'''Cabal Warships''' are a type of [[Cabal]] spacecraft used for exploration and war.<ref name="DP">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dust Palace (strike)|Dust Palace]]''</ref>

==History==
Centuries before the events of the [[Red War]], [[Dominus Ghaul]] exchanged the solitary cruisers of Calus's space fleet for swarms of close-quarter frigates designed to be independent, small, and highly maneuverable and adaptable. This was in response to the [[Hive]] threat, whose usage of space-time rifts let them close distances instantly and forced the Cabal to fight them at extremely close ranges.<ref name="Entry II"/> During the Cabal's occupation of [[Mars]], scores of warships could be seen stationed about the [[Sol System]], from the ruins of [[Freehold]]<ref name="DP"/> to an abandoned warbase on [[Phobos]],<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwwUSIemm8 '''YouTube''' - ''Official Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves Preview'' (3:16)]</ref> including an abandoned fleet on [[Mercury]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible_Arenas#Vertigo|Vertigo]]''</ref> In the aftermath of the Skyburners' offensive on the Dreadnaught, two warships can be viewed in a hologram on the bridge orbiting above and below [[Saturn]]'s rings.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO8Vhcc7E3c&t=22m04s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny Outbound Signal Quest The Taken King Walkthrough'' (timestamp 22:04)]</ref>

During the Red War, a fleet of ships along with Carriers attacked the Last City. The [[Tower]] was destroyed by swarms of long ranged rockets.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUlcG87K7qs&t=195s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 All Cutscenes'']</ref> During the course of the war, [[Shaxx]]'s [[Redjacks]] were able to board and acquire some ships for the Crucible.<ref name="D2"/> Cabal warships belonging to the Skyburners were also seen docked at [[Firebase Hades]] during the Guardian's mission to steal Thumos's [[Harvester]]. When [[Val Ca'uor]] attempted to seize control of the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] from Emperor Calus, he brought a massive fleet of Red Legion warships to assault Calus's ship. These ships would also bombard the Celestial Observatory with [[Drop Pod|Drop Pods]] and missiles during Ca'uor's battle with the Guardian [[Raid]] team sent to stop him. Most of the ships in this fleet were decimated by the Guardians using the Leviathan's formidable armaments.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, [[Spire of Stars]]''</ref> 

During the [[Clash of the Chosen]], fleets of [[Imperial Cabal]] warships and command carriers were seen in the skies of the [[Cosmodrome]], [[Nessus]], and [[Europa]] when the [[Rite of Proving|Rites of Proving]] for aspiring members of [[Empress Caiatl|Empress Caiatl's]] [[War Council]] were taking place. Shortly after [[Mars]] reappeared, Caiatl sent a fleet which included at least one Cabal warship to confront the [[The Lure|Lure]] over the [[Cradle]]. This ship was first spotted by [[Ikora Rey]] and [[Eris Morn]] as it flew past their camp while carrying a gigantic cannon which it lowered onto a nearby Cabal bunker.

==Design==
Cabal Warships were built to replace the solitary, elegant cruisers that Emperor Calus favored during his reign of the [[Cabal empire]]. Small frigate types by Cabal standards, are described by Calus as "ugly, hasty, and crude", individually expendable, and built for brute force and close-range combat.<ref name="Entry II">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|Confessions: Entry II]]''</ref> Other models were illustrated by the [[Skyburners|Skyburner]]'s command ship, [[Dantalion Exodus VI]], being deployed as a warship-sized boarding pod against [[Oryx]]'s [[Dreadnaught]] on the orders of Ghaul, and remaining largely intact.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Ghost_Fragment:_Cabal_3|Ghost Fragment: Cabal 3]]''</ref> This is after the [[Awoken]] offensive failed in the [[Battle of Saturn]], where the [[Harbingers]] left not a mark upon the Hive vessel's armor.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]'' opening cinematic</ref> They are also capable of deploying [[Mining Lander]]s, [[Injection Rig]]s,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> drills, long range-missiles (for other models) and boarding pods.<ref name="Entry II"/> They have four main engines,<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> with a six-engine variant serving as [[Ghaul]]'s flagship, the [[The Immortal|Immortal]].<ref name="Home">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Homecoming]]''</ref>

The Immortal is not the only known six-engine variant, however, as the [[The Almighty|Almighty]] has three within its Skybox flying around above. They are serviced by [[Cabal carrier|carrier]]s.<ref name="Entry II"/> The Red Legion utilized other warship classes capable of long-range combat during the invasion of [[The Last City]]; there are larger battlecruiser variants of the mainline warship for orbital bombardment and carrier operations. These ships boasted greater armaments and could carry multiple [[Land Tank]]s, [[Goliath Tank]]s, [[Thresher]]s, and [[Harvester]]s on-board. An example is the warship [[Retribution]].<ref name="D2">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref><ref name="Eurogamer">[http://web.archive.org/web/20200804202217/https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-09-15-destiny-2-ps4-exclusive-content-playstations-lake-of-shadows-strike-city-apex-ship-borealis-weapon-and-retribution-map-details-4747 Eurogamer - Destiny 2 PS4 exclusive content - PlayStation 4's Lake of Shadows strike, City Apex ship, Borealis weapon, exclusive armour and Retribution map detailed]</ref> They may either be surviving examples of Calus's elegant "instruments of state", or converted and retrofitted per [[Umun'arath]]'s specifications into the Red Legion's fleets.{{Citation needed}}

==Trivia==
*Their models appear to vary from different factions or purposes.
*While precise scales are unknown, it's been estimated that a Cabal [[Imperial Land Tank|Land Tank]] is roughly 3000 feet in length and 1000 feet in width, so the ships able to carry "several" of them would be measured in miles. Given the size of [[Hive warship|Hive Warships]] this is would be entirely logical, so roughly 30+ miles would allow a Cabal battleship to transport multiple Land Tanks and tens of thousands of [[Legionary|Cabal Legionnaires]].
