Hm
Maybe we can use our human auxiliarys to help infiltrate the higher ranks? Maybe give them an upgraded ship or 2 and get them to say that they're refugees? Idk im just spitballing

Well looking only at the numbers, 80Dc is 80Dc. Might as well aim high.
Only navy personnel would have a Imperial battleship. And former navy personnel would betray us in a heartbeat for the Imperium. We need a much longer time before we can feasibly trust human auxiliary, especially against their former allies.

The capital of the sector is Tarsov in the Sub sector of the same name. The closest thing to a "regional headquarters" would be segmmentum command....Which as you are in segmmentum solar...is Terra
It would however take a couple of years to even get to Terra due to how slow your drives are

Yeah, not into trying to negotiate peace with the Imperium. It's not liable to work, and we won't have the opportunity to raid or expand later. The closes thing to peace we can expect is for something else to come up while we fortify our gains.

We can get a peace, just like how the Tau got one and how other Imperial Protectorate species got one. Furthermore, we can and will raid in the interim using our captured ships. That and letting us freely pump everything into consuming our conquests and upgrading our gains through the stellar forge. Finally, we can build a Dolamon Gate for expansion among our fellow Necrons, where we can spend our ships freely once more.

Peace with the Imperium will be a very difficult thing to achieve, we have no bargaining chips, are far weaker than the Imperium and we're too close to Terra and theres no large threats like the Tyranids that can give us a temporary peace like the Tau, nothing short of a miracle will get the Imperium to even consider negotiating with us
As for the Admech... they do like their tech, and there are plenty of forge worlds that might be willing to trade resources for certain services and samples of technology
But at the same time, they're too dangerous for us to interact with on a large scale
For now i reckon we take a page out of the Tau's book and do things slow, steady and above all, quiet
Trade with planetary governors, build ourselves up, research black immortals (Space marine boarders will be our bane if we dont get the BI's) and make sure the Imperium doesnt notice us in their back garden
Hell maybe we can even edit administratum records to 'Forget' a few systems, errors like this happen frequently, and when supplies stop coming to these worlds we step in and offer help

The biggest problem is that we are to close to Terra. If you believe that we cannot negotiate with the Imperium then we are doomed to failure. Because we simply cannot stand against a Imperial Crusade, which will be called on us if we don't look for a peace treaty. Furthermore, the Imperium is already aware of our presence, trying to law low at this point will end in failure.

Random 3am question
@Lonkas Seeing as how we are in Segmentum Solar is there a chance that we might find the Voyager 1 and 2 probes (The probes that have left our solar system) and if theres anything particularly interesting that we might find on the golden discs that they carry (Specifically anything pointing to possible Necrontyr involvement in early humanity's culture)?
Speaking of, what happened to those probes in 40k? Were they mentioned at all?

Firing on the last comatose survivors of their race from the webway into the warp. Though there were always rumours of survivors among the eldar
Anything's possible I suppose, though in my mind it's far more likely that the federation chased them down and put them in a museum or something
As far as I'm ware they're never mentioned

[X] The Final Push For Peace
- [X] Take all ships out of mothball
-[X] Subjugate worlds
We have a present and immediate problem, in that we do not have sufficient resources to support our forces. While we have the ability, point our fleet at an enemy outpost and lay waste to its defenders. Claim the world and its workforce for your own and have it pay tribute to us. (can be taken multiple times)
-- [X] Sivana with all active ships + Bane
-2x[X ] Recruit and train a force of Sirano Marines
The battles of Daeloth revealed a key weakness in our ability to defend against boarding actions. The Warrior and Immortal Cohorts aboard our smaller vessels were simply too doctrinal and inflexible to react swiftly and decisively to surprise attacks from unforeseen vectors. Utilising knowledge gained in our eradication of the Krork from our world it would seem that recruiting specialised void soldiers from the Sirano and equipping them appropriately would fill this gap in our doctrine. Though having them aboard a ship would be costly.
