It's not just the Darkness ones (Destiny)

I think the VEX are non-native to the Sol system, but knew this day was coming. They knew the darkness would be here, be weakened here, and that would be the opportunity for them to integrate with it.

If they had spawned here, and left millennia ago, why not Vexform the whole system? Why wait until now? They needed the Traveler to come and work her magic. She was the bait. Add in a surprise attack just as the Darkness breaches the system to ensure humanity's forces are weakened enough to stop but not destroy the Darkness and then they could make their move.

We assume this is the Vex and darkness first encounter, but it isn't. They have iterated just like the Exo Stranger until they found a way to influence the darkness. What the players experience now is an informed Vex mind implementing a long term plan with future knowledge.

If only the Exo Stranger would stop interfering!
