>The Necrontyr were one of the three original species of the milkyway galaxy who mattered.
>The other two being the life-worshiping amphibians called the Old Ones, and the ever famished star parasites called the C'tan.
>Of the three, the C'tan evolved first.
>They emerged in the raging primordial sea of the big bang, where entropy was high and hydrogen abundant in the void.
>Their constituent parts rolled in the sea of plasma, competing with derivatives of itself for survival in an abstract orientless ecosystem that extended in all directions.
>The competition pushed the energy organisms onwards to take on ever more complex forms and functions.
>The galaxy expanded in time, and with it, the hydrogen vapor underwent condensation, collapsing into galaxies and stars.
>The first stars generated immense magnetic fields and heat by burning the hydrogen in their core, mass transmogrifying the hydrogen into helium.
>With the void between the stars thinning, the energy organisms were forced to adapt to the change in their environment by becoming star parasites, endlessly seeking out the magnetic signatures of stars as a beacon to new hydrogen to consume.
>In the process of a C'tan slowly flaying a star's magnetic flux for energy, immense amounts of radiation are released.
