Tanakreg was known for its formidable air-defense defence network<sup>1</sup> and its immense salt mines. It was also home to a [[Necron]] [[Monolith]], buried deep within the planet's crust.
It was attacked in ''date'' by the [[Word Bearers]] [[Legion]] led by a [[Dark Apostle]] by the name of [[Jarulek]]. The local [[PDF]], numbering approximately 200,000 men, was subsequently slaughtered. They believed that the [[Necron]] tomb was a weapon that could be used against the Imperium of Man, in order to disable Imperial warp travel.<sup>1</sup> They unknowingly unleashed the Necrons, and it can be reasoned that this was one of the first encounters with the Necrons themselves.
