The Hive invaded Taishibethi space at some point following their obliteration of the [[Ecumene]], using their war moons to ram the Taishibethi orbitals and star webs, whilst sending [[Taken]] to blight their worlds. The war went poorly for the Taishibethi until the Tai Emperor Raven returned to them and confronted the Hive at the Raven Bridge. The Tai Emperor Raven singlehandedly destroyed a Hive war moon, killing all of the Hive within. Before she could press her advantage, however, [[Oryx, the Taken King]] transformed her into a Taken, The Perfect Raven. From that point on, it is said that no more Taishibethi are born. Soon after, the Golden Amputation ended and the Taishibethi were extinct.<ref name=" | The Hive invaded Taishibethi space at some point following their obliteration of the [[Ecumene]], using their war moons to ram the Taishibethi orbitals and star webs, whilst sending [[Taken]] to blight their worlds.
