After [[Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl]]'s defeat in the [[Proving Ground]]s, Caiatl lost a lot of support regardless of the honorable rite and several Cabal dissidents defected, swelling the ranks of the deserters once more.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJYMwZBFZTo</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/otPbHX-YJng</ref>

When the Guardian ventured to the [[Pyramid]] ship on [[Europa]], a rogue Cabal force led by [[Valus Dralgur, the Exiled]] sought to pillage the vessel for any artefacts that could be used against [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. The Opperation was not sanctioned by Empress Caiatl, allowing the Guardian to cut their way through the Cabal expidition without worry of destablising their alliance with [[Imperial Cabal|the Empire]]. Despite the Cabal's attempts to jam the Guardian's progress and even attempting to destroy the statue of Darkness deep within the Pyramid they were searching for, the Guardian was successful in communion with the statue, after killing Dralgur.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[The Communion]]''</ref>


After Caiatl's unilateral emancipation of all Psions within the Empire,<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER_8:_EMPRESS|Empress: CHAPTER 8: EMPRESS]]''</ref> some Psions who had attained high rank under the old order were indignant at what they perceived to be their loss of status. Led by [[Qabix, Insurgent]], they deserted from the Imperial Cabal, stole a [[Cabal frigate]], and somehow made contact with the [[Loyalists]] of Emperor Calus.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Coalition Shell]]''</ref> With Loyalist funding, the rebel Psions reactivated an abandoned Cabal base on the recently-returned [[Mars]] and began transmitting psionic propaganda across the Solar System from it. Detectable only to other Psions, the transmission encouraged further defections from Caiatl to join Calus and the [[Pyramids]] for  "salvation". Unwilling for Cabal soldiers to be seen attacking Psions, Empress Caiatl brought the matter to her ally, [[Commander Zavala]] of the [[Vanguard]], who deployed [[The Guardian]] to assault the facility with air support from [[Amanda Holliday]], stopping the transmission.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Vox Obscura]]''</ref>
