The Harbingers were last deployed against [[Oryx]]'s fleet at the [[Battle of Saturn]]. This was in accordance with a plan that "overcame death and spanned universes" devised by the Queen, in which all but one of the Harbingers would be sent against the [[Dreadnaught]] to burrow into its hull and "have children." <ref name = "The Coven"/> On summoning, they devastated many [[Hive warship]]s and [[Tombship]]s, but apparently failed to harm the Dreadnaught. [[Oryx, the Taken King]] then activated the Dreadnaught's main weapon and destroyed the Awoken fleet. Vestiges of the Harbingers linger around [[Saturn]]'s moons.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[The Taken King]]: PlayStation 3, Activision Blizzard, [[Telesto]]''</ref>
