===Campaigns=== While scouring the galaxy for sustenance, the Hive Fleet Nidhoggr has crossed paths with many other races and fought various violent wars. These are some of the most notables: *'''Barath's Fall:''' Being a mineral-rich planet covered in mining structures and filled with a vast array of natural gasses and precious metals, Barath was a paradise for the ever-hungry Nidhoggr fleet and a course so irresistible, its creatures would eventually give their all to consume it, resulting in one of the most devastating display of sheer brutality ever recorded by this fleet. The bountiful resources weren't only sought after by these terrible predators and the forces of the planet were not foreign to raids from bandits and even the occasional chaos attack, so much so that the planet was outfitted with miles of fortifications that housed both the millions of worker and the defending Astra Militarum regiment. From the very fist phases of the invasion, a very little number of meteors were able to strike the surface with most of them being annihilated by anti-air batteries and a line of thermally-charged cannons mounted on major fault lines from which they got their energy. The little forces that managed to land began their assault in the underground mines, where the narrow corridors provided an upper hand on the soldiers. Packs of Magma Corer eventually managed to disable some of the orbital cannons but by that point, the fight had already been taken to the sky, with imperial ships laying siege to the central hive ship shrouded in layers of rock and asteroid fields that were nearly enough to lighten the incoming barrages. With massive losses on the ground and facing annihilation in orbit, a final plan was devised; sacrificing part of its organic compartments to enemy fire, the mother ship quickly redirected the route near the planet's moon, and only when the pursuing imperial vessels were in range, another psychic call was broadcasted. In that instant, the swarms of Magma Corers that had been preventively been seeded in the celestial body for harvesting collectively detonated, shattering the moon like chalk on a board. The large pieces wiped out the enemy fleet and after some moments of silence bombarded the surface of the planet, flattening mountains and overturning the planet itself. Everything except for the best-hidden creatures was wiped out and the only things left were oceans of lava and charred skies. At the cost of a third of the planet's resources and almost half the Nidhoggr's fleet, Barath had fallen, and the Nidhoggr had risen once again from the flames. *'''The Cindering of the Five Yhill:''' TBA *'''The Siege of Meruno:''' While in the process of harnessing the resources of the planet of Meruno and its three moons, the creatures of the Leviathan hive fleet are suddenly attacked by a swarm of biomorphs from the Nidhoggr, determined to feed their flames at all cost. Showers of meteors impact the ground, dispersing the tides of gaunts and shattering hive nodes, while the rocky exoskeleton of the main mothership proves vital in resisting the retaliation of the enemy bioships. The conflict continues for weeks while both challengers try to take the upper hand; the first wave of fiery horrors proves effective at charging through enemy territory but as soon as synaptic link is re-established the resistance becomes much more brutal. At both ends of the conflict, a desperate rush begins to acquire biomass and materials to win the war of attrition, while the main front line shifts with constant motion. At last, having seeded the other planets of the system beforehand, the forces of the Nidhoggr manage to cut off the supply lines of biomass or burn it down before the Leviathan can convert it into additional forces. Slowly, the tide of war moves in the Nidhoggr's favor and after another month of cruel conflict, the last semblances of the enemy fleet are scrubbed away, cleansed in fire. With the gene pool of another Norn Queen acquired, the Molten Empress achieves a wide range of bio-data from previous encounters that it uses to further enhance her forces and even develop newer forms.
