'''Deimos''' is a moon of the planet [[Mars]] and serves as a [[Forge World]] with smog-ridden manufactorums that produced weapons as well as armour. During the [[Horus Heresy]], [[Malcador]] the Sigilitte created the [[Grey Knights]] [[Chapter]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] who had the duty of battling the foul [[Daemon|spawn]] of the [[Warp]]. This monumental task meant that the Grey Knights were reliant on the weapon-making skills of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and to meet these needs, the moon of Deimos was displaced from its orbit where it was relocated to [[Titan (Moon)|Titan]] by way of hidden, arcane technologies.<sup>1-p11</sup>
This moon provides the Grey Knights with the majority of their ammunition, armour and equipment which ranges from [[psycannon]]s to [[Land Raider]] components to starship ordnance within the Forge World's subterranean halls. Only the more unique weapons such as [[Nemesis Force Weapon]] are not made on Deimos which are instead crafted by the Chapter's [[Techmarine]]s at their [[Fortress Monastery]]. The transfer of Deimos produced equipment is primarily done through dull minded [[Servitor]]s who have their memories scrubbed shortly after completing their task. This process prevents the arcane secrets of the Grey Knights from falling into the hands of the Adeptus Mechanicus whilst also allowing the Adepts of Mars to shelter their own dangerous knowledge from the Chapter.<sup>1-p11</sup>
