Operation: Chronus was a raid performed by the Rift Wardens in the failing war for Talos. Across the planet, Imperial strike teams performed hundreds of simultaneous assaults on key Tyranid targets.
The Rift Wardens were tasked with attacking a large spawning pool site, designated Chronus. Here the Tyranids had a vast number of newly birthed organisms, The goal was to hinder the Hive Mind's activity by attacking the site, slaying all lifeforms and destroying the site totally. This was to hinder the aliens and provide a much needed morale boost to the defenders. A secondary aim was to force the Tyranids out of the area.
The Rift Wardens, led by Arthurus himself, started their attack in the night, Supported by repulsor tanks and drop troops, they attacked under cover of darknes. After a two hour battle and inflicting high casualties upon the Tyranids, the space marines retreated back into the night. Operation Chronus was a total and much needed success.
