| During a test for Clovis Bray's [[ECHO project]] overseen by [[Maya Sundaresh]], Soteria was instructed to plot simulations she had been constructing of colony missions to the [[wikipedia:Andromeda Galaxy|Andromeda Galaxy]]. While initially detecting over 300 suitable candidate planets for colonization, this number dwindled to a mere two within the [[wikipedia:Triangulum Galaxy|Triangulum Galaxy]] instead due to the presence of an [[Black Fleet|anomaly]] that made all other routes entirely unsafe.<ref name="TerminusHorizon">'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Terminus Horizon#Lore|Terminus Horizon]]''</ref> After forwarding this information to [[Rasputin]] who confirmed her analysis, she was advised to speed up contingency plans for colony ship launches. Against the wishes of [[Clovis Bray I]], she launched the ECHO project's Koranthin network on emergency scramble orders, preparing to send them out of the system until she was pilloried in the [[Ares Spire]].<ref name="Wilderflight">'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Wilderflight#Lore|Wilderflght]]''</ref><ref name="LongArm">'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Long Arm#Lore|Long Arm]]''</ref> Return commands were issued for all ships, save for one which she had uploaded a fragment of herself to. As Soteria was resigned to imprisonment in the Ares Spire, she felt as the ship was caught in [[Neptune]]'s gravity well and crashed there.<ref name="IntoTheSunset">'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Into the Sunset#Lore|Into the Sunset]]''</ref> Rasputin kept track of the crash site and referred to it under the codename Nefele Stronghold.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/evidence-board-report-transcript-wound Report: TRANSCRIPT-WOUND]''</ref>

| Marooned on Neptune, the fragment broadcasted a distress signal that attracted the [[Exodus Indigo]] during the [[Collapse]], the passengers of which eventually established the city of Neomuna at the Nefele Stronghold site.<ref name="Winterbite">'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Winterbite#Lore|Winterbite]]''</ref> The fragment later became known as the Occlusion under the care of the first [[Cloud Strider]] known as [[the Strider]], and became a central part of the Neomuni CloudArk.<ref name="Strider"/>

| ===Spire of the Watcher===
| |
| Centuries later, the Ares Spire came to the attention of [[the Hidden]] after detecting [[Sol Divisive]] activity in the facility. Believing that the Vex were plotting to pillory Rasputin while he was being reconstructed at the time, [[Osiris]] dispatched [[the Guardian]] to secure the facility. During their [[Spire of the Watcher|mission]], they discovered that the Vex were, in reality, scouring the facility for information relating to Soteria and her extrasolar colonization research and preparing to destroy the facility afterwards. Amid the fighting, they inadvertently freed Soteria, damaged by her centuries of imprisonment, who escaped into a nearby [[Hierarchy of Needs|caster bow]] that was later recovered by [[Ana Bray]] during her own mission to acquire the information the Vex were after.<ref name="HierarchyOfNeeds"/>

| |
| During the [[Invasion of Neptune]], a security reset caused by the [[Shadow Legion]] briefly exposed the Occlusion to the Vex, causing them to begin sustained operations to retrieve it from the CloudArk. During this time, the Guardian helped city archivist [[Quinn Laghari]] in restoring Cloud Strider memorial servers that were destroyed by the Vex due to their containing data relating to the Occlusion. After restoring the Strider's server, the Occlusion made brief contact to thank the Guardian and inform them of an [[Ahsa|enemy]] of [[the Witness]] locked away on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]].<ref name="Strider"/>

| *In Greek mythology, [[wikipedia:Soteria (mythology)|Soteria]] was the goddess of safety and salvation.
| |
| *Soteria's role as the Augurmind probably refers to [[wikipedia:Augur|augurs]], Ancient Roman priests who determined the will of the gods, particularly based on the behaviour of birds, and thus determined the best actions to take in light of this knowledge.
