It became obvious that Hive Thetus was becoming a staging ground for a dreaded [[Tyranid]] vanguard force. The Xenos influence had to be removed and the Hive had to be cleansed. The [[Black Templars]] called to the challenge of returning the [[Emperor]]'s Light to Hive Thetus with righteous zeal. The Broodlord and its followers hid themselves deep within the Hive's blackened depths. It would take some considerable time and effort to removed remove them. The labyrinth of tunnels, accessways, ducts, and forgotten cities proved to be a deadly and unique battlefield. It was here that the Black Templars fought terrifying battles in cramped corridors against the Tyranid menace. Slowly and at great cost, each sector was cleared from the bottom up. Hive Thetus, and the entire world of Nevaria II with it, was made relatively safe thanks to the efforts of the Black Templars.{{Fn|1}}
