Ha! Somebody beat me to it. I was on my way here to see if anyone else had caught on that Savathûn was Oryx' (Aurash's) sister, and how that name is appended to many enemies' names (much like the servants of Crota and Oryx in D1) on Titan and Io - glad I'm not the only one who remembers the Books of Sorrow. I noticed the difference in the Hive (both creature models and weapons), as well as the Taken (many Majors now have beasty-looking horns), just assumed it was "new game flash" but if Savathûn is controlling two armies that would explain the difference. Also interesting that the Hive and Taken occupy different planets, with no overlap (so far), and the Hive and Vex (the two "supernatural" enemies) have never clashed. It's worth noting that Io is the also the first time we've seen Taken that aren't "sourced" from native enemies - there are no Hive on Io, but there are tons of Hive Taken. As of D2, we've had every other combination of conflicts: Fallen-Hive: Earth (D1), Moon (D1), Titan (D2) Fallen-Vex: Venus (D1), Nessus (D2) Fallen-Cabal: Mars (D1/HoW), Earth (D2) [Both appear on Nessus in D2, but not in direct conflict] Hive-Fallen: Earth (D1), Moon (D1), Titan (D2) Hive-Vex: {none} Hive-Cabal: Dreadnaught (D1) Vex-Fallen: Venus (D1), Nessus (D2) Vex-Hive: {none} Vex-Cabal: Mars (D1), Nessus (D2), Io (D2) Cabal-Fallen: Mars (D1/HoW), Earth (D2) [Both appear on Nessus in D2, but not in direct conflict] Cabal-Hive: Dreadnaught (D1) Cabal-Vex: Mars (D1), Nessus (D2), Io (D2) Destiny 3 - Wrath of Xivu Arath confirmed.

  • The hive and vex actually fought in Oryx's origin story if you look it up. The Vex attacked Oryx's ascendent realm actually, when Crota was tricked to create an opening in the ascendent realm for the Vex to enter. In fact, one of the reasons Crota is in our solar system is because Oryx threw him into the Vex conflux to die. The threat of the Vex was the reason he built the dreadnaught in the first place.
