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 artifacts that could be used against [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. The operation was not sanctioned by Empress Caiatl, allowing the Guardian to cut their way through the Cabal expedition without the worry of destabilizing their alliance with [[Imperial Cabal|the Empire]]. Despite the Cabal's attempts to jam the Guardian's progress and even attempt to destroy the Darkness statue deep within the Pyramid, 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> | 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 artifacts that could be used against [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]].

Over the years, several Cabal defectors tried to find glory and profit on their own as pirates. Many of these would become part of the crews of [[Fallen]] that long plagued the [[Solar System]]'s space, or recruit the Eliksni to be part of their own companies. Several of these crews answered the call of [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] when she put out a bounty on artifacts of Darkness scattered across the system. They would enter into conflict with [[The Guardian]], who fought with the backing of the Spider and the [[House of Light]] for control of these relics. | Over the years, several Cabal defectors tried to find glory and profit on their own as pirates.
