Changes

The Necrons' story is one of ancient betrayal. Aeons ago, sixty million years before the [[M41|41st Millennium]], the [[Necrontyr]] race reigned supreme over the Galaxy. However as their great empire grew ever wider and more diverse, the unity that had made them strong was eroded and bitter rebellions known as the '''First Wars of Secession''' erupted as entire realms fought for independence. The [[Triarch]] - the ruling council of Necrontyr - realised that only the threat of an external enemy would bring unity once more and saw the [[Old Ones]] as the perfect subjects for the wrath of their race. Already jealous of the Old Ones seemingly eternal lifespanslife spans, the Necrontyr went to war with the Old Ones, the separatists abandoned their rebellion, and the [[War in Heaven (Necron)|War in Heaven]] began.

The War in Heaven was one of the bloodiest wars in Galactic history, and it soon became apparently apparent that the Necrontyr could never defeat the Old Ones and their mastery of the [[Warp]] despite their advanced technology. On the verge of total defeat, the unity of the Necrontyr began to fracture once more in the '''Second Wars of Secession'''. The Triarchs again desperately searched for a unifying force, and their prayers were answered by the ancient and godlike [[C'tan]], who were drawn to the Necrontyr by the beacon of their raw hatred for the Old Ones. Seeking the aid of these all-powerful star gods, the Necrontyr sought the favour of the C'tan and constructed bodies of [[living metal]] to contain their essence.
