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. Using the Leviathan's own formidable weapons, the Guardians managed to decimate the Red Legion fleet blockading the Spire and killed the acting commander in a climatic battle. In the wake of losing the majority of their fleet, their ground forces and leader, the Red Legion was forced to withdrawal in disgrace. Ca'uor's death would officially mark the effective end of the Red War. | 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.

However, this was not the end of the Red Legion, the Guardians started attacking the Legion more and more aggressively, instigating a skirmish with the [[House of Dusk]] Fallen, shutting down their anti-air defenses at Firebase Hades, allowing air bombing runs and raids to take place on the facility, directing the Taken assault on the EDZ toward the Legion, taking their fuel and supplies, and with the discovery of lost sectors, their leaders to came out of hiding, allowing multiple assassinations to take place. On Nessus, their commander in The Conflux, [[Primus Cal'aug]], was killed by The Young Wolf, stopping the Legion from undergoing any further operations on Nessus. On top of that, Firebase Hades was disabled, most of their supplies were stolen and they had to deal with heavy losses due to failed offensives against the City and The Fallen. | However, this was not the end of the Red Legion, the Guardians started attacking the Legion more and more aggressively, instigating a skirmish with the [[House of Dusk]] Fallen, shutting down their anti-air defenses at Firebase Hades, allowing air bombing runs and raids to take place on the facility, directing the Taken assault on the EDZ toward the Legion, taking their fuel and supplies, and with the discovery of lost sectors, their leaders to came out of hiding, allowing multiple assassinations to take place.

Later during [[Shadowkeep]], there is a small contingent force in the depths of the [[Moon]] that work for the [[Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul]] as well as some Nightmare Cabal created by the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] there..<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/nightmare-hunt-rage?highlight=legion Nightmare Hunt: Rage]</ref> | Later during [[Shadowkeep]], there is a small contingent force in the depths of the [[Moon]] that work for the [[Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul]] as well as some Nightmare Cabal created by the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] there..<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/nightmare-hunt-rage?highlight=legion Nightmare Hunt: Rage]</ref> | ||
===Meddling with Time=== | |||
More recently a family group of [[Psion Flayers]], having commandeered [[Osiris]]' time-traveling [[Sundial]], split Mercury into three alternate timelines that threaten to span beyond the planet and into the system. It is their intention to undo Ghaul's defeat, or, failing that, gather enough Light from the future to buy their way back into Calus' favor. Though the Psion Flayer sisters, [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice]], [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer]] and [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater]], managed to create a border realm for themselves, the Guardians would ruin their plans. One by one, the Psion sisters would face the Guardians and be defeated. After weeks of their forces being eliminated, the three sisters, driven to desperation, used their vast psionic powers to merge into a single being, [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]]. Despite Inotam's vast powers, the Guardians would nonetheless prevail against her, thwarting the sisters efforts to subvert time. However, one sister remains, [[Amtec]], who was informed by her sisters of their possible demise and now schemes to avenge them. | More recently a family group of [[Psion Flayers]], having commandeered [[Osiris]]' time-traveling [[Sundial]], split Mercury into three alternate timelines that threaten to span beyond the planet and into the system.

===Almighty Collision Course=== | |||
After their crippling defeat at the Sundial, the Red Legion, headed by the escaped Psion Flayer, Amtec, decide to use the Almighty to crash into the Last City itself. With little to no choice, the Vanguard decide to cooperate with the Warmind Rasputin, with Guardians arming his [[Seraph Bunker|arsenal]], in order to save their home from destruction<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/SeasonOfTheWorthy Bungie.net Season Of The Worthy Announcement Trailer]</ref>. | After their crippling defeat at the Sundial, the Red Legion, headed by the escaped Psion Flayer, Amtec, decide to use the Almighty to crash into the Last City itself.

Despite Amtec's efforts, however, the Almighty was destroyed by [[Rasputin]], with the help of the Guardians, before it could collide with Earth, resulting in Amtec's plot ending in a total failure for the Red Legion. Amtec's final fate is unknown, but she was possibly onboard when the Almighty was annihilated and perished in the explosion. | Despite Amtec's efforts, however, the Almighty was destroyed by [[Rasputin]], with the help of the Guardians, before it could collide with Earth, resulting in Amtec's plot ending in a total failure for the Red Legion.

With the Almighty's crash site no longer in flame and its debris no longer falling from the sky, the Red Legion were reduced to a barren few after countless losses. Despite this, the Legion still operates. Several groups of Cabal interfere with the [[Contact]] public event in hopes of harnessing the phantasmal energy seen utilised in [[Unstoppable Incendior|many]] [[Barrier Colossus|Champions]] brought to the forefront. It is unknown if the Red Legion in their desperation have managed to use the energy to create Champions, or if the champions are derived from another way. It is also unknown whether or not [[Amtec]] still leads the remains of the Legion due to her possible death on the Almighty unconfirmed. As for their current fate, the remaining Cabal in the system will either turn to Calus’ Loyalists or to [[Caiatl, the Princess-Imperial]]’s regime, with the latter seeking to raise the Legion once more.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/contact?highlight=Cabal CONTACT]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/heir-apparent?highlight=Heir]</ref> | With the Almighty's crash site no longer in flame and its debris no longer falling from the sky, the Red Legion were reduced to a barren few after countless losses.
