'''Meridian Bay''' is located on [[Mars]]<ref name = "Companion">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJsIY7RrVuY '''Youtube''': ''Destiny Companion App Walkthrough'']</ref>. It is the site of major [[Cabal]] activity, as well as the ruins of [[Freehold]] and the former gateway to the [[Black Garden]]. Many Cabal Legions are based here, embroiled in a war of attrition with the [[Virgo Prohibition]]. The Cabal are mostly fighting the Vex on Mars streaming out to protect the black garden, and have created an exclusion zone with heavy defenses to keep the Vex back, although Guardians have no trouble slipping through their defenses to get to objectives.

The Cabal Legions don't often work together, so Meridian Bay is divided between assigned sections. The Sand Eaters control most of the region, and consequently, suffer the most losses from Guardian, Vex, and Taken assaults.

*[[Uldren Sov]] gives the location of the Meridian Bay at 84 North and 32 East, which places it approximately in the Vastitas Borealis near the northern pole of the planet. The large dunes and undulating topography surrounding [[Freehold]] conform to that of the region.

**However, the name of Meridian Bay is odd considering its position is not on a Martian meridian, nor within any crater bay or similar known feature of that area of the pole.  
**Meridian Bay is the English name of the region Sinus Meridiani, which is in reality at 7 South and 4 East.
