During the Golden Age, [[Rasputin]] and the [[Ishtar Collective]] created an AI called [[Soteria]] using [[Vex]] technology. She was designed to simulate deep space travel and extrasolar colonization, as part of Clovis Bray's ECHO project.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/tm-moss-custom-duster</ref> Shortly before the Collapse, Soteria detected the presence of the [[Black Fleet]] outside Sol, and was unable to devise a trajectory that would allow a hypothetical launch to evade the Pyramids and survive unassisted.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/terminus-horizon</ref><ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/wilderflight</ref> | During the Golden Age, [[Rasputin]] and the [[Ishtar Collective]] created an AI called [[Soteria]] using [[Vex]] technology.

Rejecting orders from [[Clovis Bray I]] to stand down, Soteria placed subminds of herself inside a large number of ECHO colony ships and forced them to launch into space with supplies, colonists, and crew members on-board, before she was trapped in the [[Ares Spire]] on [[Mars]]. Most of the ECHO ships were destroyed in their flight, but one was caught by Neptune's gravity well and crashed into the ice giant's surface.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset</ref> Sometime later | Rejecting orders from [[Clovis Bray I]] to stand down, Soteria placed subminds of herself inside a large number of ECHO colony ships and forced them to launch into space with supplies, colonists, and crew members on-board, before she was trapped in the [[Ares Spire]] on [[Mars]].

The ''Exodus Indigo'' made it to Neptune, where its crew (which included many notable Ishtar Collective scientists) discovered Soteria, along with a paracausal entity known as the [[the Veil|Veil]] which had been previously hidden on the planet by [[Savathûn]]. The colonists also encountered the [[Vex]], who were prevented from making a direct assault by the paracausal influence of the Veil, but managed to isolate the colony from outside assistance by weaving a simulation into Neptune's magnetic field, concealing any evidence of its existence. | |||
Interestingly, Rasputin would hold a codename called "Nefele Stronghold" within his list of known Human colonies and settlements, suggesting he was somehow alerted to Neomuna's creation.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/evidence-board-report-transcript-wound</ref> | |||
