Song of Oblivion
The Song of Oblivion is the massive city-sized personal warship of Szarekh, Silent King of the Necrons.[1]
History
After the disastrous consequences of agreeing to undergo the C'tan's Biotransference, Szarekh decided to exile himself aboard the Song of Oblivion. As the rest of the Necrons underwent the Great Sleep, the Silent King sent the Oblivion into the void and took many of his own dynasty with him..[1]
The Oblivion contained stasis-crypts, which the dynasty used, but they awoke in regular cycles to crew and garrison Szarekh's vast ship. This changed, however, when the Silent King encountered the Tyranids' Hive Fleets and realized the threat they posed to the Necrons' plans to undo the Biotransference. This led him to end his exile and Szarekh had the Oblivion travel back to his people, in order to prepare them for what was to come.[1]
