In the Destiny franchise, what is the name of Oryx's massive warship?

The story behind the answer

In the Destiny franchise, Oryx’s massive warship is the Dreadnaught. It is both a colossal Hive vessel and a weapon built from Oryx’s throne world, allowing him to project destructive power into normal space.

The Dreadnaught arrives in the Solar System during Destiny: The Taken King, released in 2015. It is positioned near Saturn and becomes a major patrol area filled with Hive forces, Taken enemies, secret chambers, and the Court of Oryx. Guardians eventually board it while pursuing Oryx, the Taken King, who seeks revenge after the death of his son Crota.

A common mix-up is the Leviathan, which belongs to Emperor Calus and is central to Destiny 2’s original raid. The Almighty is a giant Cabal superweapon, while Pyramid ships are associated with the Darkness. The Dreadnaught is especially important because it is not merely transportation: its structure and weapons are extensions of Oryx’s power and throne-world abilities.
