===The Collapse===
The [[Collapse]] began before the ''Yang Liwei'' could leave the system. [[Rasputin]] attempted to conscript it and its weaponry in defense of the Solar System, but the ship was intercepted and trapped by a [[Pyramids|Pyramid]]. Intuiting that the entity was targeting the Traveler, Captain Li broadcast a declaration of neutrality in an attempt to buy its indifference. As she did so, the Traveler intervened by sending out a beam of [[Light]] to push back the Darkness, but failed to fully repel it. The immense energy of the interaction between the two paracausal entities resulted in the formation of a kugelblitz, which swallowed the ''Yang Liwei''.<ref name= "CI/><ref name="CIII"/><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Cosmogyre_IV|Cosmogyre IV]]''</ref>

*The ship's log mentions the amount of people and the numbers per gender, but it does not explain what type of lifeforms the "485 other" were, as only the [[Awoken]] arrived in the [[Distributary]].
