==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]]s, allowing them to move without entering the warp. The engines are very effective and alow allow 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.
