The Midnight Coup, named for the Cabal's most infamous betrayal of Emperor Calus!
The Midnight Coup is an absolutely iconic weapon from the original Leviathan raid in Destiny 2, but it also has an infamous story behind its name. It recalls how the Consul of the old Praetorate of the Cabal was deposed brutally by Calus and of how he got his revenge by plotting a coup to overthrow him. This coup involved Dominus Ghaul and even Caiatl, Calus' own daughter. When all was said and done, Ghaul rose to rule the Cabal Empire and Calus was left exiled on the Leviathan.
