- There's the quote from the Grimoire: "Ask yourself: what threatened your Golden Age ancestors so much that they constructed the Exos to defend themselves?" Exos, as we're finding out, are really really advanced. To the point of being fully intelligent and having lifespans that stretch back to the Golden Age some hundreds of years ago. We're looking at a minimum of years of design for them I'd think.

I have a hunch that this threat may have been the Cabal. It seems apparent that they are the "conventional" expansionist-military antagonists, bent on conquest and territory. Isn't there reference to standing against them at the Twilight Gap?

Very possible. I too get this sense that the Cabal are not affiliated with The Darkness and are just in it for themselves. But that might be true of the Fallen and Vex too. So far, I think The Hive are the only ones we know are working for The Darkness.
