Empire cabal

The **Cabal**, sometimes informally
called "War Rhinos" or "Space Turtles," a warmongering race of giant
bipedal humanoids with a heavy-set, rhinoceros-like appearance. Their
ever expanding empire spreads through organization, efficiency, and
corruption [5]—their occupation of Mars is but a fraction of their full might.[6] Few Guardians
 who have encountered the Cabal live to tell the tale, and on every
front they have been found to dig in deep, fortifying their
installations with razor wire.[7] The Cabal's actual name for their species is still unknown to us for the time being.

## Histoire

### Formation de l'Empire

According to Cabal myth, the first Emperor was a hero named Acrius who allegedly took the sun. [17] In the earliest days of this new empire, the Cabal emperor ruled alongside the venal military aristocracy known as the Praetorate, which allowed the people to suffer so the Legions who served them could grow. [18]

### Fall of the Praetorate and Rise of Calus

Upon Calus's
 Inauguration, he had the wasteland cleared of any stone or plant in
order to have a desert of pure white. Three days later, a violet
pavilion was constructed and Calus's court was recreated in every
detail. [19]
 The first act of his coronation was to send the Consul into the
wasteland as a symbol for the revolution he would soon bring. During his
 reign, Calus decided to purge the corrupt Praetorate and he and his
imperial guard marched into the temple where the former Cabal senate
convened and assassinated them. [20] He then granted citizenship to the various Legions and set Evocate-General Umun'Arath as Primus of All Legions. [18]

During this time, Calus moves the Capital to Torobatl so it could
 be closer to his people, throwing parades daily as he bought from the
local market places. Following his "great purge", Calus spoke to the
people at Dau'uss, announcing that he had repossessed the wealth and plunder of the Praetorate elite. [18]

Centuries after destroying the Psions' clairvoyant OXA Machine, word reached the emperor that it had been rebuilt on the moon of Brand. The Evocate-General then sent her ships to bomb the moon but Calus stopped her ships and instead proposed an alliance with Otzot, the Psion which rebuilt the machine. [18]

### Early Exploits

Calus's
 reign was not without personal troubles. He was wary of Umun'arath, his
 Evocate-General, for her paranoia and obsessive fixation on war. His
own daughter and heir, Caiatl, grew up similarly despite his efforts.

One of Calus's pleasures was the coliseum, and one day, an albino
 gladiator named Ghaul made his first appearance there. Ghaul's patient
skill and unusual coloration soon made him a favorite of Calus's, and
the Emperor eventually made him Primus of the Red Legion, where his
talents would be put to better use. Calus grew to love Ghaul like a son,
 and believed they were kindred spirits who both envisioned a newer,
more perfect world. Ghaul's association with The Consul and members of
the Praetorate worried him, but not enough.

### Coup d'état et exil de Calus

Behind
 Calus's back, Ghaul was in fact organizing a coup with the Consul and
some of Calus's closest friends and advisors: Umun'arath, Shayotet,
Otzot, Moli Imoli, Iska'al,
 and Caiatl. Ghaul launched his coup in the dead of night. With the
Emperor too popular to simply execute, Ghaul, his Red Legion, and the
Consul arrested Calus and a number of supporters in his own court and
exiled aboard The Leviathan, taken far from the Empire along a
pre-programmed course.

On the Leviathan, Calus wallowed in despair for an unknown amount
 of time until a strange event shook him out of his stupor. The
Leviathan had come up against an expanse of utter nothingness, shorting
out the navigation systems and the course the conspirators had set.
Calus looked into the void and came to an understanding, believing that
it had chosen him to carry out a great victory on its behalf. From that
point on, Calus was changed, and took control of his own fate. He sought
 revenge.

With control of the Leviathan back in his hands, Calus set out on
 a long voyage of his own, "[plumbing] the secret places of the cosmos",
 visiting strange realms and old ruins. This cemented both his
conviction that his hedonistic philosophy was correct and his intent to
retake his empire. Along the way, he gathered forces to strengthen his
Loyalists. He created the Shadows as his elite champions, allied with aliens such as the Clipse and the Sindu,
 and sent messages promising that whoever slew his conspirators would be
 given great wealth and glory. Eventually, he set a course for the Sol
system, which the Red Legion was planning to assault. He sent his
Shadows to assassinate Ghaul and failed, but he learned of other
warriors in the system that might serve his purposes.

