You still have 10,000 thrones on hand

The Freighter captain has been authorized to sell you anything he has on his ship, and has been instructed to buy the following items

Slaves
Provisions
Fuel
Trained warriors for use as mercenaries
High quality mineral ores

Available for sale they have
Industrial equipment
Military equipment
Personal items
Specialist contacts
Seeds for planting specialized crops

We could get up to 100,000 thrones selling slaves

10,000 selling excess food

And with peace more or less established on your planet, you could provide some of the young Geno-Lord warriors an outlet fighting as mercenaries... For a generous finder's fee of course

Do we want to buy or sell anything from your uncle?

What contacts do they have?

>>4185842
I second that. Selling our population(slave or no) seems counterproductive in the long run. That's a pop of thousands that will eventually be free in our pdf, industry etc.

>>4185842
Mercenaries, tech priests, trainers, priests pretty much write-in any specialist in 40k(Within reason)

Ask if they have anyone specialises in space station repair/salvaging? Admech?

>>4185871
We don’t really need an admech specialist since we already have tech priests who will work with us. We just need money for parts and labor

>>4185967
I'm more interested in those "specialized crops", as we went pretty heavy on the farming overall. Why exactly are they special?

>>4186072

You opt to buy as much as you can by selling as much as you can...

getting 100,000 thrones for the slaves (mountain realms -1)

Selling Geno-warrior mercenary contract to your uncle 50,000 thrones

Lord Rene Foulchier, second son of Edmund the Red, one of the most prominent Geno-Lords and five hundred other young lordlings have decided they want adventure and to see the galaxy, especially with peace on Halon Primaris.

Armed with mostly primitve weapons and armor, you have your uncle provide them with modern weapons, including flak armor, lasguns and chainswords.

They have taken to naming the mercenary company the Company of the Star, with Lord Foulchier, serving as its Captain-Commander.

They have no idea how dangerous the galaxy is outside their backwater planet.....

Finally you unload some of your excess food stores, picking up another 10,000 thrones

You opt to spend 50,000 thrones on Tigorian Blood grape seeds, and Dark Recaf bean seeds, in order to start farming more profitable crops.

Finally you request additional Admech and Ecclesiarchy support. In the form of a higher ranked techpriest and some proper missionaries, skilled in bringing primitive lost worlds to the Emperor's light.

That will cost 20,000 thrones

All said

+100,000
+50,000
+10,000
160,000 revenue
70,000 expense
90,000 profit

Bringing cash reserves back to 100,000

>>4186903
I forgot about the industrial equipment purchase

For 40,000 you could get one of the following


A. Lasguns, multilaster, lascannons, laspistols manufacturing equipment
B. Promethium refinement facility
C. Heavy plastic composite factory, making plastic, armaplas and plasteel, key for making armor and military grade items

And for 60,000 you could get
D. Heavy engine factory for armored and industrial vehicles
E. Aircraft engine factory, for atmospheric craft of all sizes

>>4186973
B. Promethium refinement facility

This will get us income from ships stopping by for supplies and refueling and inevitable tourism and trade.

Might even get Naval patrols in our area once in a while due to our "strategic logistics value".

To move things forward, we will buy the laser manufacturing equipment and the Prometheum fuel refining equipment from your uncle for 80,000 total

While the prometheum we refine from oil will be mid-grade, suitable for ground vehicles and some aircraft, it will will require more advanced refining technology to make starship and advanced aircraft grade fuel.

>>4187455
What shall we have the laser factory initially focus on producing?

A. Lasguns for the infantry
B. Lascannons for support and anti-armor
C. Multillasers for suppresssion and support

Multilasers, either mounted on vehicles or on a tripod or small wheeled carriage, essentially serve as automatic lasguns, putting down suppressing fire, highly effective against poorly armored foes and can even penetrate power armor and light vehicle armor when hitting vulnerable spots of multiple rapid hits to the same spot of armor

These weapons will now be mass-produced on Halon Primaris in the Halon Arms production plant, on the outskirts of the Imperial settlement

>>4187636
Things calm down with the departure of your Uncle's freighter, as the manufacturing lines get set up and begin churning out product, while the burgeoning growth of the Imperial settlement continues, with workers brought in from all over the planet to work the factories and hundreds of small businesses sprouting up to support the new residents and serve their every need, with a restaraunt district, entertainment district and even a shopping district beginning to develop in the settlement.

