Did a Space Marine Cause the Tyranid Invasion?

-

Has anyone ever considered that the presence of the Tyranids in the galaxy can be traced back to the actions of Barabas Dantioch? According to the lore, he overloaded the Pharos Beacon, creating a signal that attracted the Hive Mind to our galaxy. If this is true, doesn’t that mean that all the factions struggling against the Tyranids could potentially blame this one Iron Warrior for the crisis?

Basically, not many people actually know about the Pharos Beacon in-universe, so they wouldn’t connect Dantioch’s actions with the Tyranid invasion. Most of the characters oblivious to the backstory wouldn’t even think about it. And honestly, the few who did are mostly gone now, which doesn’t help the case.

Exactly! Even if they knew about the beacon, they wouldn’t understand its consequences. It’s really more like an ancient problem that spiraled out of control.
