{{Quote|The signal from Phobos is incredibly powerful. It might be a distress call. But then, we've never heard the Cabal send out a distress call before.

'''Phobos''' is one of two asteroid moons orbiting [[Mars]]. The [[Cabal]] used Phobos as a beachhead for their invasion and occupation of Mars when they arrived in the [[Sol System]]. Later, they somehow altered the asteroid moon's orbit for unknown reasons, bringing it significantly closer to the planet. A common belief among [[Warlock]]s is that Phobos was moved to its current orbit and is being held in place by the [[Ice Reapers]] and their [[Psion Flayers]], who are only an order away from unleashing it as a weapon.<ref name="PF">'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal Command#The Psion Flayers|The Psion Flayers]]''</ref>

==Overview==
The City Vanguard believed Phobos to potentially be the command center and staging ground of the Cabal [[Skyburners]], who were commanded by [[Primus Ta'aun]] and his lieutenants. Presumably the Skyburners were marshaling a "second fleet" with the intent of launching a full assault on the inner system.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Skyburners|Skyburners]]''</ref> This is confirmed when [[The Guardian]] investigates a major Cabal evacuation of [[Fleetbase Korus]] at the start of the [[Taken War]] in the mission [[The Coming War]]. The Asteroid appears to have already been settled with a Cabal base, with [[Cabal Plow]]s clearing out more area.

With the arrival of [[Oryx]] in the Sol System, the [[Taken]] have swarmed Phobos, overwhelming the Cabal and forcing them to evacuate a major base.<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/the-taken-king-vidoc/ '''Planet Destiny''': The Taken King Vidoc]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5We-IDpnm18 YouTube: Planet Destiny: Full Taken King Story Mission | The Coming War]</ref>

After the deaths of the [[Ice Reapers]] [[Psion Flayer]]s, Phobos has noticeably begun to recede back to its natural orbit away from Mars. With Mars vanishing by the [[Pyramids]] years after, Phobos would remain orbiting derelict.
