Centuries after taking power in the Cabal Empire, [[Primus Ta'aun]] of the [[Skyburners]] legion sent a report to the Cabal High Command detailing the destruction of [[Fleetbase Korus]] on [[Phobos]] at the hands of a [[Hive]] fleet led by [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. This report reached Ghaul who gave Ta'aun explicit orders to board the [[Dreadnaught]] and eliminate Oryx. Following the [[Taken|taking]] of Ta'aun and the deaths of [[Valus Mau'ual]] and [[Valus Tlu'urn]], Cabal forces on the [[Dreadnaught]] sent a detailed distress signal to Ghaul.

Ghaul's assault was carried out flawlessly. Taking the City by surprise, the Red Legion rapidly overwhelmed it and destroyed the [[Tower]] while his [[Traveler Cage|cage device]] latched onto the Traveler. Ghaul's forces took particular care to capture the [[Speaker]] alive, Ghaul being interested in his connection to the Traveler. In a desperate plan to kill him, [[The Guardian]] boarded his flagship, the ''[[The Immortal|Immortal]]'', and destroyed its shield generator in advance of a concentrated attack. This attack never materialized, and Ghaul personally stepped out to confront the Guardian. As the two faced off, the Cage activated its suppressive shield and stripped the Guardian -- all Guardians -- of their Light. His victory assured, Ghaul beat and mocked the Guardian before kicking them off of the ''Immortal''. | Ghaul's assault was carried out flawlessly.
