==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
*{{Endn|Note 1}}: [[Space Hulk: Tactics]] doesn't specify when the story exactly happens, it just says "closing years of the M41". Other sources can give us more information: [[Karlaen]] had been First Captain for two centuries in 999.M41, this means [[Ubaldo]] could have been First Captain until 799.M41. The main characters in the campaign already know of the [[Tyranids]]. This means the [[First Tyrannic War]] has already happened and the story is set between 742.M41 and 799.M41.
