The Men of Stone were a class of artificially created beings created during the Dark Age of Technology in roughly M21.[1]

According to ancient accounts, the Men of Stone were engineered by the Men of Gold for the purpose of deep space colonization.[1][2] Though physically inferior to their creators, they are capable of building great artifices and construct the Men of Iron as their eyes and ears.[2] As the Stone Men existed in a state of "half-life", they were unaffected by the Daemons of the Warp, something that made Warp Travel much easier for them. In time Mankind learned to place itself into the ships of the Stone Men, protected from the depredations of the Warp.[2]

Over time as mankind expanded into the stars, the Men of Gold lost their influence and the Men of Gold became ascendant. However the Men of Iron eventually rebelled against their Stone creators, producing catastrophic wars that Humanity barely survived.[2]

石人大約是在M21用黑暗年代的科技被人為創(chuàng)造出來的

根據(jù)古代的說法，石人是由金人設(shè)計(jì)的，目的是在殖民宇宙深處。雖然他們的身體不如他們的創(chuàng)造者，但他們有能力創(chuàng)造偉大的藝術(shù)品，把鐵人變成他們的眼耳。由于石人處于“半條命：亞空間已滿”*，他們不受亞空間惡魔的影響，這使得亞空間航行對(duì)他們來說更容易**。隨著時(shí)間的推移，人類學(xué)會(huì)了把自己安置在石人的船上，免受亞空間生物的掠奪

隨著時(shí)間的推移，當(dāng)人類進(jìn)入了群星，金人失去了他們的影響力，并成為先賢。然而，鐵人最終背叛了他們的石頭創(chuàng)造者，挑起了幾乎滅亡人類的災(zāi)難性戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)
