Editing Megarachnids (section)

==History==
It is believed that, in the distant past, the Megarachnids had some sort of limited galactic empire, but after a war with the human [[Interex]], they were beaten quite badly, and were forced to give up their means of space transport, as well as being contained on their home planet of Murder. The Interex, being basically 40k-Star Trek before Horus had his [[Horus Heresy|little tantrum]], could have eradicated the species there and then, but they designed a series of measures to make sure Murder became [[noblebright|a safe place for their defeated foe to live in]], as well as to avoid them getting out. That way, if anything goes wrong and no one is left who can stop them, the freaks could wipe out all life. But hey, at least the Interex can feel good about themselves for not <s>saving everyone</s> murdering the poor harmless spider monsters. One of the measures was a series of warning signals surrounding the planet, which were promptly ignored by the Imperium of Man once they arrived there. After a six-months war, the Megarachnids were in some serious trouble, being borderline extinct and all, but the Interex managed to calm down the Astartes just enough to start diplomatic means to solve the problem. After this, the Horus Heresy happened, so we can safely assume they got [[exterminatus]]-ed during the crossfire.
