'''Fleetbase Korus''' was a [[Cabal]] military and mining installation on [[Phobos]] that was overun by the [[Taken]] at the start of the [[Taken War]].

Discovered by Holborn's Host in association with [[Lord Shaxx]] and a [[Redjack]] fireteam, Fleetbase Korus marked the largest known Cabal orbital defense station in the system since the Cabal had first arrived in Sol.<ref name="Korus"/><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/talk-to-zavala-18 Talk to Zavala]''</ref> Rumored to have been pulled Phobos out of its natural orbit and locked into Mars' atmosphere by the [[Psion Flayers]] It was being used by the [[Skyburners]] Legion, under the command of [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx|Primus Ta'aun]] and his fleet battalion commanders [[Valus Mau'ual]] and [[Valus Tlu'urn]], as their base of operations and to prepare the first wave of a full-scale celestial demolition fleet.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/ [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal|Cabal]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Skyburners|Skyburners]]''</ref><ref name="Korus">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Places|Places]]/[[Grimoire:Places/Mars|Mars]], [[Grimoire:Places/Mars#Fleetbase Korus, Phobos|Fleetbase Korus, Phobos]]''</ref>

Following the [[Battle of Saturn]], [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] unleashed his Taken onto the base. Overwhelmed in minutes, the Skyburners sent a distress call that would be intercepted by the [[Vanguard]]. [[Zavala]] would send [[the Guardian]] to investigate, only to find the Cabal evacuating the base. After encountering the Taken there for the first time and defeating [[Syrok, Word of Oryx]], the Guardian ultimately had to flee the base as well.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[The Coming War]]''</ref>

 

After successfully forcing Oryx to retreat into his [[Ascendant Plane|Throneworld]], the Guardian tracked and defeated an [[Echo of Oryx]] that had retreated to the Fleetbase.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Fear's Embrace]]''</ref>

 

The base continued to be infested by the Taken for years after Oryx's death. However, they appear to have grown docile after Mars was abducted after the [[Arrival of the Black Fleet]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Captain's Log|Captain's Log]]: [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 5 - Feast Your Eyes|ENTRY 5 - Feast Your Eyes]]''</ref>
