Reaching Sol, Calus and the Loyalists learned of [[Guardian|other warriors]] in the system that might serve his purposes. <ref name="SB">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Fulminator#Shadow.27s_Bond|Shadow's Bond]]''</ref> Arriving over Nessus after the death of Ghaul, the former Emperor of the Cabal and his Loyalists arrived in the Solar System aboard their massive craft and immediately set to work on reclaiming the Empire. He gave elements of the leaderless Red Legion the chance to "join the loyalist regime," sending them on missions to collect geological data on Nessus. These Red Legion, those that did not fail, would integrate with the Loyalist regime. | Reaching Sol, Calus and the Loyalists learned of [[Guardian|other warriors]] in the system that might serve his purposes. <ref name="SB">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Fulminator#Shadow.27s_Bond|Shadow's Bond]]''</ref> Arriving over Nessus after the death of Ghaul, the former Emperor of the Cabal and his Loyalists arrived in the Solar System aboard their massive craft and immediately set to work on reclaiming the Empire.

Calus extended an invitation also to [[The Guardian]] to board his vessel for slaying Ghaul. The Guardians accepted Calus' challenge and following a long journey through Calus' palace and defeating his loyalist army, the Guardians seemingly meet Calus in person in his throne room. Facing off against the exiled Cabal Emperor, the Guardians survive his strange powers and after dealing critical damage to him, they found that the Calus they were facing was really a robotic duplicate. Regardless, the Guardians succeed in destroying the robot. Before the destruction of the machine, Calus boasted about his power and claims to know the "real truth" about the galaxy and the purpose of the Traveler. Nonetheless, he rewards the Guardians for completing his challenge and offers them a place by his side should they seek him out. | Calus extended an invitation also to [[The Guardian]] to board his vessel for slaying Ghaul.

Some months later, Emperor Calus called upon the Guardians again when his Leviathan broke off a chunk of Nessus that contained a powerful Axis Mind, Argos, Planetary Core, thus clogging up the massive vessel. After a perilous struggle against the Axis Mind, the Guardians succeed in disabling its shield and destroy the mind. However, with Argos's shield gone, the Guardians were soon to be devoured by the inferno of the Leviathan. Fortunately, Calus saves the Guardians and rewards them for their success and the Cabal Emperor once again offers them more than just the power of the Light, as Calus demonstrated that he can keep them safe. He also cryptically warns them that the "end" is near and therefore must be ready, as he will find them again. | Some months later, Emperor Calus called upon the Guardians again when his Leviathan broke off a chunk of Nessus that contained a powerful Axis Mind, Argos, Planetary Core, thus clogging up the massive vessel.

It would appear despite the Guardians' intervention, a vast amount of Loyalists had been killed as every proceeding encounter on the Leviathan with the Loyalists afterwards shows far fewer Cabal members. | It would appear despite the Guardians' intervention, a vast amount of Loyalists had been killed as every proceeding encounter on the Leviathan with the Loyalists afterwards shows far fewer Cabal members. | ||
During the time of Forsaken, Calus had begun to slip some Loyalist spies amongst the Red Legion's ranks such as [[Taurg, Disguised by the Emperor]]. Many of these spies were former Red Legion themselves. | |||
