After the Vanguard was reunited and gathered on Earth with the rest of the resistance, Amanda provided aerial support for their operations against the Red Legion in the [[European Dead Zone]]. She began working with [[Devrim Kay]] to steal supplies from the Cabal to support their war efforts and civilians at [[The Farm]]. The two asked for the Young Wolf's aid in stealing a supply cache by transmatting it to her, but found the Fallen attempting to steal the same supplies and were only able to recover a single crate. However, Amanda and Devrim located another Fallen cache nearby in [[Maevic Square]]. Doing a quick flyover, Amanda warned the Young Wolf that the Cabal had [[Scorpius]] turrets defending the cache as they fought to take it from the Fallen. The Young Wolf emerged victorious and sent her the crates, but Amanda was outraged to discover that there were stolen supplies from the Farm in another nearby Fallen supply depot. Amanda was unable to provide air support due to the heavy resistance there, but the Young Wolf secured the area and allowed Amanda to pick up the supplies. She thanked the Guardian and their Ghost for the aid and noted the supplies would help a lot of people at the Farm.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Supply and Demand]]''</ref> | After the Vanguard was reunited and gathered on Earth with the rest of the resistance, Amanda provided aerial support for their operations against the Red Legion in the [[European Dead Zone]].

After [[Empress Caiatl]] arrived in the [[Sol System]] to reclaim the Red Legion and sought to bring humanity into the Cabal Empire, Amanda was assigned to provide aerial support to a task force led by Lord [[Saladin Forge]] that was dedicated to eliminating Cabal officers seeking to join her [[War Council]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[A Challenger Rises]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-war-table The War Table]''</ref> Among the other members of the task force was a new Hunter called [[The Crow]] whom Amanda began working with on several missions. Following one mission on [[Nessus]], Crow questioned why the Cabal had deployed the [[Imperial Land Tank]] ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' on the rogue planetoid. Amanda told him that the Cabal only ever solved problems with brute force and further explained her experience against the Cabal during the Red War, recalling the burning of the City and the civilians slaughtered by the Red Legion. Crow was unaware of those events, surprising Amanda, and she told him how the Traveler defeated Dominus Ghaul but that they still were fighting them because it was all the Cabal knew how to do.<ref name="Behemoth">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]: [[Behemoth (Battleground)|Behemoth]]''</ref> | After [[Empress Caiatl]] arrived in the [[Sol System]] to reclaim the Red Legion and sought to bring humanity into the Cabal Empire, Amanda was assigned to provide aerial support to a task force led by Lord [[Saladin Forge]] that was dedicated to eliminating Cabal officers seeking to join her [[War Council]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[A Challenger Rises]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-war-table The War Table]''</ref> Among the other members of the task force was a new Hunter called [[The Crow]] whom Amanda began working with on several missions.

When the Cabal sent a force to assault the Hive in the ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]], Amanda was dispatched on a mission to scout their positions. She spotted a Cabal base being set up on the bluffs in the [[Mothyards]] and saw the Hive assaulting their position hard, although they remained dug in. The nearby Cabal frigates did not fire on her, as the Cabal remained entirely focused on the Hive. Returning to the Last City, Amanda filed a report on what she saw and also noted that she had not seen any Cabal civilians, speculating that they were being kept safe on carriers in deep space. She also stated her belief that the Cabal had little interest in conflict with humanity and were instead focused on gaining revenge against the Hive for the [[Fall of Torobatl|fall]] of their [[Torobatl|homeworld]], a sentiment she understood well from the Red War.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[H.E.L.M.]] Radio Message: [[H.E.L.M.#Amanda's_Cosmodrome_Report|Amanda's Cosmodrome Report]]''</ref> During a subsequent engagement between Vanguard forces led by [[Shaw Han]] and the Cabal in the Cosmodrome, Amanda was sent to drop the [[Praxic Order|Praxic]] Titan [[Siegfried]] from her jumpship straight onto an entrenched Cabal position.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[THE SWARM]]''</ref> | When the Cabal sent a force to assault the Hive in the ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]], Amanda was dispatched on a mission to scout their positions.
