The Star Cabal was a secret society of influential conspirators that were formed in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War.

Formed with the purpose of eradicating the Jedi and Sith, allowing for once the 'ordinary people to rule', it was made up of every major society or species in the Galaxy. Even at least one Rakata was known to have been a member of the Cabal, as well as Voss, Hutts and many others.

HistoryEdit

In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War, many individuals began to question the the justice of millions of lives being lost in a conflict between the Jedi and Sith. Some of these individuals came together and formed the Star Cabal, a secret organization dedicated to the preservation of galactic civilization through the control of information and influence. The Cabal did not discriminate against those of questionable morality—crimelords, gangsters, and smugglers could be members just as easily as politicians, nobles, and government agents.

The Cabal operated in complete secrecy, ensuring that no one outside of the organization knew of their existence. They also worked to conceal the continued existence of the Sith from the Jedi Order and vice versa, knowing that war would ensue if the two sides collided again.

However, sometime before the Cold War, the Cabal took on a less noble purpose. Later generations of members began to subvert the organization's goals, taking advantage of the Cabal's resources for their own profit. Over time, the Cabal strayed from its goal of preventing war, and became a secret society dedicated to its own protection and continued prosperity. The Cabal also orchestrated the creation of a private section of the Tomb, a secret Republic prison complex on Belsavis that had been created by the Rakatan Infinite Empire. This section, known as Megasecurity Ward 23, became a secret storehouse for the Cabal.

Here, the Cabal stored remarkable technology such as Microdroids and genetic maps, as well as the Scorpio artificial intelligence droid which served as its protector. In addition, their most valued members that were deeply respected were kept in stasis in kolto tanks in the Ward with one of their number being as old as 800 years old. These individuals were kept alive because of their experience though they themselves lamented on how the Star Cabal had become subverted.

During the Cold War, Hunter of the Star Cabal had inserted himself into the Republic Strategic Information Service where he used Ardun Kothe in his quest to find the Shadow Arsenal. When Cipher Nine of Imperial Intelligence uncovered these plans, the Star Cabal's existence was discovered by this Imperial Agent who sought to bring down the conspiracy.

After these events, Imperial Intelligence devoted itself to exposing the Star Cabal. Cipher Nine successfully infiltrated Megasecurity Ward 23 and met with the ancient members of the conspiracy, who indulged their secrets to the Agent as they believed the Cabal had grown too corrupt to continue. He also tracked down and learned of the activities of a Cabal agent on the planet Voss, ending with his discovery of the agent's ship, which contained valuable intel on the Cabal. The Agent's efforts forced the Cabal to take action, and it demonstrated its' reach by dissolving Imperial Intelligence, with all members being drafted into the armies of individual Sith lords and forced into open war.

With Intelligence gone and the Sith blind to the threat of the Star Cabal, the Minister of Intelligence himself decided to take matters into his own hands. With the last of his influence, he reassembled the most prominent men and women of Intelligence secretly and began working off the grid. They then contacted Cipher Nine, who immediately took up the mission once more. After feeding the Cabal false information under torture, Cipher Nine faked his own death. With the Cabal's guard down, Intelligence managed to track their communications to a station outside any known solar system. It was there Cipher Nine confronted and killed the conspirators, including their top agent, Hunter, and claimed the Shadow Codex either for the Sith or for himself.
