Ghaul's Coup (Earth-2130)

Ghaul's Coup was a military-led coup d'état against the Cabal Emperor Calus, led by Primus Ghaul. It was a success, resulting in Ghaul's ascension as the Cabal Empire's and Dominus, as well as heavy changes in yahg culture, such as heavy militarization and meritocracy as opposed to monarchy.

Background
Decades before the coup, the Cabal Emperor Calus, having recently been crowned, dismantled and purged the Praetorate, the military aristocracy responsible for leading the Cabal Legions, as he saw the Praetorate as deeply corrupt and abusing its own powers for enrichment at the expense of the Legions and Torobatl's population. Despite the success of the massacre, some members of the Praetorate survived, and were exiled. One of them was the Consul, who devised a revenge ploy against the Emperor. He eventually found the orphan Ghaul, seeing on him the perfect vessel for his vengeance, raising him to be a powerful warlord bent on dethroning and killing Calus with the intent of starting a new regime. Most of the Emperor's allies slowly started to see him in negative light, and eventually shared the ideals of his downfall.
