While the polar caps having recently been thawed by the Traveler's reawakening, the Red Legion made a push to establish a foothold over [[Hellas Basin]] despite the [[Hive]] presence of the [[Grasp of Nokris]]. Cabal forces lead by [[Bracus Talurn]] attempt to occupy [[BrayTech Futurescape]] but were immediately dispatched by [[The Guardian]] and [[Ana Bray]]. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, [[Pilgrimage]]''</ref>

The Red Legion would attempt several operations against Rasputin and the Bray facility.

Despite their losses, several holdouts of Cabal still had possessed spoils of war from their initial conquest of the City. This includes a [[Volundr Forge|Forge]] scavenged from the [[Black Armory]] that they stashed away at [[Smidur's Cavern]] in the EDZ. Their attempts to weaponize their Cabal arsenal with its experimental phase radiance technology were met with [[~~Guardians~~]] looking to reclaim the forge for [[Ada-1]], killing [[Ghalak the Colossus, Forge Warden]] in the process.

In addition to their disheveled state, the Red Legion began suffering from multiple desertions such as those following [[Garut Gra'am]] who rooted themselves in [[Trappers Cave]]. The most prominent of these groups, the Unbowed Legion, made their debut in the EAZ during the Solstice of Heroes event in an attempt to take over the EAZ as a base of operations. Despite the group being led by [[Mouvurg, Unbowed Legion|three]] [[Daazaz Dar, Unbowed Legion|large]] [[Shogmar, Unbowed Legion|Cabal]] commanders, they were quickly put to an end by the Guardians partaking in the event.
