Prologue

In the deepest eons of history, before mankind had even emerged from the primordial ooze, the Necrontyr dominated the galaxy. Eons ago,necrontyr's home planet was exposed to the harshness of the universe, at the time lives were short and uncertain, their bodies blighted and consumed at an early age by the terrible cancers and other illnesses linked to the high levels of ionizing radiation given off by their sun. Their civilization was surrounded by the idea of death due to their short natural lives. Even the greatest monuments were never for the living but to celebrate death due to their naturally short life span.

Unable to find peace in their own world, the Necrontyr blindly groped outward into the universe to explore other stars. Using stasis crypts and slow-moving, antimatter-powered torch-ships, the Necrontyr began to colonize distant worlds. Little by little, the Necrontyr dynasties spread ever further, until much of the ancient galaxy answered to their rule. But unity receded, even as the bound of their domain expanded. Fearing the collapse of their civilization the leader of the necrontyr assailed the old ones. Seeking to wrest from them the secret of eternal life.

As they encounter one of the oldest races in the universe 'the old ones' This meeting between a short-lived, dour race and a hopeful, nigh immortal one kindled a burning, jealous rage in the hearts of the Necrontyr. From this moment on, they turned their entire lives to destroying the Old Ones.

When the war was declared, the Necrontyr shortly realized they would never be able to win. They were constantly outmaneuvered by the Old Ones' mastery of the Webway. Eventually, they were pushed back to being merely an annoyance in the outer regions among the Halo Stars.

Until …. "that" day, the leaders of necrontyr: Triarch, were about to announce their defeat to the old ones. Suddenly, the sky darkens, thunderstorms emerge from nowhere. What was left in the air is just the pure harshness of the cold void. The world was silent.

Nobody knows what exactly happened in the process, but all we know is that the Necrontyr managed to overcome this crisis and became one of the few species in the universe that conquered the galaxy.

Sixty million years later, in an era where multiple factions both flourished and deceased. In a star system where the emperor's light cannot reach, subtle changes are changing on the planet of Terren. In fact, it is a star system where nothing reaches and yet the people on the planet lived flourished and built an impressive system where the people relatively speaking lives better than the average imperium world scattered around the galaxy. For them, the word Xeno is just a story of a fairytale as they have never seen a Xeno race ever since the establishment of their imperial central command and that was 500 years ago.

The Terra family was one of the first lords that have ruled over the planet, they were in command of the military sector and that part has eventually developed into the imperial navy over the centuries. And yet ever since fifteen years ago, this family has gradually faded away from the public's eyes. Rumor claims that the family has encountered some mysterious issue that led Maria Terra and Miller Terra to disappear without a trace. However, a rumor is a rumor, Terra family isn't as important as they used to be as every generation are having less control over the sectors, they were taking charge of, in the present days the Terras are merely just an old-time story where people talk about after dinner.

On a starless night, a traveler from the outer realm has entered the star system, at first, he thought this is just another human world that's full of uncivilized animals like other million ones. And yet the special energy reading coming from the different site of the planet have immediately gathered his interest. He goes by many names, a thief, the collector, overlord, and even sometimes God for a few inferior races but out of all of them, he claims himself to be the Archaeovist of the Solemnace Galleries. When he first landed on the planet, as usual, is the flourishment of life on the planet, he personally doesn't really mind too much unlike his other colleagues who are hellbent on destroying all life. However, when he finally arrived at the source of the signal there's nothing but flat plain, and the energy signature are mysteriously gone.

The good thing for a Necron is that the only thing they don't lack at is time. Over a few years' time of cloaking among the human, he eventually found out the strange society this planet is cultivating. First of all is the air quality and then the occupation distribution. When he was reading the records of the battle that has taken place on this planet, he noticed that there is nothing about Xeno activity was reported on this planet. However, there's isn't any interesting installations on this seemingly peaceful world, a large amount of great conquer era artifact was discovered on this planet and was stored in an undisclosed facility. Trazyn kept reading the details about the artifacts over and over again. Finally, a chilling grin came out of his metallic death mask.

PS: I have been working on this project for over a year now and the progress of the story has gone way further than what I uploaded here, mainly due to the earlier chapters' writing style and content has gone through a different way during development. So, I'd say at the earlier chapters I will take time to fix a lot of logic issues and change the writing style a bit, but usually, I can release a chapter around 4 or 5 days due to other stuff to do in life. And later on, I might be release chapters faster because I don't have to change half of the chapters every time.
