When a desired object is targeted, Cabal soldiers are sent to gather data on its geology to find out how to grind it up. The resulting rubble would be refined and mixed with the "royal nectar" of psionically-enhancing flowers from the Cabal homeworld to produce the royal wine for Calus's consumption. A large palace where Emperor Calus and his servants reside stands on the head of the ship, and two small, artificial suns hover in place above the highest tower. | ||
On the night of the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him, Emperor Calus was arrested and quietly ushered aboard The Leviathan, where [[Dominus Ghaul]] and his co-conspirators intended him to remain in exile in perpetuity. The Leviathan's navigation system was locked onto a course that would take it far from the Cabal Empire's domain. After many centuries, the system failed and the ship progressed no further; it had come upon a great expanse of nothingness, and could not plot a course through a place that did not exist. It was here that Calus claimed to have encountered something that overawed him, potentially the [[Darkness]] itself, and resolved to become its herald. With the navigation system unlocked, Calus charted a course back to Cabal territory, collecting [[Shadows]] along the way to enact his revenge against his usurpers. Following Dominus Ghaul's death during the [[Red War]], The Leviathan arrived in the [[Solar System]] and began consuming the planetoid [[Nessus]]. | On the night of the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him, Emperor Calus was arrested and quietly ushered aboard The Leviathan, where [[Dominus Ghaul]] and his co-conspirators intended him to remain in exile in perpetuity.
