| '''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==
| | '''Ceres''' was a dwarf planet and the largest object in the [[w:Asteroid belt|asteroid belt]]. During the [[Golden Age]], a small [[A-113|space station]] was built in Ceres' orbit.<ref name="GFDO">'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Ghost Fragment: Dead Orbit|Ghost Fragment: Dead Orbit]]''</ref> Sometime after the [[Collapse]], the dwarf planet was claimed by the [[Fallen]] [[House of Wolves]] and excavated to accommodate shipyards and habitats. When the Wolves regrouped at Ceres while en route to [[Earth]] from the [[Jovians]], the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] challenged them to battle.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4]]''</ref> In what became known as the Scatter, [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]] deployed weapons called Harbingers that wiped out half of the Wolves, including their [[Virixas, Kell of Wolves|Kell]], and destroyed Ceres itself<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells|WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells]]''</ref>, although it appears that enough of it remains to hold the aforementioned station in its orbit.<ref name="GFDO"/> |
| 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==
| |
| *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.
