The Dust Giants are an elite Cabal legion stationed on Mars, identified by their dark green armor with orange trim.
OverviewEdit
Recruited from Sand Eater veteran infantry, the legion of Dust Giants serves as a mobile shock and reserve force for the Cabal scout legions, reinforcing crumbling lines during major Vex offensives.[1] An officer of the Dust Giants, Valus Ta'aurc, led the Siege Dancers from the Imperial Land Tank Cerberus Vae III outside of Rubicon Wastes, up until his assassination by Guardians.[2] By the time of the Taken War, the Dust Giants had lost about 39% of their Cabal manpower across Mars and Phobos.[3]
Almost a year after the Red Legion entered the Solar System and the events of the Red War, a pair of Legionary deserters wearing Dust Giants colours were hosted by the House of Spider at the Spider's Palace.[4]
