In preparation for Calus' all-out assault on the Veil's containment area, Caiatl's forces alerted her that the majority of Shadow Legion forces were shifting their attention to Neomuna's [[CloudArk]], taking Neomuna's defenses offline. After the discovery that the Shadow Legion were forcing a Taken infestation into the [[Vex Network]], with Nimbus theorizing that they were using the Taken to infiltrate the CloudArk and gain access to the Veil, the Guardian moved to stop the threat. However, as the Guardian moved through the Vex Network with guidance from Nimbus, Caital and the Guardian would hear a [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|mysterious voice]] that had been haunting the citizens of Neomuna. Caital explained that the voice felt too similar to the Nightmares encountered on The Derelict Leviathan and that this new threat was something that needed to be confronted after preventing the Taken's attempt to weaken The Veil. After the Guardian destroyed the [[Parthenios, Drifting Mind|source]] of the Taken Corruption, Caiatl asked the Guardian to return to Neomuna and their final preparations for Calus' upcoming assault. | In preparation for Calus' all-out assault on the Veil's containment area, Caiatl's forces alerted her that the majority of Shadow Legion forces were shifting their attention to Neomuna's [[CloudArk]], taking Neomuna's defenses offline.

With the threat to the CloudArk stopped, the Guardian ordered Caiatl to prepare her troops for the upcoming battle against Calus's forces while Nimbus set up turrets around Neomuna and they trained with Osiris to master [[Strand]]. Afterwards, the Guardian and Caiatl's forces made their way to the Veil's containment area as Shadow Legion forces began their march on the Veil. Unfortunately, Caiatl's forces were routed due to Shadow Legion [[Anti-Air Gun]]s set up on the outskirts of the city. The Guardian would proceed to destroy these cannons and arrive at the Vault entrance themselves. With the help of Nimbus and the Neomuna defense relay under their control, they managed to hold off the first few waves of Shadow Legion long enough for Caiatl and her forces to arrive. Upon arriving, The Empress called out the Shadow Legion, stating that they were cowards who served a "Gutless Traitor" worshipping a "False God" and to at least give them a worthy battle. A fierce battle against Shadow Legion and Imperial Cabal forces commenced, but there seemed to be no end to the onslaught of Shadow Legion forces. Once the defense relay Nimbus was operating overheated and was rendered inoperable, the Guardian and Caiatl were left with no other choice but to retreat against the Vault door. Caital stated that if today was their day to die, she and the Guardian would be immortalized in legend together. The fighting paused when Calus suddenly appeared in the sky in his psionic form and briefly recognized Caiatl on the battlefield. Before Caiatl had the chance to say anything, Calus unleashed a powerful psionic blast that obliterated everything in its path and destroyed the vault door. Only Caiatl and the Guardian were left standing. With the Veil now exposed, Caital told the Guardian to reach the Veil and protect it at all costs, while she would go deal with her father. As the Guardian made their way down through the vault, Caital fought off Calus and his Shadow Legion for as long as she possibly could, but she was ultimately outnumbered and forced to retreat. She gave one final warning to the Guardian, stating that Calus was coming for them and the Veil and asked the Guardian to give Calus the end he deserved.

The Guardian obliged and confronted Calus at the Veil itself, where a intense battle between the Guardian and the Disciple took place. Ending with the Guardian emerging victorious. | ||
After Calus's death, | After Calus's death, The Guardian's [[Ghost]] informs Caiatl that her father was no more. Surprised by this, Caital transmitted to the Guardian's location to see for herself. Upon seeing the remains of the former emperor, Caital spoke in an honorable gesture, telling her now deceased father to finally rest. Unfortunately, this victory was short lived. While everyone was distracted, The Witness took possession of the Guardian's Ghost, using it to create the link between the Veil and the Traveler. When everyone noticed this, Caiatl urged The Guardian to destroy their own Ghost. But it was already too late and the link was made. Allowing the Witness to gain access into [[The Pale Heart]], where it can enact the [[Final Shape]]. Despite this defeat, Caital was still satisfied and thanked the Guardian for bringing an end to Emperor Calus once and for all. She then stated that she would be leaving Neomuna to prepare her forces for when the time comes to confront The Witness to once and for all. | ||
