When [[Oryx]] invaded the System, Mara Sov met him in [[Battle of Saturn|battle]] at [[Saturn]]'s Rings. Her fleet challenged the Taken King in an effort to protect the Reef from further incursion, but it was decisively defeated by the [[Dreadnaught]]'s primary weapon. In the immediate aftermath, Mara was nowhere to be found and feared dead by her own people. Despite such a staggering loss, it was all seemingly part of a plan Mara had formulated in secret with [[Eris Morn]]. The entire battle was simply a delaying action; in using the Dreadnaught's weapon, Oryx destroyed most of his own fleet as well as the Awoken ships, forcing him to hold back from advancing into the inner system. The Awoken's sacrifice bought Earth and the Guardians enough time to react and take the fight to Oryx.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref>
In preparation to challenge [[Oryx, the Taken King]], Mara Sov spoke to Petra Venj regarding the [[Awoken]] fleet and the state of their Wolfships captured from the [[House of Wolves]]. Petra informed her that they only had twelve Galliots and [[Kaliks-Syn]] was still operational. The Queen designated Petra as her Regent-Commander and instructed her to place [[Paladin]]s [[Hallam Fen]] in charge of civilian defense and [[Kamala Rior]] to conduct a SAR run.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Regent|Regent]]''</ref> However she never informed Petra on the precise details of her plan.


No body had been recovered after the battle, but signs that her ship had not been totally obliterated were recovered by Taken champions, which were later acquired and passed on to [[Petra]]. After a search through the Dreadnaught, there was still no sign of the Queen, but Petra continues to hope that she survived. [[Uldren]], who survived the battle, also suspected that the Queen survived, as he could still sense her.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#The_Aftermath|The Aftermath]]''</ref>

As it turns out, Mara did survive the battle, her body vaporized with most of her Ketch. However, her consciousness was able to survive in a manner similar to that of  [[Toland]]: a soul with no material form. Due to an opening created by the Harbingers, Mara was pulled into the Ascendant Realm. Resisting destruction by the power of the Sword Logic, Mara played her hidden angle to wait until Eris and the Guardians end Oryx, then scavenge his dimension for elements needed for the next phase of her master plan.
