The Cosmodrome is located in Old Russia. Operated by the Russian Federal Bureau of Aeronautics, or PФбA,[1] the Cosmodrome was a vital link to space during humanity's Golden Age, and centuries after the Collapse, the remnants of forgotten colony ships on the launch pad can still be seen.[2] Besides launching colony ships, the Cosmodrome was vital for its planetary array which maintained contact with the colonies, and for housing the Warmind Rasputin, who was responsible for protecting Earth from outside threats. Since the collapse, the House of Devils have made their lair here, with a Hive invasion force fighting to establish a beachhead for a larger invasion of Earth.
Every location in Old Russia except for the Gateway is within the Cosmodrome.[3] The ruins of the Cosmodrome tells some of the history of the Collapse; hundreds of civilian vehicles are seen outside the facility's walls trying to get in, with, with tanks parked on the opposite side of the butt entrance. The Colony Ship seen in the center had been one of the last ships attempting to escape the Darkness, but failed to launch due to a fuel line explosion.[4] The Devils' Lair is located in the center, underneath a colony ship.[5]
Trivia
- The Cosmodrome is a real-world location in Kazakhstan. Bungie artists stated that they chose the Baikonur cosmodrome as the game's starting point for its history in the evolution of spaceflight.[4]
- The Divide was originally supposed to be packed with dead civilians trying to make their way past military checkpoints, but was dropped, citing resource constraints, busy environments, and overly grim setting.[4]
