With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]]. This led to a full on attack on the Red Legion-occupied City by more Guardians, spearheaded by the Vanguard. With pressure mounting and his temper boiling over, Ghaul murdered [[the Consul]], who criticized his obsession, and went to take the Light to become a Guardian himself. For a short while he fought the Guardian. Ghaul was defeated and the Traveler awoken, who ended the Dominus once and for all. Even in it’s aftermath, Red Legion weapons are used in [[Shaxx]]’s [[Crucible]] to help train new Guardians. | With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]].

Ghaul's death and the Legion's defeat at the City did not substantially hinder their war machine. | Ghaul's death and the Legion's defeat at the City did not substantially hinder their war machine. Red Legion forces headed by [[Kargen, the Technocrat]] hacked the [[Insight Terminus]] on [[Nessus]] for [[Vex]] technology while [[Psion]]s were also attempting to evolve into [[Psion Flayer|Flayers]] by tapping into the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] on [[Mars]]; both efforts were thwarted by the Guardians. | ||

Thus, Val Ca'uor led a large Red Legion fleet to pry the Leviathan from the former Cabal Emperor. | ||
Following Val Ca'uor's invasion, Emperor Calus ordered a Guardian response team to repel the Red Legion, offering further riches and rewards upon their success. The Guardians heeded the exiled emperor's call and ascended the Leviathan's spire, just as the acting commander destroyed one of Calus's robotic proxies. Upon confronting Ca'uor, the Guardians engaged the Red Legion's elite forces to prevent them from taking control of the Leviathan. Using the Leviathan's own formidable weapons, the Guardians managed to decimate the Red Legion fleet blockading the Spire and killed the acting commander in a climatic battle. In the wake of losing the majority of their fleet, their ground forces and leader, the Red Legion was forced to withdrawal in disgrace. Ca'uor's death would officially mark the effective end of the Red War. | Following Val Ca'uor's invasion, Emperor Calus ordered a Guardian response team to repel the Red Legion, offering further riches and rewards upon their success.
