Hollow Sun - The 41st Millennium: Near the end of the 41st Millennium, after several solar decades since its disastrous revivification, the Hollow Sun would slowly come back online, but not in the manner that was originally intended.The vast stasis chambers and labyrinthine passageways were still largely empty, though swarms of Canoptek Scarabs scoured them centimetre by centimetre in an effort to repair the damage done when the command program attempted to awaken Phaeron Ahmontekh.The bulk of the effort is focused about the mighty stasis halls, wherein countless thousands, perhaps many millions of Necron Warriors and war machines lay in cold sleep.Regent Ahhotek's Crypteks have thus far succeeded in awakening but a portion of the overall number of Necrons interred within, but their industry is ceaseless and the most arcane processes are being brought to bear to bypass the lost phaeron's command protocols and turn control over to his regent.Of those warriors the Crypteks have been able to awaken, there number many thousands of loyal soldiers of all types, from rank after rank of warriors to the devastating Doomsday Arks.These muster in the great precincts of the necropolis, ever ready to pass through the massive Dolmen Gate at its heart and to make war upon the galaxy as they did sixty million Terran years ago.As it slowly awakens, the Hollow Sun is taking its place at the heart of the resurgent empire of the Suhbekhar Dynasty. The rule of the regent Ahhotekh is as incomplete in the matter of his territory as it is in that of his legions, however, and the location of every single Tomb World and other holding in the region is as yet unrevealed even to him.As with the revivification of his dormant servants, the regent is determined to locate and muster every tomb in which an underling might lay sleeping, and many of his most cunning and stealthy warriors are scouring the outer darkness for any and all signs of them.In doing so, they have discovered that others seek the cold tombs of the Necrons too, and a silent war is escalating in the dark places of the Outer Reach.The regent Ahhotekh is now well aware that others have marked his dynasty's awakening, though he is far from certain which of the numerous species plaguing the galaxy knows anything of substance. He sees the hand of the Aeldari all about, though he was much gratified to discover that these erstwhile scions of the Old Ones are but a guttering remnant of their former glory in the present age.The presence of the Orks was of little surprise, for ever have their kind infested the universe. Of the Tyranids the Necrons knew little, but recognised them for the alien foe that had decimated the Charnovokh Dynasty.In the T'au, the regent saw traces of the work not of the Old Ones, but others of their progeny, determining that a more detailed examination would be necessary to ascertain their true heritage.The spread of Humanity was something of a surprise to the regent and his court viziers, for it had not been predicted by the royal astrologer (who was formally disintegrated for his failure, another event he did not foresee).The spread of mortal beings enslaved to the powers of the Warp was less of a surprise to the Necrons, for one of the last things the Suhbekhar witnessed before closing the portals of their crypts on the galaxy was the taint of the beyond questing outwards from the bleeding wounds torn in the fabric of reality at the climax of the war in the Webway.Though the Warp and all its spawn are anathema to the soulless Necrons, they are well aware of the threat such deluded slaves represent to the resurgence of their dynasties, and the regent's legions have already fought several battles against the forces of the Ruinous Powers.One event that concerned the Necrons of the Hollow Sun greatly was their discovery of the Hadex Anomaly. The Warp phenomenon put several of the regent's advisers in mind of the terrible things unleashed upon the galaxy by the C'tan at the height of the War in Heaven, but when they turned their attention upon it they became quite certain that the anomaly itself was looking back at them.It is the regent's belief that the Hadex Anomaly represents a truly unknowable sentience entirely out of its own time and its own place, though to date the Necrons have not formulated a plan to confront the issue.There are two pressing matters that the Necrons of the Hollow Sun must confront and which its forces are mustering against in ever increasing numbers.The first is the Aeldari, for while this once-great culture has clearly fallen far, the regent is convinced the forces of the Aeldari, or of those allied to them, are active in the Jericho Reach and working against the dynasty's holdings.The other issue is that of the Inquisition and the Deathwatch, for while the Necrons do not yet have the perspective to separate the two, they have discerned that Humanity has its champions and these too are active in denying the region to its true inheritors.While the Aeldari prove an elusive foe, too cautious of loss to confront openly, the champions of Humanity have proven a thorn in the side of the Suhbekhar Dynasty. So formidable have the Space Marines proven that some amongst the Court of the Hollow Sun believe they represent a supreme evolution of the Human genome.Some even hold them to be an entirely separate species, one deliberately created, perhaps even by the prescient Old Ones.
