In the aftermath of the [[Fall of Torobatl|fall]] of the [[Cabal]]'s homeworld and capital [[Torobatl]], [[Empress Caiatl]] sought to gather the full remaining strength of the Cabal Empire by reclaiming the [[Red Legion]] from the [[Sol System]]. She also sought to bring [[Humanity]] and its [[Guardian]]s into the Cabal Empire as full citizens to combine their strength against the [[Hive]] and [[Darkness]]. Commander [[Zavala]] and his advisor [[Osiris]] met with the Empress to discuss terms, but refused to bow before her. Zavala subsequently ordered a strike against [[Commander Dracus]], a war criminal who aspired to become part of Caiatl's [[War Council]], on [[Nessus]] near a recently deployed [[Imperial Land Tank]] ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' in order to secure information on what the Cabal's plans were.<ref name="BB">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]: [[Behemoth (Battleground)|Behemoth]]''</ref> | |||
The Vanguard put together a task force commanded by Lord [[Saladin Forge]] to combat the Cabal incursions and prevent them from reforming a command structure in the Sol System. Osiris joined the task force and brought in [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] as a recon expert, while [[Amanda Holliday]] was in charge of air support.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[A Challenger Rises]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-war-table The War Table]''</ref> The task force began gathering evidence on the Cabal's plans and how best to combat them, determining that disrupting the [[Rite of Proving|Rites of Proving]] that Caiatl was using to form her War Council could prevent a full-scale war from erupting. Saladin opposed this strategy, instead advocating for escalating the conflict and wiping out the Cabal entirely. Zavala opposed this, arguing that the Vanguard could not fight such a war without heavy casualties leaving them vulnerable to the other foes.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/debriefing Debriefing]''</ref> | |||

The Cabal soon opened a new front in their war when they sought revenge against the [[Hive]] for the fall of their homeworld | The Cabal soon opened a new front in their war when they sought revenge against the [[Hive]] for the fall of their homeworld Torobatl. [[Val Ma'rag]] sought vengeance and a place on Caiatl's War Council by assaulting the Hive nests in the abandoned [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]] on [[Earth]]. Establishing a makeshift firebase in the ruins of the [[Lunar Complex]], Ma'rag led his forces into the Hive warrens before being surrounded in [[Skywatch]]. The Vanguard's attention was drawn by the Cabal's presence on Earth and they sent in a team to eliminate Ma'rag. Although the Val was defeated, the Cabal continued to reinforce their position in the Cosmodrome to destroy the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds|Battleground]]: [[Foothold]]''</ref> | ||
With the continued presence of the Cabal and Hive threatening Vanguard control of the region, [[Shaw Han]] was tasked by Zavala to keep the region secured, as it remained a key source of new Guardians found by [[Ghost]]s. He was provided with [[Redjacks]] to help defend their holdings. During a battle in the [[Mothyards]], Shaw's lines were pushed back as the Cabal established entrenched machine gun positions and repeatedly charged his defensive positions. He requested reinforcements from the Vanguard, resulting in Saladin himself arriving to aid Shaw with Amanda providing air support. The two Guardians held the line while Amanda launched the [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Siegfried]] from her jumpship to smash into the Cabal's fortifications with the [[Fist of Havoc]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[THE SWARM]]''</ref> | With the continued presence of the Cabal and Hive threatening Vanguard control of the region, [[Shaw Han]] was tasked by Zavala to keep the region secured, as it remained a key source of new Guardians found by [[Ghost]]s.