### Arrivée dans le Système solaire

The Cabal's scouting legions arrived in the Solar System at some point following the Collapse. Encountering no meaningful opposition, they established a beachhead on Phobos, constructing massive facilities such as Fleetbase Korus[21] and Firebase Thuria[22] before invading Mars. Their initial intention was to mine Mars for resources, but the scope greatly expanded upon discovery of the Vex ruins.[23]

A Ghost
 that had infiltrated a Cabal base on the planet took note of visible
dissent among their ranks: while some remained loyal to the Empire and
obeyed their ancient orders without question, others did not, and
tensions between the two groups may presage a schism.[24]
 It is possible that some Cabal were aware of Ghaul's coup against the
Emperor, which may have been an additional source of tension, but the
transmissions for this do not make it clear whether all of the Martian
Cabal knew, or if they had taken any sides[25]. One unit, the Broken Legion commanded by Valus Trau'ug, even mutinied, massacring his superiors and attacking the Reef without authorization, resulting in their capture by the Awoken. For Trau'ug's treason and failure, Cabal High Command disavowed the entire legion, leaving them in the Prison of Elders.[26]

### La Guerre contre les Corrompus

Prior to the start of the Taken War, the Vanguard speculated that a new task force, a "second fleet" led by the Skyburners, was being assembled at Phobos for the purpose of invading Earth. After the arrival of Oryx, the Taken King and his Dreadnaught, however, the Cabal were forced to evacuate their Fleetbase and other sites in the system due to Taken
 infestations. In the ensuing battles, various detachments across Phobos
 and Mars suffered enormous casualties against the Taken, with the Sand
Eaters losing 58% of their troops, the Blind Legion losing 35%, and the
Dust Giants losing 39%.[27] In addition, the entire local Cabal fleet was mobilized, and any ship that was not already on the move by the time the Guardian arrived on Phobos was believed to have been destroyed.[28]
With the Skyburners being redeployed to reinforce the other
battered Cabal during the course of the Taken War, the campaign against
Earth was temporarily placed on hold. Following this considerable
setback, Primus Ta'aun, commander of the Skyburners, sent a report up the Cabal chain of command suggesting that the Hive
 technology aboard the Dreadnaught could be co-opted for Cabal use.
Ta'aun also proposed any technology recovered could be used against
Guardians, as the Primus had begun to realize that the Cabal battle
strategy was becoming hopelessly mired in a losing attrition war with
the City.[1] His report reached Dominus Ghaul, who then ordered Ta'aun to personally board and capture the Hive vessel by any means necessary.[14] In the aftermath of the Battle of Saturn, Ta'aun rammed his warship, the Dantalion Exodus VI, into the Dreadnaught in order to establish a beachhead. While leading a squad through the Mausoleum in an attempt to reach Oryx's ascendant realm, Ta'aun was Taken and transformed into Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx.[29] Ta'aun's bond-brothers Valus Mau'ual and Valus Tlu'urn then ventured deep into the Dreadnaught and planted explosives at its power core,
 either as part of a preconceived plan to force the Hive's surrender or
to avenge their lost Primus or both. If allowed to succeed, the blast
would have destroyed half of the Solar System. Fortunately, the two Shield Brothers were stopped by a Guardian fireteam before the explosives could be detonated.[30]
 Their leaders vanquished, the surviving Cabal on Dantalion Exodus VI
transmitted a distress signal to the rest of the Empire. Though the
Guardian disabled this signal, they were unable to prevent it from
reaching its intended recipient.[31]
 The remaining Skyburners on the Dreadnaught continued to fight a
desperate struggle to survive as their beachhead was slowly overrun by
Hive and Taken.

