"I put this crew together myself. They're loyal to me because I'm loyal to them."

— Primus Lau'urc

Primus Lau'urc is a powerful Colossus and leader of the Dune Raiders, a Cabal Legion comprised of deserters, criminals and mercenaries. Originally a member of the Skyburners, she would be incarcerated in the Prison of Elders during the Taken War where she would gain notoriety for winning multiple battles, including against a fireteam of Guardians. After escaping the Prison of Elders, she took those loyal to her and slowly worked to grow her Legion's power, but her ultimate goal remains a mystery.

Biography

Childhood

"Remember this, my little warrior. "A fortress wall built for one by his thralls is easily toppled. The strongest walls are the ones we build for each other." It is a lesson the Praetorate could not learn."

— Lau'dra, Father of Lau'urc

Lau'urc was born the sole daughter of the Cabal Lau'dra, a renowned Colossus who served Emperor Calus during his Uprising against the Praetorate. After years of service, he hung up his Slug Thrower and retired to the Distant Plains with his wife Trar'grel. Throughout her childhood, Lau'dra would teach her how to fight, tell her stories of his battles and take her to watch parades held by Calus. In particular, Lau'urc developed a love for explosives and spent a good few days making some from whatever scraps she could find and testing them on the safe expanse of the Plains.

Skyburner service

Eventually, when she was old enough, Lau'urc enlisted into the Skyburners Legion as a Colossus, like her father. She would participate in numerous campaigns serving under Primus Ta'aun and his Bond Brothers, and would eventually earn the rank of Bracus. She would also establish a bond with a Centurion and fellow Bracus named Mu'ull as she admired Mu'ull's tactical expertise while Mu’ull found her ferocity in battle endearing, as well as meeting the Phalanx Zahu'ul. Ta'aun grew increasingly frustrated by Lau'urc's often dangerous means of accomplishing a mission but believed it could prove useful in their future assault on Sol.

Lau’urc would be deployed to Phobos, with Mu'ull and a majority of the Skyburners' initial wave of their campaign. However, this soon drove Lau'urc to boredom, with only slight respite with testing ammunition with her squad and time with Mu'ull. She desired to fight on the Martian battlefield, fighting the Vex and splashing their milk on the red sand, and once considered abandoning the Skyburners to join Valus Trau'ug and his unsanctioned assault on the Reef. Still, Mu'ull would assure her that they would find a great battle against the Guardians.

However, that changed when Oryx attacked Phobos. While Mu'ull wanted to follow Ta'aun's orders and evacuate the base, Lau'urc wanted to stay and defend the base. However, she would be knocked out by an explosion caused by a Taken Knight and would need to be dragged to safety by Mu'ull.

Lau'urc later awoke on Mars in a base and found a recording from Mu'ull telling her of Ta'aun's orders to board for the Dreadnaught to take out Oryx and say her goodbyes out of fear that she would not survive the mission. Lau'urc planned to steal a ship and join the rest of the Legion, so she stole a Harvester and set course for Saturn.

Prison Fighter

"The Prison was put into lockdown while the Awoken Armada dealt with the Red Legion. However, we were too late to free the Guardians trapped in the arena. When they lost their Light, She and her troops tore them apart."

— Variks, the Loyal

Unfortunately, Lau'urc would be intercepted by the Awoken as her ship was passing through the Reef. She would be captured and thrown into the Prison of Elders, where she encountered what remained of the Broken Legion that had been struggling since the deaths of Valus Trau'ug and Val Aru'un. However, a Val named Gu'uam had taken control in their absence.

One day, Lau'urc was sent to fight a fireteam of Guardians. However, Ghaul and the Red Legion had caged the Traveler unbeknownst to either party. As a result, Lau'urc rose again and commanded her troops to tear the now Lightless Guardian piece by piece. This, and other fights in the Prison of Elders, would end up garnering her much respect among many of the other Cabal and Eliksni in the Prison of Elders, including three Psion Flayers and Val Thua'urn.

During the massive prison break caused by Uldren Sov and the Scorned Barons, Lau'urc and the remaining members of the Broken Legion would also escape by a few Harvesters captured by the Awoken. After fending off a horde of Scorn and escaping, Lau'urc received coordinates from Thua'urn pointing to a Red Legion Carrier that crashed onto an asteroid during the Red War.

Rising leader

"Bracus to Primus? That's one hell of a promotion."

— Crow

Not long after touching down at the downed Carrier, Gu'uam would attempt to rally the Cabal to make contact with the Red Legion proper. However, Lau'urc challenged him, stating that joining the Red Legion now would be a fruitless effort. Outraged, Gu'uam ordered her executed for treason. However, the brief battle between the crews ended in victory for Lau'urc and her loyalists, allowing her to take full control of the Broken Legion.

Afterwards, after recruiting or executing the remainder of Gu'uam's loyalists, Lau'urc promoted herself to Primus and leader of her gathered Cabal under the new name of the Dune Raiders.

Rite of Proving

During the Clash of the Chosen, Lau'urc would be among many Cabal to hear Caiatl's challenge to the disparent legions of the Cabal in Sol in the Rite of Proving for places on her War Council. However, after witnessing what happened to the previous aspirants, Lau'urc would choose to send a champion as her representative. She would ultimately choose to send Bracus Vanum as her champion, much to Zahu'ul's frustration and insistence. While Lau'urc told Zahu'ul he would needed for future plans, she truthfully didn't wish to lose him.

New Frontiers

Alternate allegiance

During the Guardian's journey into the depths of Sedna, they had to make their way through various simulations forged by Stioceon to get close to the core. One of these simulations was of one where the Shadow Legion won in their Invasion of Earth and destroyed the Last City, and one where the Dune Raiders had pledged themselves to Calus and the Witness. The Guardian would encounter the leader of the Shadow Legion, a Lau'urc who had become a Valus of the Shadow Legion, and quickly put them down to find a way out of the simulation.

Personality and traits

"None who joined my Legion were coerced into doing so. None are conscripted and all are welcome. Even those disillusioned fools who once knelt to The Witness have a place amongst us, if they pledge their loyalty."
