After the deaths of multiple [[Red Legion]] officers, a chunk of the army left the leaderless Legion and tried to carve out their own strongholds throughout the [[Solar System]]. The first few accounts were Cabal escapees that [[The Spider]] issued bounties for, along with those hiding within the Reef. Others have been noted to have been working with the Spider instead as his associates.

Later some would go onto form the "Unbowed Legion" in the [[Solstice of Heroes]] event who submitted to no one. These deserters managed to build a stronghold by the [[European Aerial Zone]] but were unfortunately cut down by the Guardians seeking to improve themselves. It has been observed that many deserters seem to be former [[Blood Guard]] as the "Unbowed Legion" had several majors of them. This fact alone shows insight to the crippling morale of the Red Legion Cabal structure as with Ghaul and the High Command gone, the Blood Guard have lost their primary purpose.

During Penumbra, [[Emperor Calus]] would task Guardians in ending a [[Primus Cal'aug|lead deserter]] in [[The Conflux]] on Nessus in order to obtain Imperials from him and his group of Deserters. Some deserters were also observed in [[The Arms Dealer]] strike.

When the Guardian ventured to the [[Pyramid]] ship on [[Europa]], a rogue Cabal force led by [[Valus Dralgur, the Exiled]] sought to pillage the vessel for any artefacts that could be used against [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. The Opperation was not sanctioned by Empress Caiatl, allowing the Guardian to cut their way through the Cabal expidition without worry of destablising their alliance with [[Imperial Cabal|the Empire]]. Despite the Cabal's attempts to jam the Guardian's progress and even attempting to destroy the statue of Darkness deep within the Pyramid they were searching for, the Guardian was successful in communion with the statue, after killing Dralgur.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[The Communion]]''</ref>
