==Contacts with the Imperium==

It is widely believed between the Ordo Xenos that Humanity's first contact with the Fra'al goes back to the time of the [[Dark Age of Technology]] ''[[Alternity|(about a year before WotC bought TSR, to be precise)]]'', though more details on that are beyond scarce. The first recorded contacts with the Imperium were during the [[Great Crusade]]. Apparently, the [[Space Marines|Astartes Legions]] fought many Fra'al outposts and spaceships. At the very least we know that the [[Salamanders]], [[White Scars]], [[Word Bearers]], [[Death Guard]], [[Night Lords]] and [[Alpha Legion]] fought them during the Imperium's expansion. We even know that the Fra'al were powerful enough to cause frequent casualties for the Astartes, with many of those wounded being entombed in [[Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]]. An interesting detail implying their weapons often failed to kill Space Marines, but were strong enough to nearly do so with noteworthy consistency. Something that is normally an extremely rare occurrence due to Space Marines being so durable that anything that doesn't outright kill them is almost always something they will recover from.

Post-Heresy, Mankind has rarely had contact with them, though they can frequently be heard of as piratical raiders, attacking civilian vessels and lightly-protected military vessels for whatever resources they could find. They can also be found as merchants, doing business with [[Rogue Traders]], selling their weird alien tech and [[troll|whatever valuable resource they managed to steal on a previous raid]]. This trade is heavily watched over by the [[Inquisition]] as it's done inside the borders of the Imperium.
