The mysterious pylons of Cadia have stood since long before the coming of Man to this remote world. But their ultimate purpose remains a mystery. It is currently believed by the savants of the Imperium of Man and the Eldar Craftworlds that the pylons were erected over 65 million standard years ago by the Necrons during their ancient war with the Old Ones to serve as a defence against the psychic abilities of the Warp which are the Necrons' only real vulnerability. The pylons essentially act as anti-psychic field emitters, restricting the activity of the Immaterium in proximity to them.

abstract	The mysterious pylons of Cadia have stood since long before the coming of Man to this remote world. But their ultimate purpose remains a mystery. It is currently believed by the savants of the Imperium of Man and the Eldar Craftworlds that the pylons were erected over 65 million standard years ago by the Necrons during their ancient war with the Old Ones to serve as a defence against the psychic abilities of the Warp which are the Necrons' only real vulnerability. The pylons essentially act as anti-psychic field emitters, restricting the activity of the Immaterium in proximity to them. The Tech-priests of the Imperium's Adeptus Mechanicus have hypothesised that the pylons on Cadia exert some effect over the Immaterium, rendering it calm and creating the unusual zone of space-temporal stability known as the Cadian Gate, that enables ships to travel through the only known navigable route in and out of the Eye of Terror into realspace. Recently, it has become clear to Imperial savants that the Pylons can be reduced to ruin by overloading their capability to hold the Empyrean at bay with massive amounts of Warp-spawned enemies, such as a massive incursion of daemons into realspace at one time. When the first signs of the coming Black Crusade began, as Warp Storm Baphomael expanded and began to engulf the edges of the Cadian System, of the 5,180 known intact pylons, at least 1,292 began to emit a psycho-temporal resonance. In the wake of the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41, Abaddon the Despoiler intends to overload the Pylon network on Cadia itself to allow the Eye of Terror to envelop the worlds of the Imperium, allowing the Warp Storm to encompass the entirety of the galaxy. This outcome is known to the Forces of Chaos as the Crimson Path, for without the Cadian Pylons even Terra itself runs the risk of being swept up in the Eye of Terror.
