After succeeding in taking down Thumos and stealing his personal ship, the Guardian successfully infiltrates the ''Almighty''. Despite fighting past elite defenders and dealing with the intense solar rays, the Guardian succeeds in disabling the ''Almighty's'' coolants, causing it to malfunction into an inoperable state. The Vanguard then initiates their attack to liberate their home. Despite being Lightless, the Vanguards forces manage to break through the Red Legions defenses and set up the Vex device. The Guardian teleports into Ghaul's command ship, the ''Immortal'', which is at the center of the Light-restraining device. Bypassing the ships forces, the Guardian reaches the top of the ship and encounter Ghaul once more. This time, however, Ghaul had forcibly taken a portion of the Traveler's Light to battle with the Guardian with abilities similar to theirs. | After succeeding in taking down Thumos and stealing his personal ship, the Guardian successfully infiltrates the ''Almighty''.

On Nessus, the Red Legion had been drilling into [[The Inverted Spire]], hoping to study and utilize [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] as weapon, but the Vex responded violently, causing a warzone to break out near the drilling sites. The Vanguard learned of the legions efforts and sent in the Guardians to destroy Protheon before the Red Legion could capture the Vex Mind. After battling past Vex and Cabal forces, the Guardians descend into the Inverted Spire and face off against the Vex entity. Despite its firepower and altering the battlefield, the Guardians succeeded in destroying Protheon, depriving the Vex of an Axis Mind and the Cabal of a potential new weapon. | On Nessus, the Red Legion had been drilling into [[The Inverted Spire]], hoping to study and utilize [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] as weapon, but the Vex responded violently, causing a warzone to break out near the drilling sites.

On Io, the Vanguard pin-point the Vex's machine conversion of the moon at [[The Pyramidion]], centered by [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]]. Not only do the Vanguard want to put a stop to the Vex's plans to turn Io into another [[machine world]] but also prevent any lingering Taken from corrupting the Genesis Mind into a powerful Taken entity. Storming the Pyramidion, the Guardians, guided by Asher Mir, evade Vex traps, Vex defenders and Taken enemies before entering a pit that housed the Genesis Mind. Despite the Genesis Mind's power, the Guardians succeed in destroying Brakion, hindering the Vex's efforts to convert Io and granting Asher Mir a sense of vengeance, as it was Brakion who nearly converted him into a Vex machine. | On Io, the Vanguard pin-point the Vex's machine conversion of the moon at [[The Pyramidion]], centered by [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]].

On Titan, the Guardians worked with Sloane in stabilizing the New Pacific Arcology's foundation to prevent it from sinking into the sea while also aiding in missions to power the ancient facilities and drive off Fallen and Hive. During said missions, the Guardians discover multiple Hive rituals with the purpose of sinking the Arcology but were stopped by the Guardians at every turn. Sloane discovered a center point for these rituals deep beneath the Arcology and sent in fireteams to investigate; all went dark and none returned. Worried, Sloane sends in the Guardians to look for the lost teams and find out what the Hive are up to. Breaching Hive defenses, the Guardians discovered strange crystal emanating Void Light which they find strange as only Guardians can generate Void Light. Traveling further, the Guardians make radio contact with a Guardian named [[Taeko-3]], the last surviving member of the previous fireteams, and learn that the Hive are forcibly extracting Void Light from Guardians to create the crystals to power a large [[Shrieker]], [[Savathun's Song]]. Taeko-3 sacrifices her life to create a crystal the Guardians can use to access the Shrieker. They were successful in destroying Savathun's Song, avenging the fallen Guardians and preventing another Hive attempt to sink the Arcology. | On Titan, the Guardians worked with Sloane in stabilizing the New Pacific Arcology's foundation to prevent it from sinking into the sea while also aiding in missions to power the ancient facilities and drive off Fallen and Hive.

Despite the demoralizing loss of their Dominus and the Consul, the Red Legion continued to be a threat to the Last City, but the Guardians maintained their vigilance against them, primarily in the EDZ. Guardians succeeded in numerous efforts against the Red Legion, from sabotaging their defenses, supplies and vehicles, destroying any Mining Landers and Infiltrator bases encountered and taking out field commanders and high-profile leaders when found. In desperation, the Red Legion made contact with [[Bracus Zahn]] and his disgraced group to supply them with dangerous weapons needed to combat the Guardians. Hawthorne and Cayde intercepted their meeting with the Bracus and sent in the Guardians to take down Zahn. Breaching [[Firebase Hades]], the Guardians hunted Zahn and his company throughout the Cabal Cruiser before cornering him at the airfields. Against Zahn's arsenal, the Guardians succeeded in taking down the Bracus, depriving the Red Legion of the much needed weapons. | Despite the demoralizing loss of their Dominus and the Consul, the Red Legion continued to be a threat to the Last City, but the Guardians maintained their vigilance against them, primarily in the EDZ.

In addition to Io, a remnant faction of [[Taken]] continued to operate within the [[European Dead Zone]], primarily near the Dark Forest, battling whatever Fallen, Cabal or Guardian force that gets near. A contingent of the Red Legion began to use Psions to siphon Taken energy to empower themselves which causes the notice of the Vanguard. Fighting the Cabal through the Dark Forest in the Deadzone, the Guardians corner the Colossus in command of their activities, [[Prusk, the Unequaled Maul]], and destroy him. A larger Taken force gathered in the Deadzone under the command of a Taken Phalanx, [[Grask, the Consumed]]. The Taken, under clear directions, were tasked to corrupt the natural landscape and water supply within the Deadzone using Taken energy. Should they succeed, then the entire Deadzone would be rendered inhospitable, threatening the Farm. After destroying each of the Taken's stronger forces and removing the Blight's causing the infestations, the Guardians were successful in defeating Grask, weakening the Taken in the Deadzone but the Vanguard continue to question who is creating new Taken and directing them in Oryx' absence. This lead the Vanguard to develop investigations into Oryx, specifically [[Xivu Arath|his]] [[Savathûn|sisters]] mentioned in the [[Books of Sorrow]]. | In addition to Io, a remnant faction of [[Taken]] continued to operate within the [[European Dead Zone]], primarily near the Dark Forest, battling whatever Fallen, Cabal or Guardian force that gets near.

Following the events of the Red War, [[Val Ca'uor]] established himself as the new leader of the [[Red Legion]], where he ordered a massive assault upon the Leviathan. The acting leader aimed to assume control over the massive space craft for the Red Legion's purposes, likely to rebuild their power and strength following the loss of Ghaul and so many other crippling losses at the hands of the Guardians. Thus, Val Ca'uor led a large Red Legion fleet to pry the Leviathan from the former Cabal Emperor. | Following the events of the Red War, [[Val Ca'uor]] established himself as the new leader of the [[Red Legion]], where he ordered a massive assault upon the Leviathan.

Following Val Ca'uor's invasion, Emperor Calus ordered a Guardian response team to repel the Red Legion, offering further riches and rewards upon their success. The Guardians heeded the exiled emperor's call and ascended the Leviathan's spire, just as the acting commander destroyed one of Calus's robotic proxies. Upon confronting Ca'uor, the Guardians engaged the Red Legion's elite forces to prevent them from taking control of the Leviathan.
