Abandon all hope, ye who enter. Civ quests require you to run them a lot more often and more consistently to maintain any momentum. This is still true if your quest is a hybrid of civ quest and normal quest, and for some reason the QMs that run 40k civ quests never give enough of a fuck. They peter out and die, usually fairly quickly. And I'm talking about quests with the exact same name used for this quest. Over. And over. A new one always shows up, and it always goes nowhere.

>>2975794
The first one was very good and lasted many threads. It stop suddenly but few quests actually get an ending.

After a decades long campaign in the sector, you finally decisively defeated the uprising on Borean Prime with your own regiment spearheading the assault into the enemy lines, and your own men capturing the enemy leader, allowing you to hand over the Rebel Governor to the waiting Inquisition agents....

In recognition of your loyal service to the Imperium, you have been granted the Governorship of Galantis IV....

What regiment did you command during the campaign? They will form the core of your new PDF and support base on the planet


A. The 981st Elysian Drop trooper regiment, skilled in lightning attacks with light infantry and air support, you also have a large inventory of Tauros vehicles. Gets a minor bonus in open areas and fighting in covered terrain, ie urban, underground,and heavy jungles and forests.

B. The 352nd Mechanized Regiment, originally out of Armaggedon. They are well equipped for mobile warfare with chimeras and leman russ tanks. They even have a squadron of Baneblades... Gets a major bonus fighting in open areas

C. The 458th Vostroyan Infantry regiment, a large light infantry force, skilled in urban assaults and effective in cold climates. Their iron will, dicipline and heavy weapons help make up for their minimal vehicle support, consisting of a handful of leman russ tanks. Gets a major bonus fighting in covered terrain.

You, Lorenzo Von Hapsenzollern look upon Galantis IV from orbit in the transports that bring your beloved 352nd Mechanized Regiment, along with their families and shipload of volunteer settlers from around the sector. You also were given a number of other troops involved in the campaign, as they were given the right of settlement on your world as well, and they have also been folded into your PDF, in the form of several companies of Cadian infantry, 4 batteries of Krieger artillery and a company of elite Karskin troops seconded to you during the campaign as your bodyguard company....

Veterans of many battles, your men were relieved and deeply honored to receive the right of settlement, as it is a rare award, and spared them from fighting attritional campaigns to the point where their units are folded into others or annihilated entirely....

You eagerly look out over the peaceful beauty of the planet as your men begin to disembark for the surface...

The world itself is of relatively high value to the Imperium as a potential military staging point and manufacturing site. Part of your task is to rebuild and fortify Galantis IV and make it productive enough to being tithing again in short order.

The major urban centers were ravaged in the brief but savage fighting during the raid, with much of the urban population killed or enslaved, including the previous governor and his family. With the old palace only somewhat intact, we have some options of where we want to set up our new base of operations

A. The old palace, it is suitably grandiose and can be upgraded and fortified to protect us in the future. It is located on an estate outside the capital city

B. The Military fort, also near the capital, is relatively intact, and is well fortified against both ground assaults and orbital strikes, it however lacks the amenities and luxuries available in most governor's residences

C. Expand the bunker system, buried in the mountain range, the existing bunkers harbored a large number of people and were completely missed by the Pirates, not very comfortable but very safe and defensible, in the event of a raid or a full scale invasion.

You decide to make your new headquarters at Fort Tarsis, and send a message over the VOX to your adjuntant, Lieutenant Lyra Crofter to have your support staff set up your room and move your personal effects to your new residence

You decide to invite what remains of the planetary government for a feast and meeting with you....

The survivors are lower level bureaucrats and middle management as the wealthiest districts of the planet were sacked by the pirates, the residents either killed or carried away screaming as slaves... Including the former Governor and the old ruling class, a mix of large landholders and industrialists....

You address your new subjects with your first plan of action

The main urban areas took severe damage in the raids and many homes and businesses were destroyed, however the rural areas are intact.

