 Cabal warships were built to replace the solitary, elegant cruisers that [[Emperor Calus]] favored during his reign of the [[Cabal empire]]. Small frigates 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]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|Confessions: Entry II]]''</ref> This is illustrated by the [[Skyburners]]' 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]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[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]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]'' opening cinematic</ref>

 The Red Legion utilized larger battlecruiser variants of the mainline warship for orbital bombardments and carrier operations. These ships boasted greater armaments and could carry multiple [[Land Tank]]s, [[Goliath Tank]]s, [[Thresher]]s, and [[Harvester]]s. An example is the warship [[Retribution]].<ref name="D2">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref><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 [[Emperor Calus]]' elegant "instruments of state", or converted and retrofitted per [[Umun'arath]]'s specifications into the Red Legion's fleets.
