When the [[Owl Sector]], a civilian scientific organization working alongside the Vanguard, found a strange mite had been infecting the Guardians' armor and replicating at an incredible rate, the Last City was put under quarantine restrictions. The civilians worked together with the Vanguard and Ikora Rey's [[The Hidden|Hidden]] to contain the outbreak, going as far as to reach out to the Reef's [[Techeun]]s for help and researching old Golden Age data logs concerning [[SIVA]] in hopes of finding a way to stop the epidemic. The cure was eventually developed thanks to the Owl Sector's liaison to the Vanguard [[Shun Li]] falling ill and serving as a test subject--though not without hazard to his life.

Two years after the [[Taken War]], the [[Cabal Empire]] launched a major invasion of Earth, headed by the commander of the [[Red Legion]] and emperor of the Cabal Empire, [[Dominus Ghaul]]. The Red Legion launched a massive surprise attack on the Last City, completely devastating the last bastion of [[Humanity]] and the [[Tower]]. During the inital attack, a [[Traveler Cage|massive cage]] of Cabal design was attached to the [[Traveler]], which constricted its power and allowed the Commander of the Legion, [[Dominus Ghaul]], to extract and use its [[Light]] for himself. This left Guardians cut off from the [[Light]], thus severely crippling their ability to fight back against the invaders.

Thankfully, [[Commander Zavala]] and [[Anastasia Bray]], with the help of [[Rasputin]] and the [[Guardian]], were able to reactivate the Warmind's [[Seraph Bunker|Seraph countermeasures]]. Mere days before the Almighty's collision with the City, [[Warsat]]s bombarded the ship until it finally exploded in low orbit. Debris from the Almighty's core crashed along the side of a mountain near the city, unleashing a massive shockwave that inflicted minor damage to the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|New Tower]]. Ultimately, however, the Last City survived Amtec's plot. | ||

A short time after, a [[Vex]] simulation began to affect the City, causing massive strains on the power grid among other issues.
