It was the lead ship of [[Project Amrita]], a colony mission intended to find and settle a habitable planet where humans could live without the [[Traveler]]'s involvement in their affairs. It was captained by [[Alis Li]] and had a crew complement of 900. [[Mara Sov]], [[Uldwyn Sov]], and their mother [[Osana Sov]] were all part of the crew. In addition to its crew, it carried 40,000 colonists in stasis: 30,111 women, 10,295 men, and 485 other.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Brephos I]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Cosmogyre III]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Brephos I]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ecstatiate III]]''</ref> | ||

The [[Collapse]] began before the ''Yang Liwei'' could leave the system. [[Rasputin]] attempted to conscript it and its weaponry in defense of the Solar System, but the ship was intercepted and trapped by a vessel of the [[Darkness]]. Intuiting that the entity was targeting the Traveler, Captain Li broadcast a declaration of neutrality in an attempt to buy its indifference. As she did so, the Traveler intervened by sending out a beam of [[Light]] to push back the Darkness, but failed to fully repel it. The immense energy of the interaction between the two paracausal entities resulted in the formation of a kugelblitz, which swallowed the ''Yang Liwei''.<ref name = "Cosmogyre I/><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Cosmogyre III]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Cosmogyre IV]]''</ref> | |||
In the pocket universe within the kugelblitz, the ''Yang Liwei'' manifested fully intact in the [[Distributary]], though planted shield-first in the bedrock.

They named the tower the Shipspire, and the technology it carried formed the foundation of the new Awoken society.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ecstatiate II]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Fideicide I]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Fideicide II]]''</ref> | |||
