'''Ceres''' (also known as '''1 Ceres''') was a dwarf planet and the largest object in the [[wikipedia:Asteroid belt|asteroid belt]]. It was occupied briefly by the [[Fallen]] [[House of Wolves]] before being destroyed by [[Awoken]] [[Harbinger (Reef superweapon)|Harbinger]]s in a [[Reef Wars#The Scatter|titanic battle]]. This event initiated the [[Reef Wars]].

==History==
==History==
During the [[Golden Age]], a small [[A-113|space station]] was built in Ceres' orbit. Sometime after the [[Collapse]], a small [[Dead Orbit]] expedition was sent to investigate; records from a Ghost indicate the entire team went mad, with the Arach asking all traces of their mission be scrubbed. The [[Awoken]] played little part in this.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/City Factions#Ghost Fragment: Dead Orbit|Ghost Fragment: Dead Orbit]]''</ref>

The dwarf planet was later claimed by the House of Wolves enroute to [[Earth]] from the [[Jovians]], who excavated the Dwarf to accommodate shipyards and habitats.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/welcome-to-the-reef-2 Welcome to the Reef]''</ref> The [[Reef]] challenged them to battle. In what became known as the Scatter, [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]] deployed powerful weapons called Harbingers that wiped out half of the Wolves, including their [[Virixas, Kell of Wolves|Kell]], and destroyed Ceres itself, beginning the [[Reef Wars]].<ref name="Fallen4"/><ref name="Skolas">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Hunted#WANTED: Skolas, Kell_of_Kells|WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In Greece, Ceres is called Demeter (Δήμητρα), after the Greek equivalent of the Roman Cerēs; in English, that name is used for the asteroid 1108 Demeter. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet) Wikipedia Ceres (dwarf planet)]</ref>

*In the [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Regent|Regent]] entry in the [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|Awoken of the Reef]] [[Lore|Lorebook]], the [[Hive]] were briefly mentioned to have landed over a hundred [[Seeder Ship]] on Ceres.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Regent|Regent]]''</ref> Given that it can be estimated the entry takes place around [[The Taken King]], it may be that Ceres wasn't fully destroyed in Mara's attack.
