So I know there have been kind of similar posts like this in the past, but perhaps not down these lines of thought. So I thought I might as well go on a bit of a rant and jot down some ideas I've been thinking about...
Since Oryx has most likely taken countless races in the past why do we only ever see the 4 races we know of?...
[b]AND[/b] that could be an opportunity/Idea of how to bring in new races... What if at some point in the future we (Or the Traveler) had the ability to reverse a taken entity...
I reckon it could be an awesome opening mission for a DLC or D3.
So we find out due to some epic cinematic at the beginning, we can now transform taken back to their original state & with the help of Eris Morn (Yup she's back from her cave) we are guided to a Hive homeworld/dreadnaught/throne-world where various forms of taken are lying in wait (Perhaps a new class ability Or "A light bomb" - An orb of pure light gifted by the Traveler which detonates transforming all Taken in the vicinity - Just some ideas) and the mission starts with us touching down behind enemy lines and we have to fight through waves of Taken and Hive to reach some sort of core or energy source which will boost the blast radius of this "Light Bomb"...
Cue another epic cinematic - Once the light starts to fade from our screens we see the waves of now reversed taken starting to wake up off the floor - Made up of various races - Fallen, Cabal, Hive, Vex and Perhaps a new unseen race (Ammonites, the Ecumene, the Dakaua, the Harmony, the Qugu, the Taishibethi & perhaps even Proto-Hive - Could all be possibilities).
As the cinematic continues and these confused beings start to come around we see all the Vex teleport instantly... The Hive I am unsure about - Perhaps they are actually transformed back to their Proto-Hive form and remain OR as they are so corrupt by the darkness even after being touched by pure light they are still too far gone and once they come around they run for the shadows...
The races remaining, staggering around in a confused state are not dark/ or evil at their core so they almost have their memory wiped and are in a state of bliss.
This new conglomerate of different races will be know as "The Enlightened" and cut all ties with their previous life's & backgrounds before they were taken as they have no memory of them.
So now we have a refugee settlement situation on our hands, some are given residence in the last city/or social spaces as advocates or representatives but the majority are settled on a habitable planet.
Everything seems good, new races, new alliances, happy days!...
[i]Cue the pyramid ships...[/i]

Forgot to mention, I doubt we will see any new races till D3, so don't think anything like this would happen for quite some time! But you never know I guess...
