*Eris Morn | *Eris Morn alerts [[Mara Sov]] of Oryx's arrival, and the Queen sets out with the Awoken armada to Saturn, where the Taken King's Dreadnaught and a massive fleet of Hive ships have amassed, presumably to invade Earth. | ||
*[[Uldren Sov]] leads his fighter wings to attack the [[Dreadnaught]] and engage the fleet of [[Hive|Tombships]] protecting it, with the Queen and Oryx presiding over the battle from their respective flagships. | *[[Uldren Sov]] leads his fighter wings to attack the [[Dreadnaught]] and engage the fleet of [[Hive|Tombships]] protecting it, with the Queen and Oryx presiding over the battle from their respective flagships. | ||

Oryx then fires the ship's superweapon, which rips a hole through the rings of Saturn and smashes the Awoken fleet. Queen Mara Sov and many other major parts of the Reef's leadership, including [[Paladin]] [[Abra Zire]], and Techeun [[Shuro]], have since disappeared and are considered MIA, while [[Petra Venj]] has advised all remaining Paladins to declare all of them dead. Though the Dreadnaught itself is unscathed, Oryx's fleet is obliterated and he is halted from attacking Earth directly. | ||
*The [[Vanguard]] intercepts a distress signal on all channels, broadcasting from the [[Skyburners]] fortress of [[Cabal|Korus]] on [[Phobos]].

A Guardian is dispatched to Phobos, where they find the Skyburners have been slaughtered. Oryx contacts the Guardians, willing into existence the first wave of his army of corrupted [[Cabal]] and Hive called the [[Taken]]. The Guardian defeats these Taken, overcoming [[Syrok, Word of Oryx]]. They then attempt to escape the Skyburner Keep via the [[Aerodrome]] landing pad, which is riddled with Taken. The Guardian reaches the [[transmat]] zone and is pulled back to the Tower. | ||
*Realizing the Taken to be too deadly a threat to take lightly, the Vanguard send Guardians to rediscover lost powers of their forebearers. The [[Hunter]] gains the [[Nightstalker]] class and the [[Shadowshot]] super ability, the [[Warlock]] gains the [[Stormcaller]] class and the [[Stormtrance]] super ability, and the [[Titan]] gains the [[Sunbreaker]] class and the [[Hammer of Sol]] super ability. | *Realizing the Taken to be too deadly a threat to take lightly, the Vanguard send Guardians to rediscover lost powers of their forebearers.

*The Vanguard locates Oryx's Dreadnaught in orbit of Saturn and analyzes its super weapon. Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6 directs the Guardian to one of the dead [[colony ship]] in Old Russia, where he had previously hidden a [[NLS Drive|stealth drive]] capable of getting Guardians past the super weapon into the Dreadnaught to face Oryx.

Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6 directs the Guardian to one of the dead [[colony ship]] in Old Russia, where he had previously hidden a [[NLS Drive|stealth drive]] capable of getting Guardians past the super weapon into the Dreadnaught to face Oryx. Upon touching down in the Blast, just outside of the Fallen House of Devils' lair, the Guardian discovers that the Taken have attacked Earth and have overwhelmed the Fallen. They then recover a stealth drive before defeating an [[Echo of Oryx]] and returning to the Tower. | ||
*With the stealth drive equipped, the Guardian evades Oryx super weapon and infiltrates the Dreadnaught. The Guardian then proceeds to disable the super weapon, and break into the crashed Cabal gunship,[[Dantalion Exodus VI]], and steals information that the Cabal have secured on Oryx. Learning of a portal called the Rupture, the Guardian travels to back to the Moon where they obtain enough of Crota's essence to become [[Hive|Ascendant]]. They then infiltrate the Rupture and defeat Oryx' physical form, forcing his soul to retreat deeper into his ship until a team of six Guardians finishes him off for good. | *With the stealth drive equipped, the Guardian evades Oryx super weapon and infiltrates the Dreadnaught.

*With the arrival of Oryx, Cabal detachments across Mars and Phobos suffer enormous casualties. The Cabal are nearly annihilated until their reserve force, the [[Skyburners]] are deployed in a direct attack on the Dreadnaught. After the Skyburner's [[Primus Ta'aun|Primus]] is [[taken]] though, their offensive crumbles. A lone unit aboard the Cabal ship, [[Dantalion Exodus VI]] sends a distress signal to the head of the Empire, only to be wiped out by Guardians. Nevertheless their message is believed to have reached its intended target. | |||
*The House of Wolves regroups on Mars and rebuilds their previous Prime Servitor, [[Orbiks Prime]]. Under Orbiks' direction, the Wolves attempt to establish a base in the Blind Legion's former [[The Legion's Keep|keep]], coming into conflict with local Cabal forces. The Guardian tracks down Orbiks Prime and eliminates it, scattering the House of Wolves once more. | *The House of Wolves regroups on Mars and rebuilds their previous Prime Servitor, [[Orbiks Prime]].
