>>40480141
We should see if sky based transportation is viable, if not then we go with the battle transport train of glory idea.

>>40480141

Initiate massive train works then. Make sure each train car has a large autocannon mounted on top for protection.

>>40480141
Well it would take a considerable effort to do so and the construction crews would need to be protected. I think that it is a good idea but it will need a lot of backing to be completed.

>>40480257

We can convert the trains for economic production once the civilian populace has finished traveling.

We could have a elite force guarding the trains from enemy attacks.

And they shall be called....THE CONDUCTORS!

>>40480289
This is true but the system will not be quick to build, though the long term effects are very good.

>>40480311

I agree but it's probably a good investment over all, trains are pound for pound the cheapest means of transport so we'll end up saving time and money in the last run.

>>40480339

You decide to sign off to begin construction of a train railway system. Now you need to decide the route.
>We have 3 cities on the southern continent and 1 on the northern one. We could build a bridge connecting the continents, but this would significantly lengthen construction time. Here is a list of our cities and their main export:
>Valencia Prime: Fishing
>Valencia Secundus: Ceramite
>Valencia Tertia: Farm meat and plants
>Valencia Quattor: So far, nothing, but this is the Hive City and thus new.
>Mechanicus Forge: Not a city but might be a good stopping point. Also on southern continent with Prime, Secundus, and Quattor.
>The more cities, the longer the construction.

>>40480491

Link the cities on the Southern continent first. Stage 2 of construction will be linking the continents and adding the Mechanicus forge to the train network. First order of business is economic and civilian progress.

>>40480491
Well the best play would to be linking Secundus, the forge and Quattor. They would get the bulk of the economic reserves rolling out to a spaceport. Alternately, you could add in on of the argi centres which might be a good idea since a hive city will need lots of food. For this it would be best to go with Tertia.

>>40480555

I'll back this to keep things moving.

>>40480592
Which part? The first idea or adding in Tertia?

>>40480491

I think we should try and focus on one continent for now. Long term connecting them all definitely makes sense, of course. The hive city probably has a lot of old industry, so I think we should probably try to make it into a manufacturing hub. I would recommend sending the railway through Valencia Prime and Valencia Secundus, and ending at the hive city (with a possible stopover at the Mechanicus forge). Connecting it to Valencia Prime connects it to our existing population hub, provides food, and would allow us to create a supply chain for the coolent in the long term (shipping coolent from the pole to the capital by boat, and then from the capital to the hive by train). Ceramite is critical to so many manufacturing processes it should certainly be on the train route.

>>40480518

This makes sense, but I would connect the Hive City to Valencia Prime first.

It's our population center and would probably be the center of immigration, and would also provide food to the growing mega city.

>>40480633
Yes this is a good option. I endorse this.

>>40480664

I'll third this, seems well thought out

>>40480491
Just for clarification which one is on the other continent?

>(Teritus is. That is the farming one that got attacked in the Fungal War. We made it to solve food shortage problems)
>>40480633
>>40480664
>>40480686
You determine that, for now, the Southern continent should be the one connected. The rail way will start at Prime, make its way to Secundus, then Quattor, and then to the mechanicus forge. This will provide food, population, and ceramite all along the trial. Estimates state that it will take 6 months to finish the rail way, assuming all goes according to plan. With that settled, you can move on to other business.
>What are our priorities for the rest of the month?

>>40480799

Let's try to send out raiding parties to exterminate rogue bands of Xenos In the wilderness in the meanwhile.

>>40480799
Well the hive city need to start doing something so I vote that we get industry up and running there or at least get the ball rolling for that.

>>40480799

If we're going to keep the Heretics and Xenos in the lower hive as a "wall" between our people and the Source, we should make sure they won't start raiding anytime soon.

>So (covertly) send a peace offering?

>>40480799
These two work>>40480834
>>40480846


But lets get Freidrick to set up a officers academy so to train future officers and pass on his wisdom and military might.