You have a ceremony to celebrate the first Halon Motors T-1 model truck roll of the assembly line, the first models being stripped down versions meant to work on the farm-estates of the geno-lords hauling crops, tools and workers around the acres of farmland.

Building 30 trucks a day, it wont take long to fulfill your first contracts with the geno-lords and mechanist guild for utility vehicles

gain 10,000 thrones from initial completion of contracts

With the trucks selling very well, what kind of area should we expand into

A. Luxury trucks, with cameras, viewscreens, fans, fine leather/cloth seats and other boondoggles for the wealthier people of Halon Primaris
B. Military/Police trucks- with a mounted heavy stubber or multilaser and some light armor plating, otherwise stripped down, these can be used as light troop carriers or as mobile fire support for police forces and military forces
C. Dedicated offroad designs, designed to carry extra fuel, be extra rugged and stand up more to the elements and driving on non-existent roads. Good for work in the desert/safari area and the mountains as well,. also for hunting and oil/mineral exploration in the rougher more inaccessible parts of the planet

You opt to expand your internal security forces, given your financial situation and the state of the current enforcement bureau, the first step in expansion will be to recruit more men for the bureau.

Currently we have sent a few trusted security officers from the fleet, and a few admin officials mainly to watch over senior Guildsmen and Geno-Lords ensuring they are not violating your laws and trust, and that they are paying their tithes properly and on time. As it stands now, they have to call for help if they face any kind of resistance, as they have just a handful of men on site, and are surrounded by thousands of potential enemies.

Recruiting 1000 men to join the enforcers would give them more "teeth" behind their enforcement and help with keeping control over local leaders. It also will give them the manpower to start looking into major crimes and dealing with big-time criminals.

It will cost 10,000 thrones to recruit the men, as we can arm them from the ship's armories. but still owe them wages, as well as basic food and lodging.

Where should we recruit them from?

A. The Imperial Settlement and the fleet
B. The Mountain realms
C. Freed Geno-Realms slaves(half price)

>>4189407
The raising of the new enforcer troops is well timed, as it has come time to begin collections of the annual tithes, with your total income for year being 50,000

25,000 due to tithes and 25000 from your farm estate and automotive business and arms business.

>>4189583
>>4189609
You fund an expedition from the Imperial settlement, into the deep desert, which while technically is ruled by the Geno-Lords is totally undeveloped and uninhabited.

Using a ingenious plan devised by one of the tactical officers on the Bold Venture, a truck or a low flying aircraft with one of the spare augur arrays can use its sensors to detect objects underground, or more specifically air pockets and congealed fluid, indicating oil deposits dozens of feet underground. Using an offroad truck and a small airship, a large oilfield has been located, with an estimated 500 billion barrels of oil available for drilling.

With a dozen wells set up at the best sites, we could pump 10 million barrels a year, which can be refined into 1 million barrel of promethium a year, plus other fuels left over from the refining process, most notably kerosene, which can be used to power airships and other locally produced vehicles.

For 20,000 thrones we can get the oil pumps drilled and set up, but we will need a method of moving the oil from the drill site to the refineries, this will require a pipeline to be built to the Imperial settlement. That will cost another 20,000 thrones.

However the fuel generated could net us 20,000 in thrones a year in domestic sales alone. We could also use it as an export product, as our grade is an efficient high octane fuel for ground vehicles and some aircraft, of interest to Imperial institutions and passing traders.

A. Build the drills and the pipeline(40,000 thrones)

That's an excellent point phase out the current from birth slaves but placate the geno-lords by making the punishment for crimes set periods of indentured servitude with life sentences replacing capital punishment.

>>4190413
Exactly. I wish I got around reading the thread sooner. We'll have a penal legion soon enough and the additional slave labor should placet the Geno lords. The Mountain people can't say shit unless they wanna look like ass hats to the other powers.
>"Slaves have rights! even convicted criminals!"

