The '''Neon Wraiths''' is a research and development detachment distinguishable by their black armor and cyan painting and lights, with a few bearing an icy appearance thanks to the effects of Stasis. Commanded by former [[Primus]] [[Forum:Dominus Xaruun (reworked)|Xaruun]], the weapons development group splintered off the [[Red Legion]] prior to the [[Red War]] to freely conduct research on hostile weaponry and tactics to repurpose for themselves. Following the events of [[Beyond Light]], the Legion would utilize some intercepted [[House of Salvation]] tech, comms and abducted engineers and begin researching the [[Darkness]] and it's paracausal abilities, eventually developing a means of harnessing [[Stasis]] much like their [[Fallen]] prisoners. They serve as the main antagonists of the [[Forum:Season of Strife|Season of Strife]].

Before the [[Red War]], the once esteemed [[Primus]] of the [[Red Legion]], [[Forum:Dominus Xaruun (reworked)|Xaruun]] would begin to question the current technological power and standing of his group as well as the potential and inevitable future of his army were they to go through with the plan to harvest the [[Traveler]]'s Light. Over time, the Primus would begin to rally a bunch of his most loyal followers, trusted lieutenants and most brilliant minds technological and scientific minds before finally splintering off from the legion to form their very own, taking with them a good deal of the fleet, including an experimental planet-cracker ship, [[Forum:The Indomitable|The Indomitable]]. Despite becoming traitors of the Cabal Empire, the Red Legion would ignore the mutiny and would continue with their plan to assault Humanity's [[The Last City|Last City]]. Without the threat of the undoubtedly larger Legion they came from, the Wraiths would finally begin work on new weapons, tactics and vehicle designs in peace, utilizing scrap metal and circuitry from extra weaponry and extraneous Warships and their reserves of vehicles. At the time, such accomplishments included Hoplite, Vilicus, Argonaut and Aestus infantry, the different [[Scorpius|Scorpius]] turret variants, Slug Repeater, Excavation Rifle and Drill Launcher weaponry and Imperator dropships.

As curiously foreseen by the still-Primus Xaruun, the [[Red War]] would ensue, resulting in a catastrophic defeat for the Red Legion. Now scattered and headless, many Red Legion soldiers would find themselves under the banner of the Neon Wraiths and would offer up much more of their equipment and ships to help with the cause, including some of Xaruun's former colleagues such as a then-Valus [[Forum:Primus Thru'urn|Thru'urn]], [[Forum:Kabratos, the Destroyer|Kabratos]] and a recovering [[Forum:Thumos, Blood of Phantoms|Thumos]], who was recovered by Xaruun's agents. While the Wraith's forces continued to grow in size and might, it was only after the death of [[Val Ca'uor]] when Xaruun took up the mantle of [[Dominus]] for the sake of his allies and to possibly unite more of his forces. With more and more deserters joining his cause, and more clever minds filling his ranks, more technologies rolled in including the highly advanced Desolator and Accipiter drones taken from interrogated [[Fallen]] engineers. Despite that, they would continue to build their forces around the extraterrestrial planetary moons and dwarf planets such as Callisto, Oberon and Pluto, keeping a close eye on the exploits of the Red Legion remnants and even encouraging much of their actions, such as covertly guiding the [[Almighty]] towards the [[Last City]].

Following the [[Season of the Chosen]], now armed with the powers and weaponry of [[Stasis]], [[Forum:Dominus Xaruun (reworked)|Xaruun]] finally ordered the Wraiths out of the shadows and into war. With all of the factions in a weakened state and the Vanguard still deciding a plan of confrontation with the [[Pyramids]], the Wraiths easily overwhelmed their opponents and laid claim to the various corners of the [[Solar System]] and established their strongholds and research operations all over. Although the Legion, with all of it's might, has yet to make their move against the Last City, the [[Vanguard]] would organize a plan of counterassault against the Legion, calling all Guardians to do everything in their power to sabotage their operations and take out their leadership, most notable of which was one of the Legion's [[Primus]]'s who was currently scouting and overseeing most of the Legion's current operations, [[Forum:Primus Pro'taul|Primus Pro'taul]].
