Editing Hive Fleet Jormungandr (section)

== Countermeasures against Jormungandr ==

After two massive tyranid invasions, the Imperium knew very well not to fuck around with them. However, at first the Imperium found themselves at the end of defeat after defeat. The loss of the forge world Megyre was specially telling, with the loss of many titans and all of the arcane weaponry stored there. The tides of war began to change when [[Commander Kubrik Chenkov|Commander Chenkov]] destroyed the vanguard of the Hive Fleet, stopping it from advancing further into Imperial space. Multiple astartes chapters were dedicated to Jormungandr's destruction, including the [[Blood Angels]] and the [[Crimson Castellans]].

The decisive blow to Jormungandr was the Battle of Black Nebula, where the Imperial Navy managed to destroy and splinter most of the Hive Fleet. Admiral Vortigern Hanroth's fleet was able to slowly but surely break the Hive Ships, thanks to space marine boarding actions and a massive amount of firepower, but not before losing 3/4 of his fleet.
