{{Quote|[[Savathûn]] had rebelled against the Witness, and hid what might be our only chance of defeating it away on the planet Neptune.|Zavala}}
{{Quote|For so long, we saw [[Darkness|Dark]] and [[Light]] as antagonists. We believed we were the champions of the good because we wielded the Light. If these are not moral forces, if they are not opposites... what are they? At its root, the Traveler is a terraformer... a—a gardener. It generates natural life, physical transformation at a molecular scale across whole planets. This should have been our first hint. The domain of the Light is the domain of the physical. The Darkness... then is revealed in many facets. Dreams and nightmares. Emotions. Pain. Memory. The nature of Strand confirms this line of thinking. Darkness is something entirely apart from Light.|Osiris}}


The '''Invasion of Neptune''', also known as the '''Siege of Neomuna''' was a massive conflict that unfolded on [[Neomuna]] after the [[The Witness|Witness's]] attack on the [[Traveler]]. After communing with it and discovering the location of [[the Veil]], a [[paracausal]] object related to the Traveler, the Witness ordered [[Calus]], its newest disciple, and his [[Shadow Legion|forces]] to invade [[Neptune]] and secure the Veil. This prompts [[Osiris]] to stow away on one of the Shadow Legion’s [[Astaroth Rex II|carriers]] in order to stop the invasion. [[The Guardian]] follows him on orders from [[Ikora Rey]], and after sabotaging their carriers, The Guardian and Osiris make their way to Neomuna via [[Drop Pod]]s. From there, they would befriend and ally the [[Cloud Strider]]s [[Nimbus]] and [[Rohan]], and along with the [[Imperial Cabal]], would work to stop both Calus and the Witness.

After the defeat of Calus, the conflict would spill over into the flagship of the Witness, [[Essence]], as a team of 6 [[Guardians]] would confront [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain]] and permanently put an end to both him and his haunting of the [[CloudArk]].

===First Contact and Discovery of the Radial Mast===
===First Contact and Discovery of the Radial Mast===
The Neomuni would have their first face-to face encounter with the brunt of The Witness's forces when [[Emperor Calus]] landed his ship, the [[Typhon Imperator]], into [[Ahimsa Park]]. The sector was quickly overrun by Vex and [[Cabal]] alike and the [[Cloud Strider]]s on duty, [[Rohan]] and [[Nimbus]], retreated to [[Striders' Gate]]. The Cabal were followed shortly by The Guardian and Osiris, the former landing in [[Ahimsa Park]] and the latter landing in [[Striders' Gate]]. The Guardian would cut their way though the Cabal forces to Striders' Gate where they would encounter [[Strand]] for the very first time. The Guardian would use this new found power to destroy the Cabal that would land in Striders' Gate but would not be able to reach Osiris before they were exhausted.

Luckily, Osiris would be saved by the Cloud Striders after fighting off some Cabal and a [[Tormentor]]. The Cloud Striders would then spend the next few hours destroying some of The Witness's forces before regrouping at Striders' Gate. After discussion with Osiris and allowing him to stay within the [[Hall of Heroes]], the Cloud Striders would agree to help The Guardian reach The Veil. The Guardian would fight their way through [[Zephyr Concourse]] and into the [[Esi Terminal]] where they would encounter more Shadow Legion forces, this time with [[Light]] suppressing technology. The Guardian would defeat a Shadow Legion commander [[Vul'ourn, Shadow Legion Supply Master]] despite this only to realize that the area surrounding The Veil was firmly within Shadow Legion hands. The Guardian's [[Ghost]] would then transmit a conversation between The Witness and Emperor Calus, with The Witness ordering their disciple to destroy The Veil using the [[Radial Mast]] which was located deep within the Typhon Imperator. The Guardian would retreat from the area and regroup with their allies to discuss further plans.

Some time during these events, the Vex, lead by [[Parthenios, Drifting Mind]], managed to take control of the CloudArk's power supply, inhibiting the Neomuni's ability to effectively defend their homeland.
