It was during this period that the Necrontyr under their Silent King Szarekh had perceived anomalies in the oldest dying stars. The Necrontyr, having been defeated by the Old Ones and scattered to the halo stars had fallen into civil war, the second such War of Secession. Since the earliest times the Necrontyr had studied the stars to understand their baleful energies, seeking some power to unleash upon their bitter enemies, the Old Ones, during the War in Heaven. These beings continued their benign existence with little conception of the universe until the intervention of the Necrontyr. They paid no head to solid matter for the internal fires and electromagnetism of the new-born planets were insufficient to register their on their monstrous hunger. In time, these star vampires learned to fly on diaphanous wings of magnetic flux, leaving their birthplaces drifting to new feeding grounds. At these early stages they were merely monstrous parasites suckling upon the stars that bore them, shortening their lives by uncounted millennia. While these creatures would later be known as the C'tan, during the early stages they bore little resemblance to the terrifying entities they would later become. It was long before the planets first formed and cooled that the first self-aware entities emerged from the seas of plasma and solar flares. It is said that the C'tan were born during the creation of the universe itself, formed of the insensate energies unleashed in the churning mass of unimaginable force.
