(Black holes and stars, very different things, so not a Nicoll-Dyson laser. No reference of the Gift Mast ever attacking the Dreadnaught in the Books of Sorrow either, so edited that out.)

The Gift Mast was a megastructure built by the Traveler around the black hole at the center of the Harmony's solar system.[1] The Gift Mast is said to have created a 'sting', presumably a weapon. However, this was not enough for the Harmony to defeat the Hive, and the Harmony were exterminated by the onrushing forces of Oryx the Taken King.
