The Legion's Beachhead

"So the Cabal don't do things halfway. They crashed a warship right into the Dreadnaught. On Imperial orders they made a beachhead for the legion to assault Oryx's throne. "Well, they've just kicked off a new operation with plans to blow the ship's core. If the Dreadnaught blows, the blast will crips everything between us and Saturn's rings. Head out and I'll run the comms. "We'll make Zavala proud! Or, at lead, not embarrassed. That's a good goal."

Shield Brothers
"The Skyburners were under the command of Primus Ta'aun until Oryx took him. Our records says Ta'aun was bound in the shield rite to his "brothers": Valus Tlu'urn and Valus Mau'ual. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage."

- Zavala

Talk to Cayde-6
"Nice job! Not a lot of ranking members of the Empire still in-system after that mission… the average Centurion has gotta be having a confusing day."

- Cayde-6

Objectives

 * Speak to Cayde-6 in the Hall of Guardians at the Tower.

Dialogue
"Guardian, you did some good work up there. Normally this'd be the point where I slap you on the back and give you a gun, but I just had a pretty weird conversation. "Arach Jalaal, the Dead Orbit rep for the Tower? He said he has more intel on the Skyburners. Better get over there."

"Dead Orbit's core philosophy never sat with me, not at all. Still, there are days when we need to work with'em. Today's one."

Objectives

 * Speak to Arach Jalaal at the Tower.

Dialogue
"Always a pleasure, Guardian. I'll get right to the point: I'm coordinating a joint operation between Dead Orbit and the Tower. Commander Zavala and I have been using the fleet to run system-level sweeps and intel missions, and we've found something. "The Cabal on the Dreadnaught are blasting a signal out into deep space. They're trying to talk to someone, and we need them silenced."

- Arach Jalaal

Outbound Signal
"We know next to nothing about Cabal control structures above the system level. Perhaps in disabling this signal, and ending the legion's communication beyond the system, we'll learn something."

- Zavala

Objectives

 * Board the Dreadnaught and put an end to a Cabal transmission to the stars. Complete mission "Outbound Signal."

Talk to Arach Jalaal
"We'll keep your Guardian in mind for future pushes in the Crucible. This was excellent work. The remaining Cabal forces in our system have been severely weakened."

- Arach Jalaal's report to Commander Zavala

Objectives

 * Speak to Arach Jalaal at the Tower.

Dialogue
"You've done very well, Guardian. Excellent. This simple act of coordination between the fleet and the Tower is the beginning, I hope, of something greater. Something that will shape us for years to come."
