'''''The Almighty''''' is a massive [[Cabal]] superweapon, stated to be the pride of the [[Red Legion]]. | |||

The Almighty | ''The Almighty'' is a colossal vessel said to be the life's work of [[Dominus Ghaul]]. It is thousands of times larger than the standard [[Cabal Warship]]s and [[Cabal Carrier|Carriers]], possibly even larger than [[Dreadnaught|Oryx's Dreadnaught]]; rivalling the diameter of [[Mercury]] in width.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmFGetMZi6s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere'']</ref> Following the conquest of a star system by the [[Red Legion]], ''The Almighty'' is sent in to extract whatever resources it can from the system and then completely annihilate it. | ||
The Almighty is | ''The Almighty'' works by consuming a nearby celestial body, breaking it down and converting it into fuel that powers an energy beam that links with the system's star on a quantum level. This link is so strong that if the Almighty were to be destroyed before decoupling, it would cause a chain reaction that would destroy both the star and the system. The energy beam gradually weakens and destabilizes the star's magnetic field to the point where it can no longer support itself and collapses into a system annihilating supernova. In the final moments before the star's collapse ''The Almighty'' severs its link with the star and warps to another system, where the process repeats. | ||

When Ghaul conquered a planet, he would use the Almighty to annihilate those that refused to submit. It is unknown how many worlds have been destroyed in this manner. After the fall of the [[Last City]], the Almighty was deployed to Sol. It began breaking down [[Mercury]] for fuel, and linked with the star in preparation for destroying the Solar System once Ghaul had obtained the [[Traveler]]'s [[Light]] for the Red Legion. Commander [[Zavala]], Deputy Commander [[Sloane]], and the [[Guardian]] resistance learned of the Almighty after hacking a high-priority Red Legion comms signal. Although they initially despaired that the [[Red War]] had already been lost, Zavala resolved to launch an all-or-nothing attack to destroy | When Ghaul conquered a planet, he would use ''the Almighty'' to annihilate those that refused to submit.

Although they initially despaired that the [[Red War]] had already been lost, Zavala resolved to launch an all-or-nothing attack to destroy ''The Almighty''. This plan was later revealed to be folly when [[Asher Mir]] used an old [[Warmind]] vault on [[Io]] to analyze the superweapon and discovered that it could not be destroyed without also destroying the Sun. | ||

The Guardian succeeded, damaging ''The Almighty's'' cooling system and causing a catastrophic failure. [[The Consul]] received word of what befell ''The Almighty'', telling Ghaul that their flagship had been damaged beyond repair. After Ghaul's defeat and the [[Traveler]]'s reawakening, the broken Almighty remained orbiting the Sun. | ||
Survivors of | Survivors of ''The Almighty's'' destruction have been found on Mercury and are currently fighting the Vex in the [[Fields of Glass]]. The Almighty itself remains in orbit between Mercury and the Sun, with half the planet floating as debris. | ||
During the War for the [[Dreaming City]] a Guardian looter boarded the derelict vessel. A trap of unknown origin was set off suspending the Guardian within a time distortion. The Guardian's Ghost was unable to revive him and estimates he will disarm the trap in 50,000 years. | During the War for the [[Dreaming City]] a Guardian looter boarded the derelict vessel.

After | After the [[Red Legion]] was thwarted of undoing their failures at the [[Sundial]], one remaining [[Psion Flayer]], [[Amtec]], commandeered ''The Almighty''. In a final act of desperation and to avenge her sisters, Amtec destroyed the vessel's propulsion and navigation systems and set ''The Almighty'' adrift on a collision course with [[Earth]], specifically targeting the [[Last City]]. Reaching Earth in a manner of weeks, [[Ana Bray]] and [[Zavala]], allying with [[Rasputin]], decided to rearm the Warmind's [[Seraph Bunkers|planetary defenses]] to destroy the encroaching ship before its entry.<ref>''[[Destiny 2]]'': ''[[Season of the Worthy]]''</ref> | ||
