Hive Fleet Charon

Hive Fleet Charon is a Tyranid Hive Fleet, seen in a wide variety of Narrative Campaigns. It is a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Kraken.

History
Charon was first formed after the Battle of Iyanden, when Hive Fleet Kraken suffered large losses. Travelling off, this splinter fleet fled into deep space.

After travelling for some time, Charon was attracted to the Genestealer beacons on Fayoom. After a long and grueling battle in which the fleet lost several hive ships, they were able to consume Fayoom, but at a net lost. For some time, they only sought out low-biomass planets as they sought to rebuild. While they stayed safe, they only slowly gained biomass.

Quite unexpectedly, they detected numerous nutrient-rich worlds in a nearby system, and immediately set out to travel there. But while on the way, an unexpected warp storm hit them, tearing through half the fleet, while the other half remained intact, the rest was scattered everywhere. One hive ship ended up on Ixia, and the remaining half was able to follow it to that planet.
