The Queen of the Reef, Queen’s Emissary, along with the Queen’s brother, are leaders of the Reef. Like Xûr, Agent of the Nine, the Queen’s Emissary is a mysterious vendor. Petra Venj is her name, and is an operative of the Queen of the Reef, with the look of an assassin. Though she has long made the Tower her home, it is no secret where her allegiance lies. Queen’s Wrath is the faction that the Queen/Emissary represent.
The Queen desires the elimination of specific targets across the solar system, and you’ll be rewarded for doing so. Petra will sell us “Queen’s Wrath” styled items, some of which you can view here.
The House of Wolves DLC will expand on the story of the Fallen that currently protect her and their alliance. Do they fear her? despise her? The Speaker gives us some insight by warning, “she is a fool to think she can control them.” An interesting video by Killworthy Gaming on the subject:

With her bounties come new gear! As you can see below, she also has bounties for us to kill new enemies from new missions, but these likely will be unavailable until the DLC. This article will be updated as new information is released. Talk about all this and more at our community forums.

It seems the House of Wolves have betrayed the Queen, and are attempting to raise a new Kell to lead them.
6 new story missions (which won’t be available until the DLC is released) and new gear from the Queen’s Emissary to buy! The “Target” names for HoW obviously aren’t final.
There’s also Legendary gear which you can view below, though most of this gear will be rewards for doing missions and not bought from the Emissary. Once you complete a bounty, you will have the option to go on a Kill Order mission which will earn you a Legendary after it’s been completed.

This is the symbol for the Queen’s crown – The Crown of the Sovereign, which can be seen on some of the armor.
[divider]Two more Strikes are coming with the DLC’s as well, The Hypogeum and The Jovian Complex. To see the rest of what’s coming in the expansions (Exotics, Crucible maps, & more) check out this article.
