I was reading through the Necron codex and I noticed an excerpt about a giant spherical anomaly below the galactic plane, which a hive fleet was maneuvering away from. Are there any more references to what this is (other than very bad for the IoM)?

Actual conversation from my stats class-
Student: Why is the denominator on that equation n-1?
Prof: n is very good, but n-1 is also very good.
GENERATION 5: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your sig and add 1 to the number after generation. Consider it a social experiment. |

Best guess is that is is the Dyson Sphere the Outsider (ctan) is hanging out it. It's never explicitly said, IIRC, but the hint-fu is strong..
If he ever feels like hatching it would be bad Juju for everyone

Necron's have weapons called World Engines. They're probably about the size of the Ep IV Death Star, except they use a variety of weapons to slowly lay waste to entire worlds as opposed to 1 super beam.

I had this horrible nightmare that no one would take on the second part of the quote and i'd have to answer myself in order to appease Alec Guinness' ghost.
Thanks mate!

It's the third Death Star. Vader sent it to an alternate dimension just before he turned good.
I'd guess at C'tan though. Won't matter unless they advance the plot again.

Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it. |
