Following the [[Hive]] invasion of [[Torobatl]], they left for the [[Solar System]] to reform the [[Cabal Empire]] and recruit [[Cabal]] commanders from other [[Cabal#Legions|Legions]], such as the [[Red Legion]], under the banner of Caiatl.

===Clash of the Chosen===
===War upon Xivu Arath===
Arriving in Sol after the Guardians defeated the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] in the [[Dreaming City]], Caiatl invites [[Zavala]] and [[Osiris]] for a meeting aboard her flagship. Unknown to either Caiatl or Zavala, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] took the form of Osiris at the beginning of the appearance of the [[Cryptolith]]s throughout Sol. Caiatl proposes an alliance with the Vanguard on the condition that Zavala bends the knee to her. Zavala refuses, and the Imperial Cabal would enter a war with the Vanguard.
===Lucent Alliance===
 
The Guardians begin participating in the [[Rite of Proving]] against the Imperial Cabal when Zavala deploys them to [[Nessus]] to eliminate [[Commander Dracus]] outside the ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' and they retrieve the [[Bell of Conquests]] from him. After exploring the newly-fashioned H.E.L.M. commissioned by the Vanguard, the Guardians would go to work on eliminating [[Basilius the Golem]], whose soldiers are searching for the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] on [[Europa]] and intending to infuse them into Cabal Exos. They stop him from doing so and they retrieve the [[Hammer of Proving]] so they can pillage Cabal Gold by ancient Cabal laws.
 
Next, Saladin briefs the Guardians on the next target seeking to fill the empty seat on Caiatl's War Council: [[Val Ma'rag]]. The Imperial Cabal have set foot in the [[Cosmodrome]] to seek retribution against the [[Hive]] for their role in the [[Fall of Torobatl]] months ago. The Guardians eliminate the Val and prepare to return to Nessus to seek out [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]], who is harnessing Vex prediction engines and relaying the information to a sect of Psions working to avenge the sisters [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|Ozletc]], [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|Tazaroc]], [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|Niruul]], and [[Amtec]]; and led by [[Yirix]].
 
Under the command of Yirix, the Psions within the Imperial Cabal would go to work by infiltrating a [[Häkke]] warehouse within the Last City to recover a remnant of the [[Traveler Cage]] used during the [[Red War]], then using that same technology to assassinate Zavala by disabling his Ghost. The first attempt was thwarted by Crow.
 
Eventually, the Vanguard seeks a final Rite of Proving with the Imperial Cabal. They agree with an ultimatum: if Zavala's champion, [[The Guardian]], wins the Rite of Proving, the armistice between both parties would be signed and the Cabal cannot set foot on Earth, ever again; if Caiatl's champion, [[Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl|Ignovun]], wins the Rite of Proving, the Vanguard would be forced to abandon Nessus and Zavala will be conscripted into Caiatl's War Council as Bracus Zavala. With both champions ready, the Guardian enters the ''Halphas Electus'', begins the final Rite of Proving, and defeats Ignovun, making them the winners. Then, Caiatl and Zavala meets in time for the armistice. They are caught off guard by a pair of Psions named [[Qalec]] and [[Valir]], who were under the command of Yirix for the second attempt at the assassination of Zavala. Caiatl reveals that she wasn't responsible for the assassination and vows to uncover the Psion conclave.
 
===War with the Hive===
Moments after the armistice was signed and [[House Light]] allied with the Vanguard to combat the [[Endless Night]] created by [[Quria, Blade Transform|Quria]], the Imperial Cabal would continue their war with the Hive of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], unaware that [[Petra Venj]] and [[Mara Sov]] are witnessing the battle through an aperture in the Dreaming City.
 
After the Guardian, [[Saint-14]], Mara Sov, and Crow discover that Savathûn was under the guise of Osiris since the appearance of the Cryptoliths constructed by the High Celebrant, Mara traps Savathûn in a crystalline prison and instructs the Guardian to recover the [[Techeun]]s lost in the [[Ascendant plane]]. While the Guardian goes to work recovering the Techeuns using the [[Wayfinder's Compass]] and [[Ley Line]]s. Saladin delivers the news of Savathun's appearance and developments of Xivu Arath in the Dreaming City to Valus Or'ohk, would then relays it to Caiatl and Taurun. Caiatl then dispatches a lone Legionary and a Psion to meet with Zavala in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]]. Zavala sees the Dreaming City nuked by Cabal munitions and covered in Cabal oil and tells the lone Legionary his answer: "No." The same Legionary then relays Zavala's answer to Caiatl and Taurun.
 
