Other personalities from the gaming industry also joined in. Xbox’s social media manager, Josh Stein, for example, posted a picture of the laughing Commander Zavala.
Even former Bungie community manager Deej chimed in under the news. He linked streamer Maximum Stack and jokingly advised him to contact lawyers, to which he replied with a proposal to send a raid team to the White House.
These references also existed: However, Destiny was not the only franchise that was often mentioned in the comments. Memes related to the popular comics and films “Guardians of the Galaxy” were also frequently present, as well as jokes about Star Wars and suggestions that the Guardians should please be renamed to “Storm Troopers.”
So if you absolutely want to become “real” Guardians in real life, you just have to emigrate to the USA and somehow manage to land a spot at the US Space Force.
However, it is unlikely that this will give you control over the powers of Light or Darkness.
The US Space Force has announced that members of the organization will officially be called “Guardians.” Coincidentally, that is also the name of the players from a well-known first-person shooter Destiny.
What is the US Space Force? It is a military branch of the US Armed Forces and thus the sixth branch of the military. It originated from the Air Force Space Command, which was originally founded in 1982 and will take over its duties in the future.
This includes, for example, the construction and launch of communications satellites, the management of various military bases in Greenland, Guam, Alaska, or Hawaii, and “conducting space warfighting operations.”
What does the Force have to do with Destiny? Well, the official Twitter account of the US Space Force announced that members of the military department now have an official name: Guardians.
The name was founded on the motto of the Air Force Space Command, from which the Space Force originated: “Guardians of the High Frontier.”
However, it is also the title of the player characters and many NPCs from Bungie’s first-person shooters: Destiny and Destiny 2. Accordingly, memes and images related to Destiny piled up under the original tweet announcing it.
Many big streamers and YouTubers also found the new name for the members of the US Space Force extremely funny and joined in the memes on Twitter. The well-known streamer DrLupo linked the official Destiny account and asked, “Hey, is that you????”:
The developers are joining in
What did Bungie employees say? But the developers at Bungie also had their fun with the new name of the Space Force members. Bungie’s CEO reacted to the news with an “OMG” and posted the opening video of Destiny.
Community manager dmg04 also wrote, “This can’t be real” and posted a meme under the original tweet from the US Space Force:
