| The Sand Eaters arrived in Sol sometime after the [[Collapse]]. They would set up bases at the [[Exclusion Zone]], [[Scablands]], and [[The Barrens]] on [[Mars]]. | | *The Sand Eaters were originally described as guarding the [[Dust Palace]] in early promotional material. |
| | | *The Sand Eaters are the first Legion (and 1 of 5 Legions) that operates without a [[Primus]], the other 4 are [[Dust Giants]], [[Ice Reapers]], [[Siege Dancers]], and the [[Broken Legion]]. |
| [[The Guardian]] would arrive at the [[Exclusion Zone]] on [[Mars]], to search for an entrance to the [[Black Garden]]. Despite their numbers advantage, they would be unable to defeat the lone Lightbearer, who would kill [[Bracus Tho'ourg]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Exclusion Zone (mission)|Exclusion Zone]]''</ref> Later, the Sand Eaters would attempt to take control of the [[Buried City]] from the [[Virgo Prohibition]]. However, the Guardian would stop them, killing [[Bracus Tha'aurn]] and weakening their hold over the city.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Buried City (mission)|The Buried City]]''</ref>
| | **However, [[Umun'arath]] is the Primus of All Legions, meaning she's possibly the Primus of Sand Eaters, Dust Giants, Ice Reapers, and Siege Dancers |
| | | *The Sand Eaters and the [[Dust Giants]] are the only two legions in which their legionaries wear re-breathers on their helmets. Given that the rest of the scout legions also operate in the same harsh environments of Mars, it is unknown why they require extra filtration. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Sand Eaters were originally described as guarding the [[Dust Palace]] in early promotional material.{{Citation needed}}
| |
| *The Sand Eaters are the first Legion (and 1 of 5 Legions) that operates without a [[Primus]], the other 4 are [[Dust Giants]], [[Ice Reapers]], [[Siege Dancers]], and the [[Broken Legion]].
| |
| **However, [[Umun'arath]] was the Primus of All Legions, meaning she possibly was the Primus of Sand Eaters, Dust Giants, Ice Reapers, and Siege Dancers.
| |
| *The Sand Eaters and the [[Dust Giants]] are the only two legions in which their legionaries wear re-breathers on their helmets. Given that the rest of the scout legions also operate in the same harsh environments of Mars, why they require extra filtration is unknown.
| |
| **A possible reason for this is that the Sand Eaters and the Dust Giants are mostly in front of battles or more conflict than the rest of the other legions.
| |
| *[[Terrabase Charon]] on [[Io]] features banners and emblems of the Sand Eaters, indicating that it was formerly one of their bases prior to being taken over by the [[Red Legion]] or that members of the Sand Eaters were relocated there during the [[Red War]] before the base was abandoned entirely.
