→Overview: source says Mechanicus not astartes
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 the orbit about [[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 of [[Space MarinesAdeptus Mechanicus]]' lore and other wonderful weaponsthat are yet to be dreamed up.{{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}}
Deimos has both defending [[Skitarii]] as well as 3 [[Knight House]]s, including [[House Steel]]. These normally act as guards but will sometimes march forth with the [[Grey Knight]]s.{{Fn|3}}
