Editing War moon

First suggested to [[Oryx, the Taken King|Auryx]] by his [[Worm gods|gods]], the Hive colonized the Ammonite worlds as both an insult to them and for homes as Fundament was no longer suitable.<ref name="Sky"/> As the Hive matured, the moons were soon connected by interdimensional rifts thanks to studies done by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Savathun]] and power from [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], and their kingdoms grew through the establishment of their [[Ascendant Realm]]s, with trade and language passing between them.<ref name="Incision">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]] [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XXI:_an_incision|an incision]]''</ref>  

To stay sharp in the Sword Logic and feed their worms, the Hive god-kings warred amongst themselves as the moons traveled through interstellar space until they reached other civilizations, at which point they united to exterminate them.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]] [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XXII:_The_High_War|The High War]]''</ref> War moons were used to physically destroy Taishibethi orbitals and star webs.<ref name="Golden Amputation"/> They were also present during the [[Hive-Harmony war]];<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]] [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XLVI:_The_Gift_Mast|The Gift Mast]]''</ref> Oryx and Savathûn conversed amongst them.<ref name="Proof">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]] [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XLIV:_strict_proof_eternal|strict proof eternal]]''</ref> After this conflict both Xivu Arath and Savathûn departed, taking their war moons with them, the former flying off into space and the latter disappearing through the black hole.

Not long after [[Emperor Calus]]'s exile, the [[The Leviathan|Leviathan]] observed a fleet of [[Cabal warship]]s battling a war moon on the border of the empire. As the moon was too large to be destroyed by direct bombardment, warships cloaked by [[Psion]] powers attempted to land drills and troops on its surface to deliver a [[Cabal Heavy Munitions|planet-cracker]] into its depths.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/7/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|Entry II]]''</ref>

Much later, Calus and his [[Loyalists]] encountered another war moon. Within they found the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. In an attempt to bring the Hive under his control, Calus created [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]] for the sole purpose of wielding the Crown of Sorrow. Upon donning the Crown of Sorrow, Gahlran was corrupted by the Hive magic placed within the Crown by Savathûn, turning him against Calus. Subsequently, Calus called upon the Guardians to re-enter The Leviathan to kill Gahlran.

Following the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]], many war moons took part in the [[Fall of Torobatl]] as part of Xivu Arath's army invading the Cabal's capital. The moons proved to be too powerful for the Cabal's military and quickly overwhelmed [[Torobatl|Torobatl's]] defenses, forcing [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]] to evacuate the planet's population and order a tactical retreat to the [[Sol System]].<ref name="E7">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER_7:_CORONATION|Empress CHAPTER 7: CORONATION]]''</ref>