>>40480871
Well for now security and industry are probably our two biggest goals so I agree.
1-We set up a commite to figure out what to do with Quattor
2-We begin to raid enemy encampments in the wilderness
3-We set up an officer academy
4-If possible we start on that wall idea

You decide to begin sending out raiding parties to deal with the left over xenos from the wars. While it is hard to permanently exterminate the Orks and Fungal zombies, their numbers must be kept in check. At the same time, you begin to set up a committee to begin turning Quattor into a major manufacturing hub. The mechanicus are all too eager for this and send many members to the committee as well as stepping up their efforts to reactivate the hive's systems.

>Month 28

>5 Months Until Rail Construction Complete
You have received some troubling news. Crime and unrest has risen up in Valencia Tertius. With the new rail being constructed in the southern continent only, many in Tertius feel as though you do not care as much about Tertius as much as the other cities. Citizens have been making demands for the city to have a mayor appointed to represent their demands and help in their problems much more readily. Of course, doing so could set a precedent, and other cities may begin demanding to have mayors as well to speak for their interests.
>Shall we appoint a mayor to Tertius or find some other way to quell the unrest?

>>40481194
Allow a mayor to be appointed from the people to help quell the unrest. It may start a precedent but it would help in the long run.

>>40481194

Instead ask the city to send a delegation of city leaders to us and we can directly solve their problems.

Mayors would be a bad precedent.

>>40481194
Accept a delegation, after all the people of the city are varied and one man no matter how skilled cannot represent all their interests.

>>40481275
Agreed, one man with all the power (who is not us) over a city is a bad idea

>>40481275
>>40481307
>>40481319
Instead of a mayor, you tell Tertius to send a delegation to Valencia Prime in order to consult you about their problems. Within only a short few days, delegates are sent, the city apparently choosing those they were thinking of as mayoral candidates. The delegation consists of three members, Jocasta Flynn, an administratum scribe who works in Tertius, Falvard Sabataan, a former member of our PDF who lost both his legs in the Fungal War and was honorably discharged from duty, and Gerald Helatian, a head of a farming guild from Tertius.
You accept them into a meeting room, all three looking rather angry. You sit down, offering a drink, Jocasta refusing. "With respect governor, we are here on business." She says, bitterness in her voice. "You have ignore tertius for too long. Reconstruction efforts after the Fungal war were slow and half baked. You care only for the southern continent and its precious ceramite, completely ignoring the fact that without us, two of your cities would completely starve." The other two men nod their heads, Gerald speaking up next. "You have done little to invest in our farming efforts. Our machines are outdated and in poor repair, but we don't see any tech priests coming to assist us. It would seem the only things that matter on Valencia are her exports. After all, that's the thing that lines your pockets, is it not?" He says.
>Our response?

>>40481517
Actually most of the money that is made goes back into the planet, however you are correct that more support is necessary. I will talk to the admech, and see if I can shift more funding to your city. However given the issues with Quattor, there may be delays due to armed conflict.

>>40481517
Take a sip of our not!wine and look her dead in the eye. "To say that I don't care about the good people of Tertius would be a great insult for my time is limited and many threats and opportunities call for it, I am aware of the issues regarding your city however I have had little opportunity to adress it."

Then go on to pledge our support for real reconstruction and help.

>>40481517

"I will be honest with you; it is the ceramics that protects and defends us, and keeps us wealthy. Yes, it has been my focus. But I hear your voices and I understand that I can do more to protect the interests of Tertius. Let me make things right: give me your top two concerns and we will rectify them within six months."

Be apologetic but firm.

>>40481517
Well we will need to make concessions to placate them. I suggest that we have Mechanicum personnel and funds allocated to help them get and maintain new equipment. In the mean time they must promise to wait for the train system to be completed on the southern continent before they push for a bridge and rail line to them.

>>40481615
I like this course of action.

>>40481629
>>40481615

These two seem good

>>40481615

I also like this. We need to be clear that we rule on Valencia. We are not going to by tyrannical by any means, but our authority must not be questioned. We should offer assistance to this group, while at the same time making sure they understand the limits of their influence.

