'''Cabal Warships''' are a type of [[Cabal]] spacecraft used for exploration and war.<ref name="DP">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[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>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''Destiny: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible Arenas|Crucible Arenas]], [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible Arenas#Black Shield|Black Shield]]''</ref> including an abandoned fleet on [[Mercury]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''Destiny: [[The Taken King]] - Grimoire:Activities/Crucible Arenas, [[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>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King - [[Outbound Signal]]''</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 name="Home"/> During the course of the war, [[Shaxx]]'s [[Redjacks]] were able to board and acquire some ships for the Crucible.<ref name="Eurogamer"/> 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]] - [[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.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]''</ref> 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''Destiny 2: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[The Arrival]]''</ref>

==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]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]], [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|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 - Grimoire:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal|Cabal]], [[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 - [[The Coming War]]''</ref> They are also capable of deploying [[Mining Lander]]s, [[Injection Rig]]s,<ref name="D2">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''Destiny 2''</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''</ref> with a six-engine variant serving as [[Ghaul]]'s flagship, the [[The Immortal|Immortal]].<ref name="Home">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[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 [[Imperial Land Tank]]s, [[Goliath Tank]]s, [[Thresher]]s, and [[Harvester]]s on-board. An example is the warship [[Retribution]].<ref name="D2"/><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.<ref name="Entry II"/>
