→Wars with the Necrons
The Old Ones were sent reeling. They could not match the cold science of the Necrons and were pushed back. Millions were slaughtered and eventually the Necrons dominated the galaxy. The last bastions of the Old Ones power were besieged and many of the younger races were completely destroyed.
The Old Ones eventually came to the conclusion that they needed to create warrior and psychic races with the specific purpose of combating the Necrons. These races are thought to have included the [[Eldar]], the [[Rashan]], and the [[K'nib]].
The introduction of these warlike and often psychic races into the galaxy had the side effect of warping the [[Warp]] - the war, pain and destruction of the galaxy during the conflict was reflected in the Warp, and the innocuous entities which naturally existed in the Warp were twisted into voracious and hostile predators. Ultimately this would lead to the destruction of the Old Ones.
