Four years after the events of the SIVA Crisis, the Fallen returned to the Cosmodrome, most notably members of the [[House of Dusk]] and [[House of Salvation]]. Two hidden sects of Hive, lead by [[Navôta, Eir Spawn]] and her rival [[Ak-Baral, Rival of Navôta|Ak-Baral]], had also established a presence, replacing the [[Hidden Swarm]] forces that originally occupied certain areas. To counteract this, the quarantine in the Cosmodrome was lifted, and [[Shaw Han]]'s fireteam was the first to be deployed in the region. | |||

*The Cosmodrome returned temporarily in the Quest [[The Lost Cryptarch]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' ''[[Forsaken]]'', which was made inaccessible with the weekly reset on November 27th. The player traveled here to track down the killer of [[Master Ives]] and reclaim the [[Exotic]] [[machine gun]] [[Thunderlord]]. It also featured a [[Kikliss, Murderer|boss]] which spawned in the same way that Riksis did in the 2013 Gameplay Demo, through a hole in the wall. | *The Cosmodrome returned temporarily in the Quest [[The Lost Cryptarch]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' ''[[Forsaken]]'', which was made inaccessible with the weekly reset on November 27th.

**In ''[[Beyond Light]]'' the Cosmodrome was reintroduced as a permanent destination in Destiny 2, the second location from the original destiny to do so with the [[Ocean of Storms]] in ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' being the first. | |||
