Solar System Exploration 2 Wiki

Phobos is one of the two natural satellite of Mars. It's one of the only 2 astronomical objects that don't have an SOI; the other being the other Martian moon Deimos. Its orbit is more elliptical than Deimos and orbits closer to Mars.

Appearance[]

Phobos is a grey pebble rock shaped like an asteroid, and is a few times larger than Deimos.

Forming Alcaeus[]

Bumping into Phobos will cause it to come out of its orbit and crash into the surface of Mars, upon impact it will leave a unique crater and spew loads of debris into space. It will also aid in forming a dark ring around Mars, and aid in forming Alcaeus depending on if you have deorbited Deimos. The crater will have magma on the crater and cool down after some time. If both moons collide, it will reverse terraforming of Mars if it was already terraformed or is still terraforming. Phobos may accelerate when approaching Mars, as it's orbit gets more elliptical for every time it orbits around it.
