Hrud
,no edit summary
During [[M41]], the [[Cinchare Hrud Infestation]] led to engagements with the 39th [[Cadian]] ''"Xenobane"'' regiment of the [[Imperial Guard]] on [[Cinchare]].<sup>13-p31</sup> This conflict saw the Hrud engage the 1st Company of the [[Dark Hands]] Chapter.<sup>17-p30</sup> A notable engagement with the Hrud came in 783.M41 during the '''Infestation of Ursula Spinal''' where an agri-world became subject to a migration. It quickly became infested with its plantations of hydro-crops turning to dust and its defenders aging fifty years over the span of a few months due to the Hrud's innate entropic fields. To combat the threat, six regiments of [[Valhallan Ice Warriors]] make planetfall in order to purge the colony from the infestation. However, a full half of the regiments suffer from premature aging due to contact with the Hrud and are declared unfit for further duty.<sup>10-p54</sup> Between 938-5.M41, Commander [[Ursarkar E. Creed]] is known to had fought throughout a Hrud migration.<sup>13-p50</sup> At some point, Hrud infested the Delphic mines of [[Mordant Prime]] leading to the conflict known as the [[The Plague of Delphic]] where the 303rd [[Mordant Acid Dogs]] engaged the aliens and managed to eliminate them but they suffered heavy losses in the process.<sup>18</sup>
In 0.257.790.M41, a Hrud managed to infest the [[Emperor Class Battleship]] ''Paternus Gloriem'' where indentured crewman [[Selebor Mathias]] managed to knock it unconscious whereupon he was interrogated by the Inquisition with the specimen taken for study.<sup>1-p79</sup> [[Farseer]] [[Eldrad Ulthran]] is known to had have participated in the prevention of a Hrud infestation of [[Craftworld]] [[Saim-Hann]] which would have reduced the proud vessel to rotten mulch.<sup>16-p50</sup> The [[Ordo Xenos]] [[Inquisitor]] [[Heylnna Valeria]] is known to had have treated with [[Eldar]], Ulumeathi, Draxians, Hrud and scores of other xenos species in order to expand humanity's stores of knowledge.<sup>15-p47</sup>
