When [[Oryx]] invaded the Sol System, the Reef was on the forefront of repelling the [[Hive]] fleet. Their vast armada, led personally by the Queen, met Oryx's fleet in combat in the rings of [[Saturn]], but were overwhelmed by Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]]'s superweapon and virtually the entire armada was obliterated with very few survivors. With the Queen missing in action, her Emissary, [[Petra Venj]], became acting regent-commander.

===The Red War===
The arrival of the [[Red Legion]] caused even more devastation in the Reef, facilitated by the supposedly-traitorous [[Broken Legion]] (in actuality a Trojan horse) from the Prison of Elders.
