The Second Battle of Damnos was fought between the Imperium and Necrons in 999.M41.[1]

Overview

Twenty-five years after the original Necron conquest of the world, Marneus Calgar returns at the head of a massive force of Ultramarines, Imperial Guard, and Deathwatch. Though the Imperials suffer punishing casualties, they keep pushing despite the Necrons rising from the earth time and time again. As the battle reached its height the Necrons under the Necron Lord known as The Undying unleashed the might of their Baleful Necropolis, a tomb complex which emits devastating blasts of entropic energy.[1]

Only the desperate actions of Calgar himself sees the Necropolis destroyed and the Transcendent C'tan within set loose from its cage. Utter carnage followed, as the wrathful god was unleashed by both armies. Only a well-timed Vortex Grenade by Cato Sicarius was able to obliterate the C'tan entirely. In the aftermath the worlds Necrons are laid low, their leaders slain and their resurrection made impossible through the destruction of their stasis-crypts.[1]
