Despite the major losses to five legions, the Skyburners remained strong until the arrival of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] in Sol. The Osmium King and his [[Taken]] forces assaulted Fleetbase Kuros and decimated most of the remaining Cabal forces across the Sol System, breaking most of their strongholds and forcing the entire fleet to mobilize or perish. During the attack, [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx|Primus Ta'aun]] and his [[Valus Tlu'urn|bond]] [[Valus Mau'ual|brothers]] evacuated the Fleetbase leaving the fleet mobile in Space. | Despite the major losses to five legions, the Skyburners remained strong until the arrival of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] in Sol.

Ta'aun lead a team into the Dreadnaught but would ultimately be Taken by Oryx, becoming [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx]]. In retaliation to this, the bond brothers (Valus Tlu'urn and Valus Mau'ual) rigged the ship's core to blow but were stopped by a Guardian strike team. However despite the massive losses of the Skyburners, their mission was ultimately a success and their survivors were able to send their discoveries about the [[Light]] to Ghaul and his Red Legion. | ||
At some point after the order to ram the Dreadnaught, the survivors of the Dust Giants and the Sand Eaters were also ordered to investigate the Light. Specifically, they constructed [[Terrabase Charon]] on [[Io]] to study the remnants of the [[Traveler|Traveler's]] Light, left behind when it returned to [[Earth]] and fought the [[Darkness]] during the Collapse. The combination of these learnings and the learnings on the Dreadnaught allowed Ghaul to construct the [[Traveler Cage]] hopes of stealing the Light for himself. | At some point after the order to ram the Dreadnaught, the survivors of the Dust Giants and the Sand Eaters were also ordered to investigate the Light.
