The red legion is dead
Reduced to atoms!
All that remains are Val's and Bracuses desperately clawing for soldiers and territory. The red legion has failed for the first and last time in their GLORIOUS history, not even Caiatl the Princess imperial could reforge such lowly brutes (despite that fact that's probably EXACTLY what's gonna happen somehow smh)
What the Cabal need now are new legions, each specializing in different tasks. WE HAD THIS BACK IN D1! All we need is different coloured red Legion soldiers and we'll be happy (for the most part)
In all seriousness, enemy sub factions did wonders for the lore. Creating great amounts of depth within enemy races, all stemming off of a different colour pallet
It's probably too late though... Hopefully we'll get sub factions back someday

Even though cabal are cool, Funny story: Remember that Centurion Oryx took right after you landed on the Dreadnaught, then the Centurion and the taken Ogre tried to stop you from killing the King? Heh... didn't work. So the Centurion's bond brothers are pretty angry they lost their commander. They're leading a team to blow up the Dreadnaught's core. Core goes... most of the system goes with it. You're going to make sure that doesn't happen.
