'''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 ( | '''Phobos''' is one of two asteroid moons orbiting [[Mars]].

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 | 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.<ref>'''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> Presumably, the Skyburners were marshaling a "second fleet" with the intent of launching a full assault on the inner system.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal|Cabal]], [[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]].

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> | 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 name="TCW">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[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. | After the deaths of the [[Ice Reapers]] [[Psion Flayer]]s, Phobos has noticeably begun to recede back to its natural orbit away from Mars.