Meanwhile on Mars, the Cabal clashed with the resurgent House of Wolves, who had gathered on the red planet to heed the call of their new God-Servitor Orbiks Prime.
 Weakened by the casualties suffered in previous conflicts, the Cabal
were unable to evict the scavengers as they took the Cabal's
subterranean labyrinths for their own. The Guardians solved the problem
by destroying the Servitor, leaving the Wolves broken once more.[32]

Shortly after Oryx's defeat, a New Monarchy
 agent sent a report to his Executor superior which noted the depletion
of Cabal leadership: the Skyburners' Primus and his bond-brothers, Primus Sha'aul, Valus Ta'aurc,
 Valus Trau'ug, and a large mass of lesser Vals and Bracuses all dead or
 heavily outnumbered. The New Monarchy believed that in the face of such
 staggering losses, the Cabal Empire would have no choice but to respond
 to the Guardians' attacks.[33]

### La Guerre rouge

Two years after the Taken War and one year after the SIVA Crisis The Cabal Empire's response would finally arrive. The Red Legion
 under the command of Dominus Ghaul who would launch a devestating
assault on the Last City which was carried out flawlessly. Taking the
City by surprise, the Red Legion rapidly overwhelmed it and destroyed
the Tower while his cage device latched onto the Traveler. Ghaul's forces took particular care to capture the Speaker alive, as the Dominus was interested in his connection to the Traveler. In a desperate plan to kill him, The Guardian boarded his flagship, The Immortal,
 and destroyed its shield generator in advance of a concentrated attack.
 This attack never materialized, and Ghaul personally stepped out to
confront the Guardian. As the two faced off, the Cage activated its
suppressive shield and stripped the Guardian -- all Guardians -- of
their Light. His victory assured, Ghaul beat and mocked the Guardian
before kicking them off of the Immortal. Dominus Ghaul and his Red
Legion had succeeded where previous forces had failed to accomplish for
centuries, invading the Last City and defeating its Guardians.

Days later, aboard the Immortal, Ghaul implored the Traveler to
choose him and join his empire. The Consul, in contrast, only viewed it
as an advanced machine, and advised Ghaul to simply seize its Light by
force. Ghaul disagreed with the Consul's approach and had the Speaker
brought to him, seeking to use him to gain the Traveler's approval.

In addition to conquering the Last City, he sent his prized warship, The Almighty,
 to the systems sun to destabilize it and cause it to go supernova
should the system resist any further. His remaining forces have been
sent to the European Dead Zone to hunt the remaining Guardians, to Io to mine the remaining energy from the Traveler and to Nessus
 to study the Vex. Ghaul also sent a powerful force to Mars to reinforce
 the Cabal forces there, finally driving the Vex from Meridian Bay and
destroying the portal to the Black Garden.

For a time, the Red Legion maintained complete control of the
Solar System but a few Guardians were able to regain control of their
Light from interacting with a Shard of the Traveler in the European Dead
 Zone. In doing so, they began to fight back against the Red Legion,
humiliating their forces. Gathering the Remnants of the Vanguard, the
Guardians plan a resistance to reclaim the Last City and disable the
Almighty. Despite the loss their Light, the Vanguard Leadership launched
 the attack to reclaim the Last City while the Guardian boarded the
Almighty and permanently disable the super weapon and headed back to
Earth to join the fight. Hearing of both the attack and the loss of the
Almighty, the Consul angrily demanded Ghaul to take the Light from the
Traveler to destroy the Guardians. The Dominus. however, remained
adamant that he needed to prove his worth to be chosen by the Traveler.
However, in his rage, the Consul released the weakened Speaker and
ranted that Ghaul had already been chosen, not by the Traveler but by
the Consul, the day he found him as an orphan and raised him to be the
warrior who would deliver their people and promise him vengeance.
Convinced by this argument but angered by the Consul's arrogant
insubordination, Ghaul killed his old adviser while swearing to take the
 Light by force.

At the top of his warship near the Traveler's Cage, Ghaul faces
off against the Guardian he defeated before but this time infused with
some of the Traveler's Light, giving him similar abilities to the
Guardians. However, the Light that was bestowed upon him was corrupted.
After a fierce battle between the two Light-infused warriors, Ghaul was
nonetheless defeated. With his death, Ghaul attempts to use Radiance,
 and is resurrected as a massive ethereal figure due to his corrupted
Light, and he declares himself immortal as he speaks to the Traveler
directly. In doing so, the Traveler wakes from its slumber, destroying
the device that was harvesting its power and then destroys Ghaul
himself, sending a massive shockwave across the planet and system,
restoring the Light and ending Ghaul's threat forever. With their Light
restored, the Guardians succeeded in reclaiming the City and drove the
Red Legion away. For the first time in history, the Red Legion has known
 true defeat and their seemingly undefeated leader was now dead.

