The [[Darkness]] spoke to Ta'aun during the Taking process, declaring that he was free now of his duties and noting that his code and valor had not been enough.

While severely diminished, the Skyburners survived long enough to see [[Ghaul]] arrive in the system. What became of them is unknown, but they considered their survival "victory enough."<ref>[[Skyburner's Oath]] lore description</ref>
Mau'ual and Tlu'urn eventually followed his path to the Dreadnaught and threatened to detonate the Dreadnaught's power core to either avenge Ta'aun or force the Hive to surrender. This plan would fail as the Guardians who killed Ta'uan would defeat the Bond Brothers as well, bringing and end to the triumvirate of Skyburner commanders responsible for many Guardian deaths.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Shield Brothers]]''</ref>
 
The Skyburners Legion continued to fight a hopeless war of survival aboard the Dreadnaught, all in the name of their mission that their Emperor placed upon them. The fate of Ta'aun was unknown to his Bond Brothers. Growing desperate, Ta'aun's chief lieutenants and Bond Brothers, [[Valus Mau'ual]] and [[Valus Tlu'urn]], launched an extreme plan to destroy the Hive and Taken by placing explosives on the Dreadnaught's power core. Whether to force the Hive into submission or to retrieve their lost Primus, the Brothers plan of destruction would be strong enough to create a blast capable of wiping out half the Solar System. Wishing to avoid this, the Guardians formed a strike team to disable to explosives before they could detonate. Reaching into the core, the Guardians face off against both of the brothers who were determined to finish their mission and avenge their Primus. Despite their fire power and formidable tag teamwork, the Guardians prevailed against the Valus's and saved the System.
 
The Guardians also disposed of their champion [[Valus Tau'ugh]]. The remaining Skyburners in desperation sent a distress call directed to the head of the Cabal Empire, [[Dominus Ghaul]], to inform him of their casualties and findings. Although the Guardians intercepted  the signal, the message was received by the Cabal Empire.
