The Cabal

[b]The Cabal[/b] Tactically efficient, disciplined, and unrelenting, the Cabal are the greatest known military force in the system. Their origins and ultimate objectives are a mystery, but it seems clear they have conquered more worlds than humanity has ever known. Cabal soldiers wear pressurized armor that replicates the environment of their high-gravity homeworld. Their field tactics depend on ranks of Legionaries supported by air power, elite infantry, and ultra-heavy armour. [b]Legionary[/b] [u]Threat Level[/u]: Low [u]Assessment[/u]: Propelled by jump packs and wielding powerful slug rifles, Legionaries are the Cabal's line infantry and the backbone of their military power on the ground. Common Legionary tactics center on the bounding advance - some units attack the target while others close the range or find new firing positions.  [b]Centurion[/b] [u]Threat Level[/u]: Moderate [u]Assessment[/u]: Centurions are tactically intelligent, highly skilled field commanders. Their armor boasts a formidable array of combat electronics and deployable munitions.  [b]Colossus[/b] [u]Threat Level[/u]: High [u]Assessment[/u]: Towering over other Cabal, equipped with rapid-firing heavy weapons and nearly impenetrable armor, the Colossus is the most devastating heavy infantry unit in the Cabal order of battle.  [b]Psion[/b] [u]Threat Level[/u]: Moderate [u]Assessment[/u]: Psions are smaller than all other Cabal morphs, and may be an unrelated species. Hyper-intelligent, fast and unpredictable, they possess strong psionic capabilities - including the ability to emit disorienting and deadly psychokinetic Arc blasts.  [b]Phalanx[/b] [u]Threat Level[/u]: Low (Moderate if in large groups) [u]Assessment[/u]: Phalanx soldiers carry massive shields, used for both attack and defense. While this protection is nearly impenetrable, clever opponents can bait the Phalanx or sneak shots around the shield. [b][u]Cabal Detachments[/u] [/b] [b]Sand Eaters[/b] [u]Assessment[/u]: The Cabal formation first and most frequently encountered by Guardians, the Sand Eaters represent the numerical bulk of the Cabal presence on Mars. Their equipment, tactics, and morale all show the weight of a long deployment - but they continue to pursue their objectives with dogged, weary determination. [b]Dust Giants[/b] [u]Assessment[/u]: Highly trained and heavily conditioned, Dust Giant soldiers seem to be recruited from veteran Sand Eater infantry. The Cabal order of battle positions them as a mobile reserve and shock force, rolled in to blunt major Vex offensives and reinforce crumbling lines. [b]Blind Legion[/b] [u]Assessment[/u]: The Cabal presence on Mars is locked in an endless war with the Namadee Vex- and at the heart of this war is the Blind Legion. Deployed to defend vital artifacts seized from the Vex the Legion holds its ground with fanatic zeal.  Blind Legion soldiers brave one of the most thankless, grueling assignments in the Cabal order of battle: descending into buried ruins and black catacombs to sweep for Vex presence.
