Where in the galaxy is Nessus?

I've been googling for 10 minutes with no results? Where is this place? Is it outside our solar system? Edit: is it just me or is this game looking to have more vex than necessary? I thought there would be new enemy races

    In real life, nessus is located in our solar system, it's a centaur wandering a little bit closer than neptune. In destiny, it's apparently located in alpha centauri system, since se can see a binary system when we are in nessus. alpha centauri is que closest star after the sun to our system and it's Also a binary system.

    • Nessus actually only looks the way it is because the traveler gave it life and water I think people used to live there before the darkness arrived

      It's most likely a dwarf planet out in the Oort Cloud beyond Pluto. Edit: After scrolling down it turns our I am wrong. It's a Centaur planet. That means it has a classification of a comet and a moon due to the eradict orbit and because it can have a coma like that of a comet. Think of it as a rouge asteroid just wondering between planets.

      • 7066 Nessus has an orbital period of 122.4 years, an eccentricity of 0.52 and an inclination to the ecliptic of 15.6 degrees. At perihelion, it moves much closer to the Sun than Uranus, while at aphelion it moves out well beyond the orbit of Neptune. The orbits of centaurs are unstable due to perturbations by the giant planets. Nessus is an "SE object" because currently Saturn controls its perihelion and its aphelion is within the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt.[5] Nessus is estimated to have a relatively long orbital half-life of about 4.9 Myr.[5] Fifty clones of the orbit of Nessus suggest that Nessus will not pass within 1AU (150 Gm) of a planet for at least twenty thousand years.[6]

          • 7066 Nessus (/ˈnɛsəs/; from Greek: Νέσσος) is a centaur (a type of icy minor planet) that was discovered by David L. Rabinowitz, working with Spacewatch, at Kitt Peak on 26 April 1993. It was the second centaur found by him (5145 Pholus being his previous find), and the third centaur discovery (2060 Chiron, discovered by Charles Kowal in 1977, was the first). Nessus was officially announced on May 13, 1993, in IAUC 5789 with designation 1993 HA2.

                • I'm kinda surprised that they didn't use Titan as a new game space. Could've capitalized on that with the titan class as Io seems to have meaning with the warlocks.

                    Nessus could be what we call Planet 9 that we believe theoretically exists out past the orbit of Pluto.

                    • Speaking of, why are none of the new planets ya know... planets? They're all moons and planetoids.

                        • Well it is in our solar system seeing as that is where destiny takes place, and may very well be made up for it. Now is it real I'm not a well versed in that, can't give you an answer.
