The station's purpose is unknown, as any records of its existence did not survive the [[Collapse]], but it contains "keyholes" that seemingly led to other dimensions. <ref name="GFDO"/> [[Crota, Son of Oryx]], captured Cocytus after the Collapse, seemingly to use the station and the keyholes within for his own ends.

The station was rediscovered by [[Dead Orbit]] who gave it its current designation and kept it a secret from the [[Tower]].<ref name="GFDO"/> Sixty one days later a subsequent expedition there ended in failure: an [[Awoken]] ship from the [[Reef]] crippled the expedition's ship, the ''Sophia'', and exploration of A-113's keyholes rendered most of the crew insane.

After Ceres was annihilated in the [[Reef Wars]], Reef forces moved Cocytus into a heliocentric orbit. Wary of the potential threat, they established an armed containment perimeter around the station and planted warheads aboard so it could be destroyed at a moment's notice.<ref name = "JWC"/> | After Ceres was annihilated in the [[Reef Wars]], Reef forces moved Cocytus into a heliocentric orbit.

When Crota was destroyed by [[The Guardian]], Cocytus's portals ceased to lead to his throne, and instead somehow fell into the possession of the [[Nine]]. Five of the Nine began using Cocytus as a laboratory, using the station's third portal to convert their dark matter into "regular" matter, with the ultimate goal of producing living organisms from scratch. While the Nine could create (with increasing sophistication) basic atoms, crystals, and organic precursors, their two attempts at viable life failed almost immediately, and the portal fell mostly into disuse. Each sending was recorded by the Awoken forces still containing the station. Their own probes, sent through the same portal, immediately ceased to exist on crossing, presumably transmuted likewise into dark matter.<ref name = "JWC"/><ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | When Crota was destroyed by [[The Guardian]], Cocytus's portals ceased to lead to his throne, and instead somehow fell into the possession of the [[Nine]].

Some time afterwards, [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil|Lavinia]] arrived at Cocytus seeking the Nine, pursued by the Reef military. Given no other avenue of escape, she leaped through one of the gates, and was transmuted into dark matter, her consciousness entering communion with the Nine. | Some time afterwards, [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil|Lavinia]] arrived at Cocytus seeking the Nine, pursued by the Reef military.