After Savathûn deceives Mara and is rebirthed in the [[Traveler]]'s Light by [[Immaru]] within the Last City, she places her ship, [[The Lure]], on [[Mars]], which had strangely reappeared after being engulfed in an anomaly by the [[Black Fleet]]. In response to the reappearance and Savathûn's presence on Mars, Caiatl orders her soldiers to set up a cannon on a Cabal bunker to attempt to take down the Lure.
 
Unfortunately for the Imperial Cabal on Mars, they discover the Guardian's presence on Mars under orders from [[Ikora Rey]] and begin to open fire on the Guardian despite the armistice between the Imperial Cabal and the Vanguard. The Guardian would also use the Cabal cannon to launch themselves into the Lure. News of those death would reach Caiatl, who arranges a meeting with Zavala, Saladin, Crow, and the same Guardian responsible for the massacre on her people, leading to an official alliance between the Imperial Cabal and the Vanguard.
 
===Operation Elbrus===
The Imperial Cabal would enter the alliance after Zavala asks for Caiatl's help in stopping the [[Lucent Brood|Lucent Hive]] invading Earth. She agrees and supplies the [[Synaptic Spear]] to be used against the Lucent Hive lieutenants within the [[Mindscape]], but gives the Guardians a warning they would be forgiven only once, and that any further loss of life within the Imperial Cabal will endanger a fledgling alliance between them and the Vanguard. [[The Crow|Crow]] almost endangers the alliance when he accidentally kills the Psion running the Psisorium within the [[H.E.L.M.]] after he attempts to shut it down out of concern that the intel gathering from the Lucent Hive was unethical. Luckily, Lord [[Saladin Forge]] was able to save the alliance by repaying the life debt on Crow's behalf by serving on Caiatl's [[War Council]] as Bracus Forge. Caiatl promoted him to Valus Forge after he wins the [[Rite of Proving]] against Valus [[Guhrn Or'ohk]].
 
===A Growing Alliance===
The Imperial Cabal would become another member fighting in defense of [[Sol]] along with the [[Vanguard]], [[House Light]], and the [[Awoken]] under Mara Sov's leadership against the forces of [[The Witness]] after Caiatl asks the Guardians to return to Mars to stop the Psionic propaganda created by [[Yirix]], then spread by [[Qabix, Insurgent|Qabix]], and contains the history of the Psions prior to Cabal enslavement as well as hints of the resurrection of [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]], the Traveler tainted with Darkness, the siege of [[Neomuna]], and the return of the Leviathan.
 
They would also assist in fighting alongside the Guardians against the [[Nightmare]]s and [[Loyalists]] of [[Emperor Calus|Calus]], the second known [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]], aboard the derelict and [[Egregore]]-infested [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], and assisting the Guardian in boarding [[Seraph Station]] to stop Eramis from activating the ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol by engaging the nearby [[House of Salvation|House Salvation]] fleet parked outside the station.
 
===Siege of Two Worlds===
The Imperial Cabal would stand by the rest of [[The Coalition]]'s fleet, defending the [[Traveler]] from the attacking [[Black Fleet]]. When the Guardian and [[Osiris]] followed Calus to [[Neptune]], Caiatl would soon bring her legion in their support, saving the Young Wolf when they were left drained in the [[Typhon Imperator]]. The Imperial Cabal would continue providing tactical support as well as devote their troops and aircraft to the defense of [[Neomuna]]. When the [[Shadow Legion]] launces its [[Desperate Measures|final assault]] on the [[Veil Containment]] facility, Caiatl and her [[Ascendant Guard]] stand with the Guardian against the hordes of Calus' troops and [[Tormentor]]s. The Herald's psychic attack eventually crushes the guard and blastes open the facility's entrance, forcing the Guardian to rush to [[The Veil]] while Empress Caiatl holds her father off.
 
On the home front, the Imperials would continue providing valiant soldiers and technology to the Coalition's efforts, reverse-engineering [[Resonant Splinter]]s to clear an [[Lake of Shadows|infestation]] of [[Taken]], sending troops [[The Arms Dealer|against]] the returned [[Bracus Zahn]] now providing weapons to the Shadow Legion, and frequently stationing troops at the [[Farm]].
