"I think you could follow a trail of shattered worlds all the way to their home."
Grimoire description. [4]

Overhaul in progress

The Cabal are a warmongering race with a heavy-set, rhinoceros-like appearance. Their ever expanding empire spreads through organization, efficiency, and corruption [5]—their occupation of Mars is but a fraction of their full might.[6] Few Guardians who have encountered the Cabal live to tell the tale, and on every front they have been found to dig in deep, fortifying their installations with razor wire.[7]

Overview

"Embrace suffering. Only then can it be conquered."
— Bracus Tha'aurn[8]

The Cabal are an extremely tough species, willing to defend their territory until every last one of them is dead.[9] Their architecture is very industrial, with an emphasis on burrowing into mountains for defense.[10] Their armor and technology can often be seen leaking a substance similar to oil and even emit smoke when damaged or worn.[11] For centuries they have devoted their resources to occupying and mining Mars,[12][13] contesting with the native Vex programming as evidenced by the many Cabal ships seen bringing armies to and from the red planet, and recently dealing with the Guardians.[9]
