Red Legion

The Legion was last deployed in response to the [[Skyburners]]' distress call to attack the [[Last City]] on [[Earth]], launching a successful invasion of Earth and the Last City. Using the [[Traveler Cage]], they managed to cripple the Last City and devastate the [[Guardians]], leaving them vulnerable and displaced.

Soldiers of the Legion utilize highly advanced technology, far more advanced than that of their older [[Sand Eaters|scouts]]. On [[Io]], they attempted to drain Io of its abnormal light which accidentally summoned the [[Taken]], forcing them to leave their many dig sites.

On Mars, perhaps one of there greatest achievement in the system was ending the war with the Vex, the remaining Legions gathered for one final assault and the Red Legion led the charge. Then it happened, with one huge punch, the stalemate against the Vex was broken, they made stunning progress, destroying the Virgo Prohibition, taking the Bastion and destroying the Gate to the Black Garden ensuring the Vex could never again make an attempt to take Mars back and squeezing them out of the Bay. What the other legions couldn't do, the Red Legion did just like that.

With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', which can destroy suns was under attack by a Guardian and was disabled. 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 was successful and combated the Guardian. However, 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.

Line 22:

Around the time the [[Hive]] faction, the [[Grasp of Nokris]], began emerging from the [[Hellas Basin]] on Mars, [[Val Ca'uor]] led a Red Legion fleet against [[the Leviathan]] in order to seize it from Calus and weaponize it.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Emperor's Envy]]''</ref> Ca'uor's forces were repelled by [[The Guardian]] and was assassinated afterward, thus leaving the Red Legion leaderless again, weakened and further demoralized.

However, this was not the end of the Red Legion, the Guardians started attacking the Legion more and more aggressively, instigating a skirmish with the [[House of Dusk]] Fallen, shutting down there anti-air defenses at Firebase Hades, allowing air bombing runs and raids to take place on the facility, directing the Taken assault on the EDZ toward the Legion, taking there fuel and supplies, and with the discovery of lost sectors, there leaders to came out of hiding allowing multiple assassinations to take place. On Nessus, there commander in The Conflux, [[Primus Cal'aug]], was killed by The Young Wolf, stopping the Legion from undergoing any further operations on Nessus.

On top of that, Firebase Hades was disabled, most of there supplies were stolen and they had to deal with heavy losses due to failed offensives against the City and The Fallen.

Meanwhile on Mars, things were supposedly going well for the Legion and was a sign the Legion was still a major force with it being the only place the Legion still had power over. UNTIL. With the Ice melting after impacts from the surface, a new threat emerged, The Grasp Of Nokris and with that they were now seeing there progress on Mars quickly being undone in Hellas Basin they now fought a war with an enemy that they didn't understand, it is unknown if they were fighting the Grasp of Nokris all over Mars or it was isolated to Hellas Basin, however they were getting there butt's kicked by a tiny Hive sect.

In addition to their disheveled state, the Red Legion began suffering from multiple desertions such as those following [[Garut Gra'am]] who rooted themselves in [[Trappers Cave]]. The most prominent of these groups, the Unbowed Legion, made their debut in the EAZ during the Solstice of Heroes event in an attempt to take over the EAZ as a base of operations. Despite the group being lead by [[Mouvurg, Unbowed Legion|three]] [[Daazaz Dar, Unbowed Legion|large]] [[Shogmar, Unbowed Legion|Cabal]] commanders similar to [[Ghalak the Colossus, Forge Warden]], they were quickly put to an end by the Guardians partaking in the event.
