'''The Taken War''' was a major, system-wide conflict fought between the [[Hive]], led by [[Oryx, the Taken King]], and all other races in the system. The war began as a direct result of the [[Guardian]]s slaying Oryx's son [[Crota]], to stop an attempted invasion of [[Earth]]. Oryx brought his fleet to [[Saturn]], and began blighting the system with his [[Taken]] forces. The war continued to rage even after Oryx's death, as the Taken continued to haunt the system and a pretender, [[Malok]], arose to lay claim to the Taken King's vacant throne. | |||

With the blights eliminated, the Vanguard made preparations to once again enter the Dreadnaught, and slay Oryx for good. Oryx's Lieutenants still lived, most of them residing in the [[Court of Oryx]]. Eris had the Guardians depose the Court, as well as eliminate [[The Infantile]] before it could be infused with Taken power. Soon, there was none left but Oryx himself, as well as his closest allies, the [[Warpriest]], [[Golgoroth]], and his daughters [[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anuk]] and [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]]. With the Court soundly defeated, the Guardians used the rupture there to invade Oryx's Ascendant realm, destroying his soul and killing him once and for all. | With the blights eliminated, the Vanguard made preparations to once again enter the Dreadnaught, and slay Oryx for good.

The Taken War did not end with Oryx's death, unfortunately. The Taken continued to persist despite the loss of their master; though without Oryx's power they began to slowly decay, they remained a significant threat that the Guardians had to continue fighting. With the Osmium Throne vacant, some powerful Hive and Taken saw an opportunity to seize it for themselves. One was [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade]], a Hive Knight who Oryx had considered a foster son. Before Alak-Hul could break free of [[The Sunless Cell]] where Oryx had imprisoned him earlier for plotting to usurp him, he was defeated by a fireteam of Guardians. | |||

Sometime later, the Taken Knight [[Malok]] also began gathering his strength to claim dominance over the remaining Hive and Taken. [[Variks, the Loyal]] received reports of Malok's activities and sent in the Guardian to investigate. | |||
