Hive Fleet Eumenides is a Tyranid Hive Fleet.[1] It was named by the peoples of Verdrun IX seeing them as mighty gods. Eumenides was spotted having its invasive tendrils on Agrellan against the occupying Tau forces sometime during M41.[4]
History
The hive fleet was originally encountered by the primitives on Verdrun IX[4] before devouring them and all other biomass on it.[5]
Sometime in the M41, it battled Hunter Cadres of the T'au Empire that were led by Commander Shadowsun.[4]

The Devourers are an elite Kill Team Unit, that Eumenides dispatches to worlds in order to conduct terror raids and assassination missions, before the Hive Fleet launches a full scale invasion.[2]
