Editing Hive Fleet Tiamet (section)

== Ziaphoria's Tower ==

When the Kill Team arrived to the place, they discovered a massive organic towering structure (as in, the size of a continent) on Ziaphoria. Nobody's sure what the hell it's supposed to do, but it's psychic and generating such a powerful Shadow in the Warp that the Kill-Team's [[Librarian]] actually had his head explode from the strain. The resulting screams attracted a massive swarm of Tyranids to the Kill-Team's presence, and its leader just barely had enough time to warn their [[Corvus Blackstar]] about what they discovered before being torn to bloody ribbons.

Whatever this thing is, everyone agrees that if the flesh-tower is important enough for an entire Hive Fleet to be assigned to guard it, then it can't be good for the rest of the galaxy. The current speculation is that it's a beacon meant to attract more Hive Fleets, which could easily spell disaster should it be finished. And all the while, Tiamet keeps sending out tendrils to nearby worlds, gathering more biomass to complete its creation. Other possibilities include the tower being a psychic communications hub, or even the organic equivalent of a [[Blackstone pylon]], both of which will start to impact imperial communication throughout the segmentum. It also may be Tyrannids' equivalent of Astronomicon, now that the real deal is canonically failing.

The [[Deathwatch]] is extremely interested in taking this thing down, and has contacted excommunicated [[Inquisitor]] [[Kryptman]] to find out what it is and how to get rid of it. This will undoubtedly be a difficult task- Hive Fleet Tiamet has evolved to excel at defensive measures, and its bioforms possess a heavily reinforced exoskeleton that lets them shrug off volumes of fire that would kill any other Tyranid creature twice over. The solution is probably going to be Cyclonic Torpedo spam...assuming the Hive Ships don't intercept the exterminatus fleets first.
