Zavala soon received an invitation from [[Empress Caiatl]], whose fleet of [[Imperial Cabal]] had recently arrived in the Sol System, to meet and discuss the Black Fleet and Hive. Accompanied by Osiris, Zavala met with the Empress and her guards aboard one of their ships. The Empress offered peace between them, but Zavala was skeptical of her intent until she admitted that the Cabal homeworld of [[Torobatl]] had [[Fall of Torobatl|fallen]] to the Hive. Zavala offered his sympathies to her for her loss, but when she offered an alliance, Osiris advised Zavala that the Cabal did not ally but conquer and that Caiatl had betrayed her father Calus and would betray them as well. The Empress called her father soft and stated that he lacked ambition, which humanity did as well, and suggested they would not survive unless Zavala expanded his horizons. She offered for them to join the Cabal Empire and a spot on her [[War Council]] to Zavala, but required them to bow before her. Zavala rejected the offer, and Caiatl's guards immediately prepared for a fight. However, the Empress signaled her guards to stand down and allowed them to leave with a warning that they would meet on the battlefield.<ref name="BB">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]: [[Behemoth (Battleground)|Behemoth]]''</ref> | Zavala soon received an invitation from [[Empress Caiatl]], whose fleet of [[Imperial Cabal]] had recently arrived in the Sol System, to meet and discuss the Black Fleet and Hive.

Returning to the Last City, Zavala met with Ikora, who passed along intelligence that pointed to the [[Imperial Land Tank]] ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' on [[Nessus]] being key to the Caiatl's operations. Zavala dispatched the Young Wolf and other Guardians to strike at the site and gather intelligence. As the battle began, the Young Wolf recovered intelligence revealing that [[Commander Dracus]] was leading the operation. Zavala informed them that Dracus was a former [[Legionary]] of the Red Legion turned warlord and responsible for murdering many Lightless Guardians during the Red War. He ordered them to eliminate Dracus in retribution for those slain Guardians and to deny Caiatl from gaining him as a key commander in her efforts to reintegrate the Red Legion into the Cabal Empire.<ref name="BB"/> | Returning to the Last City, Zavala met with Ikora, who passed along intelligence that pointed to the [[Imperial Land Tank]] ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' on [[Nessus]] being key to the Caiatl's operations.
