Konras Dray is an Imperial Navy Fleet Commander in Battlefleet Ultima and led the 455th Battlegroup Ultima in the War for Taros.[1a]

Biography

He first rose to the notice of Battlefleet Ultima's upper echelons when the Imperium fought to save the Hydros Sector from a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. As the war against the Tyranids continued, Dray was elevated to the command of the Lunar Class Cruiser Imperial Truth after its previous Captain was killed. Dray later turned the tide of battle around Siglion IX, after he crippled a Hive Ship by ramming the Imperial Truth into it.[1a]

As a reward for his service, Dray was given his own command, and eventually, leadership of the 455th Battlegroup Ultima as the Imperium prepared for the Second Agrellan Campaign. However, Dray was not to take part in it and was instead charged with reclaiming Taros from the T'au Empire. When the Battlegroup emerged from the Warp, though, they discovered that several years had passed and the Second Agrellan Campaign had ended long ago. Nevertheless, Dray ordered the Battlegroup to attack Taros and hoped their sudden attack would overwhelm the T'au.[1a] Despite taking heavy causalities from the Tau and Taros Gue'vesa, led by Commander V'ors L'ar[1b], the Battlegroup succeeded and reclaimed the world for the Imperium.[1c]
