When Ghaul conquered a planet, he would use the Almighty to annihilate those that refused to submit. It is unknown how many worlds have been destroyed in this manner. After the fall of the [[Last City]], the Almighty was deployed to Sol. It began breaking down [[Mercury]] for fuel, and linked with the star in preparation for destroying the Solar System once Ghaul had obtained the [[Traveler]]'s [[Light]] for the Red Legion. Commander [[Zavala]], Deputy Commander [[Sloane]], and the [[Guardian]] resistance learned of the Almighty after hacking a high-priority Red Legion comms signal. Although they initially despaired that the [[Red War]] had already been lost, Zavala resolved to launch an all-or-nothing attack to destroy the Almighty. This plan was later revealed to be folly when [[Asher Mir]] used an old [[Warmind]] vault on [[Io]] to analyze the superweapon and discovered that it could not be destroyed without also destroying the Sun. | When Ghaul conquered a planet, he would use the Almighty to annihilate those that refused to submit.

The [[Vanguard]] decided on a two-pronged approach: [[The Guardian]] would board and disable the Almighty before it could finish sapping the Sun, while the Guardian resistance launched an attack to reclaim the Last City. The Guardian succeeded, damaging the Almighty's cooling system and causing a catastrophic failure. [[The Consul]] received word of what befell the Almighty, telling Ghaul that their flagship had been damaged beyond repair. After Ghaul's defeat and the [[Traveler]]'s reawakening, the broken Almighty remained orbiting the Sun. | The [[Vanguard]] decided on a two-pronged approach: [[The Guardian]] would board and disable the Almighty before it could finish sapping the Sun, while the Guardian resistance launched an attack to reclaim the [[Last City]].

Survivors of the Almighty's destruction have been found on Mercury and are currently fighting the Vex in the [[Fields of Glass]]. The Almighty itself remains in orbit between Mercury and the Sun, with half the planet floating as debris. | Survivors of the Almighty's destruction have been found on Mercury and are currently fighting the Vex in the [[Fields of Glass]].
