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]

[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 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.
