'''Nodal Command''' is the [[Necron]]s' equivalent of a command hierarchy and organizational organisational structure.
== Overview ==
The legions of a [[Tomb World]] appear to have no permanent organizational organisational structure. Each battle, campaign and Harvest causes a specific response from the Tomb World's controlling program leading to an ever-changing chain of command.{{Fn|1}}
This is made possible by the Nodal Command system. A Nodal Command system allocates a hierarchy to all of the elements within it, and subsequently gives a greater operational, and decision-making, capacity to certain nodes before slaving lower ranking portions of the system to these nodes.{{Fn|1}}
In battle, [[Necron Lord]]s form the nodes of this structure and are assigned a hierarchical value which may change over time. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has been able to determine at least four levels present within the Nodal Command System: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum (however no Platinum-level commander has ever been encountered, and there is no evidence to suggest that the C'tan are Platinum-level nodes, as they do not interact with the Nodal Command structure in any way.){{Fn|1}}
As this hierarchy allows for simultaneous control of a large number of Necrons by a high ranking node, while still allowing independent reaction at the level of a Necron Warrior, it allows precise organization organisation of the Necron force as a whole while also allowing detached groups to analyze, and react to, unforeseen situations independently.

=== Primary Awakeners Group ===
This group consists of the Tomb Spyders and Scarabs that are the first to be activated during the awakening of a Tomb World.{{Fn|1}}
