In preparation to challenge [[Oryx, the Taken King]], Mara Sov spoke to Petra Venj regarding the [[Awoken]] fleet and the state of their Wolfships captured from the [[House of Wolves]]. Petra informed her that they only had twelve Galliots and [[Kaliks-Syn]] was still operational. The Queen designated Petra as her Regent-Commander and instructed her to place [[Paladin]]s [[Hallam Fen]] in charge of civilian defense and [[Kamala Rior]] to conduct a SAR run.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Regent|Regent]]''</ref> However she never informed Petra on the precise details of her plan.
When Oryx invaded the System, Mara Sov met him in [[Battle of Saturn|battle]] at [[Saturn]]'s Rings. Her fleet challenged the Taken King in an effort to protect the Reef from further incursion, 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]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref>
