| ==History==
| |
| 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<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Dark Within]]''</ref> and the [[House of Kings]] keeping watch from the old [[King's Watch|control center]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], [[The Ruling House]]''</ref> By the time of the [[SIVA Crisis]], the Kings have withdrawn and the [[Devil Splicers]] risen to power thanks to [[SIVA]], threatening the remaining Hive nests.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]]''</ref> Ultimately, with the defeat of [[Aksis, Archon Prime]] and all of his forces,<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> the Devils have pulled out of the Cosmodrome ''en masse'', apparently following a trend set by other Fallen Houses.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref> Following after, [[Zavala]] issued a quarantine forbidding any contact with the Cosmodrome. Only [[The Guardian]] returned during an investigation of [[Master Ives|Master Ives']] murder.
| |
| | |
| Four years after the events of the SIVA Crisis, the Fallen returned to the Cosmodrome, most notably members of the [[House of Dusk]] and [[House of Salvation]]. Two hidden sects of Hive, lead by [[Navôta, Eir Spawn]] and her rival [[Ak-Baral, Rival of Navôta|Ak-Baral]], had also established a presence, replacing the [[Hidden Swarm]] forces that originally occupied certain areas. To counteract this, the quarantine in the Cosmodrome was lifted, and [[Shaw Han]]'s fireteam was the first to be deployed in the region.

| *The Cosmodrome is based upon a [[Wikipedia:Baikonur Cosmodrome|real-world location]] in Kazakhstan. Bungie artists stated that they chose the Baikonur Cosmodrome as the game's starting point for its history in the evolution of spaceflight.<ref name="CosRideAlong">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcdw3LQAsCg&feature=youtu.be '''Ride Along - Cosmodrome''' - ''Bungie Commentary'']</ref> | | *The Cosmodrome is a [[Wikipedia:Baikonur Cosmodrome|real-world location]] in Kazakhstan.

| **However in '''Beyond Light''', the Cosmodrome was stated to be located in Siberia by [[Devrim Kay]] as new lights worked to acquire the [[Riskrunner]]. This may be an oversight, though the real-world [[wikipedia:Vostochny Cosmodrome|Vostochny Cosmodrome]] is also located in Siberia.
| |
| *[[The Divide]] was originally supposed to be packed with dead civilians trying to make their way past military checkpoints, but was dropped, citing resource constraints, busy environments, and overly grim setting.<ref name="CosRideAlong"/> | | *[[The Divide]] was originally supposed to be packed with dead civilians trying to make their way past military checkpoints, but was dropped, citing resource constraints, busy environments, and overly grim setting.<ref name="CosRideAlong"/> |
| *Based on the [http://ryansechrest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Destiny-Screen-Shot-92914-18.-28.png Director] image and real world maps, the Cosmodrome is located in the [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Caspianseamap.png northern part] of the Caspian Sea.
| |
| *The Cosmodrome returned temporarily in the Quest [[The Lost Cryptarch]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' ''[[Forsaken]]'', which was made inaccessible with the weekly reset on November 27th. The player traveled here to track down the killer of [[Master Ives]] and reclaim the [[Exotic]] [[machine gun]] [[Thunderlord]]. It also featured a [[Kikliss, Murderer|boss]] which spawned in the same way that Riksis did in the 2013 Gameplay Demo, through a hole in the wall.
| |
| **In ''[[Beyond Light]]'' the Cosmodrome was reintroduced as a permanent destination in Destiny 2, the second location from the original destiny to do so with the [[Ocean of Storms]] in ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' being the first.
