On Nessus, the Red Legion had been drilling into the [[Inverted Spire]], hoping to study and utilize [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] as weapon but the Vex responded violently, causing a warzone to break out near the drilling sights. The Vanguard learned of the legions efforts and sent in the Guardians to destroy Protheon before the Red Legion could capture the Vex Mind. After battling past Vex and Cabal forces, the Guardians descend into the Inverted Spire and face off against the Vex entity. Despite its firepower and altering the battlefield, the Guardians succeeded in destroying Protheon, depriving the Vex of an Axis Mind and the Cabal of a potential new weapon. | |||
On Io, the Vanguard pin-point the Vex's machine conversion of the moon at [[The Pyramidion]], centered by Brakion, Genesis Mind. Not only do the Vanguard want to put a stop to the Vex's plans to turn Io into another [[machine world]] but also prevent any lingering Taken from corrupting the Genesis Mind into a powerful Taken entity. Storming the Pyramidion, the Guardians, guided by Asher Mir, evade Vex traps, Vex defenders and Taken enemies and enter a pit that leads to the Genesis Mind. Battling the Vex Mind, the Guardians succeed in destroying Brakion, hindering the Vex's efforts to convert Io and granting Asher Mir as sense of vengeance as it was Brakion who nearly converted him into a Vex machine. | |||
On Titan, the Guardians worked with [[Sloane]] in stabilizing the New Pacific Archology's foundation to prevent it from sinking into the sea while also aiding in missions to drive the Fallen and Hive off. During said missions, the Guardians discover multiple Hive rituals with the purpose of sinking the Archology but were stopped by the Guardians at every turn. Sloane discovered a center point for these rituals deep beneath the Archology and sent in teams to investigate. All went dark and none returned. Worried, Sloane sends in the Guardians to look for the lost teams and find out what the Hive are up to. Breaching Hive defenses, the Guardians discovered strange crystal emanating Void Light which they find strange as only Guardians can generate Void Light. Traveling further, the Guardians make radio contact with a Guardian named Taeko-3 who was captured by the Hive and learn that the Hive are forcibly extracting Void Light from Guardians to create the crystals to power a powerful Shrieker, [[Savathun's Song]]. Though the Guardians were unable to save the captured Guardians, they were successful in destroying the Shrieker, avenging the fallen Guardians and preventing another Hive attempt to sink the [[New Pacific Archology]]. | |||

The Red War[2] is an ongoing system-wide war being fought in the Solar System, between the Guardians of the Last City, Cabal Red Legion, and other races of the Solar System.
After years of fighting against the proxy forces of the Darkness and emerging victorious, the Guardians found themselves outmatched when the Red Legion launched a surprise attack on the Last City itself, destroying the Tower and sealing away the Traveler's Light. With their powers and arsenals lost and their home destroyed, the Guardians retreated to the European Dead Zone to recover and plan a counterattack in order to save their home and legacy from Ghaul.

Prelude
The threat of the Red War began years ago during the final segments of the Taken War after the Skyburners Legion failed in their mission to assume control of the Hive Dreadnaught and find a way to defeat the Guardians. In light of their catastrophic losses to both Guardians and the course of the Taken War, the remaining Cabal forces began transmitting a detailed distress signal directed to Dominus Ghaul.
Though the Guardians intercepted the Cabal forces and shut down the transmission, it was nonetheless received. In addition to this, many officials in the Last City feared an attack as a result to all their successes, as a New Monarchy agent explained that with so many officers, field commanders and Primuses dead or on the run, the Cabal Empire would have no choice but to respond.
Surprise attack
- "How do we come back from this?"
"You don't." - — Ghost and Dominus Ghaul
During a brief period of peace, the Vanguard discovered that all of their outer defenses, satellites and outposts went dark and in the cover of a storm, the Cabal Red Legion approached the outer territories of the Last City unnoticed. At the time, the Vanguard were having a meeting, when Zavala quickly noticed the approaching warships, forming a Defender bubble to defend the Vanguard. In one swift attack, the Red Legion severely devastated the Tower, but the Vanguard leadership survived and aided in the fight against the Red Legion troops. As the Legion's fleet assaulted the City, a mysterious massive aircraft latched onto the Traveler. During the chaos, the Speaker was swiftly captured by the Red Legion, leaving the City and its Guardians questioning his whereabouts. Despite this, civilians were successful in evacuating but the Vanguard was quickly overwhelmed.
Conquest of the Light
- "The City is secure. Those who fled, are being hunted, and those fools that remain have been executed."
- — The Consul
The Guardian attempted to disorganize the enemy by disabling the Cabal command ship and though they succeeded in infiltrating the ship and in destroying the Shield generators, no reinforcements could make it, and they were confronted by Dominus Ghaul himself. There the Cabal Emperor activated the Light-restraining device upon the Traveler, encasing it in a force field. This act cut the Guardians off from the Traveler's Light, effectively crippling them. Ghaul savagely beat the weakened Guardian, even sending them off of his command ship along with their Ghost, plummeting to the devastated city below.
