'''Neptune''' is the eighth planet of the [[Sol System]]. | '''Neptune''' is the eighth planet of the [[Sol System]]. An ice giant, it has fourteen moons, including the [[Hive]]-occupied moon of [[Nereid]] <ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The Fourth Mark]]''</ref>, [[Triton]], where the [[Neomuni]] established a small radio telescope array and turned it into a listening post, and [[Thalassa]], an asteroid-like moon filled with caves and hills rich in phosphates and silicates. The hidden city of [[Neomuna]] is located on an ocean below its outer cloud layer. | ||

===The Collapse=== | |||
Immediately prior to the Collapse, the [[Ishtar Collective]] AI [[Soteria]] foresaw the imminent arrival of the Black Fleet using its Vex-derived powers of prediction, and against the orders of [[Clovis Bray I]] prematurely launched a fleet of ECHO colony ships with a heading for the Andromeda Galaxy.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/long-arm</ref> Before Clovis Bray managed to contain the AI within a pillory installation and retake control of the fleet, Soteria split off a submind of itself within a single colony ship, which would eventually become caught in the gravity well of Neptune and crash into its surface.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset</ref> A second colony ship, the Exodus Indigo, would subsequently land on Neptune during the Collapse, bringing with it several high-ranking Ishtar Collective scientists such as [[Maya Sundaresh]] and [[Chioma Esi]]. These survivors of the Collapse would go on to found the city of [[Neomuna]], which remained hidden for centuries thanks in part to Neptune's erratic magnetic field. | |||
At some point during the Collapse, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] killed the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]] [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] and stole the [[the Veil|Veil]] from his [[Pyramid]], hiding it away on Neptune so as to keep it from the Witness. As a result of her deception, the Witness chose to leave the Sol System and withdraw its Black Fleet to intergalactic space. | |||
===City Age=== | |||
After [[Empress Caiatl]] and the [[Imperial Cabal]] arrived in the system, increased Cabal traffic around Neptune's gravity well was detected with an unknown purpose.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Crow]]: [[Uldren Sov#Quote|"Huh, Cabal Cruisers keep returning to Neptune's orbital path. I wonder if they are hiding something in its gravity well."]]''</ref> | |||
Neptune would become a focus of Vanguard attention thanks to the conclusion of [[Season of Plunder]], as Osiris had gained visions of a city hidden upon its surface, gleaned from his time as the puppet of Savathûn. Despite all the searching performed during [[Season of the Seraph]], nothing was detected upon Neptune, until Rasputin confirmed the existence of the city, and that the information was kept hidden in a vault in the Cosmodrome. | |||
With the advent of [[Lightfall]], Neptune has become the subject of an invasion by the [[Shadow Legion]], seeking to take a paracausal artifact from Neomuna, known as the Veil. This artifact was hidden on Neptune by Savathûn, with the people of Neomuna using its powers to create technology such as the [[CloudArk]]. The shimmering city of Neomuna has now become scarred with damage, with an unquantified section of the city demolished by the parking of Calus's flagship, the [[Typhon Imperator]]. | |||
