View source for Sky Burners

The '''Sky Burners''' are the "celestial demolitions" fleet of the [[Cabal]]. They are mainly based around [[Phobos]], seeing limited deployment on [[Mars]], as their full strength has not yet arrived into the system. In the base game, they are only encountered during the final phase of the [[Cerberus Vae III]] and [[Dust Palace]] strikes. It is likely that these are an advance force under the command of [[Valus Ta'aurc]] as when Ta'aurc dispatched the elite [[Ice Reapers]] to hunt down [[Rasputin]] the Sky Burners accompanied them as well. The Valus himself even used Sky Burner soldiers as his personal guard until his assassination. In both cases however the Sky Burners suffer total casualties.

The Sky Burners play a larger role in ''[[The Taken King]]'' as they are found on [[Phobos]] and the [[Dreadnaught]].The Sky Burners are one of the first Cabal units to encounter the Taken and are routed utterly within hours, being forced to evacuate Fleetbase Korus. 

They were originally led by [[Primus Ta'aun]] before he was [[taken]]. The Sky Burners were ordered by the Emperor himself to board the Dreadnaught and kill [[Oryx, the Taken King]], by any means necessary. They crashed their warship into the Dreadnaught's hull, and are fighting a protracted war of attrition deep behind enemy lines. They can be identified by their light red/blue armor and brush on their helmets.
