The Veil somewhat resembles a plant or jellyfish, with a bulbous, cup-shaped main body, branching root-like tendrils that can rapidly grow and generate an indestructible dome, and a large, brightly glowing white hole underneath. Its upper surface has a large circular opening, within which is what appears to be an energy field decorated with intricate blue and purple patterns.

According to [[Rasputin]], the Veil is connected to the [[the Traveler|Traveler]], and upon entering close proximity to the Veil, [[Ghost]] mentions that it gives him a feeling which reminds him of the Traveler. However, it is elsewhere described as an "artifact of [[Darkness]]"<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/roving?highlight=artifact+of+darkness</ref>, and its presence in Neomuna suffuses the city with [[Strand]] energy - Strand being an elemental manifestation of the Darkness. Furthermore, the [[Radial Mast]] is stated by Ghost to resonate with [[Light]], and Ghost himself is later used by the [[the Witness|Witness]] to interface with the Veil. Collectively, these facts indicate that the Veil is  closely tied to the Darkness, but that it may also have some relationship to the Light and the Traveler.

During the [[Collapse]], the Disciple of the Witness known as Nezarec led the [[Black Fleet]]'s assault on Earth, and managed to secure the Veil on his [[Pyramid]] (it is currently unknown exactly how he came to be in possession of the Veil). However, he was betrayed by [[Savathûn]], who killed him, cursed his remains and spirited the Veil away to Neptune.

The Veil would later play a central role in the founding of [[Neomuna]], serving as the main power source for the city and the basis of its [[CloudArk]] infrastructure. An [[Ishtar Collective]] facility was constructed around it, to study it and keep it safe.