>>40481615

"I will be honest with you; it is the ceramics that protects and defends us, and keeps us wealthy. Yes, it has been my focus. But I hear your voices and I understand that I can do more to protect the interests of Tertius. Let me make things right." You say, looking them in the eyes with a dead serious face. "At my command, I can have mechanicum personnel sent to your doors to fix your machines. I can have funds sent to help expand Tertius." The group seems to lighten up a bit. "However, you must understand I have a planet to run. It may be a while before I can get the rail way anywhere near Tertius, and you're just going to have to accept that. Understand?"
The group turns to themselves, discussing the suggestion in hushed whispers, before turning back to you. "Very well." Falvard says. "We accept these terms. However, do not think that this will completely placate us in the future. Continue this level of support and you'll never hear trouble from Tertius again." With that, the delegation leaves and you begin signing the correct paper work to make your promises happen.
>We can take a single action now before the next event his month. This is not related to the Tertius situation, as that is being handled. What is our next single priority?

You find that, even though you have been away from noble life for over a year now, these things come back naturally to you. Etiquette is a simple matter that you could do it in your sleep.
However, you do learn much about the Helvera family. Descendents from early Rogue Traders, they are very rich. Obscenely rich. What you are to a citizen of Valencia, they are to you. However, they do not seem to have done anything major with their wealth, content to sit on it and maintain the power that they do have. More so, you find out that Fausta, your potential future wife, has very high standards, known only to meet with the very pinnacle of the social elite. You'll have your work cut out for you.
>Month Event
You receive a transmission from Valencia Quattor. Evidently, the committee has come to something of a stalemate. The mechanicus representatives have come at odds with the other members, especially the ecclesiarchy. They accuse the mechanicus of over stepping their bounds, attempting to claim the city as their own rather than making it into one for Valencia after shooting down several premiere proposed locations for ecclesiarchical shrines to be built in the city. The mechanicus claim that they need all the space they can get in order to optimize manufacturing like you commanded.
>Do we wish to settle this argument? Taking sides could risk making an enemy of the other, while compromising runs the risk of making everyone discontent.

>>40482336
I would suggest that they figure this one out themselves since we can't fix all their little arguments and frankly I don't want to step in on this.

>>40482336
We will have to pick sides. We cant do everything because then nothing will get done. People will still bicker so make this one a Mechanicum win and tell the clerics that they get the next city.

>>40482393
>>40482388

One of these two.

We're sick of these peoples shit. So either let them deal with it themselves or just give this one to the Mechanicus and create a holy city next.

>>40482336

The Mechanicus can tend to be a bit overzealous when it comes to manufacturing. They can ignore human elements such as habitation or, as in this case, religion. See if we can find a few places where additional shrines would not upset the industrial balance. We can perhaps sell this to them as that, in order to truly maxamize production, we need to ensure the populace is pious and happy.


On a somewhat related note, is there any chance we could start training some small unit special forces for strikes into the underhive? Krieg are excellent troops, but they are not subtle and work best in mass battles. I'm thinking about small highly trained, exceptionally well equipped troops we can use for infiltration or spec-ops against the chaos-aligned forces under the hive city.

>>40482455
Second

>>40482455
I thought the plan was to leave the underhive alone until we knew what we were dealing with.

>>40482455
I agree with both of these ideas, and Yes the Mechanicum can be idiots too when it comes to making factories. We could probably tell them that the regular populous need religion to keep themselves motivated to work in the most efficient manor.

>>40482481
We should also make sure these men are loyal to us first and foremost, since you never know when we might have to take out the trash within our own regime

>>40482502

It is, sort of.

They are dangerous and the chance that they will eventually try to retake the upper hive is very, very high.

>>40482502

Eh, I suppose you're right. I was thinking elite troops could be a way to help figure out exactly what we are dealing with. The crazy pskyer will almost certainly come back eventually, and the chain of events afterwards could easily cause disaster. I was thinking that, instead of being entirely reactive, we could try and be pro-active in getting ready for our next steps.

>>40482336
Forget the rest of these heretics, decree that the holy sites must be respected.