One thing you noticed upon landing here is the lack of sensors or any kind of early warning system, you would set up outposts all over the planet with powerful augury stations, scanning orbit and the skies for intruders

During the raid, the pirates bombed the ceramite mines and looted the storehouses around them, stealing the recent yields

You decide to prioritize economic output first, having a techpriest and several of your best men meet the miners, and begin working on ways to restabilize the mine shafts and get the mines producing again, it is thought that the damage is relatively minor and that they can begin safely sending miners down in a few weeks.....

In the meantime you have been petitioned, particularly hard by the wealthier urban citizens, to focus on assisting on reconstrution of homes for them, as many of them are still living in the city ruins or on the streets....

Sound good, the lower classes will probably like us more.


But some of the remaining elite will probably start hating us ..... is not a major problem but they could help in fixing the world.

Then again after building the mines we could go for B&C, that will give a lot of work to them (too wealthier urban citizens, large landholders and industrialists).

Or we can just make new nobles from our army and wipeout the remains of the old nobility.

You contact Hermann Stahl, formerly a colonel in the 352nd, as he was previously your right hand man in the regiment and now serves as your prime minister, dealing with the day to day governance of the planet.

After traveling around the planet and surveying the damage, he has identified several key road segments and bridges to be repaired which will improve planetary trade and make it easier to move our troops around.

It will cost 40,000 to fully implement the plan and improve your standing with the population

You are asleep in your quarters when you are alerted by your guards that the sensors on the Fort briefly picked up 3 contacts in high orbit, likely a flotilla of some sort.....

You make your way to the command center, when one of your men informs you that they just received a tight-beam communication from orbit.....

You have standing orders to open fire on the Xenos, if they seem to be making a move or doing something untoward to us....

You have a small armored force gathered to surround the proposed landing site as well as the Forts weapons, giving the Xeno envoy little chance to escape if we are betrayed......

In less than an hour the Xeno lands in a shuttle, its doors slowly opening to reveal Por'El T'olku Krineth and a squad of Tau soldiers behind him....

You decide to reject the gift, and politely ask the Xenos to leave, while sending a message to your men to go on a state of high alert.....

The Xeno seems to be displeased for a moment, their facial expression changing for just a snap second before responding

"Of course My Lord Governor, it would be rude for you to take a gift from someone you barely know...."

"The Tau Empire stands ready to trade with you for your valuable ceramite ore and is willing to pay you generously for it"

"I will leave you with this communication device, that will let you contact any Tau ship from several systems away, if you decide to change your mind about the Tau and the Greater Good"

With that, the Xenos turn around and board their ship.....

You return to your quarters to draw up plans for additional defenses, and are able to get a few days of peace and focus when you are alerted again....

You are forced to run to the command center. When you arrive your men stand up to salute you....

"Bloody hell, what is it this time? The Xenos again?"

"Not this time sir" one of your staff responds

You have your men give the Rogue Trader the coordinates, again outside your fort, in range of the weapons there, for your security.

Once again you don your finest uniform and move out to meet the Rogue Trader who has landed in his Arvus lighter in a clearing outside the fort, with a small retinue of guards

"Greetings Lord Governor, I am Ferdinand Del Kruptman, I heard that this world had been given a new Governor and came to meet you about establishing a business relationship, you being on the edge of Imperial space and all"

"I would love to buy some of your ceramite yields from you, and perhaps other things of interest as well"

He goes on to offer you 10,000 thrones per shipment of ceramite, which he will pick up every month.....

This represents about half of our production yield, which we can use the other half for our own production or sell/trade it to the other interested parties. We can also do things to improve our yields like utilizing advanced mining equipment, and setting up more mines.

He also expressed an interest in establishing an outpost on your planet. He is willing to pay 50,000 thrones up front cash for the rights for 10 years.

The Rogue Trader can offer many things most Imperials cannot, such as rare items, including Xenotech and Archeotech, if you have the cash.

He can also offer specialist contacts, for mercenaries, admech personnel, navigators and other special groups.

Finally he can offer you star maps and information about the local star system as well as the surrounding space, but beware trusting Rogue Traders too much, as they are unlikely to tell you about any interesting finds that they would rather keep for themselves.....

