The Red Legion is in disarray. Those few who are competent enough are called up by Calus to join his Loyalists in a harsh re-education program. The remainder of the Cabal are scattered throughout the system, governed by the few remaining Blood Guard, Bracuses and Centurions. Here’s my understanding of their current positions by location: [b]Mercury:[/b] Originally the survivors of the Almighty’s destruction, and supplemented with supplies and reinforcements by Val Ca’uor shortly after Ghaul’s death, these Cabal now fight a losing war of attrition against the greatest Vex stronghold in the system. Running low on supplies and losing troops by the day, their failure to gain any useful technology from the Infinite Forest has left them fighting a losing battle. After the deaths of the captured Psion Flayers, Valus Thuun, and the Mercury Conquerors, this force is leaderless. [b]Venus:[/b] Cabal relays in the EDZ claim there is at least Cabal base on Venus, with which Firebase Hades communicates. Given the disarray felt in the hardest Cabal bases, it’s seems that the Venus branch of Red Legion is so weak as to not pose a threat, if they haven’t been wiped out entirely. [b]Earth:[/b] Keeping most of their force in the EDZ, it is unclear what their exact presence is outside of Europe. Their force in the Dead Zone is one of their strongest, though it only fares better than those of Mercury or Venus due to the extensive infrastructure supporting the Firebase. Repeated Guardian and Fallen strikes have reduced the crippled the base itself, as its main artillery cannon, anti-air system, Goliath Tanks, subsystem power and more have all been destroyed over the recent months. The deaths of Ghaul and the Consul as well as Bracus Zahn and dozens of other minor leaders have left Firebase Hades understaffed and undersupplied. Expansion of the base has been halted by Guardian incursions into Lost Sectors, and repairs for damaged equipment seem to have halted. No Lunar Red Legion positions are recorded. [b]Mars:[/b] Still the greatest Cabal stronghold in the system (possibly excluding the Leviathan), the Red Legion reestablished the Exclusion Zone in Meridian Bay, finally removing the Virgo Prohibition from the area entirely, and destroying the original Black Garden gate. Firebase Rubicon appears to be their single strongest position, though the lack of offensive strikes from this position implies a lack of troops and supplies even here. Red Legion forces in Hellas Basin continue to fall back en masse, with the deaths of several Psion Flayers, Valus Dulurc and a whole host of Bracuses and Vals. Their failure to gain control of Rasputin or his Braytech left them with a complete mission failure. Phobos still lies empty. Firebase Thuria was left empty, and Fleetbase Korus deemed a lost cause. [b]The Reef:[/b] After the Broken Legion allowed a Trojan horse through which the Red Legion tore the Reef apart, the Cabal here were plunged into disarray after Ghaul’s defeat. Systematically rounded up in the year following their failure, the majority of these Red Legion were incarcerated in the Prison of Elders. Escaping during the Prison break, most of the Cabal his across the Tangled Shore, making enemies with the Fallen, Scorn and Hive there. Their numbers continue to dwindle as The Spider sends his contractors and allies to exterminate them. Those who remained within the prison were exterminated by the Guardian, allowing Spider to sell the Prison back to the Awoken. With the majority of the few Bracuses who led their forces dead, the Tangled Shore Cabal have an outlook similar to those of Venus or Mercury. [b]Io: [/b] With Terrabase Charon invaded and destroyed by Vex and Taken, the Cabal no longer have a permanent presence here. Aside from intermittent drilling crews, the Red Legion have been pushed from this Moon. With the decimation of the fleet that accompanied Val Ca’uor’s death, these crews can only be expected to decrease. [b]Titan:[/b] There is no Cabal presence here. [b]The Dreadnaught:[/b] With the discovery of parts from Primus Ta’aun’s flagship, Dantalion Exodus, inside Firebase Hades, it is confirmed that the Skyburners distress signal reached the Red Legion. Presumably, the Red Legion pulled the last of the Skyburners troops and supplies from the Dreadnaught, leaving zero presence on the ship. [b]Nessus:[/b] The true Cabal seat of power is Calus’ Leviathan, sitting in orbit around Nessus. As for the Red Legion, Nessus was their strongest fleet position until that fleet’s destruction at the hands of Guardians and Calus. Without ships to move supplies and troops, those Red Legion left on Nessus are left without strongholds or supplies. The deaths of Primus Cal’aug, Kargen and Val Ca’uor have left the Cabal leaderless, with their drill sites and incursions into the Insight Terminus providing no useful advantage in their disadvantageous position. In summary: The Red Legion fleet connects between the Legion’s last Bastions: Meridian Bay, Firebase Hades, and the Cistern. I’m by no means an expert, so let me know what I got wrong.
