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 unnamed Primus.^[1]

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.^[2] 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.^[1] Under his leadership, the Cabal conquered more land in the Meridian Bay until they had encompassed the entire city of Freehold in their territory.
