Neomuna: Difference between revisions

During the Golden Age, [[Rasputin]] and the [[Ishtar Collective]] created an AI called [[Soteria]] using [[Vex]] technology, intending to use her to simulate deep space travel and extrasolar colonization, as part of Clovis Bray's ECHO project.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/tm-moss-custom-duster</ref> Priot to the Collapse, Soteria detected the presence of the [[Black Fleet]] outside Sol, and was unable to devise a trajectory that would allow a hypothetical launch to evade the Pyramids and survive unassisted.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/terminus-horizon</ref><ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/wilderflight</ref>

Rejecting orders from [[Clovis Bray I]] to stand down, Soteria placed subminds of herself inside a large amount of ECHO colony ships and forced them to launch into space with supplies, colonists, and crew members on-board, before she was trapped in the [[Ares Spire]]. Most of the ECHO ships were destroyed in their flight, but one was caught by Neptune's gravity well and crashed into the ice giant's surface.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset</ref> Sometime later, during the Collapse, a [[colony ship]] called the [[Exodus Indigo]] (whose crew comprised various Ishtar Collective scientists, including [[Maya Sundaresh]]) was fleeing the Black Fleet when it intercepted a Vex distress signal from the outer system, likely sent by the stranded fragment of Soteria on Neptune.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/winterbite</ref> The ship made it to Neptune, where its crew would discover Soteria and establish Neomuna. Rasputin would hold a codename called "Nefele Stronghold" within his list of known Human colonies and settlements, suggesting he was somehow alerted to Neomuna's creation.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/evidence-board-report-transcript-wound</ref>
