The Defixios were first discovered by raiders in an archaeological dig site on Ceres known as Villa Irillia: the former home of the aforementioned Orokin couple. Plundered from the Villa, these relics were shipped offworld aboard a Grineer Galleon.

The power of the Defixios would ultimately cause the Galleon to break down and be set adrift outside Ceres' orbit, with the region becoming known as the Abyssal Zone.
In a rare showing of solidarity, the six Syndicates (, , , ,, and ) would all send out a convert squad of Operatives to recover the relics from the ship. However, due to the curses' pervading animosity, their morale would ultimately break down, and they would be stranded on the Galleon.
The is then tasked with clearing the Galleon of the Grineer, and recovering the remaining Defixios, as well as the stranded operatives. When approaching a nearby operative, they will offer the Tenno their targeting telemetry, marking the location of a nearby Defixio on their map before leaving.
