Affhis

Affhis refers to a fictional species of humanoid creatures originating from the *Warhammer 40,000* universe, specifically within the *Necron* lore. These beings are remnants of an ancient civilization known as the Affh, a pre-Necron species that once thrived on the planet Affh before its destruction. The Affh were a technologically advanced race that developed a complex society, though their civilization ultimately collapsed due to internal strife and external threats.

The Affhis are described as tall, gaunt humanoids with elongated limbs and a skeletal appearance, often depicted with pale, ashen skin. Their most distinctive feature is their elongated, finger-like appendages, which they use for intricate manual labor and craftsmanship. Unlike the Necrons, who later adopted their technology, the Affhis were not immortal but possessed advanced bioengineering and cybernetic augmentation, allowing them to extend their lifespans and enhance their physical capabilities.

After the fall of their civilization, the Affhis were enslaved by the Necrons, who repurposed their knowledge and technology to fuel their own ascension. Some Affhis were assimilated into Necron society, while others were left to perish or were used as laborers in the construction of Necron monuments and war machines. Their legacy endures in the form of ancient ruins, artifacts, and the occasional surviving Affhi who may still wander the cosmos, either as free agents or under Necron control.

In *Warhammer 40,000* lore, the Affhis serve as a historical footnote, illustrating the Necrons' predatory nature and their exploitation of lesser civilizations. Their story highlights themes of technological hubris, societal collapse, and the cyclical nature of conquest in the universe. While not a major faction, the Affhis remain a significant cultural and historical reference within the broader narrative of the Necrons and their dominion over the galaxy.
