The Vex are a race of cybernetic time-travelling beings that dedicate to top secret projects within their own data network. There was a time these projects could severely harm humanity, but after The Guardian, T-14, and Failsafe were able to hack into their Belic Mind servers, they made a peaceful contact which resulted in them backing out of the Solar System.

Overview
The Vex were created by an unknown species in the Solar System in a distant future. After determining they were superior to them, the Vex anihilated their creators and shaped their world - Uranus - into the very vision they sought, a perfect world of mechanic arrays that could be controled in every aspect by them. Not satisfied, the Vex developed a time and space travelling quantum engine so they could travel to our time and colonize our Solar System while we were still too primitive to stop them from doing it. They created a super-computer mainframes network called the Belic Mind, which they use in a similar way to our Internet, to transfer all data they acknowledge into the Vex collective, an array that connects all Vex in a single mind.

In Destiny, they attempted to master the energies known as the Light, provenient from The Traveller, and the Dark, provenient from the moon Io's core, for with both of them they would pratically have control over life and death. They were, however, unable to control either of them, which resulted in them being expurged of Io when The Guardian and T-14 arrived in Io to destroy the Black Garden, source of the Dark's power.

In Destiny 2, the Vex would later return, this time in a moon of Uranus, Nesso. Nesso was a supposed to be completely lifeless, a cold rock orbiting Uranus, but the Vex used the little they knew about "the thing they cannot simulate", which is how they call the Light, to terraform the planet into a techno-organic stabilized enviroment. The Vex used the little they knew about The Traveller's architecture to replicate it into an orb they placed in the very center of Nesso, which allowed them to control the moon's terraforming process. When The Guardian and T-14 arrived in Nesso to save their friend Cayde-6 - whose ship Black Exodus was knocked-off the planet's orbit and fell into the moon when attacked by Vex anti-air artillery - they confronted Vex-Prime, and severely injuried him, also disabling the orb they used to manufacture the moon's enviroment. The Vex, however, would follow the duo back to Io, where the Belic Mind's main server was being hidden underground. The duo headed to the server to extract information about the Cabal ship known as the Almighty, and in the process T-14 was able to communicate with the Vex collective. Tracking them there, by realizing they did not harm their precious data network, the Vex peacefully left Io to return to their project in Nesso.
