'''Hive Fleet Grendyllus''' is a newly discovered colossal tendril of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]], that invaded [[Segmentum Pacificus]] alongside [[Nautilon]] and [[Promethor]], which caused the [[Fourth Tyrannic War]] to begin.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Unlike [[Nautilon]] and [[Promethor]], though, Grendyllus did not appear until sometime after the [[Imperium]] had begun fighting the tendrils. By using its [[Solblade]] fleets, the Imperium had managed to stymie the eastward advancement of Nautilon and Promethor, which had both been moving in a parallel course towards [[Segmentum Solar]]. This was when Grendyllus first appeared by spearing up through the galactic plane and then attacking well behind the lines of the Solblades' advance. Before the Imperium could be made aware of this by distress cries, however, Grendyllus' [[Shadow in the Warp]] billowed thick and dark before it and smothered them completely. This allowed the tendril to spread uncheck for a time, as the Imperium confused any later requests for aid or warnings it received, as being the result of Nautilon or Promethor's attacks. As a result, Grendyllus was able to freely devour the [[Motzarch Cluster]], [[Rendhor Belt]], [[Stather's Reach]] and the [[Leagues of Votann]]'s [[Unnhârt Stars]] enclaves, without its presence being discovered.
This finally ended, after Grendyllus' invaded the outer [[System]]s of the [[Bastior Sub-sector]], where it attacked several patrolling task forces of the [[Indomitus Crusade]]'s [[Battle Group Faustus (Fleet Sextus)|Battle Group Faustus]]. A handful of the task forces' warships managed to escape the tendril's grasp and brought word of its existence to their [[Groupmaster]], [[Tysen Yacobe]]. He ensured this was known across the [[Sub-sector]] and as news spread, the new tendril was named '''Grendyllus'''. [[Imperial]] preparations then began, when it was discovered that the tendril was moving towards Bastior's important [[Anchor World]], [[Sanctum]].{{Fn|1}}
