Lore[]
- Main article: Saya's Vigil
Gara, the Glass Warrior, served the Unum, a mysterious and reclusive being whose Orokin Tower-body was beset by a massive Sentient. This Sentient, whose powers waned between dusk and dawn, would attack the Unum's Tower by nightfall and retreat by morning. Forbidden to attack the Sentient at the peak of its power, Gara would search for the colossal being during the daylight. To aid in her search, the Unum seeded Temple Kuva to the wildlife, which would connect their consciousness and allow the Unum to discover the Sentient's hiding place.
However, the Sentient captured the fauna and discovered it could use the Kuva to restore its long-lost ability to reproduce. Thus, its attacks escalated, forcing Gara to take decisive action. Carrying a bomb in her chest, Gara gave her life to destroy the Sentient as it descended on her mortally wounded body, detonating the bomb and scattering the Sentient across the land that would be known as the Plains of Eidolon, ending the threat to the tower. However, the threat of the Sentient still lingers, taking the form of the mindless Eidolons that wander the plains at night in search of its missing fragments to become whole once more.
In present day, the Ostron researcher Onkko from Cetus disappears in an effort to prevent Gara from falling into Grineer hands. His wife Saya accepts the Tenno's help to find Onkko, coming across a case locked with a glass key. While finding the glass fragments needed to open the case, the Lotus performs a harmonics sweep on the glass key and discovers a blueprint for Gara hidden within.