H. A small shipment of human sized bolters

>>2979200

Intriguing. What is the Hochwald company's asking price, and how much do the power armor and mini-bolters cost?

>>2979207
50,000 thrones for the Hochwald mercenaries, they come with a regiment worth of mechanized troops in leman russ and chimeras, with a few rare variant vehicles mixed in, including punisher leman russ tanks, and a few banewolfs, devil dogs and hellhound light vehicles

Its 10,000 for 100 bolter rifles and 10,000 for a set of 5 human made power armors, enough to equip you and a few key members of your staff

>>2979200
What about the plasma guns and melta shipment ?

>>2979227

That's not a bad deal for the mercenaries. Is it a one time purchase or a constant payment? I'm neutral on the mini-bolters, but I think we should buy the power armor.

>>2979232
Agree with the power armor

>>2979232
That is for a 5 year contract, you also will need to pay for their supplies and housing during their service to you

>>2979233

Boosting our survivability tenfold for a third of our guaranteed income seems like a wise decision.

>>2979243
Are the Harks packing their own Air Support?

>>2979243

We don't have a need, I say we purchase the power armor and abstain from hiring mercenaries for the time being.

>>2979248
Anon while I’d usually jump for Power Armour, with the blueberries about I’d rather have men that it.

>>2979247
Yes they have a small airfleet, carapace armor, and a large number of rare, special weapons but cost 100,000 thrones for a 5 year contract

>>2979253

Normally I would agree, but we have a large population of Imperial Guard veterans and could raise a nasty PDF regiment given two years.

>>2979253
True but we don t know to many things in this sub-sector, i don t really want to pay them and then the blueberries attack when the contract end.


We could boost our own forces a lot with the plasma&melta shipment.
(a reminder: i don t think we have a military fleet or a space station)

>>2979263
>>2979267
Both true, perhaps get the Mordians for more meat to our armoured bones?

>>2979258
What is the Mordians cost ?

Maybe

>>2979280

I think that our mechanized regiment should be buffed with some infantry for now.

>>2979295
Then the power armors.
(Or just one, if everyone agree )


>A small shipment of plasma guns
>A small shipment of melta guns

What about the price of this one s ?

>>2979400
10,000 for 100 of each item

>>2979405

Good. I say :

One power armour
A small shipment of plasma guns (100)
and
A small shipment of melta guns(100).
For the rest, i prefer to wait to see the other stuff.
(And have some founds for the planet fortifications + starting the PDF)

>>2979502

I agree, but we should purchase all five power armors to equip our bodyguards.

>>2979512

Pardon, our eventual bodyguards.

>>2979512
Well ok


Is just 30.000

>>2979502
>>2979302
>>2979397
>>2979267
You buy the power armor, the small shipments of plasma guns and melta guns and hire the Mordian mercenaries...

This will cost us 30,000 for the gear and 50,000 for the mercenaries leaving us with 490,000 remaining for other items

Now for the military gear

A. A squadron of Leman russ battle tanks (20,000) for 5 tanks
B. A squadron of Chimera personnel carriers(20,000 for 5 vehicles)

for 120,000 thrones you buy the whole set, together with military vehicles you have spent another 180,000 leaving 310,000 left.

I forgot to mention a few other military items that would be interesting

Batches of heavy weapons and the squadrons are 20,000 each

A. A batch of autocannons, comes with stands and ammo, good for fire support and can be entrenched into permanent defenses
B. Batch of short range missile launchers, effective against aircraft

A. A batch of autocannons, comes with stands and ammo, good for fire support and can be entrenched into permanent defenses

B. Batch of short range missile launchers, effective against aircraft

G. Earthshaker artillery guns, must be towed or emplaced

>>2979678
Well ok.

But that will be a great problem.


I can accept it, just remember that we are lacking lot of stuff.
(And that we need the funds for build the fortification and raise a PDF. Not having them for this 2 things would be a problem)


[We barely have information on our surroundings for example and don t even know the political situation of the sub-sector]

>>2979724
Support.

