The Cabal Warship are the primary Cabal spacecrafts used for exploration and war.[1]
History
Centuries before the events of the Red War, Dominus Ghaul exchanged the solitary cruisers of Calus' 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.[2]
During the Martian Cabal's occupation on Mars, scores of warships could be seen stationed about the Solar system, from the ruins of Freehold[1] to an abandoned warbase on Phobos,[3] including an abandoned fleet on Mercury.[4] 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.[5]
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.[6] During the course of the war, Shaxx's Redjacks were able to board and acquire some ships for the Crucible.[7]
Design
Cabal warships were built to replace the solitary, elegant cruisers that Emperor Calus favored during his reign of the Cabal empire. Small frigates types by Cabal standards, are described by Calus as "ugly, hasty, and crude", individually expendable, and built for brute force and close-range combat.[2] This is illustrated by the Skyburners' 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.[8] 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.[9]
They are capable of deploying Mining Landers, Injection Rigs,[10] drills, long range-missiles (for other models) and boarding pods.[2] They have four main engines,[11] with a six-engine variant serving as Ghaul's command ship.[12] The Immortal is not the only known six-engine variant, however, as The Almighty has three within its Skybox flying around above. They are serviced by carriers.[2]
The Red Legion utilized larger battlecruiser variants of the mainline warship for orbital bombardments and carrier operations. These ships boasted greater armaments and could carry multiple Land Tanks, Goliath Tanks, Threshers, and Harvesters. An example is the warship Retribution.[7][13] They may either be surviving examples of Emperor Calus' elegant "instruments of state", or converted and retrofitted per Umun'arath's specifications into the Red Legion's fleets.

Trivia
- Their models appear to vary from different factions or purposes.
- While precise scales are unknown, it's been estimated that a Cabal 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 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 Cabal Legionnaires.
