A Tigers view on the Enemy Factions, Part 2: The Cabal

Part 3: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/244609034/0/0 Hello again class. I am your substitute Mr. Tiger. And some of you though it was funny to refer to me as “Loud ass Tiger” LISTEN HERE MAGGOTS! I’ve dealt with Cabal, the Hive, and the fallen! Those sons of bitches are scary, you’re not! Now, the answer to last classes homework, was Aksor, the Archon Priest. “I am not afraid to die” in some sort of Fallen speak. Anyhoo, on to today’s lesson, The Cabal. [b][i]Backstory Lore[/i][/b]: Now as you all know, the Cabal came into the city and -blam!-ed everything. But, once upon a time, they weren’t always... well... so explodey. Ya see, someone by the name Calus led a revolt and took control of the Empire as a “benevolent emperor” when in truth he murdered and castrated subjects. Eventually, after a few years, The Consul and Ghual led a revolt against HIM, and were like “Yo dumbass, we ain’t smart enough to kill ya, but we will put you on a ship that can eat worlds. Something we should use for military but nah!” So, Ghaul came in, made the Red Legion, blah blah blah. Eventually he became a Guardian Rip-off and was blown up by the Dyson Sphere. Meanwhile Calus is holding tournaments and games for us. Fun..... [i][b]Biology[/b][/i]: Upon first glance, the Cabal look little more than like Rhino people. But that’s not exactly true. The cabal certainly share traits to a Rhino, but differ. Firstly, they don’t have a horn. Secondly, they walk upright. And thirdly, they are INCREDIBLY intelligent, despite...ya know. They move slow though, which makes sense because they hit harder than someone’s ex wife. Not too much to say here. Moving on. [i][b]Weapons and technology[/b][/i]: The cabal are built for war. Nothing more nothing less. Their weapons are designed for all environment use, using either micro missiles, or energy blasts. But the most annoying part of the Cabal are literally overusing something. Cabal Phalanx’s are the best example. Don’t hit that diamond? You’re -blam!-ed! -blam!-ED I SAY!! Cabal Warships are not too diverse, having attack cruisers and carriers. But they do know how to harness power from outside sources such as Light and Taken energy. So be mindful of that. [i][b]Ranks[/b][/i] -Psion: Acts like a field scientist. Both a slave, and formidable warrior. Threat level: 2/10 -Legionary: Hardass warrior. Threat level: 4/10 -Phalanx: A pain to deal with, but lacks any real damage. Threat level: 4/10 -Gladiator: Don’t get too close unless you want your -blam!-ING HEAD CHOPPED OFF!! I SAW IT HAPPEN TOO!! A HEAD! WENT FIVE FEET UP IN THE AIR DUE TO THEIR SWORDS! AND IT WAS MY HEAD! Threat level: 7/10 -Centurion: The captain of the group, focus on him. Threat level: 7/10 Bracus: Lieutenant. I think. Threat level: 7/10 Valus: Commander. 8/10 Primus: General or admiral. 9/10 Dominus: The leader of the Cabal. 10/10 would shoot my rocket at first. [i][b]Tips when fighting the Cabal[/b][/i]: -Stay mobile. A fast Guardian is a deadly one to them. -Shoot a phalanx’s shield down first before engaging. -Focus centurions first. They have an assortment of shields, so be careful to match your weapons to them. -Don’t be stupid, got that you little -wham!-s?! Plan your attack out! -FOR GOD SAKES, SHOOT THE THRESHER FIRST BEFORE ENGAGING GROUND TROOPS! And that’s it! Homework is on the desk, what was the name of the location where the Psion Flayers were trying to get into Rasputin (bow chicka bow wow). *Student: Teacher: We still have 30 minutes of class left-* I DONT GIVE A DAMN! GET OUT NOW! [spoiler]Don’t ban me ninjas, most of this is for comedic purposes[/spoiler]

        • I haz the homework: Central AI’s Cortex in the dust palace. Also, I’ll just leave this here... [spoiler][i]Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the cabal on mars, so let’s get to taking out their command one-by-one. Valus Ta’aruc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an imperial land tank outside of Rubicon. He’s well-protected, but with the right team we can punch through those defences, take this beast out and break their grip on freehold.[/i][/spoiler]

                Pardon me, Mr. Tiger, but you seem to have forgotten a bit about Calus and his overthrow. Calus, while he did murder the former state leaders of the Cabal, was considered benevolent to the common citizen. He threw lavish parties, have the cabal a less militaristic culture, and was almost about to give all of the enslaved races equal rights. Ghaul and the console disagreed, believing that the Cabal military and conqueror tradition were being destroyed, so they made their own rebellion. While they would have preferred to kill Calus, he had gained enough popular opinion that an execution would have almost certainly caused a riot and third rebellion, so they banished him on his personal ship. The ship was programmed to take Calus out of the Galaxy, but Calus regained control.

                      • *Raises hand* I have finished homework... [spoiler][b][i][u]"The Dust Palace is lost to us again. Back in Cabal hands. Word is they've let Psion Flayers out of their cages, to dig around in the Central AI's Cortex. Which means they really want what's buried in there. If Rasputin was protecting it, it's valuable. We've got to flush those Flayers out."[/u][/i][/b][/spoiler]

                      • I may just be the resident idiot with the correct skills, but I found that a fifty-ish lb sack of flower and a plasma torch work the best against gladiators. [spoiler]don't ask why I had those things[/spoiler] I was in a pinch and who wants to lug around a fifty-ish lb sack of flower anyway.

                      • The Dust Palace (and a correction the reason why ghaul did not kill calus is because he was too popular to execute.
