But without the Worms, the undead Hive would have no way of gathering tribute, to grow from Thrall, to Acolyte, to Knight/Wizard. Thus, Viznoor sought a way for newborn Hive to mature overtime without having to rely on the tithing system followed by the broods of [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] or [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]]. He, Ir Azari and their Daughters then worked together to concoct an elaborate scheme to meet this end. | But without the Worms, the undead Hive would have no way of gathering tribute, to grow from Thrall, to Acolyte, to Knight/Wizard.

Ir Azari and her daughters constructed a device from the remains of Hive from other broods, as well as emancipated Worms, which they named the ‘Kill Battery', and sent numerous scouts who still had their Worms, magically transformed to appear as members of the [[Grasp of Nokris]] to the [[Hellas Basin]] of [[Mars]]. These scouts infiltrated the [[Escalation Protocol]] and would be repeatedly slain by [[Guardians]] participating in the event. The Kill Battery would draw power from the scouts' continuous deaths, before finally being charged enough to be able to create a Throne World in the [[Ascendant Realm]]. The Kill Battery was then moved into this new throne world, so that they could begin the next phase of their plan. | ||
The Daughters of Viznoor, through the Kill Battery, manipulated the passage of time in the throne world so that more tribute could be gathered at a much faster rate than outside. They then captured numerous Hive that were not a part of the Stygian Brood as well as [[Vex]], and placed them within the throne world to fight each other. The abducted Hive were replaced with doppelgängers from the Brood to cover their tracks. | The Daughters of Viznoor, through the Kill Battery, manipulated the passage of time in the throne world so that more tribute could be gathered at a much faster rate than outside.

Seizing the opportunity to claim new territory for his Brood, Viznoor ordered his forces to seize the Wreck, building large underground tunnels to it from Soriks' Cut and the [[Jetsam of Saturn]]. They began to construct a large Hive nest under the new location while scouts were sent to patrol and secure the surface. | ||
However, the brood would soon meet unexpected resistance, as their activity was noticed by [[UserWiki:Vothriks, the Lost|Vothriks]], the commander of a renegade faction of Taken that had broken hold of the Hive and regained their sentience. Vothriks and his Taken had already settled in the Wreck long before Viznoor had uncovered it, remaining in hiding for many years. Partially due to his hatred for the Hive and his fear of being discovered and forced back into servitude, the Taken Kell immediately ordered a counterattack to repel the invading sect. However the Stygian Brood was not easy to get rid of, and would continue to hold their fort in order to claim the Wreck from the rogue Taken, and possibly even the Taken themselves. | However, the brood would soon meet unexpected resistance, as their activity was noticed by [[UserWiki:Vothriks, the Lost|Vothriks]], the commander of a renegade faction of Taken that had broken hold of the Hive and regained their sentience.
