Explorator Torson leads another Paleologos Explorator team into the ante-chamber, confirming that they are of Necrontyr origin.Arrival of Ork Space Hulk (345.M35) - An Ork space hulk is pulled towards Angelis through a Warp rift which knocks the Eternal Vigilance out of orbit before both voidships crash into the planet's surface. "The Big Blast", a huge flash of energy which blazes across the sky, pulsing up into the stars, occurs. It is unknown whether the "Big Blast" was caused by the crash of the space hulk, or whether it was the "Big Blast" which caused the space hulk to hurtle from the Warp. All contact with the Mechanicus Explorator mission is lost.First Pre-Digga War (Unknown Date.M35) - First Pre-Digga War, as Adeptus Mechanicus Explorators are trapped in tunnels beneath the Necrontyr pyramids, forcing them to fight for control of machines which can create food from air, and lights which burn for a lifetime.Construction of New Ork Vessel (Unknown Date.M35) - The surviving Orks begin construction of a new vessel from the wreckage of the crashed Space Hulk in order to return to the WAAAGH!.Communication with Angelis Lost (Unknown Date.M35) - The Imperium abandons further attempts to reach Angelis after astropathic contact fails, and impenetrable Warp Storms continue to block the planet. The only record of the Imperial expedition is a brief entry in the files of the Adeptus Mechanicus, whose final entry is stamped "All Contact Lost –- Present Status Unknown."Second Pre-Digga War (Unknown Date.M35) - Several generations after the initial crash of the Ork space hulk, a Second Pre-Digga War occurs, as Human tribes beneath the pyramids fight for space and resources.The Schism (Unknown Date) - An event known as "The Schism" occurs amongst the remaining Orks. Some of the Orks believe that their new vessel was a likeness of Gork (the "Gorkers"), while others believe that it was a likeness of Mork (the "Morkers"). This results in internecine fighting, which leads to the catastrophic destruction of the vessel. Following this disaster, both sides agree to a cessation of hostilities and attempt to work together. It is agreed that the vessel will be referred to as "Gorkamorka" in the future to prevent any similar argument standing in the way of the Orks' return to the WAAAGH!Restoration of the Etervigila (Unknown Date) - Over several centuries, survivors from the Eternal Vigilance, who have been mutated from the Human baseline by radiation leaking from the wreck of the space hulk (known as "Muties") restore the wreck of their ship (renamed Etervigila) to much of its former glory, and roam the desert for remnants of their forebears' technology as well as any evidence of their passing.Wrecker War (Unknown Date) - The "Wreckers" tribe beneath the pyramids emerge from the darkest depths of the tunnels after making an alliance of sorts with its Necron inhabitants. Each Wrecker becomes the head of a tribe, as each surrenders or is destroyed in turn.Necrons Unleashed (Unknown Date) - Several generations after the Wrecker War, the Humans beneath the pyramids dig their way out and encounter Orks who are conducting their own excavations. The Orks name the Humans "Diggas" and promptly enslave them. One night, the pyramids glow with power as huge portals open, unleashing an army of Necrons upon the Orks, who are massacred. The Orks name the pyramids "Morgargdurlurkgulskardregsnikslag" (which roughly translates into Low Gothic as the "Fortress of ancient, terrifying power, land of waiting death, pain and destruction").Necrons Onslaught (Unknown Date) - Several solar years after the massacre at the pyramids, the Necron legions continue to sweep towards the Orks' base at Mektown, destroying mobs and whole forts.Warp Storms Cease (Unknown Date.M41) - The Warp Storms shrouding Angelis finally cease. Another Imperial expedition is sent to the planet.The Angelis Boat (692.M41) - Imperial excavations uncover a Necron Dirge-class Raider several hundred metres below the surface of Angelis.
