Just saw concept art of the cabal exclusion zone over mars, it looks like a borg armarda but with triangles instead of cubes. Looking at that powerhouse I can't help but wonder, how the -blam!- did our guardians make it past the exclusion zone on our first trip to mars? Ghost even says "Nothing gets through their exclusion zone." There's no cutscene or anything, we just pop onto the planet like the cabal were all on their lunchbreak.
Anyone got an explanation for this?

"Exclusion" is related to "exclusive", so it's really a fancy way of saying "the cabal claim this area for ourselves and ourselves alone." It doesn't mean impossible for others to enter, just VERY difficult. Of course... A three hundred year old war or what have you with homicidal alien battle droids who teleport is going to render orbital security rather irrelevant I think. That and guardians are basically space Jesus...
