Loyal soldiers of the Imperium of Man! Your true faith and unshakeable bravery shall soon be tested. The Great Devourer knocks at our door: welcome its horrors with all the fury humanity has to offer. The Imperial Inquisition, in its holy mandate to safeguard the Emperor's realm from all that besiege it within and without, has designated this tendril of the Tyranid threat 'HIVE FLEET BASILISK'. Many lives have already been spent to learn of its methods; memorize the following tactical report to ensure that their sacrifice was not in vain.
Hive Fleet Basilisk's planetary assault forces predominantly consist of burrowing organisms and spawn that have adapted for the lightless conditions of their tunnels. As such, they are sightless, malformed, and fearful of the sky from which the Emperor's pitiless gaze shall scour them. Because they must squeeze their forms through the crust of humanity's domain, their warrior bioforms (designated RAVENERS - PICT-CAPTURE ATTACHED) are small and feeble, worm-like things that deserve neither your pity nor a moment's hesitation before you stomp them back into the ground from which they rose...

FOR DISTRIBUTION TO ILLITERATE, CHILD, AND OGRYN SOLDIERS: Bugs come to kill you. They come from underground. Show no fear. Kill them all. The Emperor protects.
