→The Star Gods
As their star had haunted their own existence, the Necrontyr studied the stars in an attempt to understand more of how they worked and to try to find something they could unleash on the Old Ones. Eventually, they found something so ancient as to predate even the Old Ones. This sentience fed on the stars they orbited but had little conception of the universe around them other than satisfying their need for energy. This was the weapon they needed to fight the Old Ones. Their etheric form made them invincible to conventional weapons. They were named [[C'tan]], or Star Gods.{{Fn|1}}
How the Necrontyr managed to communicate with these beings is unknown, but the Necrontyr knew these beings the C'tan could not understand the material universe without a physical, material body. So they made bodies for these creatures out of their living metal, allowing these bodies tangible manifestations to expand and change at will. Supposedly, "translucent streams of force" were seen as the first being of the C'tan moved across the incorporeal starlight bridge into the body forged for it.{{Fn|1}}
The first being lifeform to come across the starlight bridge was [[Aza'gorod]], the Night Bringer. As the creature became more manifest and intelligent, the Necrontyr began to worship the C'tan as gods for their supreme power. The And the C'tan turned the Necrontyr into slaves and enjoyed ruling over them with cruelty and disgust.{{Fn|1}}
