Oryx turned the High War "inside out" by tying it into the structure of the Dreadnaught. In effect, his Ascendant Realm has become the Dreadnaught and vice versa, becoming physically mobile and thus more difficult to attack.<ref name="Shadows"/> | ||
One of the Dreadnaught's most notable features is a massive parabolic dish built into its side nearest the bow, which is the emitter for a paracausal superweapon capable of decimating fleets and even destroying a portion of Saturn's rings. As the weapon charges, energy travels laterally along the Dreadnaught's hull from each end until it reaches the dish, where it is collected and released in a devastating spherical pulse that expands outward from the ship, destroying or severely damaging anything in its path.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=jnTYt_lu4CE '''YouTube''': ''Official Destiny: The Taken King We Are Guardians Trailer'']</ref> Designed by [[Ir Halak]] and [[Ir Anûk]], the weapon draws on Oryx's power to briefly evert the Ascendant Realm within the Dreadnaught out into the physical realm.<ref name="Shadows"/> This is essentially the same principle as an [[Oversoul]] death impulse. | |||
Aside from this weapon, the Dreadnaught was also capable of remotely generating "eversive breach events," creating interdimensional rifts either to Take nearby organisms or to attack a given area with a short-lived stream of energy. <ref name="Dreadnaught">[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/hive-arsenal/dreadnaught '''Destiny Tracker''' - ''Grimoire: Dreadnaught'']</ref> | Aside from this weapon, the Dreadnaught was also capable of remotely generating "eversive breach events," creating interdimensional rifts either to Take nearby organisms or to attack a given area with a short-lived stream of energy. <ref name="Dreadnaught">[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/hive-arsenal/dreadnaught '''Destiny Tracker''' - ''Grimoire: Dreadnaught'']</ref> | ||

Furthermore, it continuously emitted exotic radiation in the form of sterile neutrinos, phaetons, mass growl, gravity waves, and axions, with significant spikes in this radiation being correlated with the breach events taking place across the solar system at the onset of the [[Taken War]]. <ref name="Dreadnaught"/> | ||
The Dreadnaught is a massive destination with its own [[Patrol]] mode and other activities. The Dreadnaught includes many raid-like secret locations and puzzles that players can revisit and solve to earn special rewards. Players will not only have to find a way inside the Dreadnaught in story missions, but also plant the beacons to be used later in patrol.<ref name = "PD"/> Though it is a Hive ship, it is defended primarily by Oryx's personal army of [[Taken]]. In addition, a [[Cabal]] strike force has breached the interior and can be encountered engaging both the Hive and Taken.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/12/new-details-revealed-in-our-exclusive-destiny-the-taken-king-hands-on-impressions.aspx '''Gameinformer''': ''New Details Revealed In Our Exclusive Destiny: The Taken King Hands-On Impressions'']</ref> | The Dreadnaught is a massive destination with its own [[Patrol]] mode and other activities.
