| - From this "Tesseract Singularity Chamber" the Tesseract Ark can siphon and unleash storm-winds of particle energy, the stolen fire of suns, and shatter the earth and crumble bastions alike with seismic tremors. A Tesseract Ark also exhibits extreme durability with maximal resistance to projectile and energy weapons fire. This protection is attributed to non-Euclidean function Necron material technology in combination with terradyne-magnitude controlled gravity distortions emanating from the vehicle; and unbeknownst to the Imperium, this effect is also purposefully induced from the contained singularity to better protect the Ark from harm. Imperial tacticians have learned that when encountered, a Tesseract Ark is best engaged at long-range with saturation ordnance/airstrikes or at medium range with super-heavy battlefield assets. If forced into close-range engagements, the fatality level of assaulting Imperial troops is likely to be extreme and victory is not guaranteed regardless of the attacker’s strategic advantage. Several Tesseract Arks were used by the nobility of the Necron Maynarkh Dynasty during the battles that consumed the sector capital world of Amarah in the Orpheus Sector of Segmentum Tempestus. The Tesseract Ark is one of the rarer Necron war machines encountered by Mankind, for its manufacture is the purview of only the most adept of the Necron Crypteks. It is also one of the most powerful, containing at its heart a contained singularity torn from the core of a dying star. The Tesseract Ark can manipulate this singularity for a variety of battlefield effects, often with deadly consequences for the enemy. A Tesseract Ark’s open and skeletal form is held aloft by a sophisticated anti-gravitic engine, which allows it to hover over any intervening terrain that might otherwise hamper its movement. Its powerful reaction thrusters drive it at a speed that belies its bulk, whilst the sensor-node mounted above the crewman’s seat allows it to better find its cowering foes.
