The '''Stone Breakers''' are a [[Cabal]] forward heavy infantry force used as a last resort in an attempt to turn the tide of battle whenever any Cabal detachment is in need of reinforcements. They are the most dangerous Cabal detachment yet, as of the time Primus Tho'urgh came into power.

This detachment is mostly made up of [[Centurion]]s and Colossi, but it offers a few new units to reinforce their purpose of being a last-resort military group. They are aggressive, durable soldiers that often flush the player into cover. In the game they appear in every single area on Mars, including formerly only Vex-control ones, aggressively battling the machines. The Cabal Legion ratio is typically sixty to seventy percent Stone Breakers and forty to thirty percent other Cabal Legions. They act as reinforcers for the weary Cabal, replenishing the numbers [[Oryx]] depleted in the [[Taken War]].

They appear in large numbers whenever a special World Event called "Deployment" begins. On patrol a message will appear in the corner of the screen saying, "The Stone Breakers are marshaling an offensive". This event starts off like a Fallen Glimmer Drill event. A Cabal warship appears in the sky and flies low overhead, offing a profile view and size comparison of the warship; Harvesters and Cabal fightercraft flank it, with several breaking away and deploying troops. This event lasts for ten minutes of endless waves of Cabal soldiers, who must be defeated before they secure their objectives, and concludes when a high ranking Ultra Valus (divided between three named variants) comes out to personally challenge the Guardians.

A [[Centurion]] equipped with jump jets, a [[Cabal Shield]], [[Solar]] shield and [[Projection Rifle]]. Replaces the [[Phalanx]] entirely. Despite these extra defenses that make them incredibly difficult to defeat, especially when alone, they are slow as a Colossus and are susceptible to all forms of Arc, Void and Solar attacks.

A [[Centurion]] capable of operating heavy artillery, even on [[Goliath Tank]]s. They are normally armed with dual [[Projection Rifle]]s and a miniature built-in slug thrower. They are force to be reckoned with when operating with Goliath Tanks but without, them they can be easily taken down like a regular Colossus.

*Pulsar Aggressor—used to maintain order amongst more rebellious troops, Aggressors use their psychic abilities to control and coordinate field legionnaires. Should they be killed, the psychic backlash sends all nearby Cabal into a blind rage, even forcing them to attack their fellow troops.

*Pulsar Defender—employed alongside major Bracci or Vals, a Defender projects a shield of Void energy to its commanding officer, supplementing alongside their Solar defense. Killing them not only removes the Void shield but sends a backlash to their commanders' shields, weakening them.

===Gladiator===
A [[Colossus]] equipped with an arm-mounted Arc blade instead of a [[Heavy Slug Thrower]] and have jump jets for rapid movement. These Colossus variants are one of the few who charge at the enemy head-on. Since they have no other weapons, their primary weakness is being attacked from a great distance or from multiple targets at once.

The Stone Breakers have their own variant of the Cabal standard-issue [[Goliath Tank]]: the [[Forum:Breaker Goliath Tank|Breaker Goliath Tank]]. Armed with modified versions of its standard counterpart's weaponry as well as flamethrowers, poison grenade launchers, and phaser repeaters as well as trapping devices, it can suppress opponents at any range. It even has limited flight capabilities and can mark the position of players to summon all nearby Cabal on them. However, their thrusters are still a weak point, and destroying them will render the tank unable to fly.