Another thing is to eventually look for Pskers within this place. We'll need consolidate any recorded Pskers on the planet so they're less liable to fall to chaos and so them may serve the Emperium of Man. And possibly for the Black Ships if they ever come this far or if we have to send Pskers to one.

>>4190477
A caveat I would add is anyone caught falsely sentencing people so as to create slaves automatically becomes a lifer. The system is at risk of corruption.

But we need to be absolutely uncorruptible, otherwise our penal system will be a joke.
Another caveat may that they will be probably less prisoners than there is born slaves
A third caveat is that it will be tempting to purposefully keep people in poverty, so they have no other solution than be criminals to survive, so we can enslave them.

I still support it, better than born-slaves, creates interesting moral choices.

I don't remember but did we ever fully fix the space station yet? I recall investing 5 or 10k thrones in total for the thing, which I think means we need to invest 40 or 45k thrones to fully refully refurbish it?

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Old_Hundred

Basically genetic warriors v1, that were improved upon with the thunder warriors, then space marines and custodes later

Sorry if this is too much info, just trying to paint the whole picture

During the great crusade they were purged/killed off through attrition in endless campaigns in the lore, these guys are the descendants of a expeditionary fleet cut off by warp storms, which is the only reason they are still alive. They have only preserved a portion of their technology and have devolved into an aristocratic class ruling over the non-enhanced humans around them

Maybe once we have the funds, we could scour the station indepth for any evidence, or get a Tech-Priest up here to see if their keen mechanical eyes could find anything.
Also are converting Death Row inmates into slave or servitors optional?

Between the normal means to produce a space marine and a Geno-warrior, which requires the lest amount of time and resources to produce?

>>4192215
Geno-warriors are easier to produce, one reason there aren't hundreds of thousands of Geno-warriors now is that the Geno-Lords didn't want to create too many Geno-warriors in relation to the human population, in order to keep them as a relatively small priveleged group

Excerpt from previous thread
Without the effects of attrition from fighting constantly the original 4,000 strong Geno regiment has grown be over 20,000 warriors
Based on conversations with Tarius and others you have learned some of the basics of the Geno warrior creation process. Genetic material is taken from existing Gene warriors and fallen gene warriors and returned to the pool, from this genetic material pool there is a surgical and chemical process that changes you into a gene warrior. It takes 3 years to fully transform, and is often performed on children, where the enhancements have the greatest effect. There is a small chance of death from the procedure (5-10%) in children, lower in adults, however full grown adults benefit less from the enhancements and as such it is only done in the rarest of cases.

For reasons known only to the Emperor, the procedures to become a Geno warrior only work on males

The geno treatments increase toughness, speed and strength, extension of lifespans to 250-300 years old

There are side effects, which include emotional and mental instability, especially at old age
There is also a small chance of sterilization from the procedure

The Geno Lords often enhance their own progeny but not always, with a distinction made between their favored sons, the ones that are genos and their natural sons, non-genos. They are also known to use slave women and the human slave population in general as breeding stock, attempting to create the strongest children possible, and on rare occasions even adopting promising slave children into their own family.

Natural sons are often treated as bastards by the more traditional lords, while other lords use them as administrative personnel and other roles where the physical stature is less important.

You decide to search the planet for psykers, fulfilling your duty to the God-Emperor and also dealing with the security threat of potential rogue psykers.

Under the guise of conducting a census, you have several of your astropaths put into trucks along with your enforcer agents, going house to house to try to sense any psychic potential.

The results are that around 100 very weak pyskers are found, barely registering to the astropath, while a half dozen mid-level psychic potential individuals have been located across the planet.

A heavily guarded camp has already been built for them in the depths of the desert. By Imperial law we should hand them over to the Black ships when they arrive, which may be decades or centuries from now, or we could try to secretly train them ourselves, or finally we could simply liquidate them, as they are a lot of trouble.

The big question is if we really want to put that in us. The issue is the potential for long term mental issues and mental stability, which will worsen as we age.

>>4192716
Are there an augmentations and therapy methods that, IF the general consensus is to use the Geno modding method, we could take to balance out the problem of mental instability? Could the Longevity therapy surgery thing be compatible with the geno modding? If we don't know then we could offer to apple the idea to one of their elder lords, which would no doubt boost our relations with them greatly. Though if we do so it would have to be one of their more benevolent ones.

