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 [[Pyramid]]. 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= "CI/><ref name="CIII"/><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Cosmogyre_IV|Cosmogyre IV]]''</ref> | The [[Collapse]] began before the ''Yang Liwei'' could leave the system.

In the pocket universe within the kugelblitz, the ''Yang Liwei'' manifested fully intact in the [[Distributary]], though planted shield-first in the bedrock. However, its crew and colonists had been sublimated into pure potential, and when they reincarnated themselves as [[Awoken]], they had forgotten nearly all their history. They named the tower the Shipspire, and the technology it carried formed the foundation of the new Awoken society. Nine members of its 900 crew could not be accounted for, however.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Ecstasiate_II|Ecstatiate II]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Fideicide_I|Fideicide I]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Fideicide_II|Fideicide II]]''</ref> | In the pocket universe within the kugelblitz, the ''Yang Liwei'' manifested fully intact in the [[Distributary]], though planted shield-first in the bedrock.
