When it was invaded by [[Hive Fleet Kraken]], an extensive system of [[Novastorm]] space stations around Devlan held back the [[Tyranid]]s long enough for rescue freighters carrying millions of citizens to escape. A company of the [[Lamenters]] was present to hold back the attack of [[Tyranid Warrior]]s until the last ship was loaded. The Lamenters found themselves surrounded and were finally overrun.{{Fn|1a}}
The [[Red Terror]], a [[Ravener]] with a carapace the colour of blood, caused terror amongst the defenders of Devlan for twenty days.{{Fn|1b}} What became of the creature is unknown, though one ship fleeing from Devlan made an automated landing at [[Adri's Hope]] ominously dark and silent. The ship was investigated by the planet's inhabitants and found to be a blood-drenched abattoir. A Tyranid creature was suspected to have gotten aboard, though nothing was found within the ship. Three weeks later, Adri's Hope itself had also become a blood-soaked ruin. It is remained unclear though if this beast of Devlan Adri's Hope is the Red Terror.{{Fn|11a}}
