Default Necron Dynasty Generator

Inspired by all the other generators, I decided to make something in the same spirit for Necrons.

GOALS
D6
What is it that your Dynasty seeks to accomplish in the galaxy?
1-3: Domination- This Dynasty seeks to crush all who oppose them through sheer might and superiority.
4: Unification- This Dynasty seeks to unify the Necrons under a single banner.
5: Apotheosis- This dynasty seeks to return to the Time of Flesh. This Dynasty is automatically Technology on the Role chart.
6: Loyalist- Roll a D6. On a 2+, this Dynasty is secretly loyal to a C'tan. On a 1, this house is openly loyal, announcing their gods openly. Roll on the C'tan table for either result. In addition, this Dynasty is automatically Isolationist on the Political chart.

ROLE
D20
What role did this dynasty play in the grand scheme of Necrontyr politics?
1-5: Political- Preference to Lords
6-10: Military- Preference to Immortals
11-13: Construction- Preference to Wraiths, Spyders, and Scarabs
14-16: Technology- Preference to Crypteks
17: Enforcement- Preference to Praetorians and Stalkers
18: Manufacture- Preference to Monoliths, Catacomb Command and Annihilation Barges
19: Fleet- Preference to Night and Doom Scythes
20: Custom- Make it up!

MILITARY MIGHT
D6
In addition to the preference above, roll for an additional preference below. If the preference rolled is the same as the one above, the specific preference becomes the dynasty's obsession.
1- Lords
2- Immortals
3- Wraiths, Spyders, and Scarabs
4- Crypteks
5- Monoliths and Barges
6- Scythes

C'TAN (Optional unless noted otherwise in previous rolls)
D6
Some Necron dynasties, through lack of scruples, acts of desperation, or even blasphemous worship, employ C'tan shards. If Loyalist was rolled, the C'tan shard is also an object of worship and the leaders of the Dynasty will exhibit traits of their chosen master.
1: Nightbringer- Violent and hateful
2: Deceiver- Cunning and clever
3: Outsider- Insane
4: Void Dragon- Destructive and arrogant
5: Endless Swarm- Vengeful
6: Custom C'tan

POLITICAL MANEUVERING
D20
How does your particular Dynasty interact with the rest of Necron-kind?
1-5: Subservience- This dynasty is a loyal protectorate or subordinate of another, larger house. Roll on the Governance table.
6-10: Honor- This dynasty seeks to rise in fame through might of blade and victory in honorable battle.
11-14: Conqueror- This dynasty seeks to gain might by bringing other factions into its fold, either through violence or the threat thereof.
15-17: Backstabber- This Dynasty uses deceit and treachery to climb atop the corpses of its host into power. Roll on the Governance table.
18-19: Isolationist- This Dynasty seeks no contact with other Necrons, either through wariness or disinterest. You may not roll on the Governance chart.
20: Mediator- This Dynasty often oversees the tenuous treaties set forth by other Dynasties and as such seeds its own positive relations.

GOVERNANCE (Optional unless noted otherwise in previous rolls)
D6
What powerful Dynasty does your Dynasty serve, if any?
1-3: Sautekh Dynasty
4-5: Oruscar Dynasty
6: Other Dynasty

HEROES
D6
Roll up to D6 heroes for this section.
Who is this hero?
1: Warlord
2: Cryptek
3: Praetorian
4: Spy
5: General
6: Select one of your choosing and roll again!

What are they like? (Do not roll if Loyalist was rolled- Instead, use C'tan results)
1-2: Violent
3-4: Noble
5-6: Underhanded

What happened to this hero?
1: They were killed during the War in Heaven.
2: They were killed during the rebellion against the C'tan.
3: They were infected with the Flayer virus, and exiled themselves to places unknown.
4: Their stasis tomb was found mysteriously vacant upon the tomb-world's reawakening.
5-6: This hero persists to this day.

