At some point, the Emperor Calus has received news of Ghaul’s forces in the Sol System. Believing it was the right time, he sent his [[Shadows of Calus|Shadows]] to eliminate the Dominus once and for all.'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/shadows-cloak Shadow's Cloak]'''''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/robes-of-the-fulminator Robes of the Fulminator]'' They failed.'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/grips-of-feltroc Grips of Feltroc]'' | At some point, the Emperor Calus has received news of Ghaul’s forces in the Sol System.

At some point, the former Emperor Calus has received news of Ghaul’s forces in the Sol System, believing it was the right time, he sent his [[Shadows of Calus|Shadows]] to eliminate the Dominus once and for all, however, despite their best efforts, all of them have died horribly.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/plate-of-nohr?highlight=ghaul Plate of Nohr]</ref> | |||
With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]]. This led to a full on attack on the Red Legion-occupied City by more Guardians, spearheaded by the Vanguard. With pressure mounting and his temper boiling over, Ghaul murdered [[the Consul]], who criticized his obsession, and went to take the Light to become a Guardian himself. For a short while he fought the Guardian. Ghaul was defeated and the Traveler awoken, who ended the Dominus once and for all. Even in it’s aftermath, Red Legion weapons are used in [[Shaxx]]’s [[Crucible]] to help train new Guardians. | With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]].

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.{{citation needed}} 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.{{citation needed}} 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.{{citation needed}} | 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.{{citation needed}} 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.{{citation needed}} 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.{{citation needed}} | ||

At some point during [[Forsaken]], Red Legion could be found in the [[Tangled Shore]] as well as a group of Cabal have found their way into the [[Cathedral of Scars]] in the [[Dreaming City]] during [[Gambit]] matches.{{citation needed}} | |||
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> | |||
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.{{citation needed}} | 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.
