Can we make any educated guess as to how long the various aliens have been plaguing us? I'm guessing the fallen were the most recent, the cabal next, the hive, then the vex oldest of all.
The fallen have ships and raiding parties
The cabal have forward bases, bunkers, and an occasional fortress
The hive have ripped the moon down to its core
The vex have transformed mercury, parts of Venus, and started on Mars.
Amirightoramiright?
So do you think in all your lore wisdom you could maybe just try to guess when they all showed up? Judging by the rust, the cabal couldn't have been on mars more than 5 years or so. And by the looks of the sloppily arranged banners and lack of skulls, the fallen showed up... What... 1-2 years ago?
I'm guessing the hive have been at it for 1,000 years or +, since your ghost says 'first human to set foot on the moon in centuries'.
What's your guess for the vex?

The Vex have been here since before the Golden Age, they just weren't active. The Hive were the main force during the Collapse, as well as the Vex. The Fallen arrived in the wake of the Collapse, very soon after the Darkness had retreated. The Cabal probably haven't been here too long, but they stay mostly on Mars, so we don't know too much
-
Years? What's your guesstimate?
-
Since the Collapse, it's been a good few centuries. The Fallen have been here since then, and the Cabal not as long. The Hive arrived with the Collapse, and the Vex have been here for billions of years, only waking slightly during the Golden Age
-
I do know that the cabal arrived after the reef wars
-
How so?
-
Well I might not be completely sure on the timeline and everything but it's in the game informer story about the story so far
-
I'm not seeing anything in there to suggest that. Do you remember where you found it?
-
I was wrong it was actually after the battle of twilight gap kinda maybe even during
-
It all depends on whether Twilight Gap or the Great Disaster happened first. Wei Ning, famous for fighting the Cabal, was killed during the Great Disaster, so that kinda puts a timeline in things
