Editing Hive Fleet Naga (section)

== Naga vs the Eldar forces ==

When Hive Fleet Naga headed towards the Exodite World of Halathel in 808.M41, Craftworld Malan'tai sent their fleet (along with other Eldar forces), to intercept and drive back the Tyranids before they could consume the planet. Naga responded by dividing itself into two different splinter fleets, one on course to Halathel, and the other one to the maiden world Eth-aelas. The first tendril managed to beat the Malan'thai fleet and reach the world, whose population organized a futile last stand to defend their worldspirit shrine, failing to do so. The planet became overrun, but the remaining Malan'thai vessels managed to destroy the bio-tyranid ships from orbit. The splinter fleet was destroyed, but the planet was lost. The Eldar were luckier fighting the second splinter fleet, destroying it completely and launching a successful but long campaign of biopurge in the area.
