{{quote|Ceres rules the Asteroid Belt. Ceres is the white queen of this space, four hundred million kilometers from the Sun. Ceres is round. Round means power, out here: nothing else in the Belt is big enough to crush itself into a sphere with its own gravity. Ceres has its own chemical stars. Shavings of salt and ice that glint in orbit. Like a crown.|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4<ref name="Fallen4">'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_4|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4]]''</ref>}}
'''Ceres''' (also known as '''1 Ceres''') was a dwarf planet and the largest object in the [[w:Asteroid belt|asteroid belt]]. It was occupied briefly by the [[Fallen]] [[House of Wolves]] before being destroyed by [[Awoken]] [[Harbingers]] in a [[Reef_Wars#The_Scatter|titanic battle]]. This event initiated the [[Reef Wars]].

==History==
During the [[Golden Age]], a small [[A-113|space station]] was built in Ceres' orbit.<ref name="GFDO">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/City_Factions#Ghost_Fragment:_Dead_Orbit|Ghost Fragment: Dead Orbit]]''</ref> Sometime after the [[Collapse]] a small [[Dead Orbit]] expedition was sent to investigate; records from a Ghost indicate the entire team went mad, with the Arach asking all trace of their mission be scrubbed.<ref name="GFDO"/> The [[Awoken]] played little part in this.<ref name="GFDO"/>

The dwarf planet was later claimed by the House of Wolves enroute to [[Earth]] from the [[Jovians]], and excavated to accommodate shipyards and habitats.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/welcome-to-the-reef-2 Welcome to the Reef]''</ref><ref name="Fallen4"/> [[The Reef]] challenged them to battle. In what became known as the Scatter, [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]] deployed powerful weapons called Harbingers that wiped out half of the Wolves, including their [[Virixas, Kell of Wolves|Kell]], and destroyed Ceres itself,<ref name="Fallen4"/><ref name="Skolas">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#WANTED:_Skolas.2C_Kell_of_Kells|WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells]]''</ref> beginning the [[Reef Wars]].

==Trivia==
*In Greece, Ceres is called Demeter (Δήμητρα), after the Greek equivalent of the Roman Cerēs; in English, that name is used for the asteroid 1108 Demeter. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet) Wikipedia Ceres (dwarf planet)]</ref>
