The Traveler Cage is a Cabal armature designed to capture the Traveler. It was key to Dominus Ghaul's assault on the City.[1]

Overview

The Traveler Cage is an enormous countermeasure device designed to capture the Traveler and siphon its emissions of Light for Cabal use. This is a five-step process:

  1. The Traveler Cage unfolds six prongs and attaches itself to the Traveler..[2]
  2. The tips of the prongs detach and encircle the Traveler in long bands of machinery.[3]
  3. Initial activation. The Cage generates a force field over the bands, enclosing the Traveler and cutting off its emissions of Light. This incidentally strips Guardians of their powers and debilitates Ghosts.
  4. Repeating panels of black metal begin to spread over the surface of the force field, from the center of the Traveler Cage outward. The process takes several days to complete.
  5. The Traveler is fully caged. Light can now be extracted without issue.

Despite cutting off its Light, the Traveler Cage does not necessarily restrain the Traveler itself, as it demonstrates the ability to break free with little apparent difficulty once roused.
