When Oryx invaded the Sol System, Mara planned to meet him in [[Battle of Saturn|battle]] at [[Saturn]]'s rings. As the Awoken fleet gathered at a floating starport deep within the Reef a night of revelry was held to create good memories for the loved ones of those who might not return from battle. Mara witnessed Uldren entertaining a group of children with tales of Ager and Rega defeating their foes together. She listened as he reassured a young girl named [[Erith]] when the children were surprised by a load crash as asteroids smashed together and handed her spy glass with with to "watch" the siblings do battle. The Queen then stepped in and brought an end to the tales by claiming the Prince needed sleep before the battle and dismissed the children. Once they had left, Mara glared at her brother and warned him to stop filling the heads of the children with nonsense.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Weapons|Weapon Lore]]: [[Ager's Scepter]]''</ref>

Mara's fleet challenged the Taken King in an effort to protect the Reef from further incursion and protect the inner system, 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]], [[Missions|Mission]]: [[The Coming War]]''</ref>
