Grandmaster Sentinel Avian 300 years ago our second, third, and sixth chapter were reduced greatly from a crusade in the expanse. On one world we found a race of xenos that that would later be classified to be almost identical to the tyranids seen at the Battle of Marrage. We thought they were beasts, since we had not fought tyranids in great strength before. Then they launched a boarding action with some type of living... thing, A bio vessel in later research, on our battle barge. We had to make a emergency landing and fight for 2 weeks in the hell hole of a planet. Back to back we fought through the death world, using flamers, and when that ran out, our swords to cut through the waves that came. This would be our first contact with the Tyranids. We called in more reinforcments until most of our chapter was fighting. We did a tatical withdrawl and virus bombed the planet. We thought the threat was over. Rumors come now that a planet has seen the same hive fleet in orbit. This is the biggest reason, that we are going to there. I am also with great thought, bringing in our honorable Dreadnoughts. Two more companies then previously stated are being deployed. We can't let them break out of the Expanse. Emperor watch over us all.
