Phobos Hollows Cages first appear in Morning Star as a gritty, zero-gravity shantytown of interlinked rusty metal cages that house the lowest strata of Phobos society. The setting is defined by its makeshift nature—floating clothes, sizzling grills, taped family photos, and holo screens glowing through scrap metal—highlighting the stark contrast between the opulence of the Golds and the survivalist ingenuity of the lower Colors. Across the series, the Cages serve as a microcosm of the broader class struggle, evolving from a mere backdrop of hardship to a symbol of resistance and community resilience.
