So, I and a few of my fellow Clan Members (Death by Hug), have been wondering about the unusually large "Moon" in geostationary orbit above mars.
Now, I don't mean the small one that actually looks like Deimos or Phobos, but the HUGE Asteroid above mars: Images included in the imgur link!
Geo-Stationary Orbit? Too large & Too close - would have impacted
Given Stationary Debris between planetoid and Mars...
Possibly encountering a stasis field prior to impact?
Highly detailed (even given seams)
Not Phobos or Deimos due to size - That can be seen in the last set of images...
So, what is it? Possibly sent to destroy Mars but stopped with a stasis field?
All that is left of the Cabal's people?
An Arkship?
What are your thoughts?
Deimos and Phobos orbit Mars irregularly and it's assumed that given time one will inevitably strike Mars and the other will be flung out of orbit. I can only assume the Traveler (or perhaps the Earthlings during the Golden Age) had the technology or know how to prevent such a catastrophe and put the "moons" in a geo-stationary orbit.
...or the devs were just lazy...
