The '''Dreadnaught''' is a massive [[Hive]] spaceship that serves as the fortress of [[Oryx, the Taken King]].

In effect, his ascendant realm is located within the Dreadnaught itself, making his ascendant realm more mobile. | ||
The Dreadnaught has a massive parabolic dish built into its starboard side which appears to be the emitter of some sort of super-weapon, capable of decimating fleets and even destroying a portion of Saturn's rings. As the weapon charges, energy travels laterally along the Dreadnaught's hull from each end until it reaches the dish, where it is collected and released in a devastating spherical pulse that expands outward from the ship, destroying or severely damaging anything in its path.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=jnTYt_lu4CE '''YouTube''': ''Official Destiny: The Taken King We Are Guardians Trailer'']</ref> | The Dreadnaught has a massive parabolic dish built into its starboard side which appears to be the emitter of some sort of super-weapon, capable of decimating fleets and even destroying a portion of Saturn's rings.
