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]] - | 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]].

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]] - [[Lore]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/wilderflight Wilderflight]''</ref><ref name="LongArm">'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Lore]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/long-arm 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 the ship as it was caught in [[Neptune]]'s gravity well and crashed there.<ref name="IntoTheSunset">'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Lore]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/into-the-sunset 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]] - | 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]] - [[Lore]]: [[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"/> | ||

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. | |||

In the midst of 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"/> | |||
