>The Necrontyr's cast of scientists were a bunch of solitary essentric inventors called the Crypteks.
>The Crypteks horded their achievements and secrets from each other and everyone else to demand recognition and reward for their crafts, thus their name.
>Crypteks share their secrets only through marrige, in an equal exchange of secrets, or with their students called the Apprenteks, who would make their own advancements on top of their master's technologies before passing them on to their own students, making the diffusion of technology across Necrontyr society occur at a glacial and irregular pace.
>In time, the Crypteks invented scientific methods and technologies so advanced as to be perceived as illogical magic to any beings not clued in on the nature of the Crypteks.
>The Crypteks disproved the existence of all-powerful gods, a feat that was believed impossible by most species under their flawed scientific postulates which required falsifiable tests to be conductable.
>Through their labors, they showed that all you need to make the impossible a reality is a mind genius enough to envision it, and a madness wild enough to pursue it.
>Because of the greed wich which the Crypteks horded their sciences, the Necrontyr civilization was too atomized to ever make any real use of it, unlike the other civilizations such as the Old Ones who shared their discoveries freely and through it blossomed quickly across the stars.
>Not that the Necrontyr knew it.
>The Necrontyr had the models to predict other life across the galaxy, but yet had no encounter with them due to the Necrontyr still being caged to their homeworld.
>Compound technological inheritance accrued over the cource of millions of years permitted the individual Crypteks to fashon void crafts all on their own.
>That was when the Necrontyr left their radiation baithed world to find more hospitable planets.
>Leaving their evil star however did nothing to quell their raging tumors.
>Evolution had already decided the arch of the Necrontyr species, and every individual born therein was doomed to follow it to the bitter conclusion.
