The '''Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform''', or '''CABAL''' for short is an [[artificial intelligence]] in the [[science fiction]] [[real-time strategy]] [[computer game]] [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series|Tiberian Series]] of the [[Command & Conquer]] franchise. 

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. It also knows how to translate the [[Tacitus (C&C)|Tacitus]], an object which holds the secret to [[Tiberium]].
==Origin==
CABAL's origin is unknown (it is speculated that it is of [[Scrin]] origin). It was first acquired by the [[Brotherhood of Nod]] near the end of the [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series#Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (1995)|First Tiberium War]]. When GDI commandos stormed [[Kane (C&C)|Kane's]] temple during the Sarajevo battle, they could hear it malfunctioning from the Temple damage. Between the First and [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series#Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (1999)|Second Tiberium Wars]], Nod agents re-housed CABAL in a core in Egypt. CABAL assisted Kane loyalists in the overthrow of the [[Global Defencse Initiative]]'s puppet Nod leader Hassan.
