As of the Beta, we know that Destiny will feature four enemy races: the Fallen, Hive, Cabal and Vex. Although there is still a lot to learn about our enemies, DestinyOverwatch covers everything known about the Hive, including their classes and motivations.

The Cabal
The Cabal are a large, rhino-like species that inhabit Mars. They are powerful, especially at close range, and are well armored with body armor and, for some classes, thick shields. They are predominantly militaristic in nature (Spartans/Romans). Community member DBMgamer0722 has a great video revealing all of the Cabal classes, as well as touching on some of their symbolism. Imagine a Roman legion, populated by cloned versions of Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and you’ll have a sense of the brute power and militaristic might brought forth by the cabal, a race of steamrolling conquerors who tend to solve problems by blowing them up.
The Fallen
As of the Beta, we know that Destiny will feature four enemy races: the Fallen, Hive, Cabal and Vex. Although there is still a lot to learn about our enemies, DestinyOverwatch covers everything known about the Fallen, including their past, the different classes, their arsenal, ‘houses’ and more!
Mars Trailer
What little we know of Mars may as well be a myth. We built a massive metropolis in the red dust. No one knows what remains of our lost age, now buried beneath the dunes. [divider] We see the Exotic Thorn, Sunbreakers, Young Ahamkara’s Spine, and The Armamentarium equipped.
Titan Class Build Guide
ReachForgeNetwork has another great breakdown, this time focusing on the Titan. He goes over the key multiplayer components for the Titan Striker subclass in Destiny, and explains its close quarters combat strengths.

In Depth Look at the Sunsinger
DattoDoesDestiny has a new analysis video, and this one is covering the Sunsinger (Warlock subclass) in great detail. He goes over every skill and talent and discuss what talents will be the best (and worst) in each aspect of the game. The Defender Titan analysis video will premiere on August 15th and the Bladedancer Hunter to follow on August 18th. Then, either on the 19th or 20th, he will have a PvE comparison video between every subclass in the game and talk about builds, strike compositions and raid compositions.

Factions: What We Know
Factions are still shrouded in mystery, but we do have some insight into what they represent. In this video by DattoDoesDestiny, he looks at how they actually work, why you don’t need to choose just one, some of the lore behind them, and each of their motivations. What’s your favorite Faction?
