Shukra was a Desert World that lay in the path of a splinter of Hive Fleet Ouroboris; the Imperium dispatched the Cadian 14th Swarm Crushers regiment to save the world.[1]

The regiment had earned the name Swarm Crushers due to their storied exploits during the Second Tyrannic War and their morale was high as they prepared to face the splinter fleet. However, when Ouroboris finally invaded, the Swarm Crushers were dismayed to see their well-honed Tyranid killing tactics had no effect on the splinter fleet's primitive swarms. Though they are stunned by the ineffectiveness of their defense, the Cadian 14th nevertheless sold their lives dearly before they were killed and Shukra was soon consumed by the Tyranids.[1]
