Red War

The Red War is an ongoing conflict between the crippled Guardians of the Solar System and the forces of Dominus Ghaul and his Red Legion.

After years of fighting against the forces of the Darkness and emerging victorious, the Guardians of the Last City find themselves outmatched when the Cabal Red Legion launches a surprise attack on the Last City itself, destroying the Tower and isolating the Traveler. The attack leaved the Guardians without their powers and their home destroyed, forcing them to flee and find a way to counterattack.

Prelude
The Red War began years ago during the final segments of the Taken War after the Skyburners failed in their mission to assume control of the Hive Dreadnaught and find a way to defeat the Guardians. With their leadership dead, the remaining Cabal forces attempted to send a distress signal to the Cabal Emperor, informing him of their recent and crushing defeats at the Guardians hands.

Though the Guardians intercepted the Cabal forces, they were nonetheless successful in sending the message to its recipient. In addition to this, many officials in the Last City fear a resurgent attack from all their attacks, as a New Monarchy agent explained that with so many officers, field commanders and Primus' dead or on the run, the Cabal Empire would have no choice but to respond.
