As far as we know, Cloudstriders have sacrificed their lifespan in order to augment themselves with cybernetics that empower them greatly. They have sacrificed so much to protect their city, they have been devoted to their city, they have shown bravery through such sacrifices.
Sound familiar? Those are the requirements (according to the Speaker during Red War, which have been more or less contradicted later) to become a guardian!
So what if later after Light Fall, we see Cloudstrider Guardians? That would be crazy! Think of how powerful they would be, with their augmentations on top of having the light!
Could this also be a potential race we can create guardians from apart from Human, Awoken, and Exo?
Looking forward to your thoughts, let's discuss!

I believe if one was worthy enough to gain the light or darkness for that matter. They could most likely become one of the most powerful Paracausal wielding beings in the universe. Due to the fact that they’re already genetically enhanced to a certain extent. We have yet to see their overall potential and performance combat wise, and even without the light, from the video shown, they seemed to be close to par with a Titan. Taking down an entire pyramid ship with one fell swoop. I for one am very intrigued and interested to see the story behind the cloudstriders and the new destination. I also want to know how this utopia managed to stay off the grid from the darkness for so long, even from the light for that matter. Maybe for as technologically advanced the city may be. They must have used some sort of jammer technology that was powerful enough to envelope the entire city in what would simply be called an invisible shield, that kept them hidden away from any material life form/force. Whether they were good or bad, and maybe something or someone finally found a way to discover this city. Really no one knows until light fall hits. And I hope Bungie drops some lore on these Cloud strider guys before “light fall” debuts, just to give us some insight.