>>2979733

I know, it's a serious dent in our finances but it'll make future upgrades easier. As long as we've got 200k to work with on the fortifications, I feel we'll be fine. After all, if we're invaded it shouldn't be too difficult to rally a fighting force out of the settled guard.

I'll back this.

>>2979723
We currently have a half dozen local regiments in the pdf equipped with las rifles and flak armour. Truly bog standard guardsmen. The Krieg troops immediately transferred to the pdf as an artillery section as none among them expressed any desire to retire from soldiering

>>2980242

Good to know. I'm assuming the PDF are conscripts not related to our retirees, please clarify if I'm incorrect. How large is the Krieger regiment, how much armor do we have, how long was Galantis IV settled before our arrival, and do we have anything resembling a spaceworthy fleet?

>>2979665
Right now we produce nothing but there was some manufacturing that was bombed and looted by the pirates than can be rebuilt

>>2980051
Problem is I would be super into it for the first two or three days and it would be super creative and awesome, and then I would forget about it and lose all motivation and it would die.

Is there any chance we could start a SP chapter on our planet or one of our moon's? Give them free rein (which basically amounts to them crusading and occasionally picking some soldiers) whilst leaving us to run the planet.
This gives us a few benefits:
- basically a free military and bulwark
- prestige amongst other worlds (useful for marrying up)
However, negatives as well
-they typically use a world as a fiefdom
-definitely no heretek or meeting with other aliens

What Do other anons think?

>>2980994

SP chapter? Do you mean Space Marines?

>>2981049
Yeah.
Or even an inquisition chapter/ homebase.
That 100% means we'd have to play by the rules though

>>2980994
>Is there any chance we could start a SP chapter on our planet or one of our moon's?
>..Start a SM chapter..
That's not how that works.

>>2981474
You know what I mean. Stop being nitpicky.

>>2981433
>>2980994

we want to thread a fine line between loyal planetary governor and the occasional illicit trade with rogue traders and Emperor forgive me, Xenos. bringing Inquisition or Space Marines to our system will get us hanged.

>>2980994
we need more power/influence (or just interest) for a chapter to move here and drop a fortress monastery.

(only a new chapter could be interested, and that depends on too many things. Plus Astartes are useful for some things but i would prefer to at least control our planet. If we manage to fix GalantisIV and then take our solar system we could maybe give them a moon. If someone is interested, however it is unlikely and it is preferable to do it when you have much more power. Or to not do it at all since Astartes prefer to fully control the planets were they have something. For me is a no, this is our soil.)
oh and informations. we barely have them.
>>2980260
>do we have anything resembling a spaceworthy fleet?

no. the small rebel fleet was destroyed ... and we (Lorenzo Von Hapsenzollern) don t have a fleet, a space station or a spaceport.

We need to double down on making money and see what we can do about getting a SDF for our planet. Perhaps we should take a look at the sector map and see if there's any forge worlds we could entice?

>>2981904
that or have a lot of manufactorums.
right now we don t have a local star map, we don t even know our surroundings .

if this rogue trader return or other imperials arrive we could ask for that.

(it would be better to have the map of the sub-sector for now. Or just of the solar systems near us and detailed informations on the celestials bodys of our own solar system)

>>2981926
We currently don't have any ships, and have extremely limited information about the system itself as well as the surrounding region, we need to either buy information from a merchant or get our own ship and go exploring

>>2981866
>>2981474
>>2981433
>>2981049
>>2980994
>>2980994
Space Marine chapters are highly independent and powerful, so it is unlikely we would ever get anything more than some influence over a chapter.... However we can try to build a relationship with any Astartes we come across...

>>2980260
Galantis has been settled around 400 years.
Currently our PDF consists of an active duty mechanized regiment, the Mordian mercenary regiment, and a half dozen local conscripts from the planet. We also have a reserve of several more conscripted regiments we can call up if neccessary and a veteran regiment made up of recently retired troops....

The Krieger contingent is relatively small, less than 200 men, who operated artillery pieces. They currently help man the defences of Fort Tarsis.

