The Pariah Nexus War rages across a cluster of star systems that the Necrons have transformed into a titanic engine of anti-psychic annihilation. By activating a network of ancient blackstone devices, the deathless legions have blanketed the region in a pall of soul-deadening null-energy, severing worlds from the warp, silencing the astronomican's light, and rendering psykers blind, mute, and dying.
Within the Nexus, the very fabric of the soul is under assault. The Necrons seek to perfect their dread technology, a weapon that could one day sever the entire galaxy from the immaterium and leave humanity's psychic defenders utterly powerless. The Chaos Space Marines too are drawn to contest the region, for the Dark Gods cannot abide a realm where their whispers cannot reach and their daemons cannot manifest, and so the traitor legions wage their own war against the metal tide.
The Imperium fights in a nightmare of isolation, its armies cut off from reinforcement and its sorcerous weapons rendered inert. Blade and bolter must suffice where the powers of the mind fail. The Pariah Nexus stands as a chilling glimpse of the Necrons' ultimate ambition, a galaxy of silent worlds and stolen souls, and every servant of the Emperor who fights there does so knowing that to lose is to see the light of the soul itself extinguished forever.
