The Mephrit Dynasty are a Dynasty of the Necrons. They are known for only three things. The first is that they are literal next door neighbors to Baal and its inhabitants. The second is that they are renowned star-destroyers, their current territory is located in Ultima Segmentum. The third is that their Phaeron was destroyed whilst in stasis, leaving the dynasty currently leaderless.

Overview

During the War in Heaven, the Mephrit Dynasty specialised in stellar destruction, harnessing technology capable of turning stars supernova. The Silent King frequently turned to this dynasty to bring troublesome worlds to heel, even though most Necrontyr felt their methods ran counter to their codes of honorable warfare (Which is ironic given the Necrontyr's War with the Old Ones which can be summed up as a bunch of assholes shooting up an Old Folk's Home).

To this day, the Mephrit mastery over stellar phenomena is evident in their weaponry, which are powered by the energy of captive suns.

The Phaeron of the dynasty, Khyrek the Eternal, was lost during the Great Sleep (Which is again, ironic given his name); destroyed during his slumber by those pesky Eldar assassins, leaving the awakened dynasty leaderless.

This has led to the lesser nobility vying amongst themselves for power, each hoping to wrest control of the dynasty; overlord Zarathusa the Ineffable AKA the scary bastard with the giant orange scythe is currently poised the forefront of this politicking.

The territory of the dynasty is currently located in Ultima Segmentum, and includes the Tomb Worlds of Perdita and Qyrakotosh. Mephrit's dynastic symbol was originally intended to reflect the constellation which surrounded their crownworld; however, the march of time and entropy have left the current formation of the empire unrecognizable compared to its former shape.

Although not as large as the Oruscar Dynasty and the Nekthyst Dynasty, the Mephrit still has more screentime, information and relevance then either of those two.
