I'm just going to make 3 possibilities on why Locus is here, make your opinions as you please.

1.  There is something in the crashed ship, as seen when Wash ignores the food supply, that is important to his "Control". Possibly a Forerunner-like weapon or important UNSC data.

2.  A mercenary formerly hired by the UNSC to kill the Reds and Blues while they were wanted criminals, he wants the job done right, and is killing any and all witnesses, AKA the Pilot.

3.  After hearing Wash's former affiliation, and may have been affected by Freelancer in some bad way, wants to put an end to any and all surviving members of Freelancer, and anyone who gets in his way.
