| | When [[Oryx]] invaded the Solar System, the Reef was on the forefront of repelling the [[Hive]] fleet. Their armada met Oryx's fleet in combat in the rings of [[Saturn]], but were overwhelmed by Oryx's power and destroyed with very few survivors. |

| ===The Taken War===
| |
| When [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] invaded the Sol System, the Reef was at 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. | |

| |
| | |
| Though the Dreadnaught was restricted to Saturn, and most of its accompanying fleet annihilated by its own superweapon, hundreds of [[Seeder Ship|Seeder]]s nonetheless landed across the Reef, flooding it with Hive and causing widespread damage.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Regent|Regent]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===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. Raids led by the [[House of Kings]] led to further destabilization, forcing Petra to pull back and consolidate the Reef's territory to protect civilian life.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#Fanatic .7C Part I|Fanatic | Part I]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Years after Mara Sov disappeared from the [[Sol System]], the Reef collapsed from the loss of their armada and security; capping at it were the Scorned Barons, a gang of renegade [[Baron]]s terrorizing both Fallen and Awoken alike, and the betrayal of the former Reef prince [[Uldren Sov]], having allied with the House of Kings and united the disjointed Fallen into the [[House of Dusk]]. The Scorned Barons were caught and imprisoned by a [[Guardian]] posse led by Hunter Vanguard [[Cayde-6]] and Petra Venj, leaving only their Archon [[Fikrul]] to escape and met with Uldren at the brink of death; becoming the first of the [[Scorn]].
| |
| | |
| A year after the [[Red War]], Petra Venj and Cayde-6 brought Uldren and Fikrul into the Prison. Taking advantage of this, the imprisoned Uldren orchestrated the warden [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] into unleashing a massive breakout from the Prison of Elders, releasing the Scorned Barons from their cages and murdering Cayde-6 in the process. The Scorn forces fled into the [[Tangled Shore]] under Uldren and their eight commanding [[Baron]]s. The situation became so dire that the [[Guardian]] were called upon to contain the chaos.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u4oyarcc4I Destiny 2: Forsaken – Official Reveal]</ref>

| The Queen commands the military forces of the Reef through seven [[Paladin]]s. The Royal Armada, consisting of the Reef's space fleet in addition to the [[Corsair]]s, who serve as field scouts, and the [[Vestian Guard]], which patrols the Reef's borders, is led by four Paladins. The Royal Army, which encompasses the Reef's soldiers, battle stations, and military installations, is in the charge of two. The seventh Paladin directs the [[Royal Awoken Guard]], which is dedicated to protecting the Queen from both direct threats to her person and indirect threats that endanger the Reef as a whole and therefore the Queen by extension and/or association.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#The Royal Awoken Guard|The Royal Awoken Guard]]''</ref> | | The Queen commands the military forces of the Reef through seven [[Paladin]]s.

| *Despite being a matriarchal society, Awoken males are capable of reaching positions of power and respect, such as the Paladins and the Cryptarchy; [[Hallam Fen]] and [[Master Ives]] being examples.
| |
| **In ''[[Forsaken]]'', it is explained that there are no objections to Awoken males reaching positions of influence and power within the Awoken's society, just that it was rare.
| |
| *The two [[Destination|destinations]] in The Reef contain all enemy races as a whole, meaning that it has more races than any other planet or moon in the series, with multiple enemy factions across each.
