The '''Dune Raiders''' is a collection of Cabal renegades, deserters, criminals and mercenaries from across the many Legions of the Cabal under the leadership of Primus Lau'urc.

In the years that followed, Lau'urc would lead her crew, now calling themselves the Dune Raiders, in looting [[Red Legion]] outposts in and around the Reef to bolster their forces, as well as recruiting deserters and mercenaries from the Red Legion and other Cabal factions like Calus' [[Loyalists]] to their side, such as Dhozoz, the Silent Brawn. They would also begin to work alongside the Spider's Crime Syndicate, offering their services in exchange for weapons and munitions. During the [[Clash of the Chosen]], they would loot and pillage the Battlegrounds of [[Caiatl]]'s army. One splinter of Caiatl's army, led by a Flayer named Vraltras, who had abandoned the Empress for losing the final [[Rite of Proving]] to the [[Guardian]]s would seek out the Dune Raiders to join them, bringing supplies, weapons and ships with them.  

With the supplies accumulated since their escape, Lau'urc's next order would be to turn the asteroid Sylvia into their new base and repair the Carrier, later dubbed the Thanatos Transfuga. With the asteroid's surface clear, they hallowed it out and converted it into Firebase Cerberus with enough room within to store Goliath Tanks and all of their loot. They also converted its moons of Remus and Romulus into orbital gun emplacements for added defence.

However, despite stealing from her Battlegrounds, Lau'urc began to find sympathy in Caiatl's cause, especially after learning what had happened to [[Torobatl]]. Later on, as [[the Coalition]] began to form, Lau'urc would express her support to the Empress in the upcoming war against the [[The Witness|Voice in the Darkness]] and its forces. While most of her crew reacted with positivity to this, some like Vraltras and Shumuv were more negative, with the latter even defecting to Emperor Calus.

When the Leviathan was [[Severing of the Nightmares|haunted]] by [[Nightmare]]s, Lau'urc would move her control beyond the Reef and so moved to claim the Uranian Moon of Titania. There, the Dune Raiders constructed a mighty Fleetbase and deployed many giant mining drills to gather resources. During construction, Dune Raider crews found a derelict Pyramid buried deep under the surface of the moon. Lau'urc and the Dune Raiders would begin plundering the vessel of whatever tech, weapons, trinkets and relics they could find, intent on using them against the Witness and its servants, as well as to hopefully reclaim their home.

In the aftermath of the Witness' death in [[The Traveler]]'s [[Pale Heart]], the Dune Raiders would begin plundering from the now scattered and leaderless [[Shadow Legion]] and even manage to convince many of those deserters that had joined Calus to join them.

{{Quote|In theory, any Cabal or Psion that can aid in Lau'urc's ambitions and will bend the knee are welcome, regardless of previous affiliation. However, their frequent use of "dishonorable" tactics seems to limit recruitment opportunities.|Unknown [[Spectral Network]] agent}}  

Dune Raider armor is primarily Scout Legion based, but coloured pale yellow with a teal trim and with bits of Red Legion armor, such as wrist blades and jetpacks, grafted on. However, some parts of the Red Legion armor design have been removed. For example, Dune Raider Psions don't have their heads exposed and Dune Raider Phalanxes don’t wield energy shields. But Dune Raider Colossi can have access to Solar missiles and Arc missiles and be identified by differently designed helmets, similar to Scorn Chieftains.
