Forget about strectching story in a game with your opinions!
Try observing concept art, there is so many concept art that no one brings up or cares!
Like try to observe all the art in this artists profile, you will find art you probably never seen beofre, and there is more concept art you never seen before, just try surfing the web or images.
Example: https://www.iamag.co/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/destiny-61.jpg
However, when you are looking at concept art for the first time, don't immeditately make yourself look silly by jumping straight to conclusions, you need to really think when, how, what is the concept art, like look at small details and try to prove yoursef wrong like thoses ships are probably not early cabal ships, because the symbol is really just a oblisk over a greek temple, and it must have been made when they were confused about the game's setting or story.
