How did humanity survive the first collapse knowing what we know now?
From the very first moments of Destiny 1, we're told that the darkness had found us at one point, enclosed on the Traveler and almost took out humanity as a whole during what was known as the Collapse. But the Traveler pushed back and forced the darkness away. We know these references are most likely to the black fleet at the point, but I'm just a little bit confused because of what we know now about the black fleet. Massive and over-powering. How were the ships pushed away from us so far? How did the Witness essentially go dormant for centuries when they knew where the Traveler was all this time? I'm just curious about these things, because simply knowing the power of the Witness, the disciples, these ships, the darkness, I'm baffled as to how humanity survived the fleet the first time and then somehow veiled ourselves from them for all this time.

We don’t know many of the details surrounding the Collapse. We know that the Traveler unleashed an attack so powerful it put itself into a coma and splintered its Light into Ghosts. We know Savathûn killed Nezerac, stole the Veil and hid it on Neptune. We also know Savathûn deceived the Witness to some capacity to keep the Traveler safe, most likely lying about the fact it was still alive. We also know that the waves of Light the Traveler emitted when it woke up during the Red War activated the Black Fleet once more. It would’ve nice if this year could’ve seen more details about the Collapse being discussed.
