==History==
===Early History===
Malan'tai suffered grievously at the hands of [[Ork]] raiders in its early years, and the Craftworld was forced to become into nothing less than a fortress to counter this threat. They eventually allied with [[Iyanden]] and [[Idharae]].{{Fn|33a}}
===Hive Fleet Naga===
After N'Kari was defeated, the majority of the Grey Knight strike force departed back to [[Titan]] with the bodies of their fallen. However, a score of Purifiers remained behind on Malan'tai, in order to guard the remaining spirit stones until another Craftworld could be contacted to retrieve them.{{Fn|2}}
===Destruction===
In 994.[[M41]], Iyanden sent an expedition to the ruins of Malan'tai to recover from its ruins anything which may be of use to undo the damage caused by hive fleet Kraken. Alas, the craftwold's ruins had been overrun by Orks who had destroyed or stolen anything of value. After dispatching the orks, Iyanden's strike force set Malan'tai on a new course towards the nearest sun, where it was presumably destroyed.{{Fn|3b}}
== Canon Conflicts ==
According to [[Codex: Tyranids (5th Edition)]], the destruction of [[Malan'tai]] took place circa 808 or 812.[[M41]]{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}; while in [[Codex: Grey Knights (5th Edition)]], the Grey Knights encounter the ruin of Malan'tai in the aftermath of its destruction, in 800.M41.{{Fn|2}}