The Cadian contingent was also around 400 men, and most of them retired and entered into our reservist service

We have no spaceworthy ships to speak of besides your personal shuttle, which is not designed for anything more than short range trips and is incapable of warp travel.....

>>2979806
>>2979809
>>2979820
>>2979828
You opt to fortify the planet for your next major move, establishing small fortified outposts with sensor arrays, anti-aircraft missile emplacements, and some bunkers for defending against ground attacks.....

They are placed near major road junctions and will give over 90% sensor coverage of the atmosphere all the way out to outer orbit around the planet, allowing us to detect fleets above and aircraft flying around.....

This project costed 40,000 thrones to set up the outposts

What do you want to do now?

A. Improving the governors residence
B. Expand the defensive outpost system
C. Expanding the PDF
D. Rebuilding the manufactorums
E. Expanding the road network
F. Other(write-in)

>>2981998

Manufactorums are essentials, if we want to give weapons to our future PDF and have some industrial production.

>>2981998

> E. Expanding the road network

Fortifications are worthless if we can't move our troops.

>>2981998
Will rebuilding the manufactorums just help us maintain logistics or will it help generate economy for the planet?

Would expanding the road network be building off of the earlier infrastructure work we already put down?

And didn't we just massively expand the PDF?

>>2981998
E. Expanding the road network

>>2982034
>Will rebuilding the manufactorums just help us maintain logistics or will it help generate economy for the planet?

Both
>Would expanding the road network be building off of the earlier infrastructure work we already put down?

Not really, having a greater road network is good for us (especially since we are a mechanized regiment) but the the manufactorums are really important.
>And didn't we just massively expand the PDF?

No, we have some mercs right now (for 5 years)

>>2981998
>D. Rebuilding the manufactorums

>>2982009
>>2982077

Galantis IV needs burger-tier roads if we're going to mount any kind of resistance to the Tau.

>>2982088


since i don t want to wait, i will change to the roads because for us are important.

But the manufactorums, expanding the PDF and expand the defensive outpost system are more than critical for us.
also on a minor note a secret police is needed (for avoid xenos&heretics to establish forward base or give us major problems)

>>2982112

I agree completely, I only feel being able to transport supplies is marginally more urgent than being able to manufacture them to begin with. After the roads are laid, we'll ramp up our Manufactorums and get a bootleg !Not!Gestapo up and running. I feel a Tau-sparked rebellion is likelier than a Chaos uprising, but this is 40k and it only takes a single Nurgling to doom a Hive.

>>2981998
>E. Expanding the road network
I'm convinced this is the most pressing. I feel less like this is "Planetary Governor Quest" and more like Planetary Council Quest because we're all debating, weighing, and arguing before coming to a majority rule decision while pretending this guy (The Governor) is the real ruler. For public morale purposes.

>>2982125
Also for help us in the movement of our tanks.


we could understand when we know who our neighbors are.


The Tau usually prefer to approach the higher ups, and then the lower classes.

Since they have fail with us, they will try with our population (i doubt they can do it, since the raiders before the rebellion were probably dark eldars and the usual hate on the xeno).

Or just keep trying with us.

>>2982139
well we can just imagine that he has different ideas or talks with a small council.

>>2982139

That's part of the appeal to me, I like to imagine we're a handful of voices in his subconscious.

>>2982143

The perverse Xenos cannot be allowed to sway the people of Galantis IV to their twisted ideology. Necessity is a cruel mistress, and we may trade resources as necessary, but we must never allow cultural concessions, and we must stamp out the taint of the alien wherever it can be found.

>>2982154
For sure. It would be better to be auto-sufficent, if we manage to do that.


we can "hope" (not really) that the number of enemys in this sub-sector is great enough that a military tau expansion, would be seen as an act of aggression by many other partys interested in our strategic location.

You decide to expand the road system, this will increase surface trade by increasing the number of lanes in major highway segments between the planets larger cities and towns, while building roads out to the smaller towns and villages. It will also increase the speed which we can deploy troops on the planet...

