The Resurgence of Hive Fleet Gorgon
In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, a terrifying force has re-emerged to threaten the fragile balance of power in the galaxy. Hive Fleet Gorgon, once thought to be destroyed, has begun to reassert its dominance, bringing terror and destruction to the worlds of the Imperium and the Tau Empire.
A History of Devastation
Gorgon’s invasion of the Tau Empire in 899.M41 was initially believed to be a splinter fleet of the larger Hive Fleet Behemoth. However, as the Tyranids advanced deeper into Tau territory, it became clear that Gorgon was a distinct and formidable force. The Tau, with their advanced technology and flexible tactics, were initially able to hold back the Tyranid tide. But Gorgon’s ability to rapidly adapt and evolve its bioforms allowed it to eventually overwhelm the Tau defenses.
The Battle for Sha’draig
The Sha’draig colony was one of the first to fall to Gorgon’s onslaught. Despite valiant efforts by the Tau defenders, the Tyranids were able to break through the outer defense lines and swarm the planet’s surface. The Tau were forced to evacuate the planet, but not before Shas’el Vorcah launched a series of suicidal missions to disrupt the Tyranid synapse web.
The Imperium Intervenes
As Gorgon continued its rampage, the Imperium of Man took notice. A fleet of Imperial warships, led by Castellan Crask, emerged from the Warp and besieged the planet Ke’lshan Prime. However, the Imperium’s forces soon found themselves facing a common enemy, as Gorgon descended upon the planet. In the ensuing battle, the Imperium and the Tau formed an uneasy alliance, working together to destroy the Tyranid threat.
A New Threat Emerges
But Gorgon was not defeated. A small fragment of the hive fleet survived, and has since begun to rebuild and adapt. The Tyranids have infested several Imperial agri-worlds, using their poisonous spores to spread disease and destruction. The Imperium, unaware of the true nature of the threat, has been slow to respond, leaving the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance.
The Future of the Galaxy
As Hive Fleet Gorgon continues to grow in strength, the galaxy teeters on the brink of chaos. The Imperium and the Tau must put aside their differences and work together to defeat the Tyranid threat, or risk being consumed by the very horror they seek to destroy. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, and only time will tell if the combined forces of humanity and the Tau can stop the resurgence of Hive Fleet Gorgon.
