In preparation to challenge [[Oryx, the Taken King]], Queen [[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.

After the events of the [[Red War]], Cayde grew tired of the Tower and ventured out to hunt enemies of the Vanguard. He captured many threats and put them into the [[Prison of Elders]]. Eventually, he gathered six of his most trusted Guardians and aided Petra in restoring order to the Reef, which had fallen into chaos after the events of [[The Taken War]] and the Red Legion's invasion. This campaign culminated in a battle against the [[Scorn]], a powerful faction of Fallen outlaws. During the battle, most of the Scorn's Barons were killed, but Cayde and his team captured seven of them and sent them to the Prison of Elders.

After two years of deadlock battling the Taken curse upon the Dreaming City, Petra and her forces found themselves facing new setbacks with the arrival of the [[Pyramids|Black Fleet]] in the Solar System. The Pyramids invaded several worlds and moons across the system and eventually caused them to disappear in a wave of [[Darkness]] that was only halted by the [[Traveler]]'s reformation. Petra was plagued by dreams of their disappearance, and she soon noticed a difference within the Dreaming City's air following the display of power by the Darkness, sensing that a new unknown battle was being fought there that she could not see clearly. Petra also learned of rumors about Prince Uldren being alive and on the Tangled Shore, although she regarded that as being impossible. The Young Wolf soon visited her and she expressed her sorrows for the losses they and the Last City had suffered when [[Io]], [[Mars]], [[Mercury]], and [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] had disappeared and shared with them her concerns over the Darkness' effect on the Dreaming City. Petra also shared the rumor of Uldren's survival with them and requested that if there was any truth to it that they share it with her before any official reports were sent out.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/petra-venj-the-prince-lives Petra Venj - The Prince Lives]''</ref> | After two years of deadlock battling the Taken curse upon the Dreaming City, Petra and her forces found themselves facing new setbacks with the arrival of the [[Pyramids|Black Fleet]] in the Solar System.

Petra soon had another visitor, the [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]], who was seeking information on a new threat he sensed was building in the system. Although he was an ally of the Reef, he had long been absent and Petra was unsure how much she could trust him.

Following Mara Sov's return, Petra was tasked by her to assist in the restoration of her coven of Techeuns. Petra would often supervise the Guardian's operations to stabilize the Ley Lines and rescue Techeuns. Soon, however, Mara would order her to stop [[Crow]] from conversing with Savathun, leading to a tense standoff between the two which ended thanks to intervention from Crow's Ghost, [[Glint]]. However, Petra still harbors a grudge against Crow, as she can be seen treating him coldly when speaking to him. When the Guardian came to her following her blocking Crow from Savathun, Petra explained that what she did was the Queen's orders, not from her own bias. | Following Mara Sov's return, Petra was tasked by her to assist in the restoration of her coven of Techeuns.
