Apart from their role as destroyers these ships were utilized for other purposes, such as mobile prisons.<ref name="Dungeon"/> They may have carried and launched [[Tombship]]s. These ships seemed to have lost power when the [[Harbingers]] were launched, although the Dreadnaught was unaffected.<ref name="YouTube"/>

They may also possess the means to fire [[Seeder Ship]]s to board other ships or deliver troops quickly to a planet's surface.

The [[Battle of Saturn]] devastated this fleet. Although the Dreadnaught made it through unscathed, the [[Awoken]] fleet destroyed many Hive warships with the aid of Harbingers. The vast majority of the fleet was ultimately the victim of friendly-fire, however; when Oryx fired the Dreadnaught's main weapon, the blast indiscriminately obliterated both Hive and Awoken vessels within a set radius of the Dreadnaught.

A portion of the Hive fleet, including some Hive warships, was outside the blast zone at the time and survived but so many ships were lost that Oryx was forced to stall his invasion of the inner system.<ref name="YouTube"/> Four are known to have survived the Dreadnaught's superweapon, one of which has been converted into a Crucible ground, [[The Dungeons]].<ref name="Dungeon"/> Two more are later seen in the skies of the [[Oversoul Throne]] during [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]'s funeral,<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last Rites]]''</ref> indicating they can slide between dimensions.

One particular Hive warship crashed into the [[Tangled Shore]] following the battle, which was helmed by [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]].

==Trivia==
Curiously, the Grimoire card shows a band of green along the waist, and a cloud emanating from the rear, in direct contrast to what is shown in the cinematics.<ref name="Dungeon"/> This may be either a developer mistake or when the ship is quintessential.
Given the scale of the [[Dreadnaught]] compared to the Hive Warships, a rough estimate of the size of these ships is 50-60 kilometers (or 31-37 miles) in length, at least. Some appear larger which may be because they're closer to the viewer in some images, or may indicate different classes.
