In some of the Legion's earliest campaign's under Ghaul, the Dominus had employed the use of Psions amongst the Legion to mask his fleets from the [[Hive]] in his conquest of their [[War moon]]s on the fringe of Cabal space to ensure a "buffer" against invasion.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''','' [[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Confessions]]''</ref> | In some of the Legion's earliest campaign's under Ghaul, the Dominus had employed the use of Psions amongst the Legion to mask his fleets from the [[Hive]] in his conquest of their [[War moon]]s on the fringe of Cabal space to ensure a "buffer" against invasion.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''','' [[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Confessions]]''</ref> | ||
One of the better documented and most important of the Red Legion's campaigns involved one of the Empire's client species, the [[Clipse]].

Living amongst a harsh and xenocidal environment, the Clipse had been brutally forced to change, very similar to the conversion experienced by the Cabal, to a martial and war-driven race. Seeking security in the fallout of the Midnight Coup, Ghaul sent a fleet towards the Clipse homeworld in order to secure their loyalty and "win" the centuries old conflict that had long tormented the toiling Clipse. The contingent of the legion in their occupation and assistance of the Clipse quickly discovered, however, that the only way the harsh ecosystem would involve taking the planet with it. Attempts at utterly terraforming and transforming the Planet's climate were all botched and only poisoned the world and Clipse further. Toxic shock attacks and "clear and hold" tactics repeated again and again proved futile as even though the legion and Clipse could fend off the threat - they could not stop or reverse it. Despite a century's worth of effort expended by this detachment, the operation was considered "no longer essential to the strategic security of the empire" by Ghaul and the contingent abandoned the Clipse.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_VI|Confessions: Entry VI]]''</ref> The Clipse would remain loyal to Ghaul to the bitter end, trying to earn his favor back by attempting to best Calus and the Leviathan when they appeared. Although many Clipse would eventually be taken into arcologies, their homeworld would be obliterated by its moon, [[Kaga-Clipse]]'s guns. | ||
Sometime following the conversion of the Empire, Ghaul and the Red Legion had constructed a titanic vessel comparable to a moon in length and utter size. This vessel , which would become known as [[The Almighty]], became the centerpiece of all Cabal Fleet's along with the crown jewel of the Red Legion. It was seen as an immense engineering feat to the Cabal and held to an almost zealous or holy stature. The loss of the Almighty would be as impactful if not more impactful than the loss of Ghaul. | Sometime following the conversion of the Empire, Ghaul and the Red Legion had constructed a titanic vessel comparable to a moon in length and utter size.

The Red Legion would go on to conquer hundreds of worlds at Ghaul's orders, deploying [[The Almighty]] against those who refused to surrender. Though the vast majority of these wars and campaigns are undocumented, it is known one such assault occurred as close as the Trappist system. In most of these campaigns the Red Legion sought any and all information on the [[Traveler]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]:, Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dunemarchers]]</ref>.

Many celebrations and ceremonies of countless victories were held by the Red Legion. One such ceremony would be interrupted by [[Rull]] and his assassination of [[Iska'al]] and [[Moli Imoli]] with Rull perishing before Ghaul just as he had killed the Everjoy. In the days immediately before the Red Legion set out to the [[Solar System]] to [[Red War|wipe out]] the [[Guardian]]s, Calus deployed his [[Shadows]] to assassinate the various conspirators behind the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him. While the Shadows succeeded in eliminating nearly everyone on Calus's hit list except [[Caiatl]], [[Umun'arath]], [[Otzot]] (additionally referenced during Insight terminus strike), [[The Consul]] and [[Dominus Ghaul]], none of them survived their mission. Although they succeeded in infiltrating Ghaul's [[The Immortal|vessel]], the Shadows perished one-by-one against overwhelming odds. Nohr slaughtered three-hundred of Ghaul's best warriors with her bladed shield before facing off against the Dominus himself. She was the last Shadow standing, and Ghaul killed her, much to the grief of Calus.<ref>[[Armor_of_Nohr#Plate_of_Nohr|Plate of Nohr]]</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/shadows-cloak Shadow's Cloak]''</ref><ref> '''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Fulminator#Robes_of_the_Fulminator|Robes of the Fulminator]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_Feltroc#Grips_of_Feltroc|Grips of Feltroc]]''</ref> | Many celebrations and ceremonies of countless victories were held by the Red Legion.
