It is implied that after the Collapse, the Sol Divisive created the Black Heart at the behest of the [[Witness]], as it hoped to use the Black Heart for the same purpose as the Veil. However, the Black Heart was seemingly a failed replica.

===Founding of Neomuna===
===Discovery by the Ishtar Collective===
The Veil was later discovered by [[Ishtar Collective]] researchers who had traveled to Neptune aboard the [[Exodus Indigo]] during the Collapse. According to audio logs left by [[Chioma Esi]], every researcher on the initial survey team died after making physical contact with the Veil, instantly entering a state of brain death. Exos present on the colony mission experienced psychological disturbances due to the electromagnetic signals emitted by the object, hallucinating and in some cases entering a state of "billboarding" similar to that which had occurred in early exominds prior to [[Clovis Bray I]]'s invention of the [[Alkahest]]. When examining the object, [[Maya Sundaresh]] heard her own voice in her head speaking to her, telling her that the artifact was called "the Veil," and became convinced that it would be their "salvation".

Several weeks later, Vex forces began making incursions into the Ishtar Collective's territory, but were apparently repelled by the Veil's influence, preventing them from simply dropping into the midst of the Ishtar Collective's habitat and forcing them to engage the colonists' defenses.
===Founding of Neomuna===
The Veil would go on to play a central role in the founding of [[Neomuna]], serving as the main power source for the city and the basis of its [[CloudArk]] infrastructure. An [[Ishtar Collective]] facility, the [[Irkalla Complex]], was constructed around it to study it and keep it safe. During the early history of Neomuna, an [[Final Warning|atmospheric spectrometer]] was developed which displayed unexpected properties, which [[Maya Sundaresh]] speculated to be a result of the Veil's influence.
