	The Thanatekh swore revenge against the races that had destroyed their worlds; against the foresworn brothers who had dragged them kicking and screaming into a war they had not wanted. As a part of their crusade for vengeance the Thanatekh scour the universe for all life, capturing and experimenting on all that they find in the hopes that they may one day find the key to undoing the horrors of the C’tan.

	('''999.M41''') The Thanatekh returned to the ruins of their crown city on Xan’dugua in an attempt to salvage what was left of their former empire. Amongst the ruins they hoped to find precious bits of their culture and perhaps even data that would allow them to restore the city to its former glory. Instead, they found an infestation of [[Ork\|Orks]] squabbling with [[Imperial_Guard\|Imperial filth]]. While the Thanatekh would normally be content to let the carnage play out and obliterate the remnants of the victor’s side, they could not risk the loss of irreplaceable data and artifacts to collateral damage. Now they seek to cleanse their world of the infection that has taken root on the surface so that they may reclaim their birthright.

	Upon hearing rumors of the immortality offered by [[C%27tan#Mephet.27ran.2C_The_Deceiver\|Mephet'ran]], many Necrontyr willingly gave themselves to biotransference. Sick of their old, frail bodies many ran in droves for the power and victory promised by their new forms. A nation of philosophers and free thinkers, the Thanatekh had pondered the price of immortality and had aeons ago rejected the notion as a sorrowful, meaningless existence. Without death, there could be no appreciation for life – however short it may be. But mounting pressure from other dynasties combined with a genuine desire to see and conclusion to the seemingly endless war pushed the Thanatekh dynasty to give themselves over to biotransference.

But mounting pressure from other dynasties combined with a genuine desire to see and conclusion to the seemingly endless war pushed the Thanatekh dynasty to give themselves over to biotransference.

	Reborn in their indestructible forms they wielded devastating arms previously inaccessible to their feeble Necrontyr forms. With their new forms and the collective power of the C’tan they obliterated the Old Ones and many of the races they had created. Entire star systems were voided of life as the Old Ones were systematically eradicated. Worlds burned in their wake, razed to the ground with nothing more than the sounds of otherworldly screams drowned by thunder and lightning. As the enslaver plague took its toll on the Old Ones and victory was finally assured, they turned on their former gods who had taken so much from them. Shattered, trapped, and utterly annihilated, the C’tan were driven into oblivion by the Necrons. Commanded to sleep before they could give thought to their new existence, the Thanatekh returned to their star system where they would sleep for the next 60 million years.

	When they were finally revived by the Triarch Praetorians, the Thanatekh awoke to find their once-glorious dynasty in ruins. Spires that had once reached for the stars lay broken and defeated, reduced to a fleeting memory by orbital bombardment. Great reliefs and murals that lined the city walls were defaced and scarred by weapon batteries. Basilicas of immeasurable beauty reduced to rubble by artillery. The greatest blow however, came when scientists and scholars found themselves unable to rebuild their world. [[grimdark\|The passion and creativity that had burned bright in their souls was nowhere to be found.
