When the [[Red Legion]] invaded the solar system and conquered the [[Last City]], imprisoning the Traveler in a [[Traveler Cage|cage]] to strip the Guardians of their [[Light]], Sloane evacuated [[Earth]] with hundreds of other Guardians and refugees under the leadership of Commander Zavala. Sloane reported to Zavala aboard one of their ships in order to begin planning their resistance to the Cabal invasion.<ref name="SPR">'''Bungie (2018/7/31)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Solstice of Heroes]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Rekindled Solstice Armor (Titan)#Solstice Plate (Rekindled)|Solstice Plate (Rekindled)]]''</ref> While leaving Earth, the fleet intercepted a encoded [[Cabal]] transmission, but were unable to decrypt it.<ref name="Hope">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Hope]]''</ref> They settled upon [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], one of the moons of [[Saturn]], as their rally point.

She found the Commander's messages to be void of hope and made it sound like the war was already lost, but found herself unable to criticize Zavala beyond asking him to be more inspiring, although Amanda had no such issues and raised their concerns to him. Sloane backed up Amanda, pointing out that they were not using most of their fuel to reach Titan to simply hide and that Zavala's message needed to include a plan for the Guardians to rally behind.

Upon the fleet's arrival at Titan, the Vanguard and refugees landed at the [[New Pacific Arcology]] to set up base and plan their counterattack, however they found that the [[Hive]] had established a stronghold there. Under Zavala's command, Sloane sent two teams to scout the Arcology to determine the extent of the Hive's infestation.

Under Zavala's command, Sloane sent two teams to scout the Arcology to determine the extent of the Hive's infestation. Both teams were wiped out in the mission but reported back enough information to confirm nearly the entire Arcology was under Hive control. Sloane reported the situation to Zavala but believed even without the Light that the Guardians could storm the Arcology and wipe out the Hive, stating that if they needed they could burn down the entire place to drive them out. Her commander did not even turn to look at her, merely lamenting that he had been a fool to come to Titan and that their strength could not match the Hive. Increasingly concerned about Zavala's demeanour, Sloane told him he was not wrong and that Titan had all the resources and technology they needed to strike back at the Cabal if they could defeat the Hive, but Zavala cut her off and ordered all forces pulled back to the landing area they secured before dismissing her.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/7/31)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Solstice of Heroes]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Rekindled Solstice Armor (Titan)#Solstice Mark (Rekindled)|Solstice Mark (Rekindled)]]''</ref> | ||

Eventually, the [[Iron Lord]] known as the [[The Guardian|Young Wolf]] arrived, claiming to have regained their Light.

Despite Zavala's worry, Sloane asked the Young Wolf to help them secure the facility and prepare their forces by capturing the control centre in [[Siren's Watch]]. With their Light, the Young Wolf easily cut through the Hive and reached the control centre. Sloane's hopes were raised by the Guardian's success, and she told Zavala that they would be able to start planning their offensive soon, but the Commander was unconvinced it would be so easy. Sloane directed the Young Wolf to clear out the Hive's breeding grounds, and they eliminated [[Ubara, Hive Prince]] to secure the area. Sloane and Zavala landed at the control centre to greet the Guardian, and she gave them a grateful nod as she entered the control room to set up the Guardian's temporary headquarters.<ref name="Hope"/> | ||
With a command | With a command centre established, Sloane and the others turned their attention to restoring power to the station. She and Amanda informed the Young Wolf that they would guide them over the comms to the pistons that needed to be restarted. As they progressed, Sloane informed them that the Fallen on Titan had followed them from Earth, and noted that they needed to get Amanda flying again so she could provide support on these missions. When the pilot reminded her that her Hawk had been heavily damaged, Sloane informed her she would have it moved to the top of the repair queue. When the Guardian reached the pistons, they learned some of them had been encased in Hive chitin, which Sloane directed to be destroyed so the pistons could function properly. When all the pistons were clear but power still did not return, Sloane suggested the Young Wolf make their way to the central power platform and flip the central circuit breaker, hoping that would be sufficient to restore power. Her solution worked, and while the others celebrated having power, Sloane told her team they had done good work but they still needed to decode the intercepted transmissions.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Riptide]]''</ref> | ||

When the Guardian returned to the command | When the Guardian returned to the command centre in Siren's Watch, Sloane took a brief moment to admire the view and thanked them for helping get the command centre powered. She then revealed that she was ready to begin plotting the Vanguard's counterattack against the Red Legion and needed their help to do it. The first step was to decode the transmissions they had intercepted using an advanced CPU that Amanda had detected deeper into the Arcology complex. Sloane warned the Young Wolf that they had no intel on the Hive presence within and was worried that they could be summoning anything in their warrens. Despite the heavy Hive presence, the Young Wolf succeeded in their mission and Sloane used the CPU to decrypt the transmissions. To her horror, she learned the Red Legion had positioned a superweapon known as ''[[The Almighty]]'' in orbit of the sun and would use it to destroy the entire solar system once they had what they wanted, and that they had done so to hundreds of other systems they conquered. Sloane briefed Zavala and the Young Wolf on the situation, and defeatedly noted that the war was already essentially lost. Zavala refused to believe that and decided that they would launch an all-out assault on ''The Almighty'' and questioned when the fleet would be ready to attack. Sloane tried to caution him, but he cut her off, noting that if they waited they would all die and that their only hope was to fight and reclaim the Last City and their Light, ending with a declaration that he needed the rest of his fireteam, [[Cayde-6]] and [[Ikora Rey]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Utopia]]''</ref> | ||
