Let's talk about the taken. This is the race that Oryx belongs to and probably the masters of the hive. And I'd he willing to be these ships belong to them. Why? Well in early art release there was a banner showing all 4 of the enemy races. Fallen, hive, cabal, vex AND another. And I would he willing to bet these ships belong to them.
[spoiler]Oh BTW watch the planet destiny video on taken king for more info[/spoiler]

Lol Doritos would be awesome to fight

Edited by Calichin: 6/10/2015 1:05:19 AMProbably going to be this A thrall with an extra eye An ogre with a extra arm A knight with two swords A witch that shoots solar A acolyte with an extra leg A cursed thrall that has a bigger blast radius There's your 40$ haha
-
We get to fight giant floating Doritos? I can't wait.
-
Check out the skull in PoE hanging above the Cabal's door. I always wondered if that was from a new race possibly close to mars.

Edited by Le Drewie: 6/10/2015 11:26:14 AMThose ships belong to the Vex, that's a piece of concept art that's been out way before Destiny released. Looks like they never implemented those things, though.

Reply to this plz for later
-
I thought they could be either a mix of all races or an entirely new race that was what the Hive actually looked like before they became corrupted, they were just Taken by Oryx to another dimension or place (like Crotas End) before they began looking like what they are.
-
There's a reddit thread about it. Taken are (speculated to be) a race of controlled/brainwashed Fallen, Cabal and maybe even Guardians. Included a picture to show concept art of the "Taken." Also, there are Cabal corpses on the PvP map Cauldron; a [b]Hive[/b] fortress under the moon's surface... The word Taken in it makes all of this make even more sense, as they are [b]taken[/b] and controlled by Oryx.
-
What if you buy the Taken King, but not The Dark Below. Then you've never killed Crota, so what if Oryx does nothing until you are forced to buy TDB. #bungieconspiracy
-
Incoherent bullshit. Moving on.
-
They are "Taken", this means that they aren't a new race, they are members of all races, and even some guardians, who have fallen under the control of Oryx, my guess is that Toland is one of them, considering his fascination with the hive.
-
This time they are fallen but PURPLE
-
Ok so all I get from this is that the new enemy type is part of the Illuminati
-
I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned before, but the taken king's logo is *not* Exactly hive. The bottom "V" part extends further and the top, while similar, is graphically different as well. This does make me think that it is either a new race as mentioned, or a higher evolution of the hive. Tl;Dr: the taken logo

Edited by loonigus: 6/9/2015 7:00:58 AMReally hard to say lol. Oryx is a celestial entity or some kind of god without a physical body living somewhere in the dimension from where Hive and the darkness originated. The "Taken" might trully be the actual name of a new race that worships Oryx as their god, but I personally think that those ships are early concept art for Vex ships. What makes me wonder are the lights along the ships that look like windows and I dont think the Vex would need windows lol. So those trully might be ships belonging to a humainod species. Then again what is the planet in the background? That cant be Mars bcoz those ships are clearly in some sort of atmosphere coz of the cluds, but on a second look it almost apears as if those clouds are "around" that planetoid object. Sadly I still think that its an old concept art that got dumped like many other ones. For now atleast in Destiny 1. Ive seen some cool stuff in the Destiny artbook. Like a primitive species that rides on huge frogs lol. PS: Look at this Hive ship! http://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Destiny-Concept-Art-19.jpg Daaamn!

Maybe the races we have now got taken by oryx, and brainwashed into being under his control, there's dead cabal on the moon in that cauldron PVP map. Maybe that area is his "transformation" area. If you look up at A spawn there's hundreds of pods up there, maybe he's been setting up an army while we were PVPing against each other.
-
That's actually the vex ship soo ya sorry to burst your bubble.
-
Would be sick if we get to face a famous corrupted guardian like Toland or Dredgen Yor :D
-
Sorry to ruin the whole thread, but the Taken aren't a new race, they are a new Hive enemy type.
-
That ship is so cool reminds me of pyramid head from silent hill
-
The ships are the Cabal's Exclusion Zone
-
What if the Taken are in fact, some form of twisted basis of the other races?
-
Same enemies, just a new name, as usual
-
But guys, what if we get superblack... I'd buy that for $40
-
So we're gonna fight Silent Hill Pyramid Heads?
-
You know what... that looks like a vex ship to me. The blue light is similar to the light you see before they teleport. They have the same dark clouds that are only around when the vex warp in. before people go off and say that the vex can teleport anywhere, I say this to you. The vex is a multitude of minds acting as one, so those minds need to have a vessel, and they need to be directed. So thise ships could be what controls the vex, and allow them to teleport exactly as they want, and not into a rock, of off the planet. In summary, that is too similar to vex tech.
