The Almighty is a massive Cabal superweapon and the flagship of the Red Legion's fleet.

Overview

The Almighty is an enormous vessel, hundreds of times larger than Cabal warships and carriers and rivaling the size of the Dreadnaught.^[1] It is said to be Dominus Ghaul's life work. After the Red Legion completes its conquest of a system, it deploys the Almighty to demolish it.

The Almighty works by consuming a nearby celestial body, breaking it down for fuel which in turn powers an energy beam that links with a star on a quantum level; as a result, if the Almighty were to be destroyed while still linked to a star, it would take the star with it and still destroy the system. The energy beam gradually destabilizes the star's magnetic field, weakening it to the point that the star collapses into a supernova. In the final moments before the explosion, the Almighty severs its link with the star and teleports to safety. It is unknown how many systems the Almighty has obliterated over the centuries of Ghaul's reign.

History

Destiny 2 spoilers

After the fall of the Last City, the Almighty was deployed to Sol. It began breaking down Mercury for fuel, and linked with the star in preparation for destroying the Solar System once Ghaul had obtained the Traveler's Light for the Red Legion. Commander Zavala, Deputy Commander Sloane, and the Guardian resistance learned of the Almighty after hacking a high-priority Red Legion comms signal. Although they initially despaired that the Red War had already been lost, Zavala resolved to launch an all-or-nothing attack to destroy the Almighty. This plan was later revealed to be folly when Asher Mir used an old Warmind vault on Io to analyze the superweapon and discovered that it was linked to the Sun.

The Vanguard decided on a two-pronged approach: The Guardian would board and disable the Almighty before it could finish sapping the Sun, while the Guardian resistance launched an attack to reclaim the Last City. The Guardian succeeded, damaging the Almighty's cooling system and causing a catastrophic failure. The Consul received word of what befell the Almighty, telling Ghaul that their flagship had been damaged beyond repair. After Ghaul's defeat and the Traveler's reawakening, the broken Almighty remained orbiting the Sun.

-The Almighty is a massive weapon rivaling the size of the [[Dreadnaught]]. It orbits outside of the Sun and houses a Cabal base on its surface.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmFGetMZi6s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere'']</ref> When it fires at a star, it begins to destabilize its magnetic field by magnetically linking the star to be destroyed and itself until the magnetic field is lost. Then as a result of the loss of the field, the star collapses into a supernova and destroys the solar system of which the star was part of, while the Almighty teleports to a new location. The Almighty relies on a celestial body as fuel, such as Mercury. As a side effect, the celestial body used as fuel is broken apart. It is said to be [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul's]] life work. After [[The Guardian]] disables the Almighty's weapon, the weapon itself remains dormant near the sun and Mercury remains broken apart, but due to the Traveler's light spreading through the Milky Way, Mercury was most likely restored (not completely, as it is still a [[Machine World]] controlled by the Vex) and the Almighty was probably either destroyed or sent elsewhere.
