. "The Imhotep Dynasty was founded before the War in Heaven by Phaeron Szarasz, but since the Great Sleep has been under the control of Nemekh the Summoner. They became one of the smaller dynasties after the Great Sleep numbering roughly 500 active units. Unlike most other Necron dynasties, the Imhotep Dynasty are more reserved in their actions mostly due to Nemekh's unwillingness to irrationally enter wars and lose numbers. As a result, it is uncommon to see Necrons of the dynasty leave the Black Veil, a star system on the outer reaches of the galaxy, where the Crown World, Ripekh resides. Few ever enter the system due to it's abundance of Death Worlds and sporadic solar flares. Unlike most dynasties, the Imhotep Dynasty concerns it's own survival above reclaiming it's old territory and have been known to form temporary alliances with other races should circumstance deem it beneficial. Currently, the dynasty is known to hold 2 C'Tan Shards - those of Aza'gorod, the Nightbringer and Nyadra'zatha, the Burning One, though the latter is rarely seen utilised in battle and is instead used a thermal power source for various projects and experiments."@en . . .
