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|5a}} The Tomb World is also known to contain one of the greatest document collection in the galaxy, such is his size that even rivals the [[Black Library]] of the [[Aeldari]].{{Fn|7b}} So vast are the maze-like galleries and passageways on Solemnace that not even Trazyn knows their true extent, for the construction [[Scarab]]s have endlessly expanded it for millennia. Most of these galleries are simply empty, awaiting the day Trazyn may utilize them for the display of something.{{Fn|7a}}
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}} Despite this the world still maintains formidable defenses in the form under Trazyn's tactical Cryptek [[Tekk-Nev]]. The defenses include swarms of [[Canoptek Construct]]s and automated defensive batteries and attacking Solemnace is seen as a fool's errand by the rest of the Necron race.{{Fn|7a}}
[[Trazyn]] has also connected the [[Tomb World]] to a hidden '''Sub-dimensional reality bubble''' via [[Reality-Tether]]s. It is only able to be entered and exited by the [[Necron Overlord|Overlord]] or his minions and contains a stronghold, named '''Sanctum''', which holds reality-warping arenas, that are replicated from those used by the [[Imperium]]. Trazyn has placed renowned warriors there, which he has fight for his amusement, though the Overlord has promised to free whoever emerges as the ultimate victor between them all. However due to the advance technology available to the [[Necrons]], Trazyn is able to heal the warriors of even the most lethal wounds and send them back into the fray. Even should someone actually win, though, the Overlord has no intention of keeping his promise of giving the warriors their freedom. Instead, the arena winner will have the honor of taking a place of pride within Trazyn's latest exhibit on Solemnace.{{Fn|9}}
