Jollov
A vanguard tendril of Moloch threated to consume the Agri-World of Jollov in 931.M41 (though this date is inconsistent with the date of Moloch invading the galaxy given in other sources) just as Techno Magus Stannum Vir discovered fragments of an STC on the planet. The world's spaceport is defended by elements of Catachan, Mordian, Kanak, Molov and Agathon regiments in order to buy enough time for the Adeptus Mechanicus to flee with the STC.3: p.23
Splinter Fleet
A splinter fleet of Moloch was stopped from consuming a Hive city on Karak Prime by the veteran 9th Vostroyan Old Irascibles. For eighteen months a Tyranid swarm that stretched from the base of the city walls to the distant horizon was held back by the Vostroyans. Realising they were doomed if they ran out of ammunition, the Vostroyans opened the city's gates and drew the horde inside. When the bulk of the Tyranids had entered the city, the Vostroyans detonated the hive's nucleonic stack and incinerated the hive, along with all its defenders and an estimated eighty-five percent of the Tyranid swarm. As the city entered widwinter, the surviving Tyranids starved to death and the splinter fleet was destroyed.3: p.18
