Neomuna would remain completely unknown to both the surviving denizens of Earth and the Awoken of the Reef, opting to remain isolated for their own safety. Even after learning of survivors on Earth, the citizens of Neomuna understood that beings wielding strange paracausal powers existed there, called [[Warlords]], who oppressed the few survivors. For this reason, the Neomuni opted to refrain from reaching out to the people of Earth, fearing the conflicts of Earth would reach their safe city, even after the Warlords had been toppled by the rise of more noble Risen of the [[Iron Lords]] and therefore becoming ignorant of the current generations of [[Guardians]]. Likewise, they are aware of the existence and origins of the Exo, initially believing that they went extinct after the Collapse, again ignorant of many existing within the Last City on Earth. To further help defend themselves, the Neomuni developed a means to cybernetically augment a human, granting them heightened abilities at the cost of reducing their lifespan, the [[Cloud Striders]], who would go on to be the main protectors of Neomuna. The main foe the Cloud Striders would face in protecting Neomuna would be the [[Vex]], but they would expect to one day face against the Lightbearers should they actually find Neomuna. | Neomuna would remain completely unknown to both the surviving denizens of Earth and the Awoken of the Reef, opting to remain isolated for their own safety.

Centuries later, things would change dramatically for the people of Neomuna. They would detect the return of the Pyramids to the Sol system, and as a precaution, the people of Neomuna put themselves in a cryogenic slumber within the [[CloudArk]] to prevent casualties during what was predicted to be a second Collapse. As luck would have it, war came to the doorstep of Neomuna, as the city would come under assault from the [[Shadow Legion]]. In service to [[The Witness]], the true cause of the Collapse, they sought a relic called [[The Veil]], which was entombed beneath their city. The Cloud Striders now fought against the Shadow Legion, but despite their efforts, they were losing ground. However, the latest Cloud Striders, [[Rohan]] and [[Nimbus]], would gain the aid of the Guardian and [[Osiris]] who had come to prevent the Shadow Legion from acquiring The Veil. Despite being skeptical of the Lightbearers, the Cloud Striders agreed to join forces with the Guardians to save their city. | Centuries later, things would change dramatically for the people of Neomuna.

At an unknown point in time after the Arrival, [[Asher Mir]] followed the Vex to Neomuna through the [[Vex Network|Nexus]]. His appearance would be noted by archivist [[Quinn Laghari]] due to his name appearing in cryptic references within the network, but Asher himself was either unable or unwilling to inform the outside world of his findings. He remained in Neomuna's sector after the Shadow Legion's invasion to monitor the Guardian's [[Partition|excursions]] into the network, though [[NODE.OVRD.AVALON|circumstances]] would later force him to flee back to Earth. | |||
Despite Rohan sacrificing his life in the fight, the Cloud Striders' alliance with the Guardians would bear fruit in keeping Neomuna and its people safe, defeating Emperor Calus and especially in protecting the CloudArk from the Vex. However, some Neomuni have displayed skepticism in whether the Guardians were different from the Warlords, as the Earth representatives objected to the label, clarifying that the Guardians have the [[Vanguard]] to provide checks and balances and a command structure but the same critics would point out the Vanguard's apparent lack of control over their membership and lack of accountability. To further add to the confusion, the civilian City Council of Neomuna are unsure how to legally classify the Guardians' Ghosts, especially the unpartnered Ghosts. | Despite Rohan sacrificing his life in the fight, the Cloud Striders' alliance with the Guardians would bear fruit in keeping Neomuna and its people safe, defeating Emperor Calus and especially in protecting the CloudArk from the Vex.
