==History==

The [[Imperium]] first encountered the Hrud during the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|8a}} The earliest Imperial reports labeled them as the 'nocturnal warriors of Hrud', however [[Xenologist]] [[Janus Draik]] describes the Imperial records as being unclear on whether Hrud was intended as the name of their homeworld or the name of their species.{{Fn|27}}

Numerous Hrud infestations are known to have plagued the region of the [[Maelstrom]] alongside more than twenty [[Ork Empire|Ork empires]] and countless human [[pirate]] strongholds.{{Fn|5b}}

A notable engagement with the Hrud came in '''783.M41''' during the '''Infestation of [[Ursula Spinal]]'''. The agri-world became subject to a migration. It quickly became infested with its plantations of hydro-crops turning to dust and its defenders aging fifty years over the span of a few months due to the Hrud's innate entropic fields. To combat the threat, six regiments of [[Valhallan Ice Warriors]] made planetfall in order to purge the colony from the infestation. However, a full half of the regiments suffered premature aging due to contact with the Hrud and were declared unfit for further duty.{{Fn|7}}

In '''844.M41'''{{Fn|20}}, the [[Cinchare Hrud Infestation]] led to engagements with the [[Cadian 39th (Traitor Guard)|39th Cadian]] of the [[Imperial Guard]] on [[Cinchare]] {{Fn|9a}} This conflict saw the Hrud engage the 1st Company of the [[Dark Hands]] Chapter.{{Fn|12}}
