Analysis
This is an archetypical engagement. It represents many hundreds of failed operations.
Guardian activity in the Freehold AO has exploded across recent campaign seasons. Tactical
attrition exceeds both frictional projections and our ability to regenerate losses. New tactics
are necessary.
The primary threat is the Guardians’ individual counter-attrition capability.
Guardians can be rebuilt after even total disintegrative trauma. This capability is provided by
a small autonomous drone unit called a Dead Person [trans. unclear]. The Dead Person
conceals itself during combat. It is not a viable target for direct fire. Saturation attack by
artillery/heavy air/orbital fire may have good effect (although Guardians transmat frequently
and refuse to assemble into large formations).
Solitary Dead Persons have been observed in all areas of operation. The relationship between
solitary and paired Dead Persons remains unclear.
Psion analysis indicates that specific areas are inimicable to Guardian counter-attritional
reconstruction. Phobos Command has initiated an orbital survey. BL I/2 will attack the Vex
gate artifact in Meridian Bay to secure possible related intelligence.
Flayer analysis suggests that the Hive have developed unconventional counter-Dead Person
capability. The capture of Hive leadership might yield vital strategic intelligence, including
weapons or tactics capable of defeating Guardians permanently.
We advance that the Hive fleet group near Saturn presents a strong target.

A Tactical Outcomes Analysis

Though they lack the speed of a Fallen Pike, and their unwieldy shape
cannot match the maneuverability of a Guardian's Sparrow, the Cabal
Interceptor more than makes up for both shortcomings with firepower a pair of low-velocity, high-yield anti-personnel/anti-armor cannons on
articulated mounts. These weapons deal Solar damage.
Powered by a variant of the same boosters used in infantry jump jets
and the massive Goliath tanks, Interceptors skate over the dunes of
Mars, keeping close watch on the Cabal Exclusion Zone.

The blocky, dull exterior of the Cabal Harvester belies the grace

them dropping in aggressively from low orbit with a deafening

Harvesters often remain on station after deploying Cabal troops,

Executor, I want to note again how strongly I feel that the tenets do not cover
this kind of field work. The real battle is back home, in the heart of the City, in the
people of the Tower.
In any case, as you requested I've made a detailed study of the Cabal command
structure aboard the Dreadnaught. Detailed notes are enclosed, but suffice it to
say their normally robust military engine has found itself hopelessly mired aboard
Oryx's fortress.
Our assaults on Cabal leadership in-system has had a devastating impact. The
Skyburner's Primus, his bond-brothers, Valus Ta'aurc, Valus Trau'ug, Primus
Sha'aull, and a smattering of lesser Vals and Bracuses... all dead or on the run, all
thanks to us.
In short, I believe your supposition is correct. The Empire will have no choice but
to respond.

Description

I have stayed with the Cabal, even as the Light in me dims - I have been too far from the
Traveler for too long. If I am not destined to find my own Guardian, at least I can inform the
City of what I've learned.
I thought Mars would be the place to find a Guardian. The sand preserves everything well,
and Clovis Bray had been famous for attracting talent. The brave, the brilliant, the footloose,
those restless on Earth and itching for fame. I stowed away aboard a Mars scout ship,
hoping.
No luck. The sand ate everything. Clothes from skin, skin from bone. It was as if there were
never any people here at all. I have been through every broken window in every building.
Nothing. That is, no Guardian material. And no ride back to Earth. The scout was long gone.
What I did find, however, was a way into the Cabal Warbase. Their runty piggish eyes are
too dull to see me, as long as I stay out of their defense systems. The Psions are a different
matter: Too quick, too clever, throwing their minds around like hammers. I creep around walls,
or dig into a heap of canisters and watch from there.
There is a vast Empire behind these creatures, many star systems away. Some pledge
allegiance to that far Empire, obeying their ancient marching orders. Some do not. They
disagree among themselves about the answers. I wish arguing Cabal on no one. They slam
their plated bodies into each other with horrendous roars. Intelligence gathering has never
been so painful.

With a few blood-curdling exceptions, the Goliath is the single largest piece
of ground-based ordnance the Cabal has deployed in our system. These
huge armored vehicles sport an incredible arsenal of weapons, tailor-made
for massive area denial. The Goliath's main gun is almost certainly capable of
engaging spacecraft.
Four massive boosters keep the Goliath mobile. This locomotion system
makes the Goliath surprisingly agile, but it is also a weakness. Targeting the
boosters should allow a quick mobility kill, rendering the Goliath vulnerable to
follow-up attack.
Most Goliath weapons deal Solar damage.

