This aggressive and relentless Vex Collective is in constant conflict with the [[Cabal]], repeatedly testing the Cabal's [[Exclusion Zone]] without regard to their own losses. In spite of the Vex onslaught, the Cabal have managed to expand their Exclusion Zone and control several Vex structures. The Virgo Prohibition's tactics seem to be failing in the short run but due to the nature of the Vex, it is possible that the Virgo Prohibition is simply drawing out the Cabal's strength (as evidenced at [[Bastion]]<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible_Arenas#Bastion|Bastion]]''</ref>) and that their losses could be a distraction from a deeper strategic ploy, as it seems unlikely that such an intellect as the Vex could be dragged into a losing war of attrition.<ref name="virgo">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Virgo_Prohibition|Virgo Prohibition]]''</ref> Recent events have borne this out as the Prohibition began appearing in greater number in [[Meridian Bay]] to protect the [[Black Garden]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[A Rising Tide]]''</ref> | This aggressive and relentless Vex Collective is in constant conflict with the [[Cabal]], repeatedly testing the Cabal's [[Exclusion Zone]] without regard to their own losses.
