Dreadnaught

The Dreadnaught is a massive, millions of years-old Hive spaceship that serves as the fortress of Oryx, the God-King of the Hive. Accompanied by a fleet of Hive warships and Tombships, the Dreadnaught has entered into orbit around Saturn while Oryx prepares to enact his revenge against the Guardians for killing his son. According to Ghost, more than one Dreadnaught exists, but Oryx's ship is the first of its class known to have entered the Solar System.

The Dreadnaught has a massive parabolic dish built into its starboard side which appears to be the emitter of some sort of super-weapon, capable of decimating fleets and even destroying a portion of Saturn's rings. As the weapon charges, energy travels laterally along the Dreadnaught's hull from each end until it reaches the dish, where it is collected and released in a devastating spherical pulse that expands outward from the ship, destroying or severely damaging anything in its path.

The Dreadnaught is a massive destination with its own patrol mode and other activities. The Dreadnaught includes many raid-like secret locations and puzzles that players can revisit and solve to earn special rewards. Players will not only have to find a way inside the Dreadnaught in story missions, but also plant the beacons to be used later in patrol. Though it is a Hive ship, it is defended primarily by Oryx's personal army of Taken. In addition, a Cabal strike force has breached the interior and can be encountered engaging both the Hive and Taken.
