'''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]]. The Cabal are mostly fighting the Vex on Mars streaming out to protect the black garden, and have created an exclusion zone with heavy defenses to keep the Vex back, although Guardians have no trouble slipping through their defenses to get to objectives. | ||

The Sand Eaters control most of the region, and consequently, suffer the most losses from Guardian, Vex, and Taken assaults. | The Cabal Legions don't often work together, so Meridian Bay is divided between assigned sections.
