Editing C'tan (section)

===[[Mag'ladroth]], The Void Dragon===
[[File:7fattpselu851.jpg|thumb|Doesn’t look like an actual dragon, surprisingly.]]

The Void Dragon can exert control over any machine, making him the most influential C'tan when at full power. It has been theorized that the [[Emperor]] battled the Void Dragon and successfully managed to put it to sleep under Mars. He didn't kill the Dragon, [[Just as planned|instead using its influence to give humanity mastery over machines]]. Extended from this theory, it is believed by some that the [[Omnissiah]] fervently worshiped by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] is [[Not as planned|actually the Void Dragon]], as he's supposedly the entity that causes the ramshackle excuse for technology the Imperium has to work properly. There's also an Eldar legend of their forge god Vaul failing to destroy the Dragon, only managing to force its hibernation in the so-called "Vaul Moon," although that could, in fact, be Mars itself. In case you're wondering how powerful he is, note that he was once shot at by <i>multiple</i> Blackstone Fortresses simultaneously (keeping in mind that even a single Blackstone Fortress can [[Exterminatus|destroy a planet]] Death Star-style); all this managed to do was make him sleepy. Vaul, meanwhile, allegedly attacked the Dragon with an army at his back and was never heard from again. This is probably the only reason the Emperor was able to defeat the Dragon; it was just tired from his previous scuffle. To top it all off, the Empruh's psychic power is apparently the only thing C'tan are vulnerable to. In short, powerful as FUCK. The Necrons under his command are probably massive technophiles with a raging hard-on for machines... then again, they're already machines, so that would be expected, but they're probably even <b>bigger</b> technophiles than their fellows and emphasize their mechanicalness over their undeadness. Could be argued that he's the only C'tan who's whole, given that he was shot by the Blackstone Fortresses and went to have a little sleepy, meaning he could have avoided the Silent King's master ball. If so, it'll be a bit of a problem to catch him now that's he's hanging out in the [[Terra|most heavily defended solar system]] in the entire galaxy.

If the Void Dragon were to ever wake up, its possible that the tenuous grip on technology the Mechanicus still had could be lost entirely. Those of the Mechanicus would be affected the worst- in an old 3rd Ed Necron codex tale, one such techpriest who discovered the truth of the Dragon tore every last implant from his body in a fearful insanity. Their incredibly strange relationship with technology sees them both venerating it, entrusting themselves to it blindly while also understanding little of it, shunning technology like that of AI in the wake of the Men of Iron. Wholly dependent and wholly ignorant of their tech, the Imperium's biggest threat lurks right under their noses- under their very skin, in some literal cases. In short, any human society that isn't still wearing loincloths and banging rocks together is going to have a really bad day. The Necrons themselves seem to be aware of this too. On one occasion, a Necron force took [[The World Engine]] for a joyride and divebombed Mars. It wasn't exactly successful (meaning it was completely destroyed by the Solar Garrison), but they got robo-boots on the ground, and the fact that they were able to do it at all shook things up for the [[High Lords of Terra|High Lords]]. The question is why exactly they did this, given the old and new fluff for the 'Crons gives them dramatically different relationships with the C'tan. Some Necrons probably still worship the C'tan, so they could have been trying to either free or destroy it. Or [[Mephet'ran|manipulating the Imperium]] into dedicating more forces to protect it so the nids or Chaos don't let it out by accident. Freeing it might arguably be even worse for the Necrons than the Imperium. Necron suicide cult anyone?

Given that models have since been made of its shards it turns out it WAS sharded. SO maybe whats in Mars is the largest chunk? Was he sharded with the rest? or was his throwdown with Emps what did the deed? how much danger does a shard possess given its fearsome powers? lotta questions presented but not a lot answered.
