'''Kraken''' was the second major [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]] to invade the [[galaxy]]. It was responsible for the '''Second Tyrannic War''', occurring in 993.[[M41]].
The invasion began 250 years after the last Tyrannic War and the destruction of the hive fleet ''[[Behemoth]]''. An armed presence had been maintained in the galactic southeast, which members of [[Terra|Earth]]'s [[Administratum]] began to question the need for, arguing that Behemoth had been the sum total of the Tyranid race. When worlds along the eastern fringe began to erupt in rebellion, terrorism, riots and sabotage, the same [[adept]]s claimed the people were dissatisfied with living amid an armed camp.Among the first worlds known to be consumed by '''Kraken''' were [[Sotha]], [[Miral]], [[Graia]] and [[Radnar]].{{Fn|7}}
