Types of Cabal Enemies
Legionary
- Main article: Legionary
Cabal tactics focus on Legionnaires advancing whilst being supported by the various other ranks and roles of the Cabal military. Legionnaires are the first line of offence and defense, and will either close the gap to the target or find more advantageous positions by bounding across the battlefield with their jump packs.
Phalanx
- Main article: Phalanx
Some Legionnaires carry massive shields, these units are called Phalanxes. They use these indestructible shields to great offensive effect (as well as obvious defense), slowly advancing whilst hiding behind their shield. Guardians have reported that Phalanxes will lose balance if their firing arm is pierced.
Centurion
- Main article: Centurion
Commanding them all from the field are the Centurions. Centurions are responsible for relaying orders and replying munitions for the Cabal military effort.
Colossus
- Main article: Colossus
Heavy infantry consist of the Colossi, huge Cabal wearing heavy armour and wielding deadly heavy weaponry. They are positioned where the Cabal need to push back an enemy offensive or push forward their own, and to great effect. More than one Guardian has fallen to the devastating hail of a Colossus Heavy Slug Thrower.
Psion
- Main article: Psion
Then there are the Psions. Psions are remarkably smaller than their Cabal counterparts, and are speculated to be of a different species all together. They are named after their unique psychic abilities, notably their ability to manipulate energy at will and possess computational equipment with their minds. It is believed they may have telekinetic abilities as well.
Machines
Goliath Tank
- Main article: Goliath Tank
Goliath Tanks are formidable tanks that the Cabal deploy for effective area denial. Their weapons systems are surely capable of attacking orbiting space-craft. Do not underestimate their agility, the boosters allow for quick terrain traversal, but subsequently act as a weakness.
Interceptor
- Main article: Interceptor
The Cabal are seen to utilize small scout vehicles called Interceptors for advancements. Whilst merely scouting devices to the Cabal, to Guardians they prove an effective tank. Guardians should capture these devices, where possible, for use in the Crucible for training purposes.
