Taken War (Earth-2130)

"Six of you went down into the pit. You sought revenge for those I've lost. You slew a god. Crota, with his last breath, he reached out across the night, and now, the night has answered. Oryx, Crota's father. He smells the blood of his son on your hands. We have slain his brood; we have murdered his son! And now, the Taken King comes for us all."

The Taken War was a major interstellar conflict between the Vorcha under the rule of Oryx, the Taken King, and all other races in New Eden. The conflict was a result of the Coalition of Ordered Governments-Swords of Sanghelios alliance's murder over Oryx's son, Crota, in the effort to stop an impending invasion on Sera. With his Taken forces, Oryx brought his fleet to Gallente Prime, destroying everything on his way. The war was so severe that it lingered on even after Oryx was killed, as his Taken forces continued fighting in a failed effort to claim the King's empty throne.