Would it be more affordable to purchase star ships or convert the space station into a ship building port?

>>4192985
That's not a bad idea. While we're at it lets do what you suggested and call up some bio magos through our uncle or something. They'll fine tune our gene warriors, and soon enough, given a decade or two, we'll have a source or loyal unaffiliated chapter quality space marines to protect our little pocket of the galaxy. if we train them in void combat then they would make for excellent boarding parties.

You decide to try to start a highly illegal secret pysker training program. For this you will need a powerful trained pysker to train them, as well as powerful security measures against potential hazards such as breakout attempts and demonic possessions....

If done right, geno-implantation would have minimal side effects, while extending your speed, strength and lifespan, however it would take very good relations 3+ to ask the geno-lords for such a thing. So far we have not asked them to make any changes or to do anythign regarding the geno enhancement process.

Even if we brought in a biologos magos to help fine tune the gene-warrior program, it will never be as good as Astartes, who are a more advanced and complicated version of the same technology developed by the Emperor himself.

Think of them having a niche power level between regular humans and space marines.

If they could be trained and equipped as such they would make excellent assault troops and void troops, likely some of the best in the galaxy, short of space marines and some xenos troops

Let's only train the mid level ones but send the weak ones to be sacrificed to the emperor. Best of both worlds.

Oh uhm.... wow.

Uuuhhhh.... ok then. So, let's put the Psyker training on hold for now but keep an eye on all of them. In the mean maybe we can ask on of our Adepts about legal and illegal means of procuring a trained psyker for the purpose of tempering the potential of other psykers so they may better serve our lord. We need mad nerd skills and laws.

>>4193012
Also star forts are rare and likely not for sale, new ships would be significantly more expensive than fixing a small space station. With the smallest escorts starting at 100k

Fixing the space station and arming it with AS (anti-space?) batteries it is then. Later when we have more finding that is. We gotta keep up on thhe cash crops for a bit longer and possibly hiring a modest sided battle ship from our uncle to guard the system for a time, or get an estimate of how much it would cost to hire a full crew + ship annually.

With what the other anon said:
>A caveat I would add is anyone caught falsely sentencing people so as to create slaves automatically becomes a lifer. The system is at risk of corruption.
If anyone, ANYONE. Doesn't matter if they are a geno-lord or not. If they or anyone falsely condemn people to work as slaves then they too shall be put to use. Willing or not (coughs in Servitors). The Geno-lords are supposed to be noble or such should they not?

With your cash reserves dropping low again, you need to find ways of increasing your income and improving your control over Halon Primaris and its integration into a true single realm from a fractured world of divided factions...

To this end you have asked around for some ideas for great events you could hold to gather the important people of the planet....

There are several ideas based on the traditions of the planet...

The mountain realms enjoying motor racing, ever since they rediscovered how to build basic engines and powered machines. They prefer to build small sleek airships, built for speed and manueverability.

Giant flag posts and posts holding massive rings are erected in the desert, where pilots are challenged to fly through the rings or tightly turn around the flags on a 6 hour long course, that involves finesse, endurance and a little luck to come out the winner...

The borderlands have been known to host some of the most impressive wildlife on the planet, particularly the might sahara Lion, a massive predatory cats weighing 200-300 lbs of pure muscle, known for their stealthiness and aggressiveness, particularly against the livestock of farms in the region, the geno-lords are known for launching great hunts, with small parties of noblemen going into the wilderness to hunt for the beast, using specially made sahara rifles, massive scoped bolt-action rifles designed for hunting big game, sporting .30-.50 caliber rounds, rounds large enough to cut a human in half if you hit them center body mass.

Often hunters are killed searching for their deadly quary, but its a great honor to have a lion pelt in one's home....

Finally, the geno-lords have a tradition of duelling among themselves, as a bloodsport and contest of strength during peaceful times, fighting with weighted, dulled iron swords warriors fight to the last man standing, with each noble house sending a handful of fighters to the tournament....

