The Taishibethi (or Tai) were an intelligent species native to the planet Taishibeth. They were destroyed by the Hive in a conflict called the Golden Amputation.
Overview
The Taishibethi were an avian species described as "sun ravens" who arose on Taishibeth and eventually established an advanced spacefaring civilization that encompassed multiple worlds. They constructed orbitals and structures called "star-webs". Their military technology included "battleplates" and "arsenal ships". The Taishibethi were ruled by the Tai Emperor Raven.[1]
The Hive invaded Taishibethi space at some point following their obliteration of the Ecumene, using their war moons to ram the Taishibethi orbitals and star webs and sending Taken to blight their worlds. The war went poorly for the Taishibethi until the Tai Emperor Raven returned to them and confronted the Hive at the Raven Bridge. The Tai Emperor Raven singlehandedly destroyed a Hive war moon, killing all of the Hive within. Before she could press her advantage, however, Oryx, the Taken King transformed her into a Taken, the Perfect Raven. From that point on, it is said that no more Taishibethi are born. Soon after, the Golden Amputation ended and the Taishibethi were extinct.[1]