>>40482639

You contact the delegation, appearing before them by way of hologram. "Ah, governor, trusted friend, we are glad to see you." The leader of the mechanicus faction within the committee says. "Yes, as are we." The ecclesiarchical leader agrees, though not in as happy of a tone as the tech-priest. "Now, what is your judgement in this matter?"
You clear your throat. "Gentlemen, I intend to make Valencia Quattor into a bastion of manufacturing, where workers can construct the things Valencia needs to survive." The mechanicus leader smiles, as best as a tech-priest can. "You see, the governor agrees with..."
"However..." You interrupt. "In order for manufacturing to be of optimal productivity, workers must maintain high morale and loyalty to the Emperor. As such, shrines and churches must be built and available to citizens of all inhabited levels of the hive."
The entire delegation looks shocked, completely not expecting your argument. The tech-priest processes the information for a few seconds, before speaking.

>>40482820

You decide that, as elite as your PDF surprisingly is, they could be better. You get into contact with Frederick to construct an officer academy, as well as a recruiting center to raise special units, along the lines of a Schola Progenium. Frederick agrees with this, stating he has several officers in mind from the Death Korps regiments that could oversee such a thing. However, he says that training a special regiment could be difficult, as your PDF has adopted tactics very similar to the Kriegers due to their working together, so training them against that will prove difficult. None the less, the groundwork for the academy is set under way.

>>40483134
Could we reach out to retired military officers/scholars in the imperium to teach at our academy? Surely the offer of a minor noble title and a large salary would help us find some qualified individuals

>>40483303
Show that we are wealthy,cultured and powerful nobleman worthy of respect. This party is also an excellent opportunity to network with big shots in the imperium even if things with this chick don't work out.

>>40483303
Well we have to meet her standards whatever they are. They we blow them out of the water with our swagger and sophistication.

>>40483303
>>40483364
>>40483384

She already has more money than the Emperor, so we need to meet her nobleman swag expectations but also show her that we have talent and ambition.

The trick to seducing this lady might be to convince her that together, you could rule a Segmentum. Valencia is thriving on a shoestring budget, but imagine if we had access to even a tenth of a percent of her family's wealth: we could but additional planet licenses and reclaim whole systems in her family's name - but ruled by us, of course.

>>40483303

Well, I'd suggest something a bit unorthodox. Given what we know about her family and the wealth they have, even if we put everything we have into appearing stylish and rich we would still only be at a level of parity with the other suitors.

What we need, is something that will make us stand out. We can still be lavish and stylish, of course, but perhaps we can focus on something else as our main seductive aspect.

I would suggest emphasizing our plans for the future, on building a glorious, powerful, and wealthy world. We can speak to our abundant natural resources, to the threats we have faced and defeated, and of the boundless opportunity both we and Valencia present. We must be sophisticated, but some almost rustic swagger and charm at the same time.

>>40483513
>>40483517
These both go together perfectly.

>>40483578

>>40483843

We should in future try to improve our relations with the ecclesiarchy, we've been focusing mostly on the mechanicus and our military.

>(So, it looks to be between Frederick and Helena. I want to remind everyone I said guests. Plural. We can take more than one. So, if anyone wants to change their vote based on that, respond to this)

>>40484166

Alright guys, here's the plan.

We use Fred to distract the old war hero types with old war stories, so we only have to compete with the young hookers n blow type kids. We'll blow them out of the water with our pragmatism and achievements.

>>40484377
You said a guest. Then guests. That might be he confusion.

Bring along everyone; while we might only bring the good general to the party itself, our other assistants might like the opportunity to talk to other members of their orders.

>>40484377
Oh then bring them both.

>>40484377
changing >>40484370 to fredrick and helena and an ecclesiarchal member

>>40484377
Both then

>>40484166
Bring along the both of them and a priest who's good at schmoozing on our family ship.

>>40484407

Sounds like a good plan to me. Fred doesn't need to have tremendous social graces to be a good wingman.

I'd be nervous about bringing either Helena or the Ecclesiarchy representative. The Mechanicus tend to creep people out in a social setting while the Ecclesiarchy is already a bit grumpy about the hive world. Plus, if we leave both of them behind, they'll be able to keep each other in check so neither faction goes crazy with the hive city development.

