'''Niades''' is a world the [[Blood Angels]] [[Strike Cruiser]] [[Sword of Baal]], found itself stranded above after the [[Great Rift]]'s creation. The giant [[Warp Storm]]'s birth hand enveloped the Blood Angels fleet the Sword of Baal was attached to, but only the heavily damaged Strike Cruiser had escaped. Soon after their arrival, however, a high priority transmission from the world reached the Sword of Baal. Due to the loss of so many of the Strike Cruiser's Blood Angels, its [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]], [[Orpheo]], decided to investigate the transmission on his own and descended to Niades. However after he arrived, the Captain was set upon by [[Genestealers]] and the Sword of Baal lost contact with Orpheo. This soon prompted most of the surviving Blood Angels aboard the Strike Cruiser to begin searching Niades for the missing Captain.{{Fn|1}}
