The '''Cabal''' are a warmongering race of giant bipedal humanoids with a heavy-set, rhinoceros-like appearance. Their ever expanding interstellar empire spreads through organization, efficiency, and corruption<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref>. The Cabal army that occupied [[Mars]] and held it for some time was but a fraction of their full might<ref name="GF:Cabal">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Ghost_Fragment:_Cabal|Ghost Fragment: Cabal]]''</ref>. During the [[Red War]], Cabal warlord [[Dominus Ghaul]] and his [[Red Legion]] seized the [[Last City]] and the [[Traveler]] in a surprise attack. After Ghaul's demise, the Red Legion shattered into numerous warring factions across the [[Solar System]]. The exiled [[Emperor Calus]], previously dethroned by Ghaul and later arriving onboard his spaceship, [[the Leviathan]], presents less antagonistic attitude towards humanity and the [[Guardian]]s, until he pledged his allegiance to the [[The Witness|Witness]] and led his followers to war with Sol. In recent time, [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]], daughter of Calus, assumed the Imperial throne and became the new Empress of the Cabal Empire, managing to reach a truce with the [[Vanguard]] and then developing a coalition with the forces of the [[Last City]].
The '''Cabal''' are one of the main alien races in Destiny. Their culture revolves around war and glory. The Cabal Empire monarchy at heart with a meritocratic military; the better the soldier the higher the rank.

Interestingly, the Cabal are the only hostile race up to date that does not appear to overtly feature worship in its culture—the Fallen worship their god-like [[Servitor]]s, while Hive have devoted their entire religion to the worship of the [[Darkness]], while the [[Vex]] of the [[Sol Divisive]] 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 [[Emperor Calus]].<ref name="Cabal 3">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Ghost_Fragment:_Cabal_3|Ghost Fragment: Cabal 3]]''</ref><ref name="Alone">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Alone as a God]]''</ref> And at one point, they have even ruled the galaxy, and since the reformations that happened within their empire, they seek to do it again, and likely beyond.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Heir Apparent]]''</ref>
