That would pretty much answer the question of how they actually work and likely to why they built them where they did. To my knowledge the Necron have not been known for the ability of foresight at all to know the importance of Cadia in the future, but do we really know enough about them at all to say one way or the other? I would lean towards the idea that their tech detected the area around Cadia to be more susceptible for some reason than others to influence and so more where built... | |

I don't think we know exactly why or how they work, but they hold back the warp and keep the warp from influencing real space more than it does. This is why Abaddon took time to destroy them on Cadia, to allow the warp an unprotected gateway to real space. To date, I don't think humanity knows enough about the warp to understand why they were erected in the locations they were, but I am sure the Necrons detected something to determine the prime locations to build them... | |
