== Confirmed sightings of Hive Fleet Ouroboris ==

The first "modern" sighting of Hive Fleet Ouroboris was in M41, when it attacked the Thracian Sector. Named after the legends of the "Legion of Ouroboris" (furthering increasing the confusion between the old legends and the current threat), several campaigns have been launched against this alien threat. Ouroboris favours massive aerial swarms of Gargoyles and other flying bioforms, in a manner alarmingly similar to its namesake. Especially worrying is that most chemical anti-Tyranid weaponry doesn't seem to faze them in the slightest. Also, some experts have discovered that the DNA of the fleet contains older models of creatures and genetic structures in comparison to other more recent Hive Fleets, which similarly suggests that the Tyranids may indeed have been in the galaxy longer than anyone believed. Currently a chapter of [[Primaris Marines|Primaris]] [[Space Marines]], the [[Silver Drakes]], is keeping this threat in check although [[Lamenters|this Astartes chapter is currently undermanned and with very few reinforcements]], so the war is either going to last a very long time, or not long at all.

On a meta narrative note if Hive Fleet Ouroboris was sent back in time and eventually became the Legion of Ouroboris then Game Workshop basically gave that twist away with the name. An Ouroboris is a snake that eats it's own tail, no beginning, no end and it is a symbol of infinity, of endlessness. So if Hive Fleet Ouroboris ended up in a stable time loop, then it's name would be perfect for it's ultimate fate.
