We Are the Gods of a New World Order [Warhammer 50K ~ Warp God Simulator]

Honestly I don't know enough about the lore to say, though I assumed there was a serious conflict based on stuff other posters mentioned:

If I've formed the wrong understanding here as the Necrons aren't in conflict with the Life domain, I fully retract my objections.

... They're Necrontyr.

They're ugly and hideous but they're not literally undead. Even if they were, the presence of the Death domain does--in fact--allow VM to wrap her head around the undead (She just doesn't focus on that because it seems unnecessary)
 
On the more military side of things, I would like to point out that being able to stuff Lotus Star Reactors into just about everything large enough to host one (if we will be able to produce them in large enough numbers) will very likely combo pretty well with the Archlance Special Weapon, which the Plan Shaded Valley includes. Just pump more energy into whatever new lightning-weapon we would get, and fry those waves of mook-infantry. A very good thing for us, as our forces are somewhat weak in the sheer-numbers category because of the Warmaidens-Doctrine, and a lot of our enemies will be gunning for us in the near future.

VM needs to realize that she can help the Necrontyr, if she doesn't it could end badly for both sides.

    [X] Plan Minor Debts For Major Gains
    -[X] Provide your Spirit Binding Techniques (+2) You jam tentacles in your pilots? What's wrong with you! -- They're roots! -- Same difference! I could do better with a sympathetic link and a crown, no fuss, no muss, and no lewd bondage devices! -- They can get out whenever they want though! And anyway it's not lewd at all their uniforms don't let that happen!… -- it's the aesthetics of it that's the problem! (Auto-spends 1 favor Token next turn on Connection)
    -[X] Provide the Star Galleon Frame and assist in refitting it (+2) This is convenient, a little work replacing the command core, and I can turn this into a factory and residential ship. (A special action next turn will open up, requiring 3 Manpower Tokens, but no other rolls. Failing to take this will be treated as reneging)
    -[X] Teach an agricultural spell (+1) I'll admit, if you can do something to help grow food in space, that'll save a lot on our upkeep. (A special action next turn will open up, requiring 2 favor tokens but no other rolls. Failing to take this will be treated as reneging)
    -[X] Grant recruitment rights (+1) More than the ones I'm already poaching from the refugees? Well, more power to you I suppose, I'll never say no to more followers (Reduces recruitment considerably until the Azure Magus leaves)
    -[X] Request assistance in developing starships (-3) Oof, you don't ask for something small do you. You want me to kitbash an alien paradigm into a coherent shipbuilding tradition? I mean, I can, but that's going to be a tricky one (Provides Technology: Verdant Cult Voidcraft)
    -[X] Request an artificer spell (-2) Oiii, this is like, my thing, I know you're doing it through your fancy magic life stuff but if you're muscling in on my shtick I'm going to come after you! (Permits construction of Lotus Star Reactors without your personal oversight)
    -[X] Grant his request for an exhibition match (+2) Well, he wants a throwdown, your people can throw down pretty good you think, set up a nice place to fight and put a good show and maybe he'll go away? (Opens up a Special Kinetic Action next turn to challenge Prince Sendai and his household to a grand tournament. Failure to follow through is likely to result in him getting bored and leaving, negating the gain made here)
    -[X] Offer trading rights (+1) This… This should be harmless right? They just want some liquor? You don't need to watch them drink it oh you want to vomit… (Requires 1 Favor Token next turn to secure a large enough, sustainable supply)
    -[X] Offer Sanctuary (+1): Well, why not? They need a place to patch their stuff up and the materials to do so, we've got plenty of docking space after all! (Azure Dragoons will be granted sanctuary in your system. Should be safe--unless something follows them.)
    -[X] Offer Recruiting Rights (+2): They've gotten beaten up quite a bit, but not so much that they can't rebuild a bit. Give 'em the freedom to recruit anyone they like and that'll be looked on pretty nicely you think! (Azure Dragoons given access to the surface and permission to seek out new recruits among your non-cult citizens. May or may not cause friction you just don't know!)
    -[X] Offer auxiliaries (+1) This is a bad idea! No, no, no, Dana you can't go do this to me they're my people too don't make them go help an evil arthopod's hunting parties! (1 Manpower is committed for the foreseeable future as a small detachment of Flower Knights accompanies the Prince on his safari. They'll probably be returned, eventually)
    -[X] Segmentum Information (-1): Though disgraced, scattered and on the run, the Azure Dragoons are still more informed about the wider Galaxy than you are! Ask them about your corner of space, who the important people are and which ones are meanies that need some love and judgement! (Acquire out-of-date intel on the Segmentum. But hey, some intel is better than no intel!)
    -[X] Instructors (-2): If you think that might be a bit too spicy though, the fact remains that the Space Marines are almost certainly in the highest echelon of combat skill the galaxy has to offer. A few years with them drilling your cult's forces and aiding with your own craftsmen should go a long way to improving your war fighting potential! (Azure Dragoons serve as instructors for the Verdant Cult for the next few years, improving the stats of your forces and potentially producing new Special Rules. Should not be taken with Integrate, as these effects will naturally occur with Integrate)

[X]Plan Shaded Valley

I remember reading somewhere that one of the best ways to befriend someone is to be slightly indebted to them for a while - that way, they know they can come to you for something, and that gives you a chance to build on the relationship. That said, the only party I feel comfortable being slightly indebted to is our sister - neutral regard with the Necrontyr is probably the best state for getting VM over her aversion to those poor bug people, and integrating the Azure Dragoons would cause too much friction with our followers and be too much of an old-Chaos "SV Competance" approach, which we want to avoid due to how it'd shape the story that is VM's very being.
