According to ancient accounts, the Men of Stone were engineered by the [[Men of Gold]] for the purpose of deep space colonization.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Though physically inferior to their creators, they are capable of building great artifices and constructed the [[Men of Iron]] as their eyes and ears.{{Fn|2}} As the Stone Men existed in a state of "half-life", they were unaffected by the [[Daemon]]s of the [[Warp]], something that made [[Warp Travel]] much easier for them. In time Mankind learned to place itself into the ships of the Stone Men, protected from the depredations of the Warp.{{Fn|2}}
Over time as mankind expanded into the stars, the Men of Gold lost their influence, and the Men of Stone became ascendant. However, the [[Men of Iron ]] eventually rebelled against their Stone creators, producing catastrophic wars that Humanity barely survived.{{Fn|2}}
