The earliest mentions of the Void Dragon relate it to technology in a way that would indicate it had an amazing affinity and ability to control it. In a transcript of a Vox-communication between one [[Inquisitor]] [[Horst]] and a [[Tech-priest]] Alagos, the Void Dragon is mentioned as the most powerful of all the Star Gods and that it had the ability to create almost invincible warriors. Also, it is mentioned that the warriors could channel lightning into their foes, perhaps related to a [[Necron Lord]]'s [[Lightning Field|lightning field]], although the impression given in this text is that of a much more widespread usage, perhaps making the lightning field more standardized, much like the [[Disruption Field|disruption field]]. The Necrons at the time, though much more powerful than the recently emerged ones, were stopped by a force of Eldar warriors known as the "[[Iron Knight]]s", or simply "Knights", powered by the souls of departed Eldar.¹ This is before the rise of [[Slaanesh]], so the souls of the Eldar would not be consumed, although where they went is unstated.

It appears now that the Eldar constructs were immune to the lightning bolts of the Necrons, indicating that perhaps these Necrons were not armed with the more familiar [[Gauss Weaponry|Gauss weaponry]], perhaps a later modification made after these battles. It is possible that these Iron Knights are in some way related to the ancient [[Wraithguard]], as they bear remarkable similarities to each other. They were also led by [[Wraith-Giant]]s, possibly related to the [[Wraithlord]], again with many similarities. It is said that many waves of Necrons were brought forth, but none could beat the Iron Knights, nigh-invincible as they were.¹
