*According to Rob Adams, Bungie's Lead World Artist for ''Destiny'', the colony ship prominently displayed at the center of the [[Cosmodrome]] actually contains hundreds of mummified colonists who perished when the ship failed to launch. The reason the ship did not launch was that its fuel lines, located in [[The Blast]], ruptured and exploded during the chaos of the Collapse, preventing the ship from fueling properly.<ref name="CosRideAlong"/> | *According to Rob Adams, Bungie's Lead World Artist for ''Destiny'', the colony ship prominently displayed at the center of the [[Cosmodrome]] actually contains hundreds of mummified colonists who perished when the ship failed to launch.

*Bungie originally intended the colony ships to contain machines called SMILE (Suspended Mobility Interplanetary Length Expedition) Pods, which would have held individual colonists in suspended animation.

*A few SMILE pods remain inside of The Devils' Spire. One of these pods is scannable; Ghost will tell the player that he had attempted to awaken the hero sleeping within the pod, but said individual claimed that he'd seen enough wars already. This might be a possible reference to Halo's Master Chief, whom is first introduced being awoken from a similar stasis pod. | |||
