- "While reports have them centered on or around Mars, the true might of the Cabal is still wrapped in speculation."
- — Cabal description.[1]
Template:Species Infobox 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] and their occupation of Mars is just a small part of it.[3] Few Guardians have encountered Cabal and lived to tell the tale. On every front they have been found to have already dug in and fortified their installations with razor wire.[4]
Overview
Cabal are a highly militarized and violent species, known for their heavy armor and weapons. They will defend their territory until every last one of them is dead.[3] There is evidence of the position of an emperor within the Cabal.[5] Cabal architecture and construction is large and industrial, with an emphasis on burrowing into mountains for defense. Black smoke and leaking oil can often be seen emitting from their technology.[6] They are in the process of occupying Mars, and Cabal ships are bringing armies to and from the red planet.[3]
While the Cabal are clearly a militaristic race with a penchant for conquest, their exact motivation for coming to Mars is unclear. A Ghost that had hidden among the Cabal noticed dissent among the Cabal ranks, and also suspected that for all their ferocity, the Cabal were secretly running away from something terrifyingly powerful.[7]
Biology
The Cabal are a bipedal, hulking, vaguely humanoid species. They 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. [8] They come from a warm, humid climate so they have to be constantly hydrated within their suits.[6] Therefore, while a tough species, Cabal cannot survive in Mars's blistering environment without the climate-controlled suits that they wear. If a Cabal loses their helmet, they are done for.[3] Based on past encounters, it is believed that the Cabal lifespan is quite long. [9]

Technology
The Cabal rely upon a thick, black, oil-like substance to run much of their equipment.[3] They possess technology which enables them to shape and transform the features of planetoids, much like the Hive, but not on the level of the Traveler. This technology has been used by them to draw Mars's moon, Phobos, very close to the planet. [3]

Trivia
- A cabal is a group of people united in some close design together, usually to promote their private views or interests in a church, state, or other community, often by intrigue. Usually when organizations are labelled "cabal" it is a negative connotation that implies dark or sinister intent.[10]
- Concept art showing Cabal working together with Fallen indicates a possible alliance between the two races similar to that of the Covenant from Bungie's acclaimed Halo franchise. However, their altered appearances suggest that they are being controlled by the Darkness.[11][12]
