+Saladris System, Segmentum Obscurus+

Rescue mission dispatched by the Chapter has managed to find stranded members of the Operation Stormchaser.

https://chapterquest.fandom.com/wiki/Operation_Stormchaser

One of the two ships, Dutiful, was forced by the super intense solar storms of Saladris' star to make emergency landing onto the planet of Saladris Beta, where it unfortunately collapsed, not to rise again, at least not in the foreseeable future.

However the other ship, Interimus, remains locked in a decaying orbit that is slowly approaching the star, with its engines dead.

Chapter expedition decides to approach it in order to either retrieve the crew or ideally - to repair and kickstart the starship...

---Aproaching Interimus---
[Wrenloft's roll of 53]
The solar activity is causing most of your machinery function in weird ways, but overall it seems that currently there's a lull on the surface of the tormented red dwarf. Ghost's Lance, your ship, manages to successfully enter the inner system. Soon, you are within the range and landers are launched to inspect what happened to Interimus.

Please roll a d100, target - under 78.

---Departure from the Dark Hunters' outpost---
Before your departure, Irael, Sergeant of the Dark Hunters and commander of their outpost, stops Trianon to wish him luck.
>I feel that our paths will cross again. May the Emperor guide your steps. And yes, please take this envelope, soulbind is there for your astropaths, if you would need to contact our Chapter again. Regarding the Knights of Adamant... I have met them once. Proud bunch, good warriors. We don't maintain official relationship with them. Emperor did not forge us for diplomacy. Last I heard, they signed up to take part in some campaign near... I think it was Scarus Sector? You will find them easily, they usually operate as a full Chapter and like to brandish their colours. Good luck, Emperor protects.

---Saving Interimus---
Roll: 8
Trianon's taskforce is very lucky - Ghost's Lance approaches Interimus safely and without any incidents. Soon, a landing party comes aboard and is greeted with cheers, laughter and praises to the Emperor. It seems that Interimus was caught by the radiation from an unexpectedly strong solar flare, which fried the generators. The astropath, Jerian Demavir, has decided to risk contacting the Chapter, by plugging himself into overchaged astropath throne in order to send out -Broken Wing- soulword. He died an agonising death, but only through his sacrifice could the help arrive. Tempestos explains that unfortunately, there is not way to restart the ship engines with the tools they have on-board.

Will you try to repair the ship or just save the crew?

Save the crew:
>Try to save everyone (Ghost's Lance will be overfilled)
>Save the officers and Space Marines
>Save only the Space Marines, the rest of the humans have been subjected to extreme radiation, who knows what taint they could carry back to Varda

If you are saving the crew, please select your actions and roll d100 (target under 85).

Repair the ship:
>Use the energy from the power-core of the Ghost's Lance to kick start Interimus' engines (target 65, failure could damage both ships)
>Send techpriests and techadepts to figure out how to fix Interimus (target 45)
>Disassemble parts of Interimus that are prone to overcharging (void shields, communication arrays, secondary power networks), maybe the ship will restart easier then, but it will one hell of a job to fix the ship later (target 70, ship will lose most of the functionality until repaired)

Roll d100

Due to critical success, you will have 1 reroll for this test.

>>Disassemble parts of Interimus that are prone to overcharging (void shields, communication arrays, secondary power networks), maybe the ship will restart easier then, but it will one hell of a job to fix the ship later (target 70, ship will lose most of the functionality until repaired)
Voting for this. We don't need Interimus functional right now and we can have plenty of time to reassemble it once we're back home. I assume reassembly with the labour of our own serfs and techpriests/marines wouldn't cost anything? Just time?

>>4036956
If it is done correctly, yes, no costs. There will be a separate roll to see if any damage is done to the parts during the disassembly (63% chance of not damaging any parts).

Disassembly is complete and Interimus' engines start up once again, slowly moving it out of the orbit of the Saladris' star.

With a roaring cheer, crewmen and officers celebrate the salvation of Interimus, you can clearly see that the rescue mission was a success.

