 [[File:RedLegionCity.jpg|300px|thumb|right|The [[Red Legion]] fleet attacking [[The City]]]]
-Two years after the [[Taken War]] and one year after the [[SIVA Crisis]] The Cabal Empire's response would finally arrive. The [[Red Legion]] under the command of Dominus Ghaul who would launch a devastating assault on the Last City which 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, as the Dominus was interested in his connection to the Traveler. In a desperate plan to kill him, [[The Guardian]] boarded his flagship, [[The 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. With his victory assured, Ghaul beat and mocked the Guardian before kicking them off of the Immortal. Dominus Ghaul and his Red Legion had succeeded where previous forces had failed to accomplish for centuries, invading the Last City and defeating its Guardians.

With his victory assured, Ghaul beat and mocked the Guardian before kicking them off of the Immortal. Dominus Ghaul and his Red Legion had succeeded where previous forces had failed to accomplish for centuries, invading the Last City and defeating its Guardians.
 Days later, aboard the Immortal, Ghaul implored the Traveler to choose him and join his empire. The Consul, in contrast, only viewed it as an advanced machine, and advised Ghaul to simply seize its Light by force. Ghaul disagreed with the Consul's approach and had the Speaker brought to him, seeking to use him to gain the Traveler's approval.
-In addition to conquering the Last City, he sent his prized warship, [[The Almighty]], to the systems sun to destabilize it and cause it to go supernova should the system resist any further. His remaining forces have been sent to the [[European Dead Zone]] to hunt the remaining Guardians, to [[Io]] to mine the remaining energy from the Traveler and to [[Nessus]] to study the Vex. Ghaul also sent a powerful force to Mars to reinforce the Cabal forces there, finally driving the Vex from Meridian Bay and destroying the portal to the Black Garden.

 For a time, the Red Legion maintained complete control of the Solar System but a few Guardians were able to regain control of their Light from interacting with a Shard of the Traveler in the European Dead Zone. In doing so, they began to fight back against the Red Legion, humiliating their forces. Gathering the Remnants of the Vanguard, the Guardians plan a resistance to reclaim the Last City and disable the Almighty. Despite the loss of their Light, the Vanguard Leadership launched the attack to reclaim the Last City while the Guardian boarded the Almighty, permanently disabled the superweapon, and headed back to Earth to join the fight. Hearing of both the attack and the loss of the Almighty, the Consul angrily demanded Ghaul to take the Light from the Traveler to destroy the Guardians. The Dominus. however, remained adamant that he needed to prove his worth to be chosen by the Traveler. However, in his rage, the Consul released the weakened Speaker and ranted that Ghaul had already been chosen, not by the Traveler but by the Consul, the day he found him as an orphan and raised him to be the warrior who would deliver their people and promise him vengeance. Convinced by this argument but angered by the Consul's arrogant insubordination, Ghaul killed his old adviser while swearing to take the Light by force.
