===Reanimation Protocols===
*{{Main|Reanimation Protocols}}
All Necrons possess sophisticated auto-repair systems (dubbed '''[[Reanimation Protocols]]''') throughout their exo-skeletal systems that can repair even the most crippling of damage. While this can keep them functioning constantly, should there be irreparable damage sustained, the Necron "phases out".{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|24b}} Both Powerful [[Translation Relay]]s will [[teleportation|teleport]] i.e. "translate"{{fn|61b}} their bodies and minds and their bodies are teleported to the nearest tomb complex or orbiting ship where they either remain in storage until repairs are made or a new body is forged. This act does, however, come at a cost as each act of transference leads to a decay in the Necron's engrams. As such, those Necrons that have "died" and phased out hundreds of times suffer the most for they become little more than automatons who have lost the memory of the creature that they used to be in life.{{Fn|2}} It is not Should the failure rates of Reanimation protocol get worse, such as from a perfect processdecay or poorly maintained [[Translation Relay, it may even result in increasing physical deformity and sometimes impairment, or worse, outright failure to capture their physical pattern for reconstruction - earning the necron a true death.{{fn|61b}} Reanimation protocols may also leave unsalvageable Necron remains are left behind.{{fn|59}}{{fn|60}} If a Necron loses too much '''Core-Flux''' from their core, they would also be unable to self-reconstruct, and need external assistance or at least teleportation. If deprived of teleportation and self-reconstruction, a Necron may die a true death{{fn|61a}}
