Sometime following the conversion of the Empire, Ghaul and the Red Legion had constructed a titanic vessel comparable to a moon in length and utter size. This vessel , which would become known as [[The Almighty]], became the centerpiece of all Cabal Fleet's along with the crown jewel of the Red Legion. It was seen as an immense engineering feat to the Cabal and held to an almost zealous or holy stature. The loss of the Almighty would be as impactful if not more impactful than the loss of Ghaul.

the Red Legion would go on to conquer hundreds of worlds at Ghaul's orders, deploying [[The Almighty]] against those who refused to surrender.

Many celebrations and ceremonies of countless victories were held by the Red Legion. One such ceremony would be interrupted by [[Rull]] and his assassination of [[Iska'al]] and [[Moli Imoli]] with Rull perishing before Ghaul just as he had killed the Everjoy. In the days immediately before the Red Legion set out to the [[Solar System]] to [[Red War|wipe out]] the [[Guardian]]s, Calus deployed his [[Shadows]] to assassinate the various conspirators behind the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him. While the Shadows succeeded in eliminating nearly everyone on Calus's hit list except [[Caiatl]], [[Umun'arath]], [[Otzot]] (additionally referenced during Insight terminus strike), [[The Consul]] and [[Dominus Ghaul]], none of them survived their mission. Although they succeeded in infiltrating Ghaul's [[The Immortal|vessel]], the Shadows perished one-by-one against overwhelming odds. Nohr slaughtered three-hundred of Ghaul's best warriors with her bladed shield before facing off against the Dominus himself.

With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]]. This led to a full on attack on the Red Legion-occupied City by more Guardians, spearheaded by the Vanguard. With pressure mounting and his temper boiling over, Ghaul murdered [[the Consul]], who criticized his obsession, and went to take the Light to become a Lightbearer himself. For a short while he fought the Guardian, Ghaul ascended into a massive figure of pure Light just as the Traveler awoke, who smited the Dominus once and for all. Even in it’s aftermath, Red Legion weapons are used in [[Shaxx]]’s [[Crucible]] to help train new Guardians.

Ghaul's death and the Legion's defeat at the City did not substantially hinder their war machine.
Ghaul's death and the Legion's defeat at the City did not substantially hinder their war machine.
====Assault on Firebase Hades====
Having regained their [[Light]] and secured victory against Ghaul, the Guardians started attacking the Legion more aggressively within the European Dead Zone. Their actions involve instigating a skirmish with the [[House of Dusk]] Fallen,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[A Frame Job]]''</ref>, directing the Taken assault on the EDZ toward the Legion,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Getting Your Hands Dirty]]''</ref> and thwarting the Psions' attempts to harnessing Taken power.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Dark Alliance]]''</ref> On top of that, [[Firebase Hades]] was subjected to the Guardians' repeated assaults, including sabotage of their anti-air defenses,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Anti-Anti-Air]]''</ref> explosive charges,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[No Safe Distance]]''</ref> electrical power,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Stop and Go]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Reverse the Polarity]]''</ref> and supply of Organogel.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Red Legion, Black Oil]]''</ref>
The Guardians had also target [[Bracus Zahn]], an infamous Cabal weaponsmith and arms dealer employed by the Legion. Wanted for arming the Legion with his illicit weaponry that killed dozens of refugees, [[Suraya Hawthorne]] and [[Cayde-6]] instructs the fireteam to infiltrate Firebase Hades and trace the Bracus' whereabouts to [[Echion Vae]]. Having occupied the carrier after Thumos' death, Zahn rallies the Legion along with his lieutenants to engage the fireteam as he tactically retreats to the roof of the warship. He called down air support for aid in his final conformation, but meets his end.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[The Arms Dealer]]''</ref> 
====Nessus Operations====
On [[Nessus]], the Red Legion had been excavating the surface of Nessus for Vex technology to weaponize. Their efforts unearthed the ancient Vex Mind [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] deep within the [[Inverted Spire (location)|Inverted Spire]], with which they could harness its unique shielding technology. However, a fireteam of Guardians manage to breach into the Legion's dig sites and destroy Protheon before they had a chance to capture it.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], Activision Blizzard, Playstation 4, [[The Inverted Spire]]''</ref>
Meanwhile, Cabal forces lead by [[Kargen, the Technocrat]] launched an incursion into the [[The Insight Terminus|Insight Terminus]], a [[Vex]] installation of great interest to the [[Psion Flayer]]. Having hacked the Vex's gate network, Kargen's attempt to steal Vex data with an [[OXA Machine]] prototype would only be thwarted by another Guardian fireteam that killed the Psion in cold blood.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], Activision Blizzard, Playstation 4, [[The Insight Terminus]]''</ref>
After Ghaul's death, the Red Legion received transmissions from the desposed [[Emperor Calus]], offering them the change to join his [[Loyalists|Loyalist]] regime aboard the [[Leviathan]]. Several elements of the Legion were sent on missions to collect geological data on the planet itself, with which the Guardians had intercept and killed.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Invitation from the Emperor]]''</ref>

Following the events of the Red War, leadership began to fracture with the death of Ghaul and a number of senior Primus and Valus personnal having been hunted and killed by Guardians in the ensuing aftermath. The line of succession eventually fell to [[Val Ca'uor]], who quickly established himself as the new leader of the Red Legion. Rather than return to [[Torobatl]] in disgrace, the newly appointed leader arranged to have the Legion's arsenal restocked and their strength rebuilt. To capitalize on the limited Guardian presence at the time, Ca'uor deployed Red Legion forces to [[Mercury]] to harness Vex technology and [[Mars]] to siphon ample energy.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last of the Legion]]''</ref>

