The '''Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform''', or '''CABAL''' for short is a [[fictional]] [[artificial intelligence]] - debatably artificial - in the [[science fiction]] [[real-time strategy]] [[computer game]] series [[Command & Conquer]]. 

Its purpose is twofold: it acts as a [[console]] interface between battlefield soldiers and their commander, and collates [[military espionage|intelligence]] and devises [[strategy]] of its own. Its name a contraction of the phrase "Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform", it is more likely named for the [[Kabbalah]], thanks to the peculiar sense of humour of its master, [[Kane (C&C)|Kane]], who delights in giving his possessions [[Tanakh|Biblical]] or [[Hebrew|Hebraic]] names. ⏎
Another possible origin for Cabal would be Kabale, a german word which has been used during the 18th century. Kabale means intrigue in current english.

It is the [[Brotherhood of Nod]] counterpart of the [[United Nations]] [[Global Defense Initiative]] [[Electronic Video Agent]].
