==Overview==
==Overview==
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]].

Player power level is capped at 15 lower than the current maximum when in this location, resulting in stronger, more resilient enemies.

The main enemy factions are the [[Shadow Legion]] and the [[Vex]] [[Sol Collective]], although the [[Taken]] appear in specific activities.

The [[Terminal Overload]] [[Public Event]] takes place in one of the three public areas, overriding all other Public Events for the day. Players can also land on its node.

The Vex constantly attempt to invade the city, and one of the public areas is designated weekly as the '''Vex Incursion Zone'''. 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.

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]].

Neptune would become a focus of Vanguard attention thanks to the conclusion of [[Season of Plunder]], as Osiris had gained visions of a city hidden upon its surface, gleaned from his time as the puppet of Savathûn.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9Mlvz5jAWI&t=422s Awake]''</ref> Despite all the searching performed during [[Season of the Seraph]], nothing was detected upon Neptune,<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Warmind's Avatar Suit#Warmind's Avatar Helm/Headpiece/Mask|Warmind's Avatar Helm/Headpiece/Mask]]''</ref> until Rasputin confirmed the existence of the city, and that the information was kept hidden in a vault in the Cosmodrome.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Final Dawn#Step 5|Final Dawn: Step 5]]''</ref>

With the advent of [[Lightfall]], Neptune has become the subject of an invasion by the [[Shadow Legion]], seeking to take a paracausal artifact from Neomuna, known as the Veil. This artifact was hidden on Neptune by Savathûn, with the people of Neomuna using its powers to create technology such as the [[CloudArk]]. The shimmering city of Neomuna has now become scarred with damage, with an unquantified section of the city demolished by the parking of Calus's flagship, the [[Typhon Imperator]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]]''</ref>
