{{Hide|Following the arrival of the [[Imperial Cabal]], led by [[Empress Caiatl]], in the Sol System, Saladin was asked by Commander [[Zavala]] to be the field commander of a taskforce dedicated to keeping the Cabal from reorganizing and starting a new war against humanity. Saladin eagerly agreed, regretting not having participated in the [[Red War]], and was determined to wipe out the Cabal once and for all to prevent them from ever harming humanity again.

Contacting the Young Wolf at the [[H.E.L.M.]], Saladin briefed them on their first mission. He complimented them on their first victory over Caiatl's forces on [[Nessus]] and noted that [[Osiris]] had informed him that they had interrupted a Cabal ritual known as the [[Rite of Proving]], which Osiris had compared to the [[Crucible]], although Saladin did not see the similarities. He noted that the remnants of the [[Red Legion]] sought to earn Caiatl's favor through the Rite and that that would exploit that by challenging every contender for the Empress's [[War Council]] and prevent any seats from being filled, preventing the Cabal from reorganizing and starting another full-scale war. Thanks to a report from Crow, Saladin had their next target lined up: [[Basilius the Golem]], who was seeking [[Golden Age]] relics on [[Europa]] to offer to Caiatl in hopes of augmenting Cabal forces with cybernetic and [[Exo]] tech. Saladin ordered the Young Wolf to stop this plot and prevent the Cabal from creating an army of Exo-Legionaries.<ref name="CPB"/> After Basilius's elimination, Saladin sent a message to the Young Wolf complimenting them on their efforts, but expressed frustration at Zavala's determination not to enter into total war against the Cabal. They would thus continue targeting other commanders | Contacting the Young Wolf at the [[H.E.L.M.]], Saladin briefed them on their first mission.

Saladin soon learned that [[Val Ma'rag]] was leading a Cabal assault against the [[Hive]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] in revenge for the [[Fall of Torobatl]] to the Hive God of War [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. Briefing the Young Wolf, Saladin ordered them to eliminate Ma'rag before he could achieve his objective and earn a place on Caiatl's War Council. Saladin was concerned that a victory by the Imperial Cabal in the Cosmodrome would lead more Cabal there to establish a Firebase, threatening a region which regularly produced new Guardians from Ghosts searching the ruined shipyard.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Challenger's Proving II]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/war-table-challengers-proving-ii-2 Challenger's Proving II 2]</ref>}} | |||
