Cabal

"I think you could follow a trail of shattered worlds all the way to their home."

- Grimoire description.

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 —their occupation of Mars is but a fraction of their full might. 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.

Overview
"Embrace suffering. Only then can it be conquered."

- Bracus Tha'aurn

The Cabal are an extremely tough species, willing to defend their territory until every last one of them is dead.Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard Their architecture is very industrial, with an emphasis on burrowing into mountains for defense. Their armor and technology can often be seen leaking a substance similar to oil and even emit smoke when damaged or worn. For centuries they have devoted their resources to occupying and mining Mars, 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.

Interestingly, the Cabal is the only hostile race up to date that does not appear to overtly feature worship in its culture—the Fallen worship their god-like Servitors, while Hive have devoted their entire religion to the worship of the Darkness, while the Vex revere the unknown entity that is the Black Heart—but as of the Taken War, evidence has been gathered that the Cabal revere a deity-like Emperor, later being revealed to be Dominus Ghaul.
