Is that so? I derive my hypothesis on the fact that natural selection is responsible for the inherited traits of a successful organism. The Cabal's gargantuan size would strongly suggest that the larger members of its species were exponentially better survivors as they evolved, passing the trait to further generations. The reason for the natural selection of the size trait would likely be the result of it giving the members of the Cabal that possessed it a survival advantage of some kind. Like creatures on Earth, the size trait likely allowed the Cabal to have an extreme advantage in melee-oriented combat; before they became technologically advanced enough to develop ranged weaponry. The size-factor was also used by the real Gigantopithecus species of ancient ape, but instead of going extinct, the Cabal's size advantage was obviously successful. Whether or not the Cabal homeworld possessed equivalent or greater gravity would also influence advantage of a larger stature, as lighter gravity would most likely result in an organism less sturdy and smaller, similar to Humans of Earth. Either way, the Cabal would have undoubtedly used their size to their advantage.
