In our darkest days, Humans, Exos, and Awoken found the Traveler where it made its last stand, low above Earth, silent and immobile. We built this City – our last – within its protective Shield, fighting countless wars to keep its peace. From that dark age, the Guardians of the City were born.

Perhaps the "countless wars" to keep it's peace are actually internal wars and each of the factions represents a group of people who fought for control of the city at one point or another? If that were the case, then I could see the competitive multiplayer aspect being part of conflict between the various factions that control the city together. In this light, I'm thinking that the Guardians are a group made up of the best and brightest from all of the different factions who have been selected to help keep the peace and defend the city.
