The Red War[2] is an ongoing system-wide war being fought in the Solar System, between the Guardians of the Last City, Cabal Red Legion, and other races of the Solar System.
After years of fighting against the forces of the Darkness and emerging victorious, the Guardians found themselves outmatched when the Red Legion launched a surprise attack on the Last City itself, destroying the Tower and sealing away the Traveler's Light. With their powers and arsenals lost and their home destroyed, the Guardians retreated to the European Dead Zone to recover and plan a counterattack in order to save their home and legacy from Ghaul.

Prelude
The threat of the Red War began years ago during the final segments of the Taken War after the Skyburners Legion failed in their mission to assume control of the Hive Dreadnaught and find a way to defeat the Guardians. In light of their catastrophic losses to both Guardians and the course of the Taken War, the remaining Cabal forces began transmitting a detailed distress signal directed to Dominus Ghaul.
Though the Guardians intercepted the Cabal forces and shut down the transmission, it was nonetheless received. In addition to this, many officials in the Last City feared an attack as a result to all their successes, as a New Monarchy agent explained that with so many officers, field commanders and Primuses dead or on the run, the Cabal Empire would have no choice but to respond.
Surprise attack
- "How do we come back from this?"
"You don't." - — Ghost and Dominus Ghaul
During a brief period of peace, the Vanguard discovered that all of their outer defenses, satellites and outposts went dark and in the cover of a storm, the Cabal Red Legion approached the outer territories of the Last City unnoticed. At the time, the Vanguard were having a meeting, when Zavala quickly noticed the approaching warships, forming a Defender bubble to defend the Vanguard. In one swift attack, the Red Legion severely devastated the Tower, but the Vanguard leadership survived and aided in the fight against the Red Legion troops. As the Legion's fleet assaulted the City, a mysterious massive aircraft latched onto the Traveler. During the chaos, the Speaker was swiftly captured by the Red Legion, leaving the City and its Guardians questioning his whereabouts. Despite this, civilians were successful in evacuating but the Vanguard was quickly overwhelmed.
Conquest of the Light
- "The City is secure. Those who fled, are being hunted, and those fools that remain have been executed."
- — The Consul
The Guardian attempted to disorganize the enemy by disabling the Cabal command ship and though they succeeded in infiltrating the ship and in destroying the Shield generators, no reinforcements could make it, and they were confronted by Dominus Ghaul himself. There the Cabal Emperor activated the Light-restraining device upon the Traveler, encasing it in a force field. This act cut the Guardians off from the Traveler's Light, effectively crippling them. Ghaul savagely beat the weakened Guardian, even sending them off of his command ship along with their Ghost, plummeting to the devastated city below.
