'''Hive | The '''Hive warship''' is a class of [[Hive]] military spacecraft. These ships form part of [[Oryx]]'s fleet and are found near [[Saturn]]. One of them, a [[The Dungeons|prison ship]], has been converted into a [[Crucible]] site.<ref name="Dungeon"/> | ||
==Design== | |||
Like the [[Dreadnaught]], Hive warships are rectangular hexahedrons, but where the Dreadnaught's dimensions are consistent along its length, Hive warships taper slightly so that the front of the vessel is narrower than the rear.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/13/we-analyze-destiny-the-taken-king-s-eight-new-crucible-maps.aspx GameInformer: We Analyze Destiny: The Taken King's Eight New Crucible Maps]</ref><ref name="Prologue">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQymFddoo9I YouTube: Official Destiny: The Taken King Prologue Cinematic]</ref><ref name="YouTube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAZOVt4K8Tw '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny: The Taken King - Intro Cinematic'']</ref> | |||
They are equipped with twelve prongs, eight of which are near the "waist". The warships are armed with eight weapons along this waist which fire tracking [[Solar]] pulses; the waist is lit with a single orange band, presumably sharing power between guns.<ref name="YouTube"/><ref name="Prologue"/> Like the Dreadnaught they have a single engine, powered by Solar energies.<ref name="YouTube"/><ref name="Prologue"/> | |||
Apart from their role as destroyers these ships were utilized for other purposes, such as mobile prisons.<ref name="Dungeon"/> They may have carried and launched [[Tombship]]s. These ships seemed to have lost power when the [[Harbingers]] were launched, although the Dreadnaught was unaffected.<ref name="YouTube"/> | |||
They may also possess the means to fire [[Seeder Ship]]s to board other ships or deliver troops quickly to a planet's surface. | |||

The [[Battle of Saturn]] devastated this fleet. Although the Dreadnaught made it through unscathed, the [[Awoken]] fleet destroyed many Hive warships with the aid of Harbingers. The vast majority of the fleet was ultimately the victim of friendly-fire, however; when Oryx fired the Dreadnaught's main weapon, the blast indiscriminately obliterated both Hive and Awoken vessels within a set radius of the Dreadnaught. | The [[Battle of Saturn]] devastated this fleet.

A portion of the Hive fleet, including some warships, was outside the blast zone at the time and survived but so many ships were lost that Oryx was forced to stall his invasion of the inner system.<ref name="YouTube"/> Four are known to have survived the Dreadnaught's superweapon | A portion of the Hive fleet, including some Hive warships, was outside the blast zone at the time and survived but so many ships were lost that Oryx was forced to stall his invasion of the inner system.<ref name="YouTube"/> Four are known to have survived the Dreadnaught's superweapon, one of which has been converted into a Crucible ground, [[The Dungeons]].<ref name="Dungeon"/> Two more are later seen in the skies of the [[Oversoul Throne]] during [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]'s funeral,<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last Rites]]''</ref> indicating they can slide between dimensions. | ||
One particular Hive warship crashed into the [[Tangled Shore]] following the battle, which was helmed by [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]]. | One particular Hive warship crashed into the [[Tangled Shore]] following the battle, which was helmed by [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]]. | ||
==Trivia== | |||
Curiously, the Grimoire card shows a band of green along the waist, and a cloud emanating from the rear, in direct contrast to what is shown in the cinematics.<ref name="Dungeon"/> This may be either a developer mistake or when the ship is quintessential. | |||