Right now, we have time for one major event in the coming season, but we could do the other events in later years.

but lets modify it a bit. I dunno if the Imperium has any 3D display technology or if it's heretical or not, but why not replace the metal rings with Sevoskull projectors or something? Replace the solid poles and rings with a hand full of servoskulls that project the image of a giant ring. This way if there's a major fuck up the racers are less liable to crash into the poles and die, and if they hit on of the skulls then another one will just fly up to take it's place while the surviving ones maintain the hologram.

Less people are less liable to die via "flag post accidents" and just about anyone can do it. Something everyone will enjoy.

You opt to hold an aero race, inviting all of the notables on Halon Primaris to attend, you take to calling it the Blackwood classic.

Dozens of racing teams from all across the mountain realms are assembled with the geno-lords even fielding a few teams and a team being formed from the Imperial Settlement, from old crew members of the Bold Venture.

The first round of races are relatively uneventful, with a handful of teams having engine problems and failing to complete the course, eliminating the weakest half of the teams leaving notably the Imperial team and several of the established teams competing for the Blackwood Cup.

While you shouldn't play favorites, you find yourself supporting the Imperial team, racing their own custom built airship the East Wind, against some very talented native crews, who have become natural pilots able to sense the flow of the winds, use them to carry their ships farther and faster....

The next round goes better than expected for the Imperial team, with them beating several established teams to get into the final round of 4 teams competing, unfortunately, while passing one of the last rings, they badly damaged one of their engines, and based on talking to their crew chief, they have no spares available.

You could help them on the sly, and have an aero engine brought secretly brought in....

A. Secretly help the Imperial team win
It really sucks if none of the teams can't compete due to a "lack of engine". Materials shouldn't hinder a sport of skill, so why not?
Alternatively would it be possible to get a Tech priest to repair their engine instead?

You decide to let things play out, without your interference. With a damaged engine the Imperial team is forced to drop from the final championship round. Where the last 4 remaining teams must race around several large flags, atop several hundred feet high poles in the desert, along with a series of 3 rings at the end, with one atop a high pole, one a low pole and the final one a medium pole, forcing the pilot to rapidly manuever and change altitude to finish the course....

A mechanist guild backed team is the favorite, widely regarded to have the best machine and the best pilot, Gregor McKidd, who accompanied by his copilot/flight engineer have one similar races in the past. Their airship painted red and gold, for the Mechanist guild is called the Independence.

The second most favored is an Independent team from a poor village in the southern mountain realms, who have unexpectedly suvived to the championship round, and have raced extremely well, executing virtually all manuevers with perfection. Their ship is blue and white, and called the Mountain Clipper, named after the small trade airships that ply the mountain towns.

>>4194841
The final race is dramatic, with the 2 favored teams neck and neck, but the pressure seems to get to the team of the Mountain clipper, with a bad turn, costing them several seconds, and putting them behind the mechanist backed team who wins the championship....

You have a small feast and present the Blackwood Cup to the winning team, a finely crafted golden goblet with a stenciled airship on it you had made specially for the event...

Things are slow for several days as you recover from the food and drink and pleasant chats with various local leaders at the races when you are notifed that the Bold Venture has received a distress signal from an industrial world several days warp travel away.

You know almost nothing about the planet aside from its classification and that its ruled by House Viggan, an old noble house in the region....

I'm kind of regretting not getting the Las gun outfit for the bulk of our army. Are the geno warriors capable of straight up lifting the bug automatic laser guns and shooting them?

>>4195038
They are capable of handling heavy weapons, like a space marine/space marine scout would. We also have ship's armories to arm the men with. As it stands we are effectively sending our entire PDF minus some geno-warriors and local militias. At this point our military is small enough that between their existing equipment and things borrowed from the armory they can be equipped with some decent gear

>>4195041
Are we joining then to investigate?
The only things that comes to mind when they mention Space Hulk are Trynids or Orks.

Finally got through reading the threads, holy shit how have we not managed to start a revolt over our tyrannical heresy. We are selling slaves that we just promised would (eventually) be freed to fucking xenos, and we are not even hiding it.
What the fuck.

