Star Dragon?
The only "dragon" I can think of is the Void Dragon, hope this helps.

He doesn't really have a corporeal form.

Codex Necrons identifies it as The Dragon.
The internet warped that into Void Dragon somehow. You won't find even one GW produced source calling it that.

I saw something on warseer pointing to a story called "The cripple and the Dragon" being the source of 'Void' Dragon. http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5503273 It's not something I can remember hearing of before that and scanning the story it doesn't ring a bell.. http://www.freewebs.com/danxv/ Feels fan-fictiony to me. I'd love to know if the talk of the name comming from some Eldar fluff is true - Any fluff savants or Eldar players care to chime in? Just before some friendly Dakka fluff nazi jumps in: I prefer the name Void Dragon. I'm not trying to argue that that is the actual name of one of the C'tan. I am asking if there is any basis to the Eldar link out of curiosity and love of fluff.

I always thought the Void Dragon was something to do with Eldar, mostly because of the "Void dragon pheonix hunter" that forgeworld proposes. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Eldar/VOID-DRAGON-PHOENIX.html

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

Void Dragons are an Eldar corsair fleet.

Yeah I know about the Eldar Void Dragon Phoenix hunter but I was wondering if any of the C'tan are referenced as the 'Void Dragon' at any point?

Not the 'machine spirit', but rather the Omnissiah himself/itself.
Of course, that seems to be the belief of a rather underground sect of the Mechanicus, but who knows how far [high?] it goes.

It was dubbed the "Void Dragon" by the Eldar. It was in the GW article Dawn of the C'Tan that outlined the mythology(?) cycles of the Eldar and Necrons.
There was a time, before even the birth of Humanity, when the Eldar fought hard to stop the works of the Necron gods, who they called Yngir. One of these, the most powerful of its kind, was exterminating the Eldar. They named it the Void-Dragon, Oblivion itself, a figure of wanton destruction and devastation in Eldar mythology. It had such mastery over the material realm that its warriors were practically invincible. Just one of its servants could slaughter hundreds of Eldar before falling, only to rise once more. They could channel lightning into their foes, and it is said the battlefields of that time were thick with the charred remains of those that dared oppose them.

In the book Mechanicum (Horus Heresy series) it mentions a "Dragon" in the Noctus Labrynthus on Mars that inspired most of the Imperium's tech. Also I own the Necron Codex and it says one time some Necrons went to Mars for unknown reasons but got destroyed.