Interimus' warp drive is still intact and working, your both ships now prepare to jump back into the Immaterium in order to finally return home.

-The Anglerfish Protocol-

Let's look into starting a small, completely fake group of "heretics" that will serve to lure out and expose any who drift that way in the future.

It would be composed entirely out of candidates that meet two criteria: being diehard loyalists and good actors. The groups would subtly work by spreading conspicious information, hosting shady events, and generally appearing as cast-outs. They would be provided with special insignia which gives the authority to silence any who question them in the name of the commanders.

With this in mind, those in the right who act against the group will simply be met with a blockade, while those who may seek to join the group for the wrong reasons would be subtly questioned and investigated by group members. If these potential "recruits" are deemed threats, they would be marked for more detailed investigation by appropriate personell, and obviously if they're discovered to actually be a threat, the information would immediately be relayed.

if the first operation is successful, we may even spread this from one group into several sectors (ie authority rebels, chaos, greedy shits, etc).

Thanks Skargan.

How much of that XP would it cost to give Trianon Mental Fortress? In addition to some time period studying under chapter master to learn it.

1. Next order of business would be the return of Elegion. Naturally we want to hear what he's been up to as well as what the Ghoul Stars are like. Axon's diplomacy for interacting with the Death Spectres chapter (the ones who found Elegion) is here:
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2788556/#p2788938

2. Chapter Master and the forces over Triot. We're continuing with cleanup efforts and before we move away I'd recommend we leave the 8th Company stationed on the planet for a few years to help them keep the Orks down. One of the 8th Company's main objectives would be to locate Warlord Racksmasha, so we can arrange a mission to assassinate him properly.

3. I also suggest we have our Tartarus Spy Network continue to look into the activities of Tesalia D'Anger and Daikan Alepros. They are clearly planning something and we need to know what they know. Who they are targeting and why. Furthermore a very important thing to deduce would be whether Alepros and/or D'Anger really are truly infatuated with each other or whether they're just using one another. Or one is infatuated and the other is exploiting etc. We need to know so we can use it against them if necessary.

4. Given the recent picts of the Triachy encounters from Alexander Kerr, is there anything we didn't know before, or can theorise that we couldn't before, especially their relation to the ruinous powers.
Consult Engel on these images if we haven't already and regarding the fact that the triarchy fleet contained imperial vessels with traitor crews. Off to Lord Admiral Hagen with all of this. Especially the fact that they use Imperial iconography.
Details of Kerr's encounter with the triarchy is here:
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3063452/#p3063571

5. Laxenos should be studying the encrypted maps that Kerr provided us with. However you mentioned that you wanted to wait for MS to confer with him regarding what the maps should be.
Info on map discovery found here:
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3063452/#p3066526
The letter found with the maps is also here:
>https://chapterquest.fandom.com/wiki/Baron_Renault's_Letter

6. Strange Xenos Sword quarantined until Tomas Garant can be contacted. You'll need to talk to MS about that.
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3063452/#p3064464

Otherwise, we have patrol groups watching the hotzones of the Sector as shown here:
>https://chapterquest.fandom.com/wiki/Current_Chapter_Deployments
So the Chapter should be keeping a close eye on triarchy movements around these regions as we try to glean more intelligence from our enemy.

Check in with Regon. See if the cogboys are okay and how their political standing may have shifted at all since the coup.

And we need to keep a weather eye of for our waifu.

This sounds like a very interesting idea! Who would be the character organising this? I assume Xyptus would make a good candidate. Question is what kind of heresy would be preached? Xeno? Daemonic? Hedonistic? Separatist? And would this be a faction or location based heretic cult?

>The link doesn't refer to diplomacy, please give a new reference

---Pacification of Triot---
As the Triot campaign closed, it soon became clear that this world is once more in Imperial hands. Despite this, some orks nonetheless resist, as it is in their nature. 8th Company of the Ghosts of Retribution will continue to hunt them down and pacify the planet under Captain Hector's command.

