-Like the people of [[stories:guild_of_vexilologists_and_iconographers|the Vexilologist Guild]], the people of The Cabal also live a wholly nomadic, spacecraft-bound life. They roam the multiverse in fleets of varying size, lead by [[stories/ah.com_enterprise_-_spacecraft_and_vehicles?&#shift-capable_multiverse_starships|shift-capable "worldships"]], several kilometers long (such as the //Mercator//). These are virtually always accompanied by various smaller ships. While the Cabal members regularly stop over at planets to offer their trade, forge deals or gather the latest news, they very rarely visit planets for prolonged stays on their surface. However, Mappists that weren't directly born into The Guild, but were adopted or initiated into it at a certain age, tend to be planet dwellers in origin.+Like the people of [[stories:guild_of_vexilologists_and_iconographers|the Vexilologist Guild]], the people of The Cabal also live a wholly nomadic, spacecraft-bound life.
