 Following the vanquishing of the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] at the hands of the Guardians, Empress Caiatl, the new head of the Red Legion entered the Sol System and extended to the fractured remnants seats on her [[War Council]] through [[Rite of Proving]]. Recruiting many into [[Caiatl's Emissaries|emissaries]] of the [[Imperial Cabal]], the Red Legion served under several new directives at the behest of aspiring champions. Spread across their old strongholds of Nessus, Earth, and leading a new incursion to the [[Europa|Europan]] front, the Red Legion began to actively compete amongst each other for glory and positions along with offer tribute to Caiatl. With the prospect of the failed alliance with the Guardians, many of these erected grounds flooded with Red Legion seeking to defend the glory of the Empire alongside their Imperial aspirees.<ref>https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/SeasonOfTheChosen</ref>

Defending the Halphas Electus, Dracus and a large group of Cabal fought valiantly against the Guardians yet fell nonetheless and had their tribute pillaged.

+In the shadows of the broken Red Legion, a Conclave of independent Psions and Cabal would form in [[Amtec]]'s name seeking retribution. The Conclave would meddle in secrecy before acting in the cover of [[Empress Caiatl]]'s advent to the system. Whether it be from under Caiatl and using the information for their own purposes or creating it on their own and pinning it in her name, the Conclave struck a vault in the Last City belonging to [[Häkke]] where they salvaged the remains of the [[Traveler Cage]].<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/salvagers-salvo?highlight=Salvager%27s</ref> Understanding the inability to destroy [[The Last City]], [[Yirix]] would instead seek crippling of its leadership in Amtec's name. Gathering the Conclave under her, Yirix and the cell worked in secret - dispatching members to [[Nessus]] in the [[Battlegrounds|hopes]] of harnessing the [[Vex]] Prediction Engines to assist them in their goal. After amassing the information they had sought, futures in which the [[Commander Zavala|Vanguard Commander]] suffered a final death, the Conclave aimed to destabilize the [[Guardians]] and their leadership, using the refined Light-Extraction and Detainment tech derived from [[Dominus Ghaul]] to achieve so after having tested it repeatedly in the field.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/the-palindrome?highlight=palindrome</ref><ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/the-crow-challengers-proving-iv</ref>
+The assassination attempt would go awry, having been so close to success yet foiled by [[Uldren Sov|The Crow]] with Commander Zavala being warned and killing the Psion assassin. The attempt was seen as committed on Caiatl's behalf with the Cabal Empress claiming it had not been her. Despite the failed attempt, the Conclave would not languish and continue its operations in secrecy. It is unknown if Amtec continues to lead the Conclave or if Yirix has taken place in her stead. It is also unknown that if Amtec is even alive nor if she continues to masquerade as Commander amongst the Red Legion.
