'''Deimos''' is a moon of the planet [[Mars]] that serves as a [[Forge World]] with smog-ridden manufactorums that produce weapons and armour. When [[Malcador the Sigillite]] created the [[Grey Knights]] [[Chapter]] during the [[Horus Heresy]], the moon of Deimos was displaced from its orbit and relocated to [[Titan (Moon)|Titan]] by way of hidden, arcane technologies.{{Fn|1}}
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. {{Fn|1}} Furthermore Deimos holds the STC imprints for the entire canon [[Space Marines]]' lore and other wonderful weapon.{{Fn|2}} Only the more unique weapons such as [[Nemesis Force Weapon]]s are not made on Deimos, instead they are 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.{{Fn|1}}
