The '''Siege Dancers''' is an elite detachment of the [[Cabal]] scout legions on [[Mars]], identified by their signature yellow armor with blue accents. They are led by the infamous [[Valus Ta'aurc]], a member of the [[Dust Giants]], after the death of their [[Primus]].<ref name="Dunemarchers">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - Item Description: [[Dunemarchers#Lore|Dunemarchers]]''</ref>
The '''Siege Dancers''' are an elite detachment of the initial [[Cabal]] legions on [[Mars]], lead in battle by the infamous [[Valus Ta'aurc]], a member of the [[Dust Giants]].


==Overview==
==Overview==
Acting as the Cabal's elite forwarding unit, the Siege Dancers are deployed into unsecured areas to take control and set up fortifications, expanding borders of the [[Exclusion Zone]] to encompass more Cabal territory. Unit commanders of this legion possess more operational freedom than other units due to their tactical doctrine of facing much greater unknowns. They will often compete in demolition challenges as either training or a form of recreation.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal|Cabal]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Siege Dancers|Siege Dancers]]''</ref> After their previous [[Primus]] was killed by [[Loyalists]] under the former [[Emperor Calus]], Ta'aurc of the [[Dust Giants]] took the reins of the Legion in their place.<ref name="Dunemarchers"/> Under his leadership, the Cabal conquered more land in the [[Meridian Bay]] until they had encompassed the entire city of [[Freehold]] in their territory.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal Command|Cabal Command]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal Command#Valus Ta'aurc|Valus Ta'aurc]]''</ref>
Acting as stormtroopers, they secure new territory and set up fortifications. They possess more operational freedom than other units, and will compete in demolition competitions.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Siege_Dancers|Siege Dancers]]''</ref> They can be identified by their blue and yellow armor.

===Leadership===
*The Siege Dancers have the most distinct and bright coloration of a Cabal deployment to date with bright yellow and light blue colors.
*'''[[Valus Ta'aurc]]''' {{c|Fleet commander}}
*Going by how the [[Cabal]] groups were created, the Siege Dancers are the subdivision of a subdivision, as the [[Dust Giants]] used to be part of another legion called the [[Sand Eaters]].
**Because of this, the Siege Dancers could be one of the smallest divisions among the Cabal scouting legions.
**This is supported by their commander being a Dust Giant himself as well as the Trenchworks featuring Dust Giant banners.
*The Siege Dancers are the among the Legions to not be ruled by a [[Primus]].
*Banners of the Siege Dancers can be found on the Omega side of the [[Crucible]] map [[Firebase Echo]] on [[Nessus]], suggesting a Cabal presence on Nessus predating the [[Red War]], or, more likely, Siege Dancer cooperation with the [[Red Legion]]. The use of Siege Dancer banners may also simply have been a gameplay choice to better differentiate areas of the map.
