Changes

While the Necrons are not effected by the energy, anything organic is struck by despair, lethargy, and exhaustion and it also causes a [[psychic]] dampening effect. These effects are stronger on the Nexus' worlds and the constant drain of the Stilling can eventually drive some of its victims to commit suicide. Most of its victims, however, eventually collapse and simply remain still until they die. The population of the [[Imperial]] worlds in the Nexus suffered this fate, which the [[Indomitus Crusade]]'s [[Battle Group Kallides (Fleet Primus)|Battle Group Kallides]] discovered when they entered the region. The Stilling also effected the Battle Group's warships, causing their engines to draw on more power to function and caused their [[Geller Field]]s to collapse. Miraculously this did not allow [[Daemon]]s to invade the warships, but this was the few hardships the Battle Group was spared. The Stilling otherwise had a horrific effect on the Battle Group's forces, with only its [[Battle Sisters]] being unaffected by it. This led to horrific causalities caused by suicide or executions carried out by [[Commissar]]s after many stopped following orders or said the Battle Group was doomed. Kallides' [[Psykers]] seemed to suffer a stronger reaction to the Stilling; the psychic dampening effect also caused them to struggle to make their powers work. They described a feeling of constant drowning, which eventually led many of them to commit suicide. When their numbers became extremely low, the Battle Group was forced to assign bodyguards to protect the psykers from themselves.{{Fn|1a}}
