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. | 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.

Two days later, barely surviving the fall, the Guardian and their damaged Ghost linked up with others, and with little choice, they evacuated the Last City. With the Legion firmly controlling the City, any of the Lightless Guardians who were unable to evacuate were hunted and executed on the spot. | |||
Despite Ghaul's success in attacking the City and the loss of the Light, the Guardian refused to give up the fight, and after setting up a camp in the [[European Dead Zone]], they sought out to gain new powers and began developing a counterattack against the Red Legion. | Despite Ghaul's success in attacking the City and the loss of the Light, the Guardian refused to give up the fight, and after setting up a camp in the [[European Dead Zone]], they sought out to gain new powers and began developing a counterattack against the Red Legion. | ||

As Ghaul began to occupy the Last City, he also established a massive ship outside of the sun, [[The Almighty]], which projected a beam of energy directly into it, slowly destabilizing the sun. With this, in the event the system continues to resist or when the Cabal are done with the system, The Almighty will cause the sun to go Supernova and destroy the System. | As Ghaul began to occupy the Last City, he also established a massive ship outside of the sun, [[The Almighty]], which projected a beam of energy directly into it, slowly destabilizing the sun.

Additionally on [[Nessus]], Ghaul sent some his Red Legion forces in order to occupy the planetoid and begin drilling into the Vex ruins that lied there. The Red Legion's drilling operations awakened the Vex and [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] and their activities alerted the Fallen there, engaging them as well. Another Red Legion force was sent to the moon of [[Io]], where they began to drill into the planet to access the latent Traveler energies within the moon, hoping to see if its possible to harvest and control the Light.

However, their actions attracted the remnants of the Taken, catching the Cabal off-guard and a great many of them became Taken themselves. It was clear that a new mysterious entity has begun to direct the Taken in the absence of [[Oryx]]. | ||

After succeeding in taking down Thumos and stealing his personal ship, the Guardian travel to the Almighty to disable the massive weapon. Despite fighting past elite defenders and dealing with the intense solar rays, the Guardian succeeds in disabling the Almighty's coolants, causing it to malfunction, rendering it inoperable. Escaping the massive warship, the Guardian informs the Vanguard of their success and head back to Earth to join the fight. On that cue, the Vanguard initiates their attack to liberate their home. Despite the loss of their light, the Vanguards forces succeed in breaking through the Red Legions defenses and set up the Vex device but are wounded in the process. Despite this, the Guardian successfully uses the device and boards Ghaul's command ship, the Immortal, which is at the center of the Light-restraining device. Bypassing the ships forces, the Guardian reaches top of the ship and encounter Ghaul once more. This time, however, Ghaul has forcibly taken a portion of the Traveler's Light to battle with the Guardian with abilities similar to the theirs. | After succeeding in taking down Thumos and stealing his personal ship, the Guardian travel to the Almighty to disable the massive weapon.

Despite his power, Ghaul is killed by the Guardian but suddenly reincarnates as a massive ethereal being and speaks to the Traveler directly which awakens the ancient entity after centuries of slumber. Upon awakening, the Traveler destroys the device restraining it and destroys Ghaul once and for all.

For the first time in all history, the Red Legion have been defeated and the entirety of the Cabal have been left leaderless and demoralized at the loss of their emperor. | For the first time in all history, the Red Legion have been defeated and the entirety of the Cabal have been left leaderless and demoralized at the loss of their emperor. | ||
Unbeknownst to Guardians and the other inhabitants of the Solar System, at the moment the Traveler awoke and released its Light, that wave of Light continued spreading well beyond Earth. Eventually, it passed through extragalactic space beyond the bounds of the Milky Way, rousing an [[Unknown extragalactic race|unknown fleet]] from dormancy. The fleet turned towards the source of the Light and presumably began traveling to it. | |||

Though the Guardians succeeded in killing the head of the Cabal, Dominus Gaul's predecessor, [[Emperor Calus]], returned to reclaim control of his empire. Traveling to the Solar System aboard his massive ship, [[The Leviathan]], Calus immediately set to work on reclaiming the Cabal empire and gave elements of the now leaderless Red Legion the chance to "join the loyalist regime," sending them on missions to collect geological data on Nessus. These transmissions are intercepted in the [[Adventure]] ''[[Invitation from the Emperor]].'' Calus intended to convert the soil of the planet into "Royal Wine". | Though the Guardians succeeded in killing the head of the Cabal, Dominus Gaul's predecessor, [[Emperor Calus]], returned to reclaim control of his empire.

Calus was also aware of the Guardians and their efforts in slaying Ghaul. Offering them an audience with him, the Guardians travel to his palace on board The Leviathan and accept the exiled Emperor's challenge. Passing each of the challenges and defeating scores of Loyalist's forces, the Guardians face against Calus in his throne room. After a long battle, the Guardians damaged Calus but revealed a machine in the emperor's place. Regardless, the Guardians succeed in destroying the duplicate and before its destruction, Calus boasts about his power, offering them a place at his side and knowledge of the "real truth" about the universe and the purpose of the Traveler. | Calus was also aware of the Guardians and their efforts in slaying Ghaul.