This will cost 20,000 thrones to implement

It is just another day of paperwork, and you are starting to drag as the afternoon wears on, while you have a servo skull and a secretary there seems to be an endless number of documents that require your signature, and you have to try to read each one carefully, just in case you accidently sign something important....

You are suddenly snapped to attention by alarms blaring all across Fort Tarsis...

You quickly call in your assistant, who helps you put on your armor, and buckle on your holster and sheath for your bolt pistol and powersword before briskly making your way through the tunnels under the Fortress to the command center......

Rolled 45 (1d100)

>>2982231
The staff in the command center salute you as your enter, old habits from the Guard die hard.....

Your attention quickly shifts the Augury sensor officer.....

"Sir, we have detected a flotilla of 3 ships in orbit, we also have detected what appears to be aircraft deploying to the surface, over a dozen of them"

"Is is those damned Tau again?"

"No sir, these ships have a different profile than the Tau ships from earlier, they seem to be of Imperial origin...."

You order all forces readied, and the reservists mobilized, as everyone waits for more details from the Augury officer....

The ship profiles match a soulcage-class Chaos slave ship and 2 idolator-class escorts....

Fortunately they lack planetary bombardment capability, but they likely see Galantis as an easy target for slaves and loot..... They will soon learn otherwise....

The enemy aircraft split up into several groups with a group making their way to the capital city while others make their way to other major towns and cities....

Several enemy aircraft come into range of our anti-air defenses....

>>2982253
The anti-aircraft has some effect but your men's inexperience operating their weapons clearly shows, as only 3 enemy aircraft are shot down....

They appear to be small shuttles or dropships of some kind....

The other enemy aircraft consist of a devourer dropship, and several smaller shuttles and a marauder bomber.....

You scramble your fighter's to meet the enemy....

What should be the focus of their efforts?

B. The Devourer dropship
C. The marauder bomber

>>2982259
C. The marauder bomber

>>2982259
>C. The marauder bomber

ok

the soulcage-class Chaos slave ship as probably a lot of troops. Not many weapons.

Hull: Transport
Class: Soulcage-class Chaos Transport
Dimensions: Approximately 2 kilometres long, .5 kilometres abeam
Mass: Approximately 10 megatonnes
Crew: Approximately 30,000 crew plus hundreds of thousands of slaves
Acceleration: 3 gravities maximum sustainable acceleration
the idolators have some weapons and are smaller.

Dimensions: Approximately 1.5 kilometres long, 0.5 kilometres abeam at the fins.
Mass: Approximately 5.7 megatonnes.
Crew: Approximately 15,000 crew.
Acceleration: 7.6 gravities maximum acceleration.
This trio will probably remain in orbit.

---------------

the shuttles don t have lot of troops.

the problem is the devourer dropship, they can put on the ground a good amount of troops and even vehicles.


a marauder bomber can go both in void and air combat, and unload a good amount of bombs.

So

A tactical plan is quickly drawn up, with the Baneblade squadron pushing against a selected point in the enemy line, backed by the mordian infantry, while mechanized troops wait in reserve to exploit a breakthrough, their role to enter the ring and force the enemy the enemy fight attacks from both sides once a breakthrough is made. The rest of your infantry force will launch a general offensive all along the enemy defense line, providing a distraction for the mechanized troops who will be doing most of the heavy lifting.....

Your mobile forces are also able to capture the enemy aircraft, all still parked on the ground as well as a large number of enemy troops....

They are able to corrall over 2000 heretic troops into a small area, they are still armed, but seem aimless and leaderless....

We could marry someone that is not a noble but skilled and from our own ranks.

Now this will probably make us outcasts, but it give us more loyalty from our world and a solid help in ruling it.

>>2982539
Honestly I don't mind that. If we have the loyalty of the common men, and the military of our planet we can effectively disregard the nobility's desires (so long as we keep on our toes regarding plots)

We should get a few tech priests and purify each ship and all equipment.

>>2982539
>>2982899

Brothers, you shouldn't be so swift to discount the nobility, don't misinterpret, I disdain the snobby aristocrats as much as anyone but if wedding some vapid harlot can get our fingers in the sector fleet or interstellar commerce, think of the opportunities that might entail.

