==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. | |||