>>4195062
we will see with our update, is stil our duty to help them. It could just remain doing nothing in a part of their system

>>4195100
not exactly
is something large
and out of our current ships reach

>>4195109
i didn t want that as well

>>4195109
I know right? Like step the fuck up guys, but I can think of a way to bullshit a legitimate reason for doing so. What with this place only recently being freed from warp storms we could say we had to get as much as we could done (trading slaves for resources) before any xenos or chaos worshippers honed in on their virgin planet. If we didn't then we'll get fucked twice as hard. Maybe not that word for word but you get my point.

If the "Space Hulk" is as bad as I think it will be, then hopefully the few natives we take with us to fight (which I hope won't be necessary) will relay their tales of horror to the rest of the people. You know to sort of cement our justification for the heretical slave trading.

>>4195118
We must call upon the power of diplomacy and bullshit. Perhaps after this is all well and done we might increase our standing with the various lords and factions of the planet.

Your ships arrive in the system after a short, uneventful trip through warp space.

The massive space hulk immediately shows up on the augur scopes, and is quickly magnified on the vid screens around the bridge. The hulk utterly dwarfs your two ships, which are moderately sized by Imperial standards.

You are hailed by a strong tight-beam vox signal from the Acheron Prime

"I am Lord Governor Alexander Viggan, identify yourself immediately."

"I am Lord Governor Jakob Blackwood, responding to your distress signal"

"Ah yes, the space hulk, I sent my warship to investigate and the hulk and take its treasures, but the damned fool captain must have made some kind of mistake, as we lost contact with the ship several days ago after I ordered the captain to dock with the space hulk"

The tone of the Governor is disdainful and patronizing at the same time, despite the fact that you have come to assist him and he lost his only warship...

Also "the damned fool captain must have made some kind of mistake, as we lost contact with the ship several days ago after I ordered the captain to dock with the space hulk" does NOT sounds good at all. Sounds like a kind of words you find in a journal, on the dead body of the reckless explorer

>>4195109
Yeah, we commited some spicy heresy in the last thread. Turned out allright tho

>>4195211
>B. Promptly leave this fool to his own troubles
I don't think we're equipped to handle a space hulk right now.

>>4195276
I think I'll support this. Maybe some questions first before we dedicate anything.

>>4195211
What forces and armaments did the ship have?

>>4195276
I mean we don't really need to "handle" it right now. We need to look at the thing that killed previous captain, and bail, maybe yonk some archotech on the way back

>>4195285
Based on talking to the other governor it was a sword-class frigate with a complement of 3 companies of infantry aboard to investigate the space hulk

Sure enough scans show a sword-class docked along side, not emitting any signals or power signature....

>>4195313
oh wait. 3 companies is a lot, right? more than we have? And I guess they docked the entire ship instead of sending people on shuttles or something.
Also in think those are almost certainly tyranids

>>4195333
less than we have, thats about 300 men, we brought around 5000

>>4195313
>Then there are the troops of the mountain realms, armed with flak quality armor and autoguns. In the mountain realms are made up of several distinct polities with their own elder councils that all are bound together by the same flag and culture,

>Despite their best efforts, the regiment's quartermaster and warsmiths were not able to recreate the production of their original equipment, although several attempts have been made, and they have developed a sort of heavy carapace-grade armor, although without power servos and ceramite plating, is inferior to the partial power armor that the regiment was originally equipped with.Due to the expensive and difficulty of production, only a few thousand suits of this armor have been made, with most geno warriors using flak-quality armor with chainmail overlays, and are armed with stub pistols and chain weapons, with only their greatest warriors and house members wielding their most ancient weapons.

>You opt to gather your first 2 PDF regiments, light infantry formed from mountain realm troops, native recruits and some Imperial settlers, trained by the Wild Boars mercenaries, they are armed with basic gear and fight as light infantry.

You also bring the Wild Boars and 1000 Geno-warriors.

>The Wild Boars- Mostly ex-Elysian mercenaries, effectively the equivalent of 3 overstrength, and very well equipped Imperial guard airborne regiments. They are on the second year of a 5 year contract they signed with your uncle.

A sword-class frigate is a kind of frigate right? About the same size as ours or slightly smaller I think.
I change my mind, lets go balls deep. Dibs on the hulk if we play our cards right. Did we bring any promethium?

