The '''Tyrannic Wars''' are a series of conflicts fought primarily by the [[Imperium]] on one side and one or more [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]]s on the other, in late [[M41]]:
*The '''First Tyrannic War''' (745 M41): The Imperium makes first contact with the Tyranid race when [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]] invades the [[Eastern Fringe]] and annihilates planet[[Tyran]]; Behemoth is defeated, though at great cost, by the [[Ultramarines]] at the [[Battle for Macragge]].
*The '''Second Tyrannic War''' (990-993 M41): Hive Fleet [[Kraken]] invades and is, again, narrowly defeated.
*The '''Third Tyrannic War''' (997-ongoing): Hive Fleet [[Leviathan]], the largest Tyranid force yet, invades.
