History of Cosmodrome
Revision 1265 by archivist at 2026-10-01 18:15:18
The Cosmodrome is a destination on Earth: a derelict spaceflight complex in the ruins of Old Russia, once a Golden Age shipyard that launched colony ships before the Collapse. It is the opening destination of Destiny 2's free-to-play experience and is unlocked by completing the "A Guardian Rises" mission. (Also listed as The Cosmodrome.)
Getting there
New players start here with the "A Guardian Rises" mission. It has two landing zones, The Steppes and Skywatch.
Regions
- The Steppes (with Dock 13)
- Skywatch (Rusted Gangplank, Jovian, Lunar and Terrestrial Complexes)
- Mothyards
- Rocketyard (Kings' Watch and the Refinery)
- Forgotten Shore (The Grothos and The Mine)
- The Divide
- Dry Sea
Activities
- Lost Sectors: Exodus Garden 2A in The Divide and Veles Labyrinth in Forgotten Shore. The two Cosmodrome Lost Sectors can be found by following the guides credited below.
- Public events, patrols and adventures against the resident enemy factions.
Enemies
House of Dusk (Fallen), House of Salvation, the Red Legion (Cabal), the Lucent Brood and assorted Hive led by Navôta and Ak-Baral. These are current inhabitants per Destinypedia; older seasons differed.
Lore
Before the Collapse the Cosmodrome was a planetary defence and launch site. A fragment of the Warmind Rasputin lies in the Seraphim Vault beneath it. Trivia: it is the only Destiny 2 destination without a dedicated armor set.
