Besides launching colony ships, the Cosmodrome was vital for its [[Planetary Defense Network|planetary array]] which maintained contact with the colonies, and for housing the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], who was responsible for protecting [[Earth]] from outside threats. Since the Collapse, the [[House of Devils]] made their [[The Devils' Lair (location)|lair]] here,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeDaevD7cEo '''YouTube''' - ''Official Destiny Strike Gameplay: The Devils' Lair'']</ref> with a [[Hive]] invasion force fighting to establish a beachhead for a pending invasion of Earth | Besides launching colony ships, the Cosmodrome was vital for its [[Planetary Defense Network|planetary array]] which maintained contact with the colonies, and for housing the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], who was responsible for protecting [[Earth]] from outside threats.

Every location in Old Russia, including the [[Plaguelands]], lies within the confines of the Cosmodrome's [[The Wall|vast security wall]], with the exception of [[Gateway]] and [[Felwinter Peak]].<ref name = "Beta">'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''Destiny: Beta PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> The ruins of the Cosmodrome tell some of the history of the Collapse: hundreds of civilian vehicles are seen outside the facility's walls trying to get in, with, with tanks parked on the opposite side of the entrance. The [[Devil's Spire|colony ship]] that stands as the centerpiece of the area had been one of the last ships attempting to escape the Darkness, but failed to launch due to a [[The Blast|fuel line explosion]].<ref name="CosRideAlong"/>. [[Spinmetal]] can be found in lots of place through the Cosmodrome and can be used to upgrade gear or a [[Guardian]] might give some to their [[Faction]] to upgrade their [[Reputation]] with a [[Faction]] | |||
