No, unfortunately that is not it.
Trust me, I like the Cabal, Cayde was right, bug on honor but their actions say otherwise.
The reason the Cabal smashed a ship into the deadnaught was for entirely different reasons then you think.
Cabal reports show that during various encounters with other races, the "Gaurdians" are the ones that prove the most troubling, especially after "re-integration" they observe, pretty much being revived by their ghost is what the cabal are seeing, they find out that we gaurdians are somethimg called, "dead people".
Phobos, meanwhile, recieve a report of an unusual occurance by the reef an deploy the Fleet to investigate, leaving the base bare bones security.
Phobos is hit.
Reports eventually show that the Hive are making pre-emptive attacks and guardians interference is causing more problems.
Guardians are observed, "looting bodys", dismantling an repairing equipment on site, "Dancing" and performing "aerobatics" on light vehicles, from one Cabal report.
During the events of the Taken King, it was surmised that the Hive were the only race with capable offensive strategies utilized to counter Guardian resurrection.
Thus a message fron emperor himself, utilize whatever remaining force you have, attack the Hive Flagship, establish a beachead and compile any and all data you pertaining to Guardians and Hive tactics.
---
With all that being said, that was the inital reason for the beachead, the events afterwards is what transpires during the story mode because the Cabal were not familiar with just how trully power Oryx really was.
Can you imagine whats going through those cabals heads?
Crash lands into a massive hostile dreadnaught, enemjes armed with weapons of arcane an meta physics, a being who can "Take" them and return them as slaves...
Those scared Cabal, even inside their own ship, they are constantly fighting to stay alive, Hive in every dark corner, trying to operate under those conditons with a failing command structure and recons teams almost immediatly being butchered upon arrival.
How long can the remaining cabal survivors last on the dreadnaught?
Maybe a little longer under Vanguard hands?

Love how the report says the guardians dancing though lol
-
Yeah that was pretty cool, I wonder what the lower ranked cabal think? Probably jealous.
-

One small nit-pick: they don't call guardians "dead people" they call our ghosts dead people as a "best guess at a translation" kind of thing. Probably shows they don't believe in spirits or souls or anything of that nature, so they simply don't have words that can translate to something like ghost, so [dead person] was their closest approximation.
-
Thanks, I knew I was missing something in there, I was confused at first when I read that part, like..."a drone called a dead person..." I was looking at it from a human frame of reference, when I shot up some cabals into me, I totally see it now!!!
-
Who's your supplier? Mine can't get a syringe big enough.
-
But I thought they had enough power to get out of there.
-
Cabal are exiled from the empire when they're sent on missions, success is their only shot back into the empire.
-
They do you can scan something on the ship that says that
-
Lol, look at that ship!! Do you think its going anywhere?? If they pull that off, Ill give the Cabals more credit then they deserve.
-
Haha, yeah. But I meant, like, they could power the drop ships and GTFO.
-
Oh, well yeah in that case, sure. I would say screw the emperor and high tail it outta there, maybe even form a ragtag crew of different aliens, like...PIRATES!!! Fallen, Cabal shimates!! A Vex navigator, human an awokem scouts!! Hell maybe a big dumb brutish Knight, we can brainwash an have him be our muscle. Just thinking out LOUD BUNGIE WINK* WINK*
