Two years after the apparent death of Oryx in the [[Taken War]], a previously unknown [[Savathûn's Hive|Hive brood]] infested the abandoned [[Golden Age]] [[New Pacific Arcology|arcologies]] on the moon of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], led by powerful Hive such as [[Naktal, Fury of Savathûn]], [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]], and [[Vanbaluk, Trusted of Savathûn]]. [[Ghost]] scans of various Hive artifacts further linked the new brood to Savathûn. Most disturbing of all, a fireteam of Guardians was lost during an incursion into the New Pacific Arcology, Operation Caliban, and were discovered to have been converted by the Hive into crystals containing [[Void Light]]. These crystals were intended to feed a summoning ritual for her, the centerpiece of which was a massive [[Shrieker]] titled "[[Savathûn's Song]]". With the aid of the [[Praxic Warlocks|Praxic]] [[Warlock]] [[Taeko-3]], the Guardian fought through the depths of the Arcology and destroyed the crystals and the Song, disrupting the summoning ritual. | Two years after the apparent death of Oryx in the [[Taken War]], a previously unknown [[Savathûn's Hive|Hive brood]] infested the abandoned [[Golden Age]] [[New Pacific Arcology|arcologies]] on the moon of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], led by powerful Hive such as [[Naktal, Fury of Savathûn]], [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]], and [[Vanbaluk, Trusted of Savathûn]].

On [[Io]], Taken forces led by [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria]] have attempted to corrupt the Vex collective at the [[Pyramidion]], only to fail due to the [[Guardian]]'s intervention. Furthermore, a Red Legion commander, [[Grask, the Consumed]] was encountered as a Taken; the Red Legion only had a presence in Sol after Oryx's permanent death, so this serves as further indication that that Savathûn has achieved domination over the Taken. | On [[Io]], Taken forces led by [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria]] have attempted to corrupt the Vex collective at the [[Pyramidion]], only to fail due to the [[Guardian]]'s intervention.
