Following Savathûn's escape from the Awoken in the Reef, the red planet of Mars had mysteriously returned, albeit no the same has it once was, as the planet appears to be afflicted by some temporal distortion. Regardless of the planet's state, Empress Caiatl mobilized the Red Legion to Mars, hoping to claim it as Cabal territory before the Vanguard could make a protest. However, as her forces were setting up fortifications, including a large battery cannon, after the Witch Queen revealed herself in her massive ship The Lure, the Red Legion engaged the Guardian in battle as they sought a means to enter the Hive vessel. Though this technically was a breach in the signed armistice between the Last City and the Cabal Empire, the Guardian nonetheless proceeded with their mission in gaining entry into the Hive ship. As they did so, they encountered a horrifying new enemy: Lightbearing Hive of the [[Lucent Brood]]. Not only them, but Savathûn herself also claimed the Light. | Following Savathûn's escape from the Awoken in the Reef, the red planet of Mars had mysteriously returned, albeit no the same has it once was, as the planet appears to be afflicted by some temporal distortion.

As the Guardian worked with Ikora in combating the Lucent Brood, they needed to hone and strengthen their [[Deepsight]] abilities to further traverse [[Savathûn's Throne World]]. This takes them to the Pyramid on [[Europa]], where a cabal force was attempting to breach into the Pyramid and claim any Darkness related artifacts. Eris Morn believes that the cabal are looking for something that could provide them the means to retaliate against "war itself", as the cabal never got over the fact that Xivu Arath effectively conquered the conqueror, destroying their homeworld. This search, however, was unsanctioned, as Caiatl never authorized the mission, denouncing the members of the search to be exiles and deserters, leaving the Guardian effectively free to engage the Cabal that got in their way without reprisal. | |||
Following the battle against Savathûn, her Lucent Brood remained a threat, especially their Lightbearer Hive, as they have begun to conduct operations within the EDZ on Earth. However, to avoid making another conflict with the Cabal, Zavala arranged a meeting with Empress Caiatl in the Tower Hanger, the Cabal Empress engaged in a heated argument with Lord Saladin before both the Guardian and Crow entered the meeting. Though the Guardian offered their condolences, Empress Caiatl remains angered by the breach in the armistice but Zavala is able to get all parties to focus on the real threat the Lucent Brood poses, with the Vanguard Commander stating that they need the Cabal to hit the Hive hard. Pleased with this, Empress Caiatl agrees to forgive the Guardian for those they had killed and begin an alliance with the Vanguard in combating the Lightbearing Hive. Setting up operations in the Vanguard's [[H.E.L.M.]] and agreeing to have the operation under Saladin's oversight, Caiatl gifts the Guardian a weapon made from Light-suppressing technology, the [[Synaptic Spear]], which would allow the Guardian to sever the Lightbeaer Hive's connection to the Light. Without a worm or the Light to keep it alive, the Hive will die. However, Caital explains that her Psions would use their abilities to keep the Hive in a painless state of being neither alive nor dead as they glean their minds for any intelligence on the Lucent Brood's plans. | |||

The Guardian would begin the operations in the EDZ, working alongside Caiatl's troops in finding Lightbearer Hive who have been reported to be killing Guardians and stealing their Light for some unknown purpose. With the Synaptic Spear and the Psion's Mindscape, the Guardians are able to capture a number of Lightbearer Hive and bring them to the [[Psisorium]], where her Psions shift through their minds. | The Guardian would begin the operations in the EDZ, working alongside Caiatl's troops in finding Lightbearer Hive who have been reported to be killing Guardians and stealing their Light for some unknown purpose.

Unable to send her own forces to deal with this act of treason, not without risking her own position, Empress Caiatl calls upon the Guardian to silence the dissenters and find out who is leading this mutiny. | ||
