History
The planet now known as Avarris was originally a Necron Tomb World of the Sautekh Dynasty. During the dormancy of the Necrons, the world was settled as an Imperial Knight World. In 975.M41, the Necrons began to reawaken, assailing the planet's inhabitants. However, the gauss technology of the aliens was ineffective against the ion shields used by the world's Knights, and with three Knightly houses able to bring these walkers to the field of battle, the rulers of Avarris are confident that the ongoing war will soon end in the Imperium's favour.