>>2983217

I want to know which type of traitorous scum these profligate deviants were, I'm confident in our capacity to handle a rampant Khornate horde or Slaaneshi secret society, but a sufficiently competent Nurglite cult sowing sickness or a Tzeentchian cabal undoing our infrastructure from the inside-out would be the end of our Governorship.

>>2983334
Normal priests should be good in identifying which ones are which although I'm betting on chaos undivided since I'm pretty sure nurgle, khorne and Slaanesh don't keep slaves. Dunno about the other one

>>2983384

Every one of the Ruinous Powers keeps slaves, to serve them is to condemn your soul to everlasting chains! The more pragmatic among their blasphemous ilk retain prisoners to labor in the Materium as well, those wretched men, women, and children who've stayed faithful to the God Emperor in spite of their corruption, but after all they've witnessed and been forced to endure, it is our holiest duty to give them death's peace.

>>2983217
You contact the local Ecclesiarchy to send over some priests to purify the ground and the captured aircraft of chaos taints....

Meanwhile your men celebrate this great victory over the pirate raiders, whos fleet quickly departed the system after the destruction of their ground forces....

It has greatly boosted morale of your troops as well as the confidence of the population in your ability to protect them, as they have been victimized by many such raids in recent decades......

The next few weeks are relatively quiet until you get word that the Rogue Trader fleet has entered the system, and have begun delivering the last of the equipment we bought from them as well as establishing their outpost, near one of our towns, Sheradon.

A quick flyover and reports from the local townsfolk are that the Rogue Trader has built a small fortified outpost, complete with some large barracks, an armory, a dining hall and some large storehouses...

While the current policy is still to have the Rogue Traders mercenaries and other staff keep to themselves, you have been petitioned by the town leaders of Sheradon to allow the Rogue Trader's men to come visit their town for food drink and whores, as many of the local business leaders desire to bring in new customers, loaded with coin.....

A. Allow it
B. Disallow it, we cannot have such free spirited men interacting with our population
C. Other(Write-in)

Allow it if they can pass through the "Heresy Customs"

Facilitating stable off-world commerce must be our secondmost priority, the first being to ensure the thorough fortification of our colony.

We're fine with the Rogue Trader giving his coin to our locals, but not giving stuff that might trigger public order problems, or worse, a hug from the Inquisition.

spend some thrones to build a wall to keep the bad traders that are criminals, rapists and murderers out and build a big beautiful golden gate that the good rogue traders can come through.

We should also have our arbites patrol inside to watch for signs of heresy

so ?

+1.

Dead thread?

>>2993974
probably

>>2988877
Sorry about the break guys been traveling last couple days and not had much time for posting. I will put together a sheet tracking assets, income, diplomatic relations and your status with the population. I have a few ideas for the thread but they are more long term, what would you guys like to do for the next couple posts? Focus on development, explore the region, build new relationships?

>>2994571
good to see you.

(anyway for avoid this situation another time [or in another quest if this dies, i hope not frankly. a pastebin can help the players when we will have a lot of resources, info and objects in our hands. maybe a twitter ], can you give an idea when you can post ? or at least say when the quest is on hold [like "guys sorry but today i can t stay much see ya tomorrow /idk"] and when you could return.)
i would like to focus on development but if we can speak another time with Del Kruptman, and buy a local star map the others 2 options could be available.

>>2988877
With the Rogue Trader outpost dealt with for now your attention turns to other matters.....

You decide to speak to your astropath about contacting someone.....

A. Rogue Trader Del Kruptman- he can likely get hands on anything available in the Imperium someone can buy with cold hard cash
B. The local forge world- Can buy equipment, machines, request techpriests
C. The local cardinal world- Request Ecclesiarchal legates, priests and even potentially sisters of battle if you build a strong relationship
D. Contact the local Imperial Navy Outpost
E. Other(Write-in)

C. The local cardinal world- Request Ecclesiarchal legates, priests and even potentially sisters of battle if you build a strong relationship
Inform them of our needs and the current status of our plant. A recently reestablish world with survivors from previous chaos raids and current new arrivals on a fairly underdeveloped world outside of a continent, people are mostly around medieval ear in social culture or something, etc. Hopefully the send someone palatable.

