===Overview===
Also known as the '''Zone of Silence'''{{Fn|2}} and the '''Nephilim Anomaly''', {{Fn|6}} it is a region of space that seems to be [[Null Field|free from the influences of the Warp]]. The [[Imperium ]] thus named it after the [[Blank|Pariah Gene]], which has a similar effect of suppressing the [[Warp]]. In truth, the Nexus is a vast [[Blackstone]] array constructed by the [[Necrons]], more specifically the [[Cryptek]] [[Szeras]] and the [[Nihilakh Dynasty]]. Considered the pinnacle of Necron cosmic engineering, at the heart of the network is the [[Xendu System]] where an immense Blackstone cage has been constructed. Around the System are vast amounts of Necron orbitals and warships to guard over their great work. Further out lay networks of vast Blackstone [[Pylons]], their deployment extending through patterns of non-euclidean fractal crypto-logic incomprehensible to mortal minds. Scattered through nodal and outlier systems, each pylon was a unique colossal structure whose purpose was to sustain and extend a field of anti-empyric energy.{{Fn|2}} Pylons were seeded on target worlds with an immense [[Pylon Ship]].{{Fn|5a}}
During the [[Indomitus Crusade]], the [[Imperial]] [[Battlegroup Kallides]] was sent to investigate the Nexus, instigating a [[War in the Pariah Nexus|war]] there.{{Fn|2}} Imperials in this region soon found themselves effected by a damaging malaise and energy-sapping field dubbed "The [[Stilling]]". It is speculated the stilling originates from the many Pylons in the Nexus.{{Fn|3}}
