With their Inertialess Drives eliminating acceleration, the small fleet led by Zahndrekh followed the energy trail observed by the Cryptek and soon found the Titan Ship Forgeheart, two star systems away.
Even Zahndrekh could not help exclaiming in wonder at that moment.
The Necrons possessed many vast megastructures, and enormous ships were hardly uncommon, but this was the first time he had seen an artificial megastructure built by another race.
Though its immense size amazed him, the old general's anger toward the Forgeheart had not diminished in the slightest.

Some Tomb Sentinels were
