	Imperial Historians in-universe speculate that Port Maw, an artificial planet discovered during [[Horus Heresy\|The Great Crusade]] and the largest Imperium star port in the [[Battlefleet Gothic\|Gothic Sector]], was a botched or abandoned Necron world engine project. Currently they don't have any real evidence for the theory besides the fact that the area is filled with other old Necron artifacts such as the Cadian pylons and the [[Blackstone Fortress\|blackstone fortresses]].

	It's quite possible there was a World Engine in, of all places, '''SOL ITSELF!''' Sedna was referred in imperial records as a "false world" inhabited by an unknown Xenos race. It also took massive effort to destroy, as the Imperium needed EIGHT Legions to defeat the Xenos presence there. There's a high possibility that those "xenos" might've been Necrons. Sedna's also over twice the size of Borsis, with a ~1000 km diameter. As the records about the Sedna Campaign have been lost and forgotten, the possibility that the Imperium contacted and fought the Necrons 10,000 years before [[Sanctuary 101]] cannot be discarded.

	The [[Imperium]] got its act together uncharacteristically promptly, and sent the whole sector's fleet, and detachments from fifteen Space Marine chapters, including the [[Ultramarines]], the [[Astral Knights]], the [[Invaders]], the [[Blood Angels]] and the [[Aurora Chapter]] to head off the ''World Engine'' at '''Safehold''' before the Necron punks could get any further.

	Now, the main problem with the assault was that the ''Giant Ball of Haetraep'' had ~~<s>~~the Necron equivalent of Void Shields~~</s>~~ some kind of force field unique to it (it is unknown what this technology is but it is certainly '''not''' void shields.~~) it~~ was apparently so powerful that not even ''that many'' ships could do anything to it. No torpedoes, no Drop Pods, not even Nova Cannons could touch the thing. It also blocked all teleportation attempts, killing the three full squads of Terminators the Invaders sent to infiltrate it. All the while, the Necrons happily blasted away at the Imperial fleet, destroying and crippling dozens of ships.

	Point is, no matter which version you read, it's fuckawesome final act of FUCK YOU meltabomb sacrifice. With his last act, Chapter Master Artor Amhrad had both ended the Astral Knights Chapter, and saved the Imperium from this unstoppable foe. Oh, and in the second version, the last Astral Knight, a librarian whose mission was to record everything in his mind so when the Inquisition found his corpse they would know what happened, vowed to the C'tan the Imperium would hunt him down too, because [[Humanity Fuck Yeah\|that's how imperials roll]].

	The after-mission report was similarly filled with win. The fleet remained in orbit for several weeks after, not because they were searching for any remaining Necrons, mind you. No, they were letting the Adeptus Mechanicus ''actually sift through the wreckage for useful stuff.'' And, the ~~Ultramarines~~ salvaged the wreck of the ''Tempestus'' themselves, towing it down to make planetfall on the recently-harvested Dead World '''Safehold''', to raise an Imperial Shrine ''inside the wreck'' dedicated to ''each'' of the last 772 Marines of the Astral Knights Chapter who fought and died to cripple the World Engine. Every one of them got a personal statue inside the shrine. And despite the fact that the world is totally deserted save for only about nine scavengers that still live on the entire planet to this day, the shrine is personally guarded by ''volunteers'' from each of the 14 Space Marine chapters that fought alongside the Astral Knights. Fucking. Metal.		The after-mission report was similarly filled with win. The fleet remained in orbit for several weeks after, not because they were searching for any remaining Necrons, mind you.