>>4195333
You tell me if that's a lot. We got 2 regiments (A regiment is almost 10x bigger than a company) worth of PDF armed with Flakk tier armor and autoguns, 1000 Genewarrios armed with heavy carapace armor, and a veteran regiment.
We are OVER prepared. or not.

>>4195340
Do we have shuttles? or anything to send the suicide scouts, but not dock to the thing directly?

>>4195350
We probably have a couple on our ship. How else would we had been able to make landfall?

>>4195348
not expert in military terms, especially in english, so thank you for clearing that out for me. Yeah, we gotta at least check what is in there.
But remember, there are only that many people you can cramp in the spaceship corridor to form some sort of a firing line

>>4195354
makes sense

>>4195350
>>4195354
>>4195359
>>4195362
We have a dozen shuttles, including a few heavy ones, for moving things between the surface and our ship. We brought most of them with us, so we can land several hundred men at a time if we attempt to dock with the frigate

>>4195359
True, but there are also wide space with the narrow ones. Both of which are, probably not going to matter unless we're going down there into combat i.e. leave it to the npc's to handle combat themselves.

On a plus not I'm stupid for forgetting we actually own 2 starships. One is the personal one we now own that we purchased from our uncle- Bold Venture. The other ship is the Fiery Hand, and I'm not sure if we own it or it belongs to the Mercenary Company we have under hire.

>>4195365
Let the Geno-warriors be the first to land followed up by the our Infantry. They need to make contact with the docked ship but prepare a path for escape in case things get dicey to they can escape, covering them with artillery fire from the ship if need be. It should go without saying we should avoid friendly fire.

>>4195369
+1 on that, sounds like a plan.
Geno-warriors are melee specialists, so they obviosly go first, but I think we wait for a report before sending the main bulk of our forces

>>4195377
They're not necessarily melee specialists, but they are overall faster, stronger, and tougher than the normal human being. I just figured they'd be great for initally holding a position until we can flood the area with corpses- I mean armed infantry to secure a checkpoint.

>>4195388
I'm pretty sure I remember something about how they good at melee from the first thread. Or I am just going insane

>>4195388
>>4195392
I mean they are naturally talented at it, from their superior speed and strength, so its fair to say that they are better at melee than a typical human soldier

>>4195377
>>4195369
You decide to investigate the space hulk, sending a shuttle full of geno-warriors to make the intitial boarding...

The initial shuttle is able to link up with one of the airlocks on the frigate, and using passcodes from governor are able to open the airlock door. Inside they find corridors, splattered with blood, claw marks and blast scars from lasfire and bullets, but no corpses, they quickly push their way into a tactical control room and what an armory room, with several weapons and armor sets sitting unlooted.

Unfortunately whatever killed the men, destroyed the computer consoles and vidscreens, leaving speculation and further scouting the only way to find out more....

A few hundred men quickly board and set up barricades and multilasers in defensive positions in chokepoints. Your officers are confident they have the men to push to the bridge and take control of it....

A. Land more men and send men to take the bridge of the lost frigate
B. Pull everyone out
C. Other(Write-in)

>>4195437
C. Other(Write-in)
The only things that could do this is either genestealers or tyranids. Probably both now. Inform the governor of the bad news, and let us see if we can get a tech priest there to repair the console enough for the frigate to pull out. Or at the very least, blow up the platform connecting the frigate to the Space Hulk.

Let's inform our Uncle of this finding. This might be just beyond the governor's and ours capabilities should this be just as bad as I think it will be.
Arm the weapons of the frigate just in case.

>>4195437
A. We need to at least take this hip with us
We also need to push this really quck, because the second one tyranid sees us, they will start flooding the frigate in reinforcements, and I do not think we can win the war of attririon.
Or space hulk tyranids are less smart than usial ones? Because they disconnected from the bigger hivemind?

You have reinforcements landed on the frigate, along with a techpriest and some explosives. Three groups of your men are sent out from the small section you have taken, one group to the airlock linking the ship to the rest of the space hulk, one to the bridge and one to the engine room....

Several tense minutes go by before each team reports that they have reached their positions, with the techpriest saying he can get the ship moving again in a few hours...

