Following the Hive resurgence on the Moon, the Vanguard would have to contend with a controversial decision made by its Guardians as they traveled to [[Europa]] and battled with the Fallen [[House of Salvation]]: the wielding of the power of [[Stasis]], an ability directly linked to the Darkness. Though Zavala understood the logic of wielding Stasis as akin to "fighting fire with fire", he nonetheless believed that the Guardians cannot make compromises with the Darkness, even though its power proved essential in defeating the House of Salvation and their leader, [[Eramis]]. As a result, Zavala made the policy that banned Guardians into wielding Stasis. However, many Guardians disagreed with this ban, believing that in order to prevent another Collapse and save their home, they must be willing to beyond what the Light's abilities can provide. As such, despite the ban becoming official, Zavala couldn't enforce it as there were already too many Guardians learning how to master Stasis, rendering the ban moot. Ikora Rey, likewise, was starting to understand that Stasis can be used as a tool in the Guardian's arsenal, much like the Light, with the Warlock Vanguard recalling that the Light isn't fundamentally good as the Warlords of old once wielded the Light to suit their selfish purposes.

Sometime later, the Vanguard would represent the Last City after Cabal Empress [[Caiatl]] approached Commander Zavala and made him an offer: in exchange for the Guardians kneeling before her, they would join forces and combat the Black Fleet that had arrived in the Solar System. As expected, Zavala and the Guardians refused, thus forcing the Vanguard into a series of wargames against the Cabal, pitting them against Caiatl's strongest champions. After many long struggles, the Guardians under Zavala's leadership succeeded in slaying Caiatl's champions, forcing the Cabal Empress in agreeing to a ceasefire. However, as the treaty was about to be officiated, dissenters in Caitail's forces nearly assassinated Zavala but were thwarted thanks to [[Crow]], newly revealed to the former Awoken prince Uldren Sov, and Caitail herself who killed one of the would-be assassins. Despite this, the treaty was agreed upon, a ceasefire between the Cabal Empire and the Last City was now official, with Caitail declaring that if any of her people object to it and continue to make war with the Last City, then they will left to the Vanguard's justice.
