Editing Hive Fleet Tiamet (section)

== Behaviour of Tiamet ==

Regular Tyranids follow a nomadic lifestyle, travelling though the galaxy and devouring whatever planet or biomass source they can find, usually following the psychic beacons activated by the multiple genestealer cults spread throughout the galaxy, leaving wherever they go bereft of life. Hive Fleet Tiamet follows a radically different lifestyle. For some reason, these Tyranids permanently inhabit the Tiamet system and its surrounding planets and don't fully strip them of biomass. And they guard the place very zealously, too. Every time a merchant or an exploration fleet gets close to the system, it gets immediately swarmed by the nids, who drag it off to their main stronghold on the world of Ziaphora. The genestealer cults serving them act similarly, with their leaders instructing their cults to hijack nearby ships so they can travel to a "paradise planet" within the system.

Eventually, so many ships were lost in the region that a [[Kill Team]] was sent to explore the area to figure out what had been going on over there.
