After their crippling defeat at the Sundial, the Red Legion, headed by the escaped Psion Flayer, Amtec, decide to use the Almighty to crash into the Last City itself. With little to no choice, the Vanguard decide to cooperate with the Warmind Rasputin, with Guardians arming his [[Seraph Bunker|arsenal]], in order to save their home from destruction. This would kickstart [[The Almighty Crisis]].<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/SeasonOfTheWorthy Bungie.net Season Of The Worthy Announcement Trailer]</ref>.
After their crippling defeat at the Sundial, Amtec would evade the Guardians' reach and direct the Red Legion for one final desperate ploy: sending the Almighty on a collision course with the Last City itself. <ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/SeasonOfTheWorthy Season of the Worthy Promo]]</ref>. Despite the efforts of [[Zavala]] and [[Ana Bray]] clearing the ship of Cabal, the Red Legion had already disabled the ship's navigation and propulsion systems to prevent any attempt from veering off its intended course.  


Despite Amtec's efforts, however, the Almighty was destroyed by [[Rasputin]], with the help of the Guardians, before it could collide with Earth, resulting in Amtec's plot ending in a total failure for the Red Legion. Amtec's final fate is unknown, but she was possibly onboard when the Almighty was annihilated and perished in the explosion.
With little to no choice, the Vanguard decide to cooperate with the Warmind Rasputin, with Guardians rearming his [[Seraph Bunker|arsenal]], in order to save their home from destruction. This would kickstart [[The Almighty Crisis]] as the Guardians had only weeks to prepare before the calamity arrives.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/SeasonOfTheWorthy Bungie.net Season Of The Worthy Announcement Trailer]</ref>. Meanwhile, remnants of the Red Legion took the opportunity to raid upon the newly active Seraph Bunker in the EDZ for weeks, plundering it of its Golden Age tech to stash in secret [[Lost Sectors]] caches despite the Guardians' attempts to thwart them. The Cabal were also drawn to the Seraph Towers during their activity in attempts to steal its polar charges.


With the Almighty's crash site no longer in flame and its debris no longer falling from the sky, the Red Legion were reduced to a barren few after countless losses. Despite this, the Legion still operates. Several groups of Cabal interfere with the [[Contact]] public event in hopes of harnessing the phantasmal energy seen utilised in [[Unstoppable Incendior|many]] [[Barrier Colossus|Champions]] brought to the forefront. It is unknown if the Red Legion in their desperation have managed to use the energy to create Champions, or if the champions are derived from another way. It is also unknown whether or not [[Amtec]] still leads the remains of the Legion due to her possible death on the Almighty unconfirmed.
Despite the Legion's efforts, however, the Almighty was ultimately destroyed by [[Rasputin]] merely moments as it reached orbit with Earth, resulting in Amtec's plot ending in a total failure for the Red Legion. Amtec's final fate had also became unclear at this point.
