- "They call it... "The Almighty". The crown jewel of the Red Legion and life's work of their leader... Dominus Ghaul. Ghaul has subjugated hundreds of worlds. Those that resisted... no longer exist. You see, the Almighty annihilates stars."
- — Sloane
The Almighty is a massive Cabal superweapon and the pride of the Red Legion.
Overview
- "Even if you manage to kill Ghaul, when the Red Legion leave a system — defeat or victory —they leave nothing behind."
- — Ghost
The Almighty is an enormous vessel, hundreds or thousands of times larger than Cabal warships and carriers and rivaling the size of the Dreadnaught.[1] It is said to be Dominus Ghaul's life work. After the Red Legion completes its conquest of a system, it deploys the Almighty to demolish it.
The Almighty works by consuming a nearby celestial body, breaking it down for fuel which in turn powers an energy beam that links with a star on a quantum level; as a result, if the Almighty were to be destroyed while still linked to a star, it would take the star with it and still destroy the system. The energy beam gradually destabilizes the star's magnetic field, weakening it to the point that the star collapses into a supernova. In the final moments before the explosion, the Almighty severs its link with the star and teleports to safety.
History
When Ghaul conquered a planet, he would use the Almighty to annihilate those that refused to submit. It is unknown how many worlds have been destroyed in this manner. After the fall of the Last City, the Almighty was deployed to Sol. It began breaking down Mercury for fuel, and linked with the star in preparation for destroying the Solar System once Ghaul had obtained the Traveler's Light for the Red Legion. Commander Zavala, Deputy Commander Sloane, and the Guardian resistance learned of the Almighty after hacking a high-priority Red Legion comms signal. Although they initially despaired that the Red War had already been lost, Zavala resolved to launch an all-or-nothing attack to destroy the Almighty. This plan was later revealed to be folly when Asher Mir used an old Warmind vault on Io to analyze the superweapon and discovered that it could not be destroyed without also destroying the Sun.
The Vanguard decided on a two-pronged approach: The Guardian would board and disable the Almighty before it could finish sapping the Sun, while the Guardian resistance launched an attack to reclaim the Last City. The Guardian succeeded, damaging the Almighty's cooling system and causing a catastrophic failure. The Consul received word of what befell the Almighty, telling Ghaul that their flagship had been damaged beyond repair. After Ghaul's defeat and the Traveler's reawakening, the broken Almighty remained orbiting the Sun.
