Cairn-class Tomb Ship

Cairn-class Tombships are the largest Necron starships that the Imperium of Man has encountered to date. Large and incredibly heavily-armed, Tombships are more than a match for the Imperial Navy's battleships. Fortunately for the Necrons' enemies, Tombships are also very rare, having only been encountered seven times in the 41st Millennium since the Necrons' reemergence from hibernation, according to Imperial records. Each time, the Tombship was part of a large Necron force that included at least three Scythe-class Harvest Ships. All of the Tombships thus far encountered by the Imperium have been of the same design, which is indicative of a starship that was developed to the pinnacle of its design many millions of years ago. There has as yet been no indication of the existence of a type of Tombship other than the Cairn-class save for the single rumour of a Necron starship larger than a Space Hulk that is alleged to have engaged an Ork fleet, though this remains unconfirmed Ork hearsay. Imperial agents are eagerly seeking more information about this possible threat.
