Changes

The only dense concentration of Imperial worlds that was invaded was the [[Ybaric Cluster]]. Located beyond the [[Eastern Fringe]] of the [[Vidar Sector]], they had been isolated by [[Warp Storm]]s for several centuries. When the warp storms ceased, the worlds were found to be devoid of life and Hive Fleet Naga was gone.¹

As Naga assaulted the Ulumeathic League, rumours reached the Ybaric Cluster of an approaching alien menace and a cult known as the [[Cult of Veiled Oblivion]] grew in membership all across the cluster. In 909801.M41 Naga invaded the world of [[Crimsonfall]]. The nearby world of [[Tern]] sent reinforcements including a company of neglected but operational [[Cadia|Cadian]] [[Baneblade]]s. The Imperial defenders rallied behind these powerful tanks, but they were quickly reduced to scrap by a brood of [[Tyrannofex]]es. Further reinforcements were shipped from Tern only to be ambushed enroute by [[Dark Eldar]] [[Raider]]s, who in turn were caught and destroyed in Naga's advance. The coremost world of [[Silax]], which had fallen into anarchy as the Cult of Veiled Oblivion gained prominence, refused to send aid to Crimsonfall. In 701802.M41 Naga devoured Crimsonfall and then continued on to Tern which, having sent many of its forces to Crimsonfall, was easily overcome. In 001808.M41 Naga arrived over Silax. On the planet's surface members of its population, including the planetary governor, revealed their true allegiance to the Cult of Vieled Veiled Oblivion and took arms against the loyal defence forces. Both sides were devoured when Naga descended on the planet.¹

Naga's second tendril was caught by the Idharae fleet on the outer edges of the Eth-aelas system and, finding itself cornered and outgunned, was destroyed. But not before it managed to send several thousand Mycetic Spores raining down on Eth-aelas. Idharae ground forces descend to the planet, determined not to lose another of their worlds, and set about the long task of freeing the world from the Tyranids. Having dealt with the first tendril, Yriel's forces arrived and join joined in scouring the planet. After the last Hive Tyrant is was finally slain at the battle of Sorrowforge Pinnacle, the remaining Tyranids are were left leaderless and easy targets.¹

Naga's presence as a unified force was ended. In all the Eldar lost two [[Maiden World]]s worlds and seven [[Exodite World]]sworlds.¹

However before Naga's full destruction, a lone and wounded bio-ship stumbled across the Malan'tai Craftworld and in its death throes launched its last Mycetic Spores. They go went undetected until they hit the Craftworld itself. A The Eldar struggle to fight back the invading creatures, but a unique vampiric [[Zoanthrope]] goes on to wipe wipes the entire Matan'tai Craftworld of all life, taking the name the [[Doom of Malan'tai]].¹