Description

Discovered by Holborn’s Host in association with Lord Shaxx and
a Redjack fireteam, Fleetbase Korus marks the largest known
Cabal orbital defense station in-system. Reports have the
Fleetbase under the command of a triumvirate headed by one
Primus Ta’aun, and his fleet battalion commanders Valus Tlu’urn
and Valus Mau'ual. The Skyburner fleet has yet to be deployed
against the City, bringing Zavala the fear that the Cabal have
yet to launch their core campaign.

Reports suggest Valus Mau’ual's armor allows him a degree
of maneuverability unseen from other Cabal warriors. It
features a never-before-seen propulsion system that
improves on the Valus’s already considerable striking ability.
Tales of his skill in hand-to-hand combat on the Martian
frontlines claim he carries no firearm into battle, preferring
instead to charge headlong like a nimble boulder.

demolition challenges. Whether this represents training or a

I don't know what it means. It's not difficult to hide in these caverns when you're as small as I
am, although the Psions tend to look around them when they pass me. There are infinitely
many cracks and crannies. They are not a race that fears infiltration or espionage.
There is meaning to the structure and layout of their buildings. This is a warrior people, and
they lay out their fortifications along ancient principles and time-tested strategies. I can't
figure out the sense that lies behind it. I would need ten times the computing power for

For all their might and strength, for all that they have dug into Mars and flung up battle walls
with the bureaucratic grimness of conquerors, I suspect they are fleeing from something.
That within their hard shells and thousand-folded shields is a sharp seed of terror. But of

Ghost Fragment: Cabal 4

Rumors of a yet-to-be-deployed Cabal Fleet have long
haunted the Vanguard Hall. Hidden efforts unveiled the
Phobos fleetbases house what is merely the first wave of a
full-scale celestial demolition fleet, codenamed Skyburners.
Ghost scans of the ships and reports of a large Psion
presence have Warlocks anxious to learn of their weaponry.
Dead Orbit assures the City that the Skyburner fleet poses
no immediate threat to the City.

Today, Primus Ta’aun leads from the front.
He pounds from bunker to bunker, roaring encouragement. “You’re my cornerstone!” he tells
a wounded Centurion, grabbing her by her armored shoulders. “Bear the weight!”
He gets back up, into the fight. “Come on!” Tlu’urn snaps at him, running along behind Ta’aun
and saying all the cruel things his commander can’t. “You don’t need two arms to fight!”
He calls for fire support. Artillery shrieks overhead. On the plains below the Cabal perimeter,
Vex march out of the lightning. Torch hammers burst up like mortars and Ta’aun and his bond
brother duck behind a burning Interceptor for cover.
“This is going well,” Tlu’urn rumbles.
A Vex particle beam needles a little hole through the Centurion’s helmet. He falls dead. Goblins
swarm over her bunker and then the Goliath tank supporting this bastion fires a main gun
round into the mess, killing the Vex, the bunker, and all the Legionaries inside. The concussion
knocks Tlu’urn against his Primus.
“About as well as expected,” Ta’aun grunts. Tlu’urn laughs.
The grind is eternal. Like duty. Ta’aun keeps fighting, out here past the edge of the Empire,
because failure is unthinkable. Defeat’s much worse than death.
But Ta’aun is so, so tired.
Tlu’urn gets up and starts shooting Vex. “You’re not really going to do it.” Even though he’s
fully armored, and only a meter away, his voice on the com crashes with static. “You’re not
going to go. It’s mad.”
The Vex Hobgoblins start firing at Tlu’urn.
Particle beams scream and spark off his enormous bulk. Ta’aun yanks him back to cover. A
maniple of Phalanx troops rush forward to plug the gap. “I have my orders. Our report went
all the way up, and the decision came all the way back.”
Valus Tlu’urn’s blank helmet swivels to stare. “You mean — ?”
“It came from the Emperor Himself.” Ta’aun can feel the pressure gel pumping against his skin,
keeping him insulated from this deadly world, keeping him alive. “I’m ordered to board and
capture the Hive flagship. At any cost.”
A Vex Minotaur blinks up behind the Phalanx line. Primus Ta’aun’s armor paints the target and
he absolutely unloads, putting all his fear and anger and sorrow into the wretched machine.
He roars and roars. The Minotaur burns.
His soldiers cheer.
“That’s a job for an elite unit. Not a few scout legions bogged down in attrition war. We
should wait until — ”
“It’s the mission I’ve been given. I will use what I have.”
“Mutiny,” Tlu’urn whispers. “You should mutiny.”
Oh, to mutiny. To be like Valus Trau’ug, who took his Broken Legion against the Reef — and
failed, failed utterly.
Duty is victory. Mutiny is worse than death. Even if death seems certain.
“No,” Ta’aun says. And that’s that.
The Vex are falling back. Together, they’ve held the line.
