Indravari War

The Indravari War was an Imperial campaign conducted by the Storm Zealots Space Marine Chapter to protect the Indravari System against the invading Tyranids of Hive Fleet Gehenna.

History
In the beginning of 999.M41, a massive Tyranid invasion codified Hive Fleet Gehenna threatened the Indravari System. In honour of the alliance between the Storm Zealots, Space Naga and Thousand Blades, the Storm Zealots entire 2nd, 4th and 9th Companies were sent to Indravari I to help deal with the Tyranid Swarms. Reinforcement from the Thousand Blades came thereafter, four years into the conflict. Under Captain and Master of the Fleet Skrzetuski of the 4th Company, the Thousand Blades with their Strike Cruisers and Battle-Barges fought the Tyranid Hive fleet in space.

Through the psychic prognostications of Chief Librarian Ramdev and Librarian Alexander did the Space Marines learn the existence of the Hive Tyrants, a landed Norn Queen, and two gigantic Hierophants within the caverns of Indravari II, within the southern mountains of Kalas. The mission was only successful through the valiant sacrifice of Chief Librarian Ramdev and Captain Laksmana of the 8th Company. After the death of both the Norn Queen and the Hive Tyrant, the remaining tyranid swarm were paralysed through inaction and lay about lifelessly. The Hive Fleet was wholly destroyed and the husks of their bioships floated lifelessly in space. Many tyranid bio forms continued to rot as they slowly died on the planet's surface. The Indravari System had been saved.
