   [Music] w hello I'm lead writer Dave atic and I'm here with another episode of L makers Guide to the Galaxy hi there I'm Ark of is Sherry hyberg and I am here with another edition of L makers Guide to the Galaxy um for those who have never seen lur makers guide before uh member of members

   of the lore team take it in turns to guide you throughout all the systems in the Star Citizen universe and this week the system in question is called cabal so let's just go there real quick is it cabal is it cable is it cabal the question of pronunciation has not yet been settled because it is only inhabited by uee surveyors it is otherwise totally clean or totally empty of any inhabitants we we prefer the turn empty around here doesn't imply anything bad it just doesn't have any people in it really UE surveyors aren't really people no they're really people I'm just kidding so people have come to blows

3. 00:01:44

   over the question of pronunciation but most of the surveyors are settling on the pronunciation of cabal now let's get to it this here is the star and the cens Kabal it is an F Type which means it's uh basically one step above our sun in the uh the sequencing chart it's a main sequence star F ours is a g the ftype stars um don't have as long of a lifespan as our star they're hotter more luminous they're definitely way more massive and consequently they have larger inhabitable zones which you can see right here the system already has two planets in it uh it would be great if the system had more planets in it

4. 00:02:31

   other than just three because then we could have an Ellis situation where we've got three planets that are just like right in the middle of the inhabitable Zone and then a fourth one on the outskirts when they're considering terraforming that one but alas it is a small one and it makes do with what it has by being very mysterious it doesn't have any native life as far as we can tell um as a rule of thumb when you're trying to figure out whether a world might have in might have life in it you're going to look at the age of the star and look at how long the life cycle of the star is we think that it takes about 2 billion years to naturally evolve Life On Any Given Planet because that's about how long it took for our world to develop life um it's possible it's possible

5. 00:03:20

   there's other forms of life that develop quicker but we just don't know it the Galaxy and the Universe At Large are gigantic all right now that we've gone over this glorious stop let's move on to gabal one which is a protoplanet we haven't communicated that it's as sufficiently lumpy as I would like it to be cabal one right here like all most other protoplanets is not a perfect sphere it's sort of like a potato or maybe like piece of popcorn maybe not as dramatic as a piece of popcorn but you get the idea it's uh more massive than an asteroid it's less massive than a dwarf planet it's something in between it's basically like a seed of larger Planet although some protoplanets don't ever become full-blown planets like series which is in our asteroid belt and is

6. 00:04:07

   forever doomed to be a teenage Planet always stuck almost going through puberty almost making it but then in the end just kind of hanging around with the other asteroids and being a teen forever maybe maybe hanging out in her parents basement be nice to series and other po planets they need it as far as we can tell from the initial surveying this little Proto Planet here is rich in minerals so it could be a good source of income for any miners who are interested in the system once it is cleared for travel so let's move on to cabal 2 this one is of interest because even though it's a desert Planet kind of you know kind of like Mars it is very very steadily just like right in the middle of the inhabitable zone so if we wanted to terraform it it would be very easy to

7. 00:04:56

   do it's got a magnetic field that could hold an atmosphere in place uh it doesn't really have any volcanic activity that we've seen but that'd be easy enough to Kickstart with the tech terraforming technology that we've got in game so there's a lot of interest from people not just regular U citizens or aliens who are just like oh what are they going to do with the system ship manufacturers like Esperia are very very interested in the system and there is a contingent of tan who insist that the cabal system should be given to them and the reason for that can be discovered if we go over this way and end up at cabal 3 the Third Rock From the Sun just like our

8. 00:05:43

   rock as you can see cabal is a naturally inhabitable world it's got oceans it's got plants it's been around for more than two billion years it doesn't show any evidence of having been terraformed and it's totally uninhabited however that does not mean that it was never inhabited as surveyors got closer to the system they discovered that it is covered with abandoned tan cities since there aren't any records that are still extant from the first and second tan Wars as we did destroy their civilization and absorb the surviving tan into the uee we don't have any idea what happened to the tan who used to live here there are no signs of a struggle on the planet there's no blast craters there's no like s of fire that could have been caused by anything other

9. 00:06:33

   than natural fire Cycles on the planet it just seems to be it's like they answered a phone call and left the door open and then just disappeared forever the UE surveyors have some theories as to what happened to them one popular theory is that because the system shows evidence of having been abandoned during the first Teran War it could be that all the able-bodied inhabitants of C Cal 3 cabal 3 I said Cabell oh I'm going to get punched by a surveyor of cabal 3 were called back to the planet and so many tan were poured into the war effort that they just never returned and eventually the system became abandoned as the old inhabitants died out it's been long enough that it's possible that people died like in chairs and their

10. 00:07:21

    bodies R away etc etc etc you know just for a nice little gruesome picture of what's going on in cabal 3 Zoom away for a second right let's get back to here there it is also possible that the jump point from elisium to cabal which exists it seems to be steady today collapsed and then reformed since jump points do collapse it is quite possible that this happened um there's just no evidence that it happened and people are leaning towards the war Theory there are some tan out there who may know what happened to cabal but no one is speaking up and no one knows how to how to find them because of the teor and diaspora so why was it abandoned what happened who knows we are hoping to get

11. 00:08:10

    answers as the UE continues to survey the system one more interesting thing about Kabal 3 since the ruins are very intact there are all kinds of cool things in there like religious artifacts like amazing tant architecture and also perfectly preserved tan ships and weapons now ship manufacturer Asperia makers the vandel glaive have gotten their hands on plans for the tan Prowler which they will be releasing very soon no one knows exactly how they got the plans but I imagine there's a u surveyor out there who suddenly has a lot of funds in their account that maybe they should account for and let's make note of this guy over here this is the cabal cluster Alpha it is a mineral Rich asteroid field kind of hangs out in it own orbit in the lrange

12. 00:09:01

    point of cabal 3 see right there hello it it was very steady it's kind of like the Trojan asteroid Fields uh in our solar system kind of hangs out in the lran point steady gravity well so uh it shows no evidence of having been mined thoroughly if if the tan did mine it while they were here they didn't take too much from it so this could be a very good Prospect for people who are interested in mining once the uee lifts the travel band on the system now let's zoom out here real quick and let's find the cabal Lear jump point you see it right there you may be familiar with Lear from our citizen con demo it has the planet with the sandworm on it it jumped out and scared the player character and probably ate a few Nomads while it was going at it it's

13. 00:09:51

    also the home of a political group called The Outsiders which you may have heard about in the previous episode of lur Maker's Guide to the Galaxy from my comrade Adam Weezer so that's it for slightly unsettling spooky cabal home of the plans for the prowler which will be released by isperia very soon hopefully we will be able to travel to this system soon and solve the mystery of why the tevan suddenly abandoned a planet that honestly looks like it's a pretty good candidate for habitation thank you so much as always for supporting us I'd like to extend a special thanks to our subscribers who make all of our programs possible and every citizen who has ever played any part of our game and who continues to
