The '''Ishtar Collective''' (referred to by Clovis Bray as '''ICoV''', presumably 'Ishtar Collective of Venus') was a [[Golden Age]] organization dedicated to scientific advancement. The Collective built the [[Ishtar Academy]], a famed center of research and learning, on [[Venus]], and extensively studied the planet's [[Vex]] [[Vault of Glass (location)|ruins]].

Subject 12 was a live specimen of a Vex [[Vex#Biology|operation platform]] that was extensively studied by [[Maya Sundaresh]], Dr. [[Shim]], [[Chioma Esi]], and [[Duane-McNiadh]].
