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, fireteams of Guardians were lost during an incursion into the New Pacific Arcology, Operation Caliban, and were discovered to have been the subjects of the Witch Queen's foul experiments: having their [[Light]] converted by the Hive into crystals containing elemental [[Void]] [[Light]]. These crystals were intended to feed a invocation ritual for hers, the centerpiece of which was a massive [[Shrieker]] titled after her [[Savathûn's Song|aforementioned song]] | 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]].
