The '''Noctal''' are a spindly insectoid [[List of Sentient Species|species]], that conquered the [[Imperium]] world [[Mearopyis]] and enslaved its population.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The Noctal have controlled the world for several thousands of thousand years, until the [[Imperium]] returned in late [[M41]]. A large [[Imperial Navy]] fleet and three-quarters of a million [[Astra Militarum]] [[Guardsmen]] are now attempting to reclaim [[Mearopyis]] from the their dominance. The species were was caught off guard by the invasion, and while they have superior numbers, no unified resistance has been brought to bear against the Imperium. However, the Noctal are fighting back with their '''Superdestroyer''' warships and their dart-shaped fighters. While the Noctal's fighters are swift and agile, able to outmaneuver their Imperial counterparts, they are outnumbered and incapable of orbital flight, and are outnumbered. This has allowed the Imperial Navy's [[Thunderbolts]] and their compliment of the [[Marauder Bomber]] to safely bomb and fire upon the Noctal's forces on Mearopyis. The Navy’s assets are focused on taking out targets that block the path of the Astra Militarium, who are charged with seizing the Noctal's capital on the planet. When the capital falls, the Imperials believe the world will be theirs once again.{{Fn|1}}
