The first tendril outsripped the crippled Malan'tai fleet to arrive at Halathel first, and in 801809.M41 launched waves of Mycetic Spores onto the planet. The Exodites of Halathel were unable to abandon their kin's souls contained in the planet's Worldspirit and so began to fortify the Worldspirit shrine while begging with nearby Craftworlds for assistance. Naga responded by splintering its forces into two tendrils, the first continuing ahead to the Exodite world of Halathel, and the second turning back rimwards towards the Maiden World of Eth-aelas. In 131809.M41 Eldar fleets from Malan'tai and Idharae had gathered to attack Naga's leading elements. The death throes of the planet projected a psychic shockwave that crippled the World Spirits of several neighboring Exodite worlds, leaving them easy prey for Naga. Naga's first attack on the Eldar was in 640801.M41 when it suddenly devoured the Exodite World of Tar-Etenil. The elimination of Hive Fleet Naga had little to do with the Imperium and was chiefly at the hands of the Eldar. Both sides were devoured when Naga descended on the planet. On the planet's surface members of its population, including the planetary governor, revealed their true allegiance to the Cult of Veiled Oblivion and took arms against the loyal defence forces. In 701802.M41 Naga devoured Crimsonfall and then continued on to Tern which, having sent many of its forces to Crimsonfall, was easily overcome. The coremost world of Silax, which had fallen into anarchy as the Cult of Veiled Oblivion gained prominence, refused to send aid to Crimsonfall.

Further reinforcements were shipped from Tern only to be ambushed enroute by Dark Eldar raiders, who in turn were caught and destroyed in Naga's advance. The Imperial defenders rallied behind these powerful tanks, but they were quickly reduced to scrap by a brood of Tyrannofexes. The nearby world of Tern sent reinforcements including a company of neglected but operational Cadian Baneblades. In 909801.M41 Naga invaded the world of Crimsonfall. Īs Naga assaulted the Ulumeathic League, rumours reached the Ybaric Cluster of an approaching alien menace and a cult known as the Cult of Veiled Oblivion grew in membership all across the cluster. When the warp storms ceased, the worlds were found to be devoid of life and Hive Fleet Naga was gone. Located beyond the Eastern Fringe of the Vidar Sector, they had been isolated by Warp Storms for several centuries. The only dense concentration of Imperial worlds that was invaded was the Ybaric Cluster. It wasn't until two hundred years later when Hive Fleet Kraken emerged that it was understood there were other Tyranid Hive Fleets poised to enter the galaxy. Naga attacked areas of space with little Imperial presence and so at first, rather than admitting a new Tyranid threat was entering the galaxy, the majority of the Administratum believed it to be a splintered tendril of Hive Fleet Behemoth that would soon die off from starvation.

Then in 692808.M41 Naga returned to assault the Ulumeathic League again, absorbing the League's Throneworld before the remaining colonies declared a full quarantine. Naga for the next five years from 802.M41 to 807.M41 committed its forces to consuming several minor alien races on the edge of Ulumeathi space. However doing so crippled their own ability to rearm and refit any further spacecraft in the region. A fleet from the Varreyan planet was sent to destroy the entire facility from orbit. Genestealers managed to infiltrate the few refugee freighters that escaped the colonies, and after two days of the freighters arriving at the Varreyan space docks, all contact with the complex was lost as the Genestealers took their toll.

Naga's first major attack on the galaxy was in 012801.M41 when it fell upon the Ulumeathic League and within days destroyed its four outer colonies.
