With the latest dlc focusing on the hive i have become intrigued by the origin of these aliens. I know people usually say that the story in destiny is found in the grimore so began to read it but for the life of me i cannot find where the hive come from. All i found was exposition, and not much of it. So i ask the community because i am human and might have missed it.
Where do the hive come from? Is there a homeworld? Is there a history? Was there a war for the moon? Who fought in it? Did we just concede peacefully?
I have similar questions about the other alien races but I'm begining to think the reason we don't feel like were immersed in a rich world full of history is because there is no lore.

Yes there is a story, but it's not a complete one. Like an episode of Lost, Destiny provides more questions than answers. And what you are talking about is lore, not story. The story in Destiny involves investigating Hive activity and thwarting their plan to weaken the traveller. The second part has you answer the stranger's call on Venus to learn about the danger of the Vex which eventually leads you to the Black Garden on Mars. The story is mainly told, rather poorly on my opinion, in the loading screens so it's easy to miss.
