The Phobos was a Union-class DropShip operated by the Gray Death Legion by the time of their attack on Sirius V in 3028,[1] and up until 3065.[2]

It should not be confused with the Trojan-class vessel of the same name that served the Gray Death Legion earlier, most famously in their blockade running attempt at Verthandi in 3025; apparently, the first Phobos (which was described as old and decreipt to begin with, and suffered considerable damage at Verthandi) was replaced by a real Union-class DropShip between the conclusion of the Verthandi campaign in 3026 and the Sirius campaign in 3028.
