'''Cairn Class Tomb Ships''' are, at fifteen kilometers wide{{Fn|1}}, the largest vessels in the and most powerful class of [[Necron Fleet]]warships.
==Overview==
At fifteen kilometers wide{{Fn|1}}, these are the largest vessels in the [[Necron Fleet]]. They are the most powerful and heavily armed of Necron ships and are easily strong enough to destroy an [[Imperial]] [[Battleship]]. Though they are powerful, they are also rare and have only been encountered seven times. They are heavily equipped with an array of devastating weaponry, such as the [[Sepulchre]], [[Lightning Arc]]s, [[Energy Drain]] generators, and [[Particle Whip]]s.{{Fn|2}}
They are always part of a fleet and have never been seen without three [[escort]]s of [[Scythe Class Harvest Ships]]. They are all of the same design, indicating a well-planned and tested ship, brought to the fruition of its design. Though there are no known variants to the Imperials, there is a rumour that a Necron ship that dwarfed an [[Ork]] [[Space Hulk]] may have engaged an Ork fleet, although this may be typical Orkish exaggeration.{{Cite This}}
