Elsewhere in the Solar System the Cabal established a beachhead on [[Phobos]] for initiating the invasion of Mars. During the invasion the Cabal encountered the native Vex programing the [[Virgo Prohibition]], and began a massive war of attrition following their nearly uncontested conquest of [[Mars]]. The Vex fought to protect the entrance to their "birthplace", the [[Black Garden]], from the ever expanding Cabal [[Exclusion Zone]], but apparently failed to halt the Cabal advance. This war was fought with little outside interference, the City busy with her own problems.<ref name="Virgo"/><ref name="Shield"/>