In hopes to find a reality where they won the [[Red War]], [[Valus Thuun]] lead an invasion of survivors from the Almighty into the vast alternate realities of the [[Infinite Forest]] on Mercury. Coming close to the map of the Forest, Thuun and his forces would become trapped in an endless combat loop by the [[Vex]] and killed by [[Guardians]] on repeat. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [[Tree of Probabilities]]''</ref>
====Curse of Osiris====
After the Almighty's sabotage, Cabal survivors have occupied the [[Fields of Glass]] on the unbroken surface of Mercury. There they engage the forces of the Vex and later the Guardians.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpEUhB_4jdo&ab_channel=Shrike-DstnyOverwatch Curse of Osiris Reveal Stream #1, 31:39]</ref>

Commander [[Valus Thuun]] lead a Cabal excursion into the vast alternate realities of the [[Infinite Forest]], in hopes to find a reality where they won the [[Red War]]. Coming close to the map of the Forest, Thuun and his forces would become trapped in an endless combat loop by the [[Vex]] and killed by [[Guardians]] on repeat.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[D.F.A#Lore|D.F.A.]]''</ref> A glitch in the loop had also duplicate copies of the Red Legion which threaten to escape the forest, forcing the Guardians to push back against them.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [[Tree of Probabilities]]''</ref>


At the [[Hellas Basin]] on Mars, the Red Legion under [[Val Palusk]] instigated a raid on [[BrayTech Futurescape]] to steal power from the facility. Their efforts would only incure the [[Guardians]] to strike back with an ambush to kill Palusk and disrupt their supply chain. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/adventure-incursion Incursion]''</ref> Meanwhile, a group of Psions would make a failed attempt to evolve into Flayers by stealing power from [[Rasputin]]'s nodes, to which their efforts were thwarted by Guardians as well. All of these attempts at stealing from Mars and Rasputin came to a head under the command of [[Commander Truvul]] who lead a heist to steal  data fragments that could grant the Red Legion Rasputin's Omnikey. The operation along with Truvul himself and his two subordinate Val's was decimated and vanquished.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [[Psionic Potential]]''</ref>
====Warmind====
While the polar caps having recently been thawed by the Traveler's reawakening, the Red Legion made a push to establish a foothold over [[Hells Basin]] despite the [[Hive]] presence of the [[Grasp of Nokris]]. Cabal forces lead by [[Bracus Talurn]] attempt to occupy [[BrayTech Futurescape]] but were immediately dispatched by [[The Guardian]] and [[Ana Bray]]. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, [[Pilgrimage]]''</ref>


The Red Legion would attempt several operations against Rasputin and the Bray facility. It includes a raid orchestrated by [[Val Palusk]] to steal power from [[BrayTech Futurescape]]. Their efforts would only incure the [[Guardians]] to strike back with an ambush to kill Palusk and disrupt their supply chain. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/adventure-incursion Incursion]''</ref> Meanwhile, a group of Psions would make a failed attempt to evolve into Flayers by stealing power from [[Rasputin]]'s nodes, to which their efforts were thwarted by Guardians as well.

====Spire of Stars====
Faced with countless setbacks by the Guardians, Ca'uor would lead the Red Legion in a final push aimed to commandeer [[The Leviathan]] from Calus, to whom he loathed for being envious of Ghaul.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[The Emperor's Envy#Lore|The Emperor's Envy]]''</ref> Ca'uor launched a massive Red Legion fleet against the Emperor and his [[Loyalists]], where his forces pushed into the [[Spire of Stars]] at the top of the Leviathan itself.

However, this was not the end of the Red Legion, the Guardians started attacking the Legion more and more aggressively, instigating a skirmish with the [[House of Dusk]] Fallen, shutting down their anti-air defenses at Firebase Hades, allowing air bombing runs and raids to take place on the facility, directing the Taken assault on the EDZ toward the Legion, taking their fuel and supplies, and with the discovery of lost sectors, their leaders to came out of hiding, allowing multiple assassinations to take place. On Nessus, their commander in The Conflux, [[Primus Cal'aug]], was killed by The Young Wolf, stopping the Legion from undergoing any further operations on Nessus. On top of that, Firebase Hades was disabled, most of their supplies were stolen and they had to deal with heavy losses due to failed offensives against the City and The Fallen.
With all their major operations thwarted and the death of Ca'uor, the Red Legion are left without any centeralized leadership. Their forces became disjointed and scatter across the corners of the system.  
 
Meanwhile on Mars, things were supposedly going well for the Legion and was a sign the Legion was still a major force with it being the only place the Legion still had power over. However, with the polar ice caps melting after satellite impacts from orbit, a new threat emerged, The Grasp Of Nokris, and with that the Red Legion saw their progress on Mars quickly being undone in Hellas Basin as they fought a war with an enemy they didn't understand. It is unknown if they fought with the Grasp of Nokris all over Mars or if it was isolated to Hellas Basin.


In addition to their disheveled state, the Red Legion began suffering from multiple desertions such as those following [[Garut Gra'am]] who rooted themselves in [[Trappers Cave]]. The most prominent of these groups, the Unbowed Legion, made their debut in the EAZ during the Solstice of Heroes event in an attempt to take over the EAZ as a base of operations. Despite the group being led by [[Mouvurg, Unbowed Legion|three]] [[Daazaz Dar, Unbowed Legion|large]] [[Shogmar, Unbowed Legion|Cabal]] commanders similar to [[Ghalak the Colossus, Forge Warden]], they were quickly put to an end by the Guardians partaking in the event.
