And incidentally... The Void Dragon isn't 'slumbering' beneath Mars, per se.

It's been IMPRISONED there by The Emperor.

The Emperor actually fought against The Void Dragon in Libya around 1200 C.E.

Because he couldn't destroy it, he arranged for it to be imprisoned on Mars.

(whether he imprisoned The Void Dragon on Mars in 2nd millennium, or a few centuries later when FTL was better understood, whose to say).

The awakening of the Void Dragon would be a catalysmic event that will change the realms of Warhammer 40k forever, when it takes place.

It'd be an event on par with the Golden Throne finally giving out and the Emperor perishing; the Primarches returning to the Imperium; or Abaddon the Despoiler breaking through the Cadian blockade.
