History
Countless years, the Necrons remained in their deathless slumber hidden in their tombs on many worlds. In 783.M41, the Eldar [[Farseer]] [[Eldrad Ulthran]] of [[Craftworld]] [[Ulthwe]] witnessed a vision where on the dead world of [[Maedrex]] an Imperial [[Explorator]] team would arrive and unwittingly awaken the Necrons on that planet. To prevent this, the Eldar struck quickly and destroyed the Imperial ships before descending onto the planet where they purged it of the Necron presence.<sup>3</sup> Later came the first reported contact between the Necrons and the [[Imperium]] of Man came in [[897.M41]] during the raid on [[Sanctuary 101]] which was garrisoned by the [[Adeptus Sororitas]]. At the time, the invaders were identified as an unknown form of Xenos species but later reported as being the first encounter with the awakening Necrons. Its also later reported that the invaders did not attack the colony but instead emerged from the ground itself.<sup>3</sup>
In 936.M41, a tomb complex awoke on the planet Malbrede due to fighting between the [[Ultramarine]]s and a [[Tau]] expeditionary force. With this new threat emerging, the two enemies join forces to defeat the emerging Necrons. After the battle, [[Marneus Calgar]] commits [[ExtermiantusExterminatus]] on Malbrede but allows the Tau to evacuvate their forces before destroying the world.<sup>3</sup>
