'''Clash of the Chosen''' was a conflict between the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Imperial Cabal]] after [[Empress Caiatl]] entered the [[Sol System]] seeking to bring the [[Red Legion]] back into the Cabal Empire and convince [[Humanity]] to become her vassals for war against the [[Hive]] and [[Darkness]]. Both sides sought to prevent the conflict from erupting in open war through a series of [[Rite of Proving]]s, resulting in one final rite between the Chosen champions of both sides to determine who dictated the terms of a treaty. | '''Clash of the Chosen''' was a conflict between the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Imperial Cabal]] after [[Empress Caiatl]] entered the [[Sol System]] seeking to bring the [[Red Legion]] back into the Cabal Empire and convince [[Humanity]] to become her vassals for war against the [[Hive]] and [[Darkness]].

Following the Guardians' victory in the Rite, Empress Caiatl met with Commander Zavala and the Crow aboard a neutral vessel to finalize their treaty. With a ceremonial blade, Caiatl bound their treaty in blood and proceeded to hand the blade over to the commander. However, dissenters and traitors within Caiatl's ranks disagreed with their empress's calls for peace with humanity, being responsible for the first attempt on Zavala's life, and thus conspired to continue the war to avenge themselves over their repeated losses and failures, led by Yirix. With a Psion sniper using Light-restraining technology that they stole from the Lasty City's weapon foundries, Zavala's Ghost was disabled, leaving him vulnerable, granting the sniper the opportunity to strike. Fortunately, having accompanied the commander, Crow managed to save Zavala, taking the shot instead, though this revealed himself as Uldren Sov to the commander. When that failed, the psion carrying the blade attempted to finish the job himself but was thwarted by Empress Caiatl herself, slamming the traitor to the ground, instantly killing him. Professing her innocence, the Empress ordered her guards to find the other attackers as she able to finish the peace treaty with Zavala. | |||
Though the armistice officially ended the war between humanity and the Cabal Empire, the traitors and dissenters with Caiatl's forces refused to accept it, even as the Empress disavowed those who valued personal honor over the good of the empire, personally executing one of the conspirators. As such, Caiatl decreed that any who wish to continue fighting the Last City will be left to face the Vanguard's justice, thereby allowing the Guardian to handle these rouge cabal without reprisal. The armistice also brought a sense of hope within Zavala that he could forge an actual alliance with the Cabal Empire against the Black Fleet that had returned within the Sol System, having come to a respectable understanding with the Empress. | |||
With her assassination attempt thwarted, the traitor Yirix remained determined to achieve vengeance in the name of Amtec and her fallen sisters, gathering the dissenters into her ranks to prepare her next move. She would use these traitors as the main force in her operations to spread propaganda against Empress Caiatl, supposedly being supplied and supported by Caiatl's father, the former Emperor of the Cabal, Calus. | |||
