{{Fleet List Linkbox}}
The [[Necron ]] fleet is made up of a few incredibly powerful, technologically advanced, and highly manoeuverable ships. They have the ability to strike at will and often a smaller vessel can defeat a greater one with ease due to the advanced technology it carries.

==Overview==
All [[Necron ]] ships are made of [[living metal]] and as such are immune to natural phenomena such as solar flares and gas giants. It is also excellent at repairing the vessels. They use an Inertialess Drive, allowing them to move without entering the warp. The engines are very effective and alow the ships to move varying distances.
The first major encounter between [[Imperial]] and [[Necron]] fleets was in the [[Yuctan System]] ([[Yuctan Incident]]), close to the eastern fringes. It was a small settlement but had a Navy Depot. The depot was being used by a small Imperial squadron consisting of the [[Dauntless Class Light Cruiser]] ''Farsight'' and 6 other smaller Escort ships. ''Squadron Farsight'' was refueling and rearming on Yuktan before heading back out on patrol. They recieved a distress message from a colony on the outlying planet of [[Merida]]. Only one Imperial vessel survived ([[Cobra Class Destroyer]] ON37452) and the Necrons didn't lose any ships. By the time a full fleet was assembled, the Necrons were gone.
