The Cabal were originally jointly ruled by the Emperor and the military aristocracy known as the [[Praetorate]], which commanded the individual legions. When [[Calus]] became Emperor, he overthrew the corrupt Praetorate and granted citizenship to the legions.

Despite this, many of Calus' close followers thought him to be too decadent and cared too little for war. A coup was instigated by a former Praetorate member known as [[The Consul]], and his protege [[Dominus Ghaul]].

Entire worlds would be destroyed by Ghaul's ship [[The Almighty]] when they had been exhausted of resources or conquest was too costly. Calus considered this move a massive betrayal of the Cabal people.<ref name="Booklet">[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref> | ||
