The Dreadnaught's hull is carved out of a segment from the corpse of the [[Worm]] god [[Akka, the Worm of Secrets|Akka]], whom Oryx had previously slain in order to learn the power to [[Taken|Take]]. Oryx turned the High War "inside out" by tying it into the structure of the Dreadnaught. In effect, his Ascendant Realm has become the Dreadnaught and vice versa, becoming physically mobile and thus more difficult to attack.<ref name="Shadows"/> | |||
One of the Dreadnaught's most notable features is a massive parabolic dish built into its side nearest the bow, which is the emitter for a paracausal superweapon 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> Designed by [[Ir Halak]] and [[Ir Anûk]], the weapon draws on Oryx's power to briefly evert the Ascendant Realm within the Dreadnaught out into the physical realm.<ref name="Shadows"/> This is essentially the same principle as an [[Oversoul]] death impulse. | One of the Dreadnaught's most notable features is a massive parabolic dish built into its side nearest the bow, which is the emitter for a paracausal superweapon capable of decimating fleets and even destroying a portion of Saturn's rings.
