The Tyranids don't really avoid worlds or enemies unless there's nothing to be gained. Like they don't bother the Necron cause they can't gain any bio-mass.

So IMHO I don't see them running from anything. Maybe, just maybe if there was some unknown enemy the Nids can't absorb, but I'm assuming no.

The trouble with is that GW never told us where Tyran was relative to the galactic center when it was attacked (and what the cosmic date was, of course). Had we known, we could have gauged more or less the galaxy from which the Tyranid assault began. It would certainly help in a number of debates.

According to the Lexicanum Tyran is to the "galactic south-east of Ultramar", if that helps. I have no idea where than relates to other galaxies, but someone else might be able to tell from that information.

But then again the Nids are coming from the whole galactic east side.
