As with all known Necron vessels, Shroud-class Light Cruisers possess an unknown form of drive technology that allows the ship to undertake interstellar travel without the need to enter the Warp. The Shroud-class' drive technology eliminates the spacecraft's inertia, allowing it travel at extreme speeds and with extreme acceleration, whilst also giving the spacecraft an agility that few other ships can match. In truth, however, Shroud-class vessels, like all Necron spacecraft, primarily rely upon the use of Dolmen Gates to serve as portals into the Webway, which allows them to cross the vastness of space without resorting to the use of the Warp since the undying Necrons possess no psykers.

  • As with all known Necron vessels, Shroud-class Light Cruisers possess an unknown form of drive technology that allows the ship to undertake interstellar travel without the need to enter the Warp. The Shroud-class' drive technology eliminates the spacecraft's inertia, allowing it travel at extreme speeds and with extreme acceleration, whilst also giving the spacecraft an agility that few other ships can match. In truth, however, Shroud-class vessels, like all Necron spacecraft, primarily rely upon the use of Dolmen Gates to serve as portals into the Webway, which allows them to cross the vastness of space without resorting to the use of the Warp since the undying Necrons possess no psykers. Shroud-class vessels excel at the task of fleet reconaissance and are often deployed as the advance scouts for a Necron assault force, as they are especially stealthy vessels. A Shroud-class Light Cruiser's hull shape is a further refinement of normal Necron designs, making it very hard to detect using Imperial sensor technology; so hard, in fact, that orbital mines will even fail to activate when a Shroud-class vessel passes. Shroud-class warships are also equipped with superior sensors which are capable of relaying information gleaned to the rest of a Necron fleet, making them the Necrons' vessel of choice for long-range reconaissance. The Imperial Navy has designated the Shroud-class to be a grave threat to their installations, for if they can penetrate the formidable defences of Mars with ease, as they did in 998.M41, then there is no Imperial base which can be considered safe from Necron penetration.
