The '''Imperial Cabal''' are the personal army of the '''[[Cabal Emperor|Imperial Crown]]''' and serve [[Empress Caiatl]]. 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.  
The '''Imperial Cabal''' are the personal army of [[Empress Caiatl]]. Following [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]'s invasion of [[Torobatl]], they left for the [[Solar System]] to recruit [[Cabal]] commanders from other [[Cabal#Legions|Legions]], such as the [[Red Legion]].


A group of [[Caiatl's Emissaries|emissaries]] sought to prove their worth through an ancient [[Rite of Proving|tradition]] with the hope of joining the [[War Council]].
A group of [[Caiatl's Emissaries|Cabal warlords]] subsequently sought to prove their worth to Caiatl through an ancient [[Rite of Proving|tradition]] with the hope of joining her [[War Council]], though many were slain by the [[Guardian]]s. Afterwards, the Imperial Cabal allied with Humanity, and would go on to fight alongside the Guardians against the [[Lucent Brood]] and the [[Shadow Legion]].

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.

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 the 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.

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 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]].

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 fall of the [[Last City]], 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]].

===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]].

*This is the second time we have allied with the [[Cabal]], the first being the [[Loyalists]] and [[Emperor Calus]]. However, this is alliance is more serious than [[Calus]]’s alliance with us, due to the fact that he betrays us for [[The Witness]] in [[Lightfall]]
