Two years following the death of her brother [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] and sometime after the [[Red War]], Xivu Arath began committing her forces to the Solar System, possibly in aid of her sister Savathûn or for her own schemes.

After the breakout, a substantial force of Hive and Taken had begun to pillage [[Awoken]] artifacts for unknown purposes. It would later be revealed that members of Xivu's own brood, [[Sugroth, Shield of Xivu Arath|Sugroth]], [[Hasaak, Venom of Xivu Arath|Hasaak]] and [[Tulkor, Ferocity of Xivu Arath|Tulkor]] were sent to both steal the artifacts and keep them out of the Guardian's reach. As the Guardians would cut through Xivu's forces, they would find out that some Taken champions, [[Crorok, Will of Xivu Arath|Crorok]] and [[Xaras, Greed of Xivu Arath|Xaras]] were apparently obedient to the war goddess with the latter being the commanding force of the Taken and Hive's pillaging schemes.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | After the breakout, a substantial force of Hive and Taken had begun to pillage [[Awoken]] artifacts for unknown purposes.

In a ploy to seize power in the wake of many | In a ploy to seize power in the wake of many destinations vanishing, Xivu Arath's influence in the form of her Wrathborn and the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] would appear. The High Celebrant was sent to Luna to wrest free the Swarm from [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen| The Witch Queen's]] plans and instead reform Luna in [[Xivu Arath, God of War| Xivu's]] image. A world where all tithes were tribute to her. The High Celebrant would, however, have their plans thwarted by [[Osiris]], who slew the near entirety of the Scarlet Court. Osiris would fall and strain against the sheer will of Xivu Arath's projection resulting in the High Celebrant marking runes around him and preparing him for his death. Despite surviving the loss of his Ghost, [[Sagira]], Osiris was greeted with little respite for the High Celebrant immediately sought off to hunt him only to be thwarted again by [[The Guardian]] instead, forcing them to retreat back to the [[Ascendant Plane]]. | ||

Following the Darkness's arrival, Nokris' fall, and various worlds of the Sol System going dark, the Guardians discover a rise of corrupted Hive activity within the Tangled Shore and the Dreaming City of the Reef. They soon learn that the Hive's God of War, [[Xivu Arath]], has begun to marshal her forces in preparation for the Darkness's next move. This was achieved from her [[Cryptolith|Cryptoliths]], organic Hive structures that borrow into the material plane and root themselves, calling out to nearby beings, drawing them closer to be transformed into [[Wrathborn]]. These Cryptoliths started corrupting Eliksni but quickly spread to Hive and Cabal. Commanded and aided in their spread by the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]], they would be the Wrathborn's command and Xivu Arath's lead in the system. To combat this threat, the Guardians agree to a partnership with the Spider and to work with a mysterious Lightborn called the [[Uldren Sov|Crow]], who is, in reality, Uldren Sov revived as a Guardian. In the ensuing weeks Wrathborn of [[House of Spider]], [[House of Dusk]], and the broods of the Hive would be hunted down. As for the corrupted Red Legion, none were encountered, which has concerned Crow. | |||

