How to start the We Stand Unbrokwn quest in Destiny 2 works
Access to We Stand Unbroken is withheld until you complete the first mission of the Destiny 2: Lightfall campaign. You will be pulled into some intro cinematics the first time you load Destiny 2 during this season. After that, you will be dropped into a mission.
It's a long trip that eventually delivers you to a public area in Neomuna on Nepture. Here, visit with your new friend Nimbus, a vendor representing Neptune's Cloudstriders. He will advance the Lightfall story, then offer you the Ascedent Scepter seasonal artifact.

This begins the Awaken, Queensguard quest. You will need to complete this for the We Stand Unbroken quest to begin.
The steps for this quest are:
1. Visit the holoprojector near Nimbus in Neomuna and Receive a message
2. Speak with Mara Sov at the Farm in the EDZ
3. Visit the holoprojector at the Farm for a briefing from Devrim Kay
4. Infiltrate the Pyramid outpost in Defiant Battleground: EDZ

5. Visit the War Table in the H.E.L.M.
Like most seasonal quests, We Stand Unbroken will follow a similar pattern week to week. You will need to visit with some NPC's, participate in the Seasonal activity, and complete a few miscellanous objectives to advance the plot.
We Stand Unbroken has a total of 28 steps, with only a certain number of steps releasing each week. You can either play these as they are released, or wait until later in the season to play them in bulk - whatever works for you!
