- — Arach of the Sophia[1]
Cocytus, also known as A-113 or A113, was a small space station dating to the Golden Age in stationary orbit above Ceres.[1]
History
The station's purpose is unknown, as any records of its existence did not survive the Collapse, but it contains "keyholes" that seemingly led to other dimensions. [1] Crota captured Cocytus after the Collapse. As a result, its apertures became entrances to his throne world or some similar space, driving any who entered them to madness or worse.[2]
The station was rediscovered by Dead Orbit who gave it its current designation and kept it a secret from the Tower.[1] Sixty one days later a subsequent expedition there ended in failure: an Awoken ship from the Reef crippled the expedition's ship, the Sophia, and exploration of A-113's keyholes rendered most of the crew insane. The crew's Arach found a faded Ghost on the station and sent it back to the City with a request that Dead Orbit strike A-113 and the expedition from their records.[1]
When Crota was destroyed by The Guardian, Cocytus's portals ceased to lead to his throne, and instead somehow fell into the possession of the Nine. Five of the Nine began using Cocytus as a laboratory, using the portals to convert their dark matter into "regular" matter, with the ultimate goal of producing living organisms from scratch. While the Nine could create (with increasing sophistication) basic atoms, crystals, and organic precursors, their two attempts at viable life failed almost immediately, and the portals fell mostly into disuse.[2][3]
Trivia
- A113 (sometimes A-113 or A1-13) is an inside joke, an Easter egg in works created by alumni of the California Institute of the Arts, referring to the classroom used by graphic design and character animation students. [4]
