'''Neptune''' is the eighth planet of the [[Sol System]].

Neptune's [[Patrol]] area takes place in the city of Neomuna, with all its areas being part of it. There are three main public areas, each with a [[Lost Sector]], five private areas explorable in Patrol, and a few more accessible in [[Mission]]s, including parts of the [[Vex Network]]. The main landing zone is [[Strider's Gate]], an enemy-free area where the location vendor, [[Nimbus]], is located.

The Vex constantly attempt to invade the city, and one of the public areas is designated weekly as the '''Vex Incursion Zone'''. In here, enemies will be more powerful, with [[Hobgoblin]]s constantly perched around the area on floating platforms. While it is harder to fight in the area, one can also find [[Strand]] sources that will empower a character with Strand abilities with a very short cooldown for 30 seconds. The highly rewarding [[Supernumerary Blitz]] Public Event can only happen there. | The Vex constantly attempt to invade the city, and one of the public areas is designated weekly as the '''Vex Incursion Zone'''.

According to an audio log recorded by [[Chioma Esi]], the surface of Neptune was terraformed at some point. | |||

Immediately prior to the Collapse, the [[Ishtar Collective]] AI [[Soteria]] foresaw the imminent arrival of the Black Fleet using its Vex-derived powers of prediction, and against the orders of [[Clovis Bray I]] prematurely launched a fleet of ECHO colony ships with a heading for the Andromeda Galaxy.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/long-arm</ref> Before Clovis Bray managed to contain the AI within a pillory installation and retake control of the fleet, Soteria split off a submind of itself within a single colony ship, which would eventually become caught in the gravity well of Neptune and crash into its surface.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset</ref> A second colony ship, the Exodus Indigo, would subsequently land on Neptune during the Collapse, bringing with it several high-ranking Ishtar Collective scientists such as [[Maya Sundaresh]] and [[Chioma Esi]]. These survivors of the Collapse would go on to found the city of [[Neomuna]], which remained hidden for centuries thanks in part to Neptune's erratic magnetic field. | Immediately prior to the Collapse, the [[Ishtar Collective]] AI [[Soteria]] foresaw the imminent arrival of the Black Fleet using its Vex-derived powers of prediction, and against the orders of [[Clovis Bray I]] prematurely launched a fleet of ECHO colony ships with a heading for the Andromeda Galaxy.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/long-arm</ref> Before Clovis Bray managed to contain the AI within a [[Ares Spire|pillory installation]] and retake control of the fleet, Soteria split off a submind of itself within a single colony ship, which would eventually become caught in the gravity well of Neptune and crash into its surface.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset</ref> A second colony ship, the [[Exodus Indigo]], would subsequently land on Neptune during the [[Collapse]] when following a distress signal broadcast by the submind, bringing with it several high-ranking Ishtar Collective scientists such as [[Maya Sundaresh]] and [[Chioma Esi]].

With the advent of [[Lightfall]], Neptune has become the subject of an invasion by the [[Shadow Legion]], seeking to take a paracausal artifact from Neomuna, known as the Veil. This artifact was hidden on Neptune by Savathûn, with the people of Neomuna using its powers to create technology such as the [[CloudArk]]. The shimmering city of Neomuna has now become scarred with damage, with an unquantified section of the city demolished by the parking of Calus's flagship, the [[Typhon Imperator]]. | With the advent of [[Lightfall]], Neptune has become the subject of an invasion by the [[Shadow Legion]], seeking to take a paracausal artifact from Neomuna, known as the Veil.

*It is not explained how Neomuna withstands the immense pressure of Neptune's interior. | |||
*The surface of Neptune is depicted in-game as "sand" made of diamonds and surrounded by an ocean, likely inspired by a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131203065217/http://www.astronomynow.com/news/n1001/21diamond/ theory] that Neptune's surface consists of liquid carbon and solid diamonds. | |||
