The '''Cabal''' are a hulking, vaguely humanoid species with a vast interstellar empire and a militaristic culture.

Initially arriving in the Sol System sometime after the Collapse, the Cabal established a military presence on several worlds, especially [[Mars]], where they became locked in a war with the local [[Vex]]. After the [[Taken War]], the then-leader of the Cabal Empire, [[Dominus Ghaul]], brought his [[Red Legion]] to the Sol System, seizing the [[Last City]] and the [[Traveler]] itself in a surprise attack, leading to a system-wide conflict which became known as the [[Red War]]. After Ghaul's demise at the hands of the Guardian, the Red Legion shattered into numerous warring factions. The exiled Cabal Emperor [[Emperor Calus|Calus]] arrived aboard his massive [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], inviting the Guardians to join his elite team of warriors known as [[Shadows of Calus|Shadows]]; Calus would later pledge himself to the [[the Witness|Witness]] as one of its Disciples, becoming an enemy of humanity. After the Cabal capital world of [[Torobatl]] was [[Fall of Torobatl|razed]] by [[Xivu Arath]], [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]], Calus' daughter and the Princess-Imperial of the Cabal Empire, assumed the Imperial throne and became the new [[Cabal Emperor|Empress]] of the Cabal Empire, managing to reach a truce with the [[Vanguard]] and going on to develop a [[The Coalition|coalition]] with the forces of the [[Last City]].
