War of the Cabal

The War of the Cabal is a fictional war situated in the game world of Destiny. It is a conflict between The City and the Cabal. Instigated by the Cabal invasion of Mars, the war has dragged on for several decades and has claimed several thousands of lives in its wake.

Background
During the Collapse, the Cabal invaded the human colonized planet of Mars. With no real defensive initiative, the Cabal quickly occupied it and began constructing military strongholds to protect their latest asset. Several years after, The City defended themselves with Guardians and began reclaiming their lost colonies. When a foothold was established on Earth, they soon departed for the other planets they once controlled. Guardians arrived on Mars, however they were quickly cut down in the Exclusion Zone. The Vanguard soon realized that they would need a strategic campaign in order to reclaim Mars.
