| ==Overview== | | ==History== |
| Neptune's [[Patrol]] area takes place in the city of Neomuna, with all its areas being part of it. There are three main public areas, each with a [[Lost Sector]], five private areas explorable in Patrol, and a few more accessible in [[Mission]]s, including parts of the [[Vex Network]]. The main landing zone is [[Striders' Gate]], an enemy-free area where the location vendor, [[Nimbus]], is located. After completing the [[Lightfall]] [[story]], players can also land at the [[Hall of Heroes]] and at [[Límíng Harbor]].
| | During the Collapse, Humanity established a city on Neptune that was codenamed [[Nefele Stronghold]] by [[Rasputin]]. There, the Humans aboard the ECHO colony pods that were launched by [[Soteria]] survived the Collapse and managed to hide on the planet, eventually developing technology that surpassed that developed during the Golden Age before it, including nanotechnology enhancements that enabled the creation of [[Cloud Strider]]s. |

The AI creation of the [[Ishtar Collective]], [[Soteria]], chose an extra-solar site known as M31 to as one of the only safe spaces to send colony ships to prevent the extinction of humanity.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/long-arm</ref> As the AI was in the process of being digitally imprisoned by Clovis Bray for disobeying orders, Soteria split off a submind of itself, ensuring the colony ship could continue travelling through space without interference.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset</ref> This ship would eventually be caught in the gravity well of Neptune, crashing onto its surface. The explanation for Neomuna staying hidden on Neptune's surface would be detailed by the [[Neomuni]] archivist Quinn Laghari, stating that the erratic magnetic field of Neptune was perfect for hiding a city. |

In here, enemies will be more powerful, with [[Hobgoblin]]s constantly perched around the area on floating platforms. While it is harder to fight in the area, one can also find [[Strand]] sources that will empower a character with Strand abilities with a very short cooldown of 30 seconds. The highly rewarding [[Supernumerary Blitz]] Public Event can only happen there.

| ===Golden Age===
| |
| According to an audio log recorded by [[Chioma Esi]], the surface of Neptune was terraformed at some point.<ref name="PTV">'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[Parting the Veil (Mission)|Parting the Veil]]''</ref>

| |
|
| ===The Collapse===
| | The main enemy factions are the [[Shadow Legion]] and the [[Vex]] [[Sol Collective]], although the [[Taken]] appear in specific activities. |
| Immediately prior to the Collapse, the [[Ishtar Collective]] AI [[Soteria]] foresaw the imminent arrival of the Black Fleet using its Vex-derived powers of prediction, and against the orders of [[Clovis Bray I]] prematurely launched a fleet of ECHO colony ships with a heading for the Andromeda Galaxy.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Long Arm#Lore|Long Arm]]''</ref> Before Clovis Bray managed to contain the AI within a [[Ares Spire|pillory installation]] and retake control of the fleet, Soteria split off a submind of itself within a single colony ship, which would eventually become caught in the gravity well of Neptune and crash into its surface.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Into the Sunset#Lore|Into the Sunset]]''</ref> A second colony ship, the [[Exodus Indigo]], would subsequently land on Neptune during the [[Collapse]] when following a distress signal broadcast by the submind, bringing with it several high-ranking Ishtar Collective scientists such as [[Maya Sundaresh]] and [[Chioma Esi]]. These survivors of the Collapse would go on to found the city of [[Neomuna]], which remained hidden for centuries thanks in part to Neptune's erratic magnetic field.<ref name="PTV"/>

| At some point during the Collapse, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] killed the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]] [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] and stole the [[the Veil|Veil]] from his [[Pyramid]], hiding it away on Neptune to keep it from the Witness.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]: [[Root of Nightmares#Raid|"After that witch killed me and cursed my remains, I assume that's when she whisked away the Veil to Neptune. The coveted key to the Witness's plans... and the sapid secret of its first victims. As much as I loathe her, I must applaud her efforts."]]''</ref> As a result of her deception, the Witness chose to leave the Sol System and withdraw its Black Fleet to intergalactic space.{{Citation needed}}

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It is not explained how [[Neomuna]] withstands the immense pressure of Neptune's interior.
| |
| *The surface of Neptune is depicted in-game as "sand" made of diamonds and surrounded by an ocean, likely inspired by a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131203065217/http://www.astronomynow.com/news/n1001/21diamond/ theory] that Neptune's surface consists of liquid carbon and solid diamonds.
| |
| *The massive storm located outside [[Neomuna]] is known as the 'Cerulean Front' and has been present for around 80 years before the events in [[Lightfall]].
