:03:31 AMGood writeup. There are so many things Bungie could do with the story of the traveller. I seriously hope we don't have to wait until next fall before they give us more story/lore based content. This game doesn't need more "content for the sake of content" (iron banner and such). It needs more MEANINGFUL content that expands and enriches the game universe. I fear that won't come until "Destiny 2". :( Edit: Oops sorry, meant to reply to op.