Despite Ghaul's death and the liberation of the Last City, the
Red Legion continue to carry on the Red War but have become seriously
weakened and demoralized at the loss of their leader. Even so, the
Guardians continued to battle with the Red Legion across the System. The
 Guardians succeeded in thwarting numerous and desperate plots the Cabal
 planned to give them an advantage, from using Taken energy to
strengthen their forces, to destroying Protheon, Modular Mind before they could utilize the Axis Mind as a weapon, and acquiring deadly weapons from Bracus Zahn and his disgraced forces.

The Legion is currently active on Mercury, following Ghaul's death. They are currently at a stalemate with the Vex on Mercury.

### Retour de Calus

After
 the death of Ghaul, the former Emperor of the Cabal, Calus, arrived in
the Solar System aboard his massive craft, the Leviathan, and
immediately set to work on reclaiming the empire. He gave elements of
the leaderless Red Legion the chance to "join the loyalist regime,"
sending them on missions to collect geological data on Nessus. These
transmissions are intercepted in the Adventure *Invitation from the Emperor.* Calus intended to convert the soil of the planet into "Royal Wine".

Calus extended an invitation to The Guardian
 to board his vessel for slaying Ghaul. The Guardians accepted Calus'
challenge and following a long journey through Calus' palace and
defeating his loyalist army, the Guardians seemingly meet Calus in
person in his throne room. Facing off against the exiled Cabal Emperor,
the Guardians survive his strange powers and after dealing critical
damage to him, they found that the Calus they were facing was really a
robotic duplicate. Regardless, the Guardians succeed in destroying the
robot. Before the machines destruction, Calus boasted about his power
and claims to know the "real truth" about the galaxy and the purpose of
the Traveler. Nonetheless, he rewards the Guardians for completing his
challenge and offers them a place by his side should they seek him out.

## Technology

The Cabal rely upon a thick, black, oil-like substance
 to fuel and supplement much of their technology. It is composed of many
 unidentified chemicals, and is potentially toxic to non-Cabal.[51] They possess technology, or potentially individuals
 which enable them to shape and transform the features of planetoids,
much like the Hive, but not on the level of the Traveler. This
technology has been used by them to draw Mars's moon, Phobos, very close
 to the planet.[16]
 They are capable of engineering on enormous scales, as demonstrated by
the Traveler Cage, the Almighty, and the Leviathan, and routinely
destroy planets for fuel or simply for "getting in the way." [52]
 Through the Traveler Cage, they demonstrate the ability to manipulate
Light via technological means, and can even forcibly bestow it on beings
 not originally blessed by the Traveler.

## Trivia

* The official *Destiny* guide mentioned an additional Cabal legion, the Bone Crushers, but this Legion never appeared in the game.[53]
* A cabal is a group of people united in some close design together,

usually to promote their private views or interests in a church, state,
or other community, often by intrigue. Usually when organizations are
labelled "cabal" it is a negative connotation that implies dark or
sinister intent.[54]

* Many Cabal units are named after features of the Roman Empire’s

military. Legionaries are the foot soldiers of both armies, Phalanx is a
 military formation, and Centurions were officers in the army.

* Until *The Taken King*, the Cabal were the only enemy species who did not share a world with the Fallen. *The Taken King* added the remnants of the Fallen House of Wolves to Mars.
* Concept art showed Cabal working together with Fallen, indicating a possible alliance between the two races similar to that of the Covenant from Bungie's acclaimed *Halo* franchise.[55][56] However, this was later revealed to be concept art of the Taken.
* Strangely enough the Cabal Colossi are not completely helmeted but

have their lower face exposed. This could be a developer oversight.

* Not all Cabal have two syllables and commas in their names, as proven by the Red Legion.

In the Cabal Booklet it appears that females of the Cabal race are capable of growing Tusks,similar to Elephants.