However, as | After failing to capture the Witch Queen, Xivu Arath's Horde would lie low for some time as the Guardians themselves dealt with Savathûn and her newly formed [[Lucent Brood]], who both now wielded the Light. However, as [[The Witness]], the true master of the Black Fleet, drew near, Xivu Arath sought to prepare the system for its invasion and thus began to target the Warmind [[Rasputin]] and his formidable Warsat Network. Further, the Witness gave Xivu Arath and her Horde free rein on punishing [[Eramis]] and her [[House of Salvation]] for failing to acquire the Relics of [[Nezarec]], mainly driving many of its members into becoming Wrathborn or killing lieutenants and resurrecting them as Scorn to serve Xivu Arath, such as [[Praksis]]. | ||
Though Xivu Arath and her Horde managed to acquire access to some of Rasputin's defense protocol and entrance to his Submind Vaults through the use of Eramis' House Splicers, | Though Xivu Arath and her Horde managed to acquire access to some of Rasputin's defense protocol and entrance to his Submind Vaults through the use of Eramis' House Splicers, teh whole of the Network remained out of their reach. To achieve their goals, Xivu Arath directed her forces to target one of the Warmind's chief creators, Clovis Bray I on Europa. The Guardians however, stymied their efforts by routing the Exoscience Labs where Clovis was stationed and brought him into the plan to restore the Warmind and counter Xivu Arath. The Bray patriarch directed the Guardians to gather Rasputin's subminds to aid in Rasputin's restoration, leading them to infiltrate each of the Submind Vaults and slay their defenders, most notably [[Warwatcher, Eye of Xivu Arath]] and Kelgorath, who Xivu Arath had restored and made a Darkblade. | ||
However, as the Guardians made progress in restoring Rasputin, the Vanguard's leaders, mainly Mara Sov and Osiris, began to wonder | However, as the Guardians made progress in restoring Rasputin, the Vanguard's leaders, mainly Mara Sov and Osiris, began to wonder in Xivu Arath's true goals, as she only had her Wrathborn leading the fight, a token force, to stop them, leading the Awoken Queen to believe that seizing the Warsat Network may not be the War God's plan. With deduction and reasoning, Mara came to the conclusion that Xivu Arath wants the Guardians to restore Rasputin so the Warmind can use his arsenal to smite her forces in which the resulting conflict and bloodshed would not only feed her worm but also serve as fuel to open a portal to summon the full force of her army onto to Earth. Such an invasion would overwhelm humanity, much like the Cabal experienced on Torobatl. | ||
Reasoning that they can't restore Rasputin and let him use his arsenal yet at the same time, they can't allow Eramis to access the Network, the Vanguard Coalition | Reasoning that they can't restore Rasputin and let him use his arsenal yet at the same time, they can't allow Eramis to access the Network, the Vanguard Coalition agree that they restore Rasputin as planned but he refrain from using his Warsats. Thus, they would create a stalemate with Xivu Arath, denying her the requirements she needs for her ritual. Unfortunately, Eramis and her Splicers would manage to gain access to Rasputin's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol, the order that Rasputin created which would direct the Warsats to target the Traveler in the event it ever began to leave Earth. The Guardians raced to the control hub of the network, the orbital station, Seraph Station, to prevent this but were impeded by Eramis' forces and that of Xivu Arath's Horde, led by [[Ir Garza, Scourge of Earth]]. Despite their efforts, Rasputin destroyed the Warsat Network by sacrificing himself to activating his AURORA SACRIFICE protocol, robing Xivu Arath's requirements for her ritual. | ||
With her plans in shambles, Xivu Arath ordered her Horde to withdraw from Earth and Mars but they would continue to cling onto Europa, leading Guardians to continue operations on the frozen moon. | With her plans in shambles, Xivu Arath ordered her Horde to withdraw from Earth and Mars but they would continue to cling onto Europa, leading Guardians to continue operations on the frozen moon. | ||

Following the | Following the Vanguards attempts to pass through the gateway in the Traveler left by the Witness, they received word of Titan's return and hearing a distress call from [[Deputy Commander Sloane]]. Ecstatic, Zavala gathered a team involving the Guardian to locate Sloane but as they land at the New Pacific Arcology, they become swarmed with Xivu Arath's Horde and Taken, even hearing the bellow voice of Xivu Arath herself. Despite the Horde's efforts, the Guardians were able to locate Sloane but one kilometer down within the moon's methane oceans. Though Sloane was partially afflicted with Taken energies when Titan disappeared, she was saved by a massive aquatic creature named [[Ahsa]] who claimed to be an old enemy of The Witness and she had a message for the Guardians regarding The Witness. Agreeing to aid Sloane in deciphering Ahsa's messages using a coral egregore found deep in Titan's depths, battling Xivu Arath's Horde and Taken that sought to stop them. | ||
Ultimately, Ahsa's message involved the origins | Ultimately, Ahsa's message involved the origins to The Witness's itself but before Ahsa could finish in delivering the final part of her message, she became caught in a ritual by Xivu Arath, led by her [[Scream of Xivu Arath|screams]], that would Take her. Scrambling together, the Guardian, Saint-14, Sloane, Zavala and Saladin managed to disrupt the ritual, freeing Ahsa and forcing Xivu Arath's Horde into a full retreat, allowing Sloane to interpret Ahsa's final message. | ||

Xivu Arath would respond to this and send her forces led by her champion the [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]], to invade the [[Court of Savathûn]], and steal the tributes hidden in her sister's oubliette. After her forces failed to defeat the Guardian in the [[Altars of Summoning]], she would call upon the Leviathan-Eater to test their capabilities. The champion chooses to withdraw and flee from the battle to prepare for their next battle and to rally the Horde. Later the Ogre [[Golakh, Befouler]] would assault [[Savathûn's Spire]], leading an army of [[Wrathborn]] [[Fallen]], despite their efforts they would be unable to defeat the Guardians and would fail to gain dominance over the Spire. | Xivu Arath would respond to this and send her forces led by her champion the [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]], to invade the [[Court of Savathûn]], and steal the tributes hidden in her sister's oubliette.

[[Arok'tha, Sworn to Xivu Arath]] and its forces would arrive through the Altar of the Sword to confront the Guardians, however, they would be no match for the Lightbearers' power and would be slain in battle. | |||
