Zapherion

History

When Granica IV was invaded by a splinter of Hive Fleet Leviathan,[1a] Zapherion led a Kill-Team to the Imperial world's aid. They were delivered there by the Deathwatch Strike Cruiser Excrutio[1b] and Zapherion's Kill Team then took part in the defense of the laboratory of Lord Inquisitor Kluctmier. Kluctmier was nearly finished with a virus that would kill the Hive Fleet, when a large force of Tyranids attacked his laboratory.[1a] In the massacre that followed, the Lord Inquisitor and most of the forces defending him were killed, except for Zapherion and two other members of his Kill-Team. Just as the Tyranids were about overrun the survivors, however, the crew of the Excrutio teleported the Kill-Team to the safety of the Strike Cruiser.[1b]
