The named Necron Stratagem that can move up to five units to another visible part of the map, according to the faction deep dive.
A battlefield-wide movement tool
The Necron faction deep dive names Translocation Science as a Stratagem, or unlockable ability. Deep Silver says that activating it can teleport up to five units from anywhere on the battlefield to any other visible part of the map. That is an unusually specific public description: the ability is not merely called a teleport, it has a stated unit count and a visibility condition.
The article places Translocation Science inside a broader set of Necron movement tools. Canoptek Spyders can build Tomb Pylons that create a new patch of Power Matrix and act as translocation targets, while the Monolith has an Eternity Gate for units held in reserve at the Tomb Citadel. The sources distinguish those tools rather than collapsing them into one generic teleport rule.
The limits that are actually published
The confirmed limits in the sentence are up to five units and any other visible part of the map. The source does not state the ability’s cost, cooldown, unlock timing, whether unit types are excluded or how the effect behaves in every game mode. It also does not say that the ability can move structures or commanders outside the units described.
This makes Translocation Science a useful example of how a pre-release page should stay precise. The named Stratagem and its published movement description are confirmed; the economic and timing questions that would decide a real build are not. Until those are documented or observed in the released game, exact usage advice remains unconfirmed.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
