Solemnace is a [[Necron Tomb World|Tomb World]] ruled by [[Trazyn|Trazyn the Infinite]]{{Fn|7a}}, an [[Necron Overlord|Overlord]] of the [[Nihilakh Dynasty]]{{Fn|4}}. Its galleries are famous for displaying some of the greatest artifacts and technological wonders in the [[galaxy]]{{Fn|1}} and have been visited by Necrons of almost every [[Necron Dynasty|dynasty]].{{Fn|7b}}
The planet itself is an artificial construct, essentially a planet-sized Dyson Sphere whose outer shell consists of untold amounts of nano-machines. A series of "mirrors" exist above the planet which collect {{PAGENAME}}'s excess energy and redirect it back to form an artificial sun and atmosphere. Beneath the outer nano-shell are vast prismatic galleries, where Trazyn's many collections exist in suspended animation.{{Fn|55a}}
Solemnace is mostly [[Great Sleep | dormant]], with Trazyn only needing a small team to help him manage the planet. Among his team, he employs [[Wraith|Architect-wraiths]]{{Fn|7a}}, [[Lychguard|Lychguards]]{{Fn|8}}, and an [[Cryptek|Arch-Cryptek]] called [[Sannet]] who serves as Chief Cryptek and the curator of the Solemnace collection.{{Fn|7c}}{{Fn|8}}
==History==
Solemnace is thought to long predate Humanity's first foray into the stars.{{Fn|55a}}
Later, [[Fabius Bile]] and affiliated forces arrived on the world in search of long-lost [[Emperor's Children]] [[Gene-Seed]]. Fabius' clone of [[Fulgrim]] was traded to Trazyn in exchange for the gene stock.{{Fn|5a5b}} During the [[13th Black Crusade]], Warp disturbances created instability across {{PAGENAME}} and forced Trazyn to come to the aid of the Imperium.{{Fn|6}}
In [[M41]], it lay in the path of two minor tendrils of [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. The tendrils made course corrections to deliberately avoid Solemnace and eventually lapsed into hibernation after finding themselves unable to pinpoint any nutrient-rich prey worlds.{{Fn|4}}
