History: copy editing
Genestealers were the first Tyranid species to be encountered by the [[Imperium]]. But before the Imperium had knowledge of the Tyranids as a species, they believed Genestealers were a separate species indigenous to the moons of [[Ymgarl]] which spread to other planets by infiltrating passing cargo ships and derelict [[Space Hulk]]s.{{Fn|1a}} It is believed Genestealers were introduced to the moons of Ymgarl in [[M35]] from Hive Fleet [[Tiamet]] in the [[Tiamet System]], carried inside the Imperial vessels that were sent to destroy the system.{{Fn|2a}}
When the [[Battle of for Macragge]] with Hive Fleet [[Behemoth]] took place, [[Magos|Technomagi]] spent years classifying the left-behind bodies, including Genestealers used as Tyranid shock troops. Further investigation confirmed that all Genestealers were infact in fact Tyranids.{{Fn|1a}}
The truth is that infiltrating Genestealers have had been working their way into the galaxy for thousands of years prior to the invasion of the Hive Fleets proper.{{Fn|3}}
