The '''Dreadnaught''' is a massive [[Hive]] spaceship that serves as the fortress of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. Accompanied by a fleet of [[Hive warship]]s and [[Tombship]]s, the Dreadnaught has entered into orbit around [[Saturn]] while Oryx prepares to enact his revenge against the [[Guardian]]s for killing his [[Crota, Son of Oryx|son]].<ref name = "PD">[http://planetdestiny.com/taken-king-analysis/ '''Planet Destiny''': ''The Taken King Trailer Analysis'']</ref> According to an analysis by [[Ghost]], the Dreadnaught may pre-date the formation of the [[Earth]], making it at least 4.54 billion years old.<ref name="Regicide">'''Bungie (2015-9-18)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Story]] mission: [[Regicide]]''</ref> Part of the Dreadnaught's construction is made from the corpse of the [[worm]] god Akka, whom Oryx had previously slain in order to learn the power to [[taken|take]].

In effect, his ascendant realm is located within the Dreadnaught itself, making his ascendant realm more mobile. | The '''Dreadnaught''' is a massive [[Hive]] spaceship that serves as the fortress of [[Oryx, the Taken King]].

The Dreadnaught has a massive parabolic dish built into its starboard side which appears to be the emitter of some sort of super-weapon, 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> This weapon is essentially the same as an [[Oversoul]] death | The Dreadnaught has a massive parabolic dish built into its starboard side which appears to be the emitter of some sort of super-weapon, capable of decimating fleets and even destroying a portion of Saturn's rings.

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.
