In the words of Aperture Science CEO Cave Johnson, "they through Science at a wall and it stuck"

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

Something like the DE webway portals mechanic would also work, creating a 'board edge' to bring reserves from. Ideally some kind of drop-podded gate that reserves could then enter through.
Given that the Necron fluff is soon to be in the same state as a new convict staring at his new cellmate, Bubba 'meat tenderizer' McWeems i'm not holding a lot of hope out for fluff consistency.
This has to contain one of the strangest analogies I've ever read.

It doesn't move. it teleports to another dimension and is replaced by that dimension's Monolith that just happens to be a few feet forward compared to our own dimension. then they switch back. To us it looks like the monolith is moving forward. in the other dimension it's always moving backward. If you think to hard about it your eardrums will burst.

And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole |
