With Ghaul now in charge of the Cabal Empire as Dominus, Umun'arath remained in command of the military and used her influence to spearhead the creation of a new Cabal Fleet. She discarded the use of independent cruisers that Calus had designed for matters of state and elegant but time-consuming maneuvers in favor of utilizing groups of frigates with fleet carriers supplying and refueling them. Umun'arath deployed these fleets against Hive [[War moon]]s that were invading the fringes of the Cabal Empire's territory, utilizing Psions to hide the movement of the fleet and mine the invasion paths of the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|Confessions: Entry II]]''</ref> | With Ghaul now in charge of the Cabal Empire as Dominus, Umun'arath remained in command of the military and used her influence to spearhead the creation of a new Cabal Fleet.

===Fall of Torobatl=== | |||
At some point following the defeat of Dominus Ghaul, Umun'arath's obsession with the Hive turned from one of paranoia to fascination. She began to study the Hive and their ways, contemplating how the Cabal might learn from them to become better warriors, and even going so far as to advocate the worship of their deities if it meant ensuring the survival of her people. Upon hearing of this, the Princess-Imperial Caiatl ordered her old friend and confidant to step down from her council. | |||
However, some time after this Umun'arath was apprehended in the weaponsmith district of Torobatl, apparently in the midst of conducting a Hive ritual. When Caiatl arrived to confront the disgraced Evocate-General, Umun'arath made to attack her with Hive magic, and Caiatl slew Umun'arath on the spot with her blade. | |||
However, Umun'arath's death completed the ritual she had put in motion. A massive Hive portal opened over Torobatl, and out of it came the Hive God of War herself, [[Xivu Arath]], who immediately began laying waste to Torobatl with her fleets and armies.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/chapter-5-new-gods#book-empress</ref> | |||