D. Contact the local Imperial Navy Outpost
Ask for any cheap ships they have for sale

>>2995064
Supporting

>>2995821
Shit, meant to link to

>>2995813

>>2995813
>>2995821
Was thinking maybe we could ask them for ships, and see if they would give us any for free, since sometimes navies more or less sell or scrap ships because they cost more than to keep em for some reason or another such as lack of facilities or proper logistics. Probably not.

>>2995836
It's a good idea. Worth developing a relationship with them at the very least. We see what they have, say hello and rub some shoulders. And with the priests we can talk about how we fucked up some chaos soldiers, have them come and cleanse the ship and and show them how we are striving to stay in the Emperors Light etc etc

>>2995876
Oh right, forgot about the ships. Good catch.

>>2995813
Supporting, especially for possibly getting a ship or two

>>2995064
I propose E. and we stay quiet for a season and work at home infrastructure project's instead of stirring warp communications, we maintain a point of contact with the greater Imperium though the rogue trader.

If this doesn't go though then D. Requisition star charts or a servery of the local group/system.
Info on Requisitioning a fright ships or anything from a escort corvette to a frigate nothing more other wise we might get some Admiral usurping power.

>>2995064
>E
build some production lines for what we are mining,
better profits on refined ore/items

>>2995813
support

it s time for create "some" relationships. (now it would be better to do it slowly, we are already a startegic position if we raise too much interest still at this stage we are gonna have great problems)


But don t use all the thrones, remember that we probably need to repair and give fuel to the spaceships we are gonna buy; especially the cheap ones.
remember that we still need to rebuild the manufactorums, expand some more the defensive outpost system and expand the PDF (that right now is just our old army).
this 3 things are vital for secure and defend the planet (alongside a bigger road network).
now if we manage to acquire a small fleet (decent&cheap) giving to it even the staff, the next step in space would be a space station.
for that we probably need a help from a forgeworld, or we could built it with just our own founds slowly. ( or ask Del Kruptman for some help)

>>2997070
*Strategic
If we manage to get some spaceships (maybe ; 3/5 are ok since we need to add all their costs [buying it, probably repair it, recruit crew&training, fuel, ammunitions for the weapons + upkeep], we will probably need to build at least some space docks (were they can attract and remain there) instead of a space station, since we still have other problems to resolve.

Unless we want the ships to just stay there in orbit (still consuming energy) or come down to the ground .

You summon your astropath to make contact with the local Cardinal World first, Redemption IV was a small feudal world until it was the site of a skirmish between a small local militia and a group of chaos pirates, when it appeared all was lost, a miraculous thing happened, with the militia leader rising from the dead and leading his men to a glorious victory over the raiders, saving the colonists....

After collapsing back into death, Captain Felix Jorgen began being referred to as St. Felix by the local people, leading the Ecclesiarchy to later name him an Imperial Saint and build a large cathedral on the planet....

You are able to send a message requesting a group of priests sent to bring our world closer to the Emperors light. The Ecclesiarchy agrees to send you several priests.....

You are also able to contact the nearest Imperial Navy outpost, the Admiral there seems willing to part with an old Sword-class frigate, being retired from the Sector Reserve fleet....

They ask 100,000 thrones for the ship, which comes with a crew and a navigator....

A. Buy the ship
B. Pass
C. Other(Write-in)

Im honestly not sure a ship is worth it to us. It can scare off the smaller stuff but will also make us seem like more of a target. It will also mean we have to pay upkeep and maintenance on the ship and crew. I say B: lets focus on building up on the ground for now.

>>2997956
>B. Pass

>>2997956
Although originally I was keen on a ship asap, >>2997985 makes something of a good point.

We can always hide the ship on the planet or somewhere in space.

I want the crews and navigator which we can use to train more people.
