As detailed in the Lore book [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]], Mara and the other firstborn Awoken were originally the human crew and passengers of the Exodus colony ship ''Yang Liwei'', which had left Earth immediately prior to the Collapse on a mission to start an extrasolar human colony free of the Traveler's influence; she was accompanied on the mission by her mother Osana and brother Uldwyn. Her role on the ship was that of Auturge 3rd Class, essentially a maintenance worker tasked with taking care of the technical, biological and human components of the colony ship's environment. Although she was supposed to report to her superior in the event of a problem that needed fixing, she made a habit of quietly fixing them herself. This caused her to gain renown among the passengers of the colony ship, who would leave gifts for her in thanks.<ref name="CI">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Brephos_I|Brephos I]]''</ref> | |||

During the Collapse, the ''Yang Liwei'' was engulfed by a singularity made by the battle between the Traveler and the Black Fleet. Mara was the first one to be engulfed by the singularity, and thus she was given the power to create the rules and laws of the pocket universe she found herself in. She chose for herself and the other Awoken to exist as embodied entities, and she and the other Awoken were reborn within the new universe on a planet known as the [[Distributary]]. | |||
Mara Sov used her influence amongst the Awoken to create the Eccaleists, a group formed around the belief that the Awoken were born from conflict and that one day, that conflict would have to be resolved. Opposite to the [[Eccaleists]] were the [[Sanguine]], who believed that they had been created by a gift and owed nothing. These conflicting ideologies led to the [[Theodicy War]]. When [[Alis Li]] -- the first Awoken Queen -- asked Mara if she began the Theodicy War, she denied it. This was a lie. Mara allowed the War so the Awoken wouldn't feel comfortable in the Distributary and would be willing to leave it with her. | Mara Sov used her influence amongst the Awoken to create the Eccaleists, a group formed around the belief that the Awoken were born from conflict and that one day, that conflict would have to be resolved.
