Niades is a world the Blood Angels Strike Cruiser Sword of Baal, found itself stranded above after the Great Rift's creation.[1]
The giant Warp Storm's birth hand enveloped the Blood Angels fleet the Sword of Baal was attached to, but only the heavily damaged Strike Cruiser had escaped. Soon after their arrival, however, a high priority transmission from the world reached the Sword of Baal. Due to the loss of so many of the Strike Cruiser's Blood Angels, its Captain, Orpheo, decided to investigate the transmission on his own and descended to Niades. However after he arrived, the Captain was set upon by Genestealers and the Sword of Baal lost contact with Orpheo. This soon prompted most of the surviving Blood Angels aboard the Strike Cruiser to begin searching Niades for the missing Captain. Captain Orpheo is recovered and interred into a Blood Angel Dreadnought. [1]
Dark Eldar ships attack the Sword of Baal, causing critical damage, but are eventually blown up by a stratagem. Magos Dominus Castia-Theta-9 joins the Blood Angels in their escape, holding a priceless STC data cube she located on Niades. A large Tyranid Fleet arrives in the system, attracted by the Genestealers. Sword of Baal escapes while the Blood Angel Battleship is destroyed. [2]
Notes
Niades is featured in the Angels of Death (Animated Series).[1]
