Dark Cabal

The difference between other Sith Orders and these guys is that they don't desire to control anything. All they want to do is cause chaos, or as they call it "change"
— Gillian, explaining the Dark Cabal's purpose

The Dark Cabal, is a Sith Cult founded sometime ago by Darth Arma, who was one of the first Sith Lords. They are highly organized and loyal to Darth Arma, many members revering him as a god. Unlike other Sith Orders, the Dark Cabal does not seek conquest and control of the Galaxy, but rather manipulate it from the shadows, under the belief that from chaos and war, comes change and evolution, which Arma developed from his training with his Master, Ajunta Pall.

History

Though the exact date when the Dark Cabal was officially founded is unknown, it originally began back when Bavok became a Sith Lord. After the passing of many of his fellow Exiles, Bavok eventually retreated to the seventh moon of Korriban, building a citadel within the mountains, where he would remain in isolation most of the time, researching more about the Dark Side, and creating new experiments and techniques. Among the other occupants in his home were Sith slaves, as well as many Massassi warriors under his command, Kissai who assisted in his experiments, and Zuguruks, who helped maintain his fortress palace. Others were minor Sith Lords, who would sometimes come to Bavok for wisdom, or stayed within the citadel for further training in the dark arts.

Organization

The Dark Cabal does not follow the Rule of Two, as Darth Arma had lived long before it was created. The title Darth is bestowed onto those that have completed their training and gained full approval from Arma himself. Once that is done, the Sith Lords teach their own apprentices, Sith Acolytes, so they too may become useful to the Cabal. However, all acolytes must be tested and bestowed the title of Sith Lord by Arma himself, even if he did not personally trained them.

Along with being recognized as a Sith Lord, those who gained the position are more privy to the organization's plans. Many times members are given certain roles and tasks, such as infiltrating governments, the military of various worlds, businesses and even the criminal underworld too. Acolytes would sometimes accompany them, under the guise as assistants, enforcers or other positions where they would be near their master and help with their operations.

Armed Forces

The primary forces of the Dark Cabal are the Massassi, the ancient Sith subspecies that served the Sith Empire of old as warriors. These Massassi warriors are clones created from Bavok's old forces, empowered by the combination of both ancient dark alchemy of the Sith and cybernetics. The warriors all wear onyx black and crimson red armor and are armed with a variety of blasters, such as the E-11 carbine, A280 blaster rifle, E-11 blaster rifle, DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, DLT-19x targeting blaster, E-Web repeating blaster, FC-1 flechette launcher, DLT-20A blaster rifle, DH-17 blaster pistol, and the DH-17 blaster rifle. For melee, the Massassi warriors wield a variety of vibroweapons, as well as electrostaves and force pikes.

There also exists a subdivision within the Massassi forces, known as the Dark Guards. These clones are similar to the ARC Troopers, highly trained and elite fighters. Wearing the same colored battle armor as the main force, the Dark Guards also have waist-length black capes strapped to their shoulder pads, as well as jet-packs for flight. For weaponry, the Dark Guards wield Lightsaber Pikes, as well as retractable double vibroblades, and also the rare DC-17m ICWS, originally produced for the Clone Commandos and Imperial Commando Special Unit, as well as the side blaster variant. They also had cortosis covered bracers when fighting against lightsabers.

Excluding them, the other forces of the Cabal are mostly the private armies, security forces, mercenaries and thugs that the various Sith Lords possess due to their positions. Though many of them are unaware of their masters' true alliegance, they do still act in service of the Cabal's goals, but are treated nothing more than fodder.
