Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
The Cabal are a militaristic alien race in the Destiny universe, a species built around conquest, combat, and empire.
People of a different race or skin color, that are chastised and frowned upon for being different in culture or appearance.
Psionics, psychic abilities or mind powers, Are abilities either supernatural or through technology that use the brain/mind to manifest powers. These can include Telepathy, Psychokinesis, Pyrokinesis, etc.

The Red Legion is an elite Cabal Legion once led by Dominus Ghaul. They invaded Earth seeking to claim the Traveler as their own in a conflict called the "Red War". In the aftermath of the Red War, the Legion would fracture into splinter groups under various leaders such as Val Ca'uor, Valus Thuun and The Psion Flayer Council. Most of the remnants of the Red Legion now serve under Empress Caiatl, Ghaul's Daughter, And are now allied with Humanity and the Eliksni "House of Light" in The Coalition.
The Shadow Legion (also known as the Dark Cabal) are a Cabal Legion that act as enforcers to the newly risen Disciple of The Witness, Emperor Calus and possess Pyramid tech to suppress the Guardian's powers. After the fall of Calus they now act as support for The Witness' Dread forces.
The Dread are an army of Darkness-wielding entities created by the Witness. They consist of beings reshaped by the Witness into their "perfected" form, with its Disciples serving as a genetic blueprint for some Dread units (Tormentors shaped after Nezarec, Subjugators shaped after Rhulk), and remnants of other subjugated species transfigured into its army using stolen Light from the Traveler.
