*[[Uldren Sov]] leads his fighter wings to attack the [[Dreadnaught]] and engage the [[Hive warship]]s and [[Tombship]]s protecting it. With help from her Coven of [[Techeun|Techeun Witches]], the Queen summons her [[Harbingers]] who tear through the Hive fleet and bombard the Dreadnaught, but leave no lasting marks on its hull. Oryx then fires the ship's superweapon, which rips a hole through the rings of Saturn and smashes the Awoken fleet. Queen Mara Sov and other major parts of the Reef's leadership, including [[Paladin]] [[Abra Zire]], and Techeun [[Shuro]], are considered Missing in Action while [[Petra Venj]] has advised all remaining Paladins to declare all of them dead. Though the Dreadnaught itself is unscathed, the casualties suffered during the battle force Oryx to forestall attacking Earth directly.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref>{{citation needed}}
*The Awoken space fleet engages the Dreadnaught and a small fleet of [[Hive warship]]s escorted by thousands of [[Tombship]]s; [[Uldren Sov]] leads his fighter wings to scatter the Hive fleet whilst from behind the Queen and her [[Techeun]] Coven summon the [[Harbingers]],<ref name="TCW">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref> as part of a predetermined plan.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/The_Queen#The_Coven|The Coven]]''</ref> The Harbingers destroy much of Oryx's fleet, ripping through enemy vessels with ease, but leave no marks upon the Dreadnaught itself. Oryx ends the battle by firing his ship's main cannon, destroying both his and the Queen's fleets in a single Pyrrhic stroke and force him to forestal his advance.<ref name="TCW"/> The Queen and major parts of Reef leadership, including [[Paladin]] [[Abra Zire]], and Techeun [[Shuro]], are considered missing in action.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Inventory/Special_Weapons#Telesto|Telesto]]''</ref>
