The Mephrit Dynasty are a Dynasty of the Necrons.[1a] Renowned star-destroyers,[2a] their current territory is located in Ultima Segmentum;[2b] their phaeron was destroyed while in stasis, leaving the dynasty currently leaderless.[2a]
Overview
During the War in Heaven, the Mephrit Dynasty specialised in stellar destruction, harnessing technology capable of turning stars supernova. The Silent King frequently turned to this dynasty to bring troublesome worlds to heel, even though most Necrontyr felt their methods ran counter to their codes of honourable warfare. To this day, the Mephrit mastery over stellar phenomena is evident in their weaponry, which are powered by the energy of captive suns.[2a]
The phaeron of the dynasty, Khyrek the Eternal, was lost during the Great Sleep; destroyed during his slumber by Eldar assassins, leaving the awakened dynasty leaderless. This has led to the lesser nobility vying amongst themselves for power, each hoping to wrest control of the dynasty; overlord Zarathusa the Ineffable is currently poised the forefront of this politicking.[2a]
The territory of the dynasty is currently located in Ultima Segmentum, and includes the Tomb Worlds of Perdita and Qyrakotosh.[2b] Mephrit's dynastic symbol was originally intended to reflect the constellation which surrounded their crownworld; however, the march of time and entropy have left the current formation of the empire unrecognisable compared to its former shape.[2a]
