Deimos

Deimos is a moon of Mars where the is the controlling faction. This heavily mutated moon uses a tileset similar to the Orokin Towers, called the Orokin Derelicts, ancient Orokin vessels that have been left abandoned after their expulsion from the Void and tarnished due to long-term exposure to the Infestation. Since the reemergence of Deimos, these derelict Orokin Towers have become satellites orbiting Deimos. The caverns beneath the moon's surface are home to an Orokin device known as the The Heart of Deimos, the legacy of , which establishes a connection to the Void to power all Orokin technology across the Origin System.
Deimos becomes accessible after clearing Kadesh, Mars, and does not have a Junction.
The Assassination Targets for Deimos are Lephantis and the Zealoid Prelate, located in the mission nodes Magnacidium and Exequias respectively. Lephantis drops the component blueprints for the parts of the Warframe, and The Zealoid Prelate drops the blueprint and parts for the .
Deimos also features a Landscape: the Cambion Drift. Unlike the Derelicts, it consists of a wide, open terrain on the surface of the moon, heavily mutated by the Infestation's Grey Strain. In the northeast lies a large structure home to the Entrati family, the Necralisk Void Research Enclave. Within the cave complexes of the Cambion Drift lies an extensive network of Entrati facilities, the most noteworthy being the Isolation Vaults. Full access to the Cambion Drift requires completion of the Heart of Deimos quest.
Further beneath the surface conceals Albrecht's Laboratories with a hidden base of operations known as Sanctum Anatomica, hiding Albrecht Entrati's secret Void research that is largely unknown even to the main Entrati family. Venturing into these depths requires completion of the Whispers in the Walls quest.
== General ==
Deimos is one of the moons of Mars, with the other being the heavily contested Phobos. Once a gilded home of the , Deimos is now a writhing mass of rock and Infested matter. Bundles of ever-reaching tendrils probe the atmosphere, while billowing clouds of spores blot out the nearby void of space.
When it reappeared, Deimos became the site of numerous and expeditions. However, as seen with Eris, their ships were swallowed whole, while any uninfested crew were stranded and left to fend for themselves. Their resource caches, along with those of the , still litter the moon's surface, available for any brave enough to collect them.
== Environment ==
As a result of its now heavily infested nature, Deimos has developed a unique environment and ecosystem not seen anywhere else in the Origin System, evolving in a form akin to a large living organism than a moon.
Unseen bioforms develop within the bowels of the planet, while the surface creatures endlessly hunt and prey upon each other. Their behavior waxes and wanes with the appearance of the Wyrms; large infested entities that act as the Deimos' day-night cycle. The dominant brother, Fass, compels the rest of the Grey Strain to become more active, while his sister, Vome, compels them to return to the arteries in which they rest.
== Lore & History ==
Deimos was the location of the first Void expedition in Orokin history, conducted by Albrecht Entrati, the former head of the . In an attempt to prove the usefulness of the Void, Albrecht would use himself as a test subject, venturing into it through a large Void gate located in the bowels of Deimos. The voyage would prove successful, but at a cost; Albrecht lost his sight and voice. Despite this, he would continue to learn about the Void, constructing the Isolation Vaults and the Heart to aid in his research.
During the Old War, lovers Belric & Rania, master foundry operator and celebrated Void engineer respectively, released a bio-bomb on Deimos, causing the spread of the Infestation in an effort to repel the Sentients. In their last moments, their guardian Warframe, , crystallized their bodies in order to keep them together.
After the Heart begins to fail, the Entrati have no choice but to re-phase Deimos back into reality. Eventually, Deimos would reappear, but now as a large, Infested mass.
Despite its now heavily Infested nature, the moon has now become the target of raiders and treasure hunters. Some of the items they acquired were the crystallized remains of the lovers. Rania's remains were taken to Tyana Pass on Mars, while Belric's remains were taken to Venus. Their love formed a tunnel-like Void portal, which now forever connects the two lovers.

Named after the Requiem Word for Decay, Netracells are the private research vaults of the prominent scientist, Albrecht Entrati. They were often sealed with hazardous Keyglyphs; unique keys designed by Albrecht as an added security measure to give the lab’s defenses an advantage, should a Keyglyph fall into unknown hands.
All manner of Albrecht's personal items and treasures were stored within the cells. The Netracells hold many resource containers that yield and . The main cache is guaranteed to drop an and one of the following: Archon Shards ( (), (), or ()), Melee Arcane Enhancement, or ; the contents of the reward is not revealed until players successfully extract.
==Tips==
*Deimos is the earliest location in the Star Chart where s can be found, making it a good place to farm them due to the low level of enemies in the first missions.
==Trivia==
*Deimos, which in Ancient Greek means Dread, is named after the Greek God of Terror who is also the twin brother of Phobos.
*Mission Nodes on the Deimos Orokin Derelicts are usually named after fear, death, and suffering.
**Phlegyas in Greek mythology is the king of the Lapiths, and is the son of Ares and Chryse, making him a sibling of Deimos. In The Divine Comedy, he ferries Dante and Vergil across the river Styx.
**Formido is the Roman equivalent to Deimos.
**Hyf in Old English roughly translates to (bee)hive and in Swedish it refers to the hyphae, long, threadlike filaments that form the mycelium of a fungus.
**Dirus is Latin for "fearful" or "ominous".
**Horend is a form of the word Horrendous.
**Terrorem means terror.
**Exequias is a Spanish (coming from latin exequiae-arum) word that translates to Funeral (rights).
**Magnacidium may be a portmanteau of the Latin words Magna (from the word Magnus, meaning "Large" and "Great") and the suffix -cidium (meaning "slaughter" and "act of killing").
*Mission nodes pertaining to Albrecht's Laboratories are named after Latin words relating to the mission type.
**Persto in Latin is "to persist", as in Survival.
**Nex in Latin is "murder", as in Exterminate.
**Effervo in Latin can mean "swarm", referring to The Fragmented Tide boss fight.
**Cambire is derived from cambio, meaning "change", referring to how the point of Alchemy is to mix damage elements to create a compound.
**Munio in Latin is "protect", as in Mirror Defense.
**In ancient Rome, a Testudo is a screen used to protect troops. This may refer to the heavy security systems the player has to conquer before accessing the Netracells vault.
**Armatus is the perfect passive participle of armo. In Latin, this means "armed", referring to the Demolisher Necramechs.
*It is implied that Deimos, much like Lua, was hidden within the Void until recently in the game's timeline, as Loid mentions in Heart of Deimos that they "have been forced to re-phase into Martian [orbit]" before being interrupted by Otak as well as the quest's description saying "Deimos emerges in Martian orbit".
*Interestingly, Deimos is the only planet of the Star Chart that were not affected by Narmer during The New War. Daughter reveals during Veilbreaker that Mother ordered the Entrati family to safeguard the Heart of Deimos, repelling Narmer from the moon.
*The Orokin Derelict tileset has the highest number of distinct enemy factions fighting each other at the same time: the Grineer, the Corpus, the Infested, the Corrupted (if the Orokin Vault is opened), and the Unaffiliated Feral Kavats.
*Originally, the Heart of Deimos update was planned for release after The New War, but was moved ahead of schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.https://www.polygon.com/interviews/22837840/warframe-the-new-war-rebecca-ford-interview-lotus-sentinels-story (Archived)
*Deimos is the first and, currently, the only planet on the Star Chart that has 3 Assassination nodes.
*Testudo on Deimos is only accessible via the Sanctum Anatomica by talking to Tagfer, therefore it does not have a node on the Star Chart. Despite this, the mission still has a name.
