Necrons awoken on Vespae

While the Aleph Sector struggled with warp storms, the eldar encountered their old foe in the system of Vespae. The system had been quarantined by the Aeldari race in 019M42, fighting off the expansionist imperial fleets and warning their allies the Tau to keep away, occasionally using force to ensure compliance. Now, in 020M42, the necrons awoke.

 

The resurgent necron threat was countered by the Ul'Staer craftworld, after it was realised that if just one tomb city awoke to full wakefulness, there was the threat of system wide reawakening of the alien race, which represented millions of warriors the eldar would not be able to counter. Acting swiftly, the eldar attacked the necrons as they mustered in front of their ancient tomb. Although unable to defeat the ancient enemy, the necrons were unable to contact adjacent tomb complexes, and a protective corden was established around the awakened complex. For now the necron threat at Vespae had been contained.
