The Guardian attempted to disrupt the enemy by disabling the Cabal command ship. Though they succeeded in infiltrating the ship and destroying its shield generators, no reinforcements could arrive. At the outer deck, 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 that crippled the Guardians' connection to the Traveler's Light. This immediately weakened the Guardian, allowing Ghaul to simply kick them off his ship. | The Guardian attempted to disrupt the enemy by disabling the Cabal command ship.
