'''Meridian Bay''' is | '''Meridian Bay''' is located on [[Mars]]<ref name = "Companion">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJsIY7RrVuY '''Youtube''': ''Destiny Companion App Walkthrough'']</ref>. It is the site of major [[Cabal]] activity, as well as the ruins of [[Freehold]] and the former gateway to the [[Black Garden]]. Many Cabal Legions are based here, embroiled in a war of attrition with the [[Virgo Prohibition]].

It is assumed that the Red Legion lost the bay after the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]], as survivors from the War had retreated to the [[Hellas Basin]] in a desperate last stand. | ||