Please choose their tactics:
a) Fury and awe - operate as a company, unleashing full firepower at all times
b) Search and destroy - Company operates in squads, this way tracking down and destroying more orks, but putting themselves in more danger
c) May the hunt begin - Company is split up into 50 hunters pairs that ensure maximum possible spread. Your marines are not always victorious, but they are quick to eradicate the threat
d) Test them to the limit - 8th Company needs to earn their honours. Let them fight orks individually and prove how good are their warriors, only the best will survive, orks will be eradicated and the quality will improve

Length of eradication:
a) Roll 10+d10 years. If you roll above 15 years, you will need to roll again whether eradication is complete, at the end of the period. No casualties.
b) Roll d10 years. If you roll 8 or above, you will need to roll again whether eradication is complete at the end of the period. Roll d3 for squads that get ambushed and d5 for number of marines lost, multiply.
c) Eradication will be complete in d5 years. Company suffers 5d10 casualties.
d) It will take mere d18 months. Roll 10d10 casualties.

-d is insane and i dont want insane marines, i am also sceptical what that would do to their abiltiy to work in teams rather than solo

Yes. Also, orders have already been issued. Essentially you would be telling 8th to stand down and wait for another company to return to Triot. This would allow orks time to consolidate and humiliate Hector and his Company.

The cleansing of Triot is a short, but bloody affair. Hector and his men are eager to prove themselves, choosing to engage in an ancient, deadly, but costly pair-based ork hunting strategy. Before the beginning of the deployment they requested additional landspeeders and started hunting down greenskins using these light, agile machines. Soon, mountains and hills were running with xeno blood. But even with superior mobility and firepower, pairs of space marines quite often got caught off guard or surrounded before the other hunter pairs could close in to support them. In one exceptional stand, brother Lamachius and Donnar managed to detect a sub-klan of 1300 greenskins. The firepower of their Landspeeder Tornado allowed them to cut a huge swathe right through the middle of their encampment, but one of a hundred rokkits launched their way found its mark and they went down in a blaze of glory. Even Krion, Hector's second-in-command, was once himself ambushed and lost his partner Midran in a brutal close quarters fighting. When Hector arrived with reinforcements, they found Krion up to his knees in blood and guts and missing his left arm up to the elbow - some ork nob literally tried to munch it off. Krion afterwards decided to use his skull as a decoration for his landspeeder. However soon, orks became as extinct as orks can be. For some years there will be news of a farmer discovering ork snot or a mini-grot in his garden, but it will take centuries for ork ecosystem to produce ork warriors again, if ever. Meanwhile their biggest warlord, Racksmasha... [roll d3]
1. Escaped off-world, allegedly headed to Pexar
2. Was spirited away by some mysterious ship that slipped past your radars, he was seen again in Tartarus
3. Went missing for 3d10 years, until he re-appeared with a surprise for the Chapter... [add event "Return of the Racksmasha]

8th Company gains:
+Hatred[Orks] (+10 bonus when fighting greenskins)

And for the fine rhymes, you can choose one of the following advantages:

a) Grav-Cavalry (+10 when fighting on landspeeders and double inflicted casualties vs. massed enemies)
b) Hunters (+10 bonus when pacifying defeated planets or mopping up stragglers)
c) Self-Reliant (8th company will be much more autonomous, learning to operate with little or no support from the Chapter. This will affect their ability to maintain their own vehicles, produce their own ammunition, better take care of their wounded, etc.)

22 marines lost their lives, 2d10 power armours were recovered, d3 Typhoon and d3 Tornado landspeeders were irrecoverably destroyed.

Imperial framework for allocations of ships is a byzantine, bureaucratic maze of regulations, protocols, century-long production plans, etc. You can always apply for aid from the central authorities, but normally your achievements are highlighted by the Favour you gain, as such without it you will receive support from Terra only when the Chapter is either participating in actions critical to greater strategical picture or when the bureaucrats finally realise that your Chapter might be destroyed if it doesn't receive such support, however in some cases they are too late, as you well know, some Chapters are almost beggars, relying primarily on the good will of the individual worlds to provide them with what they need.
