War in the Museum

Necrons

Stories with substantial Necron involvement. The first Damnos incident and the war25 years later are separate. In the contemporary section, the awakening ship’s defence, Eleutane investigation and reclamation of Qeretesh have independent events. A shared enemy or origin does not establish sequels between unrelated books.
