Editing Hive Fleet Kraken (section)

== Foreboding of a horror ==

Kraken arrived two and a half centuries after the defeat of [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]], when most people except the [[Inquisition]] (who are just too paranoid to let their guard down) had been lulled into a false sense of relief that at least the bugs were dead. How foolish that now seems; thank the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] the Inquisition were too suspicious to be fooled as well.

After some intense investigating, they discovered there was strange activity coming from the south east corner of the galaxy, a spate of rebellions and the like which caused great unrest; rebellion is nothing new in the Imperium but these people were doing it more regularly than most. Matters came to a head when Ichar IV, a vital hive-world in the galactic south, flared up into revolt and it was discovered that the cause was not chaotic in nature but xenoic. Tyranid [[genestealer]]s led by a [[broodlord]], having tainted countless human slaves, formed a psychic beacon, shining out into the dark regions beyond the galaxy. A [[Space Marines|space marine]] [[terminator]] strike force attacked, but it was too late, and the death scream of the broodlord mixed with a signal that called out to its masters. From the depths of space, Hive Fleet Kraken sped towards the Imperium.
