{{Article quote|The Moonbase is a mystery. The life spark of humanity has long gone out. It's now overrun by moon dust, meteors, and ghosts. What happened here?}}
The '''Anchor of Light''' (referred to as '''Moonbase''' during development) is a now abandoned [[human]] outpost on the [[moon]]. It is located near the [[Hellmouth]]. Established during the [[Golden Age]], the tower acted as a relay station between [[Earth]] and the rest of the colonial effort throughout the [[Solar System]]. <ref name = "MoonbaseNews">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---10182013/en/News/News?aid=11215 '''Bungie.net''', ''Bungie Weekly Update - 10/18/2013'']</ref> Now, the fringe Fallen [[House of Exile]] involve the decayed installation as a Ketch landing site.

Two years after the [[Red War]], the [[House of Dusk]] occupied the Anchor and have crashed the [[Traitor's Ketch]] nearby to construct a new base on the moon. The Anchor of Light by then had decayed to the point it was nearly unrecognizable, now decorated with Dusk banners and sometimes minor skirmishes between the Fallen and the [[Sol Divisive]].

==Points of interest==
The comms tower is the base's main focal point. The tower's height makes it a good vantage point for [[Guardian]]s.<ref name = "MoonbaseNews">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---10182013/en/News/News?aid=11215 '''Bungie.net''', ''Bungie Weekly Update - 10/18/2013'']</ref> <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>

==Trivia==
The idea for the Moonbase was one of the earliest in the development of ''[[Destiny]]'', in circulation by 2009. It is meant to be familiar in nature, reminiscent of the [[wikipedia:International Space Station|International Space Station]], but also exotic as per its proximity to the Hellmouth.<ref name = "MoonbaseNews"/>