TOMB WORLD
D20
What state was the Tomb World in when the Dynasty reawoke?
1-6: Normal.
7-10: Astral drift- The planet has moved out of alignment with its star, and has hurtled into dark-space completely, rendering it isolated, hidden, and well-defended, but difficult to traverse from/to.
11-12: Tectonic change- The planet's crust has moved, destroying some structures and burying others.
13-14: Exterminatus- A failed exterminatus was executed, resulting in the damage of some internal components, especially those closest the planet's core.
15-17: Inhabited- Another race has unwittingly taken residence on the surface of the planet. Roll a D6.
-1-2: Humans
-3-4: Orks
-5: Tau
-6: Other xenos race of your choosing
18: Plundered- Surface structures have been looted and wrecked, and some automated units have been destroyed, causing the tomb to awaken more slowly and with fewer resources than planned.
19: Boosted- The planet had a sudden explosion of surface growth from an asteroid impact carrying alien flora. The raw energy created from the breakdown of this matter has sped the Tomb World's awakening and given it extra resources.
20: Reroll, with an additional D6!

AWAKENING
D6
When did this tomb world start to awaken?
1-2: M38
3-5: M39
6: M40

ENEMIES
D20
Who is this Dynasty's most hated enemy?
1-5: Eldar
6-8: Humans
9-11: Orks
12-13: Dark Eldar
14: Tau
15: Tyranids
16-18: Chaos
19: Other Necrons
20: Minor Xenos race

ATTITUDE TOWARDS NON-NECRONS
D6
How does this Dynasty view non-Necrons?
1-3: Disdain and hatred, only worthy of being destroyed
4-5: Superiority, viewing them as possible slaves or research subjects
6: Haughty fascination, seeing them as possible bargaining tools

TECHNOLOGICAL WONDER
D6
What special tool does this Dynasty possess that keeps it in power?
1: Null Field- The planet and the areas nearby it are shrouded from all warp-spawned power.
2: Obliteration Cannon- The faction possesses one of the few remaining devices used to shatter the C'tan, a world-obliterating weapon.
3: Tomb Stalker- One of the few worlds to have a Tomb Stalker, a colossal spider-like titan that dwarfs mountains.
4: Phase Matrix- The world can phase in and out of reality at a whim, shielding it from attack and discovery.
5: Astral Bridger- This device "pinches" space, enabling ships to move between entire systems in a few moments, granting their fleet unparallelled maneuverability.
6: Custom device- Make your own device, or roll again!

Nice! Here's what I got:

The Atescrakh Dynasty

Goal: Domination
Role: Technology
Military Might: Crypteks
C’tan: Custom
Maneuvering: Subservience
Governance: Sautekh
Heroes: 1
Type: General
Personality: Violent
Fate: Flayer Virus
Tomb World: Inhabited by Orks
Awakening: M38
Enemy: Eldar
Attitude towards non-Necrons: Superiority
Device: Null Field

The Atescrakh Dynasty was, before the Great Sleep, an unparalleled technological power. Nevertheless, they were outmaneuvered politically and invaded by a fleet of several combined Dynasties. To survive, they asked for aid from the Sautekh dynasty, which the Sautekh gave under the condition that the Atescrakh would become their vassals. Phaeron Atemhun accepted, but had ever since been searching for a way to escape the Sautekh’s chains and return the Atescrakh to independence and dominance once more.

Their greatest general during the War in Heaven was Hataresh the Butcher. His talent for war and utter lack of mercy led to many victories. When the Atescrakh joined the Sautekh in turning against the C’tan, Hataresh was in the front lines once more, armed with a personal Phase-Net used to capture and torture the C’tan shards. He participated in the shattering the C’tan known as the Statis, an entity with an unparalleled power to calm, and the Dynasty uses the Statis’ shards to this day.

During the Atescrakh’s Great Sleep, the Eldar of the Alaitoc Craftworld introduced an infection of the Flayer virus. The infection failed, as upon awakening Hataresh led the infected into an exodus, on an “Eternal Crusade”, thus assuring quarantine. Nevertheless, the Atescrakh hold an extreme grudge against the Eldar to this day.

During the Sleep the surface of the Atescrakh’s Crownworld had become infested with Orks. As soon as the Necrons awakened in M38, however, the world’s huge Null Field came online, generating a sphere encompassing several systems that isolated the Warp off completely. The Orks, their psychic abilities gone, became dormant and even peaceful, and were soon enslaved by the Atescrakh’s technology. They have since built further Null-fields to enslave more Ork worlds, and Phaeron Atemhun views that species’ labor as a fundamental pillar in ensuring the Dynasty’s expansion.
