Now I don't know if I'm the first to notice this but I'm saying this anyways.
There is an error in the destiny lore. Now I'm not a big lore reader but I am a major history buff and while reading up on something I discovered something that bungie should've noticed. The problem is with the Vault of glass. More specifically one of the unique units. More specifically praetorians. To put it simply praetorians were the elite guard of the land. They protected their leader faithfully and dutifully. Seems like the ones in VOG right? Well here's where you're wrong. Praetorians were the ROMAN emperor's guards. Meaning they should've been used for the cabal. They could've been properly used in a cabal raid. This shocked me in the fact that Bungie would miss something like this
Edit: to all saying that the Colossus and phalanx are a part of Greek mythology: they were also a part of the Romans too.
Edit: to those of you saying that the phalanx was Greek and the Testudo( I think that's how it's spelt) is Roman. They are the same thing just using different words.

I see what you are getting at but as the guardians encountered the Vex and fought through the ranks to reach the Vault. They must have noticed something different from that type of troop. As they dwelled deeper into the vault, they found the Vex leadership in there. As praetorions were the protectors of the emperor, these troops protected the Vex King. They were no mere monsters.
