The Chrobdyr Ferrophagites are an intelligent alien species that are known to be hostile. As a result of the convulsions in the Warp brought to the galactic core by the birth of the Great Rift in the Era Indomitus that destroyed their home star system, the Chrobdyr Ferrophagites launched attacks into Leagues of Votann space.
History[]
The greatest recorded upheaval to the Leagues of Votann's home space in the galactic core came with the emergence of the Great Rift, and the eruption of multiple Warp storms across the core as a result. Warp storms designated by the Leagues Örgvayr, Töroll, Öggh, Cyklöp and other distorted maelstroms swallowed star systems, consumed Kindreds, sundered age-old trade routes and stable Warp currents, and left many leagues either suddenly embattled or broken into Warp-riven territorial fragments.
As the shock waves of the Warp storms rolled outward, worse was to follow. Long-stable celestial phenomena convulsed and mutated, with pulsars becoming betentacled predatory horrors, grav-reefs inverting and black holes sprouting dark matter fangs as they expanded ravenously. Hostile alien races -- such as the insidious Septeryx, the Chrobdyr Ferrophagites and the ominous Cult of Ohn -- were driven onto the warpath as their own home star systems were consumed. Some Warp storms -- Örgvayr and Gëirokh worst amongst them -- vomited hordes of Chaos-worshipping invaders and Daemonic horrors, and one Ork WAAAGH! after another erupted from the fringes of the storms.