>>40484470
You decide you shall bring along all three options, hoping to optimize your image. The Ecclesiarchy sends Confessor Jacobim to join you, an old man that rivals Frederick in age. He eyes Helena suspiciously before entering the ship. Frederick follows behind them, taking a seat among the luxury of your personal ship. Humorously, he looks uncomfortable surrounded by so many soft cloths and paintings of exquisite design. He wears his dress uniform, his usual gas mask replaced with one that has a bronze trim to its filter and goggles. You enter and give the order for the ship to make warp jump
>And now, 1d100+10 for our warp jump. +10 due to the Confessor's presence making the ship holy and anathema to daemons.

>>40484377
Still saying we should only take Fred because >>40484407 , and also for the reasons >>40484478 detailed.

Warp travel is an ever fickle thing, often leaving those aboard feeling sick. Furthermore, there is always the chance something goes wrong and you arrive months earlier or later than when you intended to get there. Not this trip, however. It goes over very smoothly, with no system failures and a smooth voyage through out. You arrive two days before the start of the party, seeing the small planet of Helvera III, named after the family that controls the system, just as all the planets and the system itself is. The planet is surrounded by many ships of varying shapes and sizes, some of them smaller than yours, others larger by magnitudes of ten.
Frederick looks out the window at the ships, shaking his head disapprovingly. "Such powerful ships of the machine god, and barely a lance between them." He says, Helena chuckling. "Must everything be built for war, Frederick?" Frederick turns to Helena. "Not everything... only the things that matter. And ships that size would matter." He says with a shrug, not taking a stern tone of voice.
You make land fall on the planet and you would swear the cities were made of gold with how bright they were. Unlike the cities of your planet, these buildings are built for extravagance rather than utility. When you spot the governor's palace, a sprang of jealousy hits you as you realize your palace would comfortably fit in the gardens of theirs. Even with your past life as a noble, you were not prepared for this.
>You have two days before the party. What do you wish to do in that time?

>>40484833

Try to feel out the vibe of the party. How are things going in the Sector? Any juicy gossip? We need to be up to speed on all the happenings of the local systems.

>>40484833
See the sights, Look for colonial backers, Feel out the nobles here.

>>40484833
Research, study, passive data collection on other party goers. We ought to have at least a basic understanding of the topics the key players are interested in.

...and perhaps a token for the lady?

>>40484833
Introduce ourselves, mingle and learn who's who.

>>40484833
We should get settled in to the accommodations they give us and go scope out our competition

>>40484879
I am backing this one. We need a better feel for who is here.

>>40484833
Check the list of whose attending the party and anyone we should be aware of. See if we can find any merchants and advertise our planet. Frederick should shop around and see if he finds anything special he wants for our military.

>>40484833
Catch up on planetary gossip and feuds, we don't need to be making enemies in high places.

>>40484833

We should first try and obtain a guest list and scope out our opposition. We should then try and possibly meet or mingle with the lady herself, if possible, before the event proper. She may be swarmed by suitors at the party and it would be a good idea to make ourselves known first.

You decide that, even though you prepared before hand, you need to do so even more. As such, you spend the next two days scoping out the other nobles, including your competition, to try and gain an edge.
>1d100+20. Failure will bump us down to a +10, a partial success will give us a single re-roll during the party, a full success will give us unlimited re-rolls during party.

You successfully work the seemingly endless crowd of nobles attending the party. Behind their self importance and facades of wealth, they're just the same as you are. Nervous if they will meet the expectations of Fausta. However, knowing they're nervous gives you an edge: confidence in yourself. You get the feeling the party is going to go well for you.
>(Going to call it a thread here guys. I wanna thank everyone for coming out to one of the most successful entries of Planetary Governor Quest in a while. Next thread will be around the same time either Friday or Saturday. Hope to see you there for the party)

Fuck yeah, thanks for running man

>>40485089
Thanks for running. Things are looking up for John Erlwise Shabti.

>>40485089
Their unconfidance shall be their undoing!

Gnight
