Outsider Resides in the Dyson Sphere?

I've often heard from others that the Outsider is believed to be contained in the Dyson Sphere, but I'm surprised the article makes no mention of this. I assume then that there is no resource that says anything of this?

I believe this is taken from the necron codex - the nid's are avoiding a world for some unknown reason and people have taken that world to be a dyson sphere, although where that came from i'm not sure. Personally I would say they are avoiding it because it is a dead world. If it is related to the necrons then it is likely to be a dead world. So yes, as far as I know there is no actual source confirming this.--Jonru 06:55, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

In the Necron Codex, there are two references to a Dyson Shell. The primary one is a "deep scan image capture" right at the back, which depicts an "Unknown object est. DIA 1.04AU" near the edge of the galaxy. An Astronomical Unit is roughly the radius of Earth's orbit around the sun. Given that this thing hasn't collapsed into a black hole, it's almost certainly a small Dyson Shell.

The second reference is on pages 58-59, during the account of the questioning of Ex-adept Corteswain. Corteswain describes being transported by "Emissaries of the One who Dwells Beyond" to a land with "a horizon that stretched up and round to enclose a bloated red sun, that seemed so close[...]". He also claims that "The One who lives Beyond, the Lord of Insanity [...] dwells on the world within the world". From this, it seems clear to me that there is an actual source which, while it doesn't confirm that the Outsider is in a Dyson Shell, certainly waggles its eyebrows suggestively and mouths "look over there". --Keris Rain 06:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article for Dyson sphere in popular culture lists the Outsider as being trapped in a Dyson Sphere(note that it is unsourced, so I don't know where that came from), so either this speculation came from Wikipedia, or the opposite occured. Meanwhile I remember Corteswain(and his abduction) being mentioned several times in Nightbringer by Graham McNeil. Commisar Gegnillum 18:41, 28 March 2011 (CEST)
