{{main|War in Heaven (Necrons)}}
Terrible wars were known to have followed this chain of events but all ended with the Necrontyr's inability to vanquish their foes. Despite their advanced technology, they found themselves constantly outmanoeuvred by the Old Ones due to their mastery of [[Webway]] portals. Eventually, the [[Necrontyr]] were vanquished to such an extent that they were considered little more than an irritation to the Old Ones and forced back to the outer dark of the halo stars where they were forgotten. This imprisonment lasted for centuries. As they sought to find a suitable weapon to unleash upon their foes, the Necrontyr began to study their sun, whereupon they discovered ancient entities that resided on the star. These they made manifest and named [[C'tan]], or star-gods in their language, and used them as their new weapon against the Old Ones.{{Fn|1b}} Through the C'tan, the Necrontyr were transformed into a cold machine race of beings that became known as the [[Necron]]s. They were now able to pursue their vengeance against their ancient foes. This time, the conflict was far different from the previous wars as the Old Ones' mastery of the [[Warp]] was now countered by the C'tan's supremacy of the material universe. In time, the C'tan began to dominate the Galaxy whilst the Old Ones' bastions were besieged and their nurtured races were fed upon like cattle by the eternal hunger of the star-gods. Entire worlds were razed, suns extinguished and entire star systems devoured whole by the terrible C'tan.{{Fn|1b}}
