- — Cabal description.[1]
The Cabal are a race with a heavy-set, rhinoceros like appearance. They are an industrial, militaristic empire that spreads through organization, efficiency, and corruption.[2] They are one of many species with the intent to destroy humanity. They are in control of the Exclusion Zone on Mars, and the Dust Palace which lies within it. Members of the Cabal are known to carry heavy weaponry and large shields into battle.
Biology
The Cabal are a bipedal, hulking, and vaguely humanoid species. According to concept art, the Cabal appear to be carnivorous as they have sharp, irregular teeth. They have wrinkled, gray, leathery skin, a tall skull, dark wide-set eyes, and a very high, inverted-V-shaped upper lip that exposes the Cabal's upper gums and fangs. [3] They come from a warm, humid climate so they have to be constantly hydrated within their suits.[4]
