| '''Mars''' is the fourth planet in the [[Solar System]], and the third largest terrestrial planet. Since the [[Collapse]], much of Mars has returned to the desolation that came before the [[Traveler]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Places/Mars#Mars|Mars]]''</ref> Like the rest of the planets in the system, the red planet is littered with ruins from the [[Golden Age]].<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams</ref>

| ==Overview==
| |
| A harsh environment, Mars is now a desert world <ref>[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet Viewer''']</ref> <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/Crucible_Arenas#Blind_Watch|Blind Watch]]''</ref> frequently plagued by dust storms.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 43, Activision Blizzard, [[Dustwalker (leg armor)|Dustwalker]]''</ref> The [[Cabal]] forces have a presence on the planet in the form of their [[Exclusion Zone]],<ref name="HopesDreams">[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams'']</ref> as do the [[Virgo Prohibition|Vex]], who are at odds with the Cabal.<ref name="GameInformer"/> An indelible sign of the Cabal presence on Mars is the moon of [[Phobos]], which has had its orbit dramatically altered by Cabal planetary engineering; it now fills a significant part of the sky. Even more disturbing is the discovery of large "planet-cracking" munitions among the Cabal's already devastating arms.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref> There is some degree of conflict as humanity tries to reclaim its former glory.<ref name="GameInformer"/>

| ==History==
| |
| With the coming of the [[Traveler]], rain washed over Mars,<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> and it was here that [[human]]s first [[Ares One|encountered]] the spherical entity.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIxxsw7TNd4&feature=youtu.be '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny: Official E3 Gameplay Experience Trailer'']</ref> Once, populating Mars had been nothing more than a dream for humanity,<ref>[http://links.ebw.ebgames.com.au/servlet/MailView?ms=NDY0OTAzNjIS1&r=NTEwODkzNjQxNzMS1&j=NDgyMzI4MDQ4S0&mt=1&rt=0 '''EB Worlds''' - ''The New Frontier awaits'']</ref> but after its terraforming, a thriving metropolis named [[Freehold]] came to dominate the skyline - a bastion of human life in the red dunes.<ref name = "GameInformer"/> With the coming of the [[Darkness]], nearly all of the city was "swept away" and the sand claimed what remained.<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/destinations/mars '''Bungie''' : ''Mars'']</ref> Today, Freehold lies buried beneath a mountain of sand, and its once-soaring skyscrapers are only visible.<ref name="GameInformer">'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 52''</ref>