In the meantime, the team has secured the airlock connecting the ship to the rest of the hulk and should have the explosives ready in a few minutes.....

They report hearing clanging of flesh on metal, like something running in the distance, and hissing and screeching approaching the airlock......

>>4195554
Im sorry to leave you in suspense, I have to go, I will pick this up tomorrow morning

>>4195554
few minutes is might be too slow, soo, you know..
open fire at the airlock

>>4195554
Ready weapons of the Fiery Hand to lay down firing support. Ready external weaponry of the Lunar class Frigate. Pray to the Emperor that your first battle shall not be your last.

>>4195572
>and should have the explosives ready in a few minutes.....
Maybe they need something with a higher explosive yeah. Like explosives.

>>4195437
Get them out of there! Immediate withdrawal of all forces! Hello lid set the frigate to self destruct if we had propped access to the machine spirit.(which I doubt from sms description).

Space marine chapters struggle to contains space hulks, what were we going to do? All but confirmed genestealer/possible demonic pressene? The mission and the frigate are a right off. Even if we got it moving, it's contaminated now. Untrustable ever again.
Also preemptive, full quarantine and examination of any surviving pdf members.

>>4195714
Nothing a little purity seals and repressed technophile techpriests can't fix.
Usually Space Marines are super zealous about charging in and fighting, right? On the plus side we have a lot of guns, some almost space marines, a bottle neck killzone, and big guns. Although you sorta of have a point. However, it's a bit too late now.

>>4195554
I liked this anon's idea. Would it be such a bad idea to order the big guns to shoot the portion of the bridge that connect the ship to the Space Hulk to separate conventional means of crossing? Can we aim the big gun?

Any way the team in the engine room could collaborate with the Techpriest to activate the engines to push to ship away?

>>4195714
That bad writing, empower forgive me.
Seriously though, dealing with a space hulk is like disarming a landmine: only a matter of time until it blows up in your face.
Also the pysker program is an extremely bad idea in everyway. We can just requisition some more trained pyskers from our uncle. Untrained/weak/unbound pyskers easily draw warp entities/demonic incursions like rats bring disease. Especially as we JUST had warpstorms ease up, bad timing to be fucking with the warp my friends

>>4195733
The Space Hulk game demonstrated just how shit canned fighting Tyranids can get, but we're already on there. Fuck if I know, maybe fire the side guns of the ship and pray that the recoil of the guns causes it to be pushed away? ( >>4195554 would that work?)

Right. That was before I knew that training Psykers was extremely illegal. That's a my bad. Should we just put all our Psykers in a gellar field box building until the Black Ships get here? What if we just give them to our uncle? is there no way to just keep training them and deck them out in a shit ton of holy icons?

>>4195731
Even if we get the frigate detached In Time, weed either turn it over to the local lord or keep it. One would certainly be an act of heavy aggression/almost piracy (even the smallest escort ships are stupidly expensive and time consuming to make or are proud ancient battelscarred relics) the other would easily allow the genestealer taint to spread to the planet nearby. (These things are insidious and extremely proficient at infiltrating societies. They can even infect the survivors with there taint through wounds).

TLDR: this frigate is radioactive one way or another.

>>4195752
Apply more guns? Once we separate we can do an in depth scan by sending in a shit ton of servitors, robots, plus whatever techniques the imperium uses to hunt them down. We'll hold onto the frigate for a month's time to make sure the ship is absolutely genestealer free. Once that's done we'll give the ship back and use our word swords to ask for compensation for saving his ship IN ADDITION to purging it of the cursed xenos presence.
Once the ship is away from the Space Hulk and we managed to purge a majority of them, would the Tyranid presences be small enough to use a Pysker to weed them out, or would that still be too dangerous?

>>4195750
No worries.
Almost all pyskers outside of the most potent/heavily monitored are either unable to handle the rigors of pyskic training required to be trusted/not a walking timebomb or are EVENTUALLY brought to the emperor himself to be bound(and thus protected from demonic influence) to a spark of his soul. This too kills/cripples/mindfucks most pyskers. That's what the black ships are for, food for the emperor and/or binding/training of the most powerful/resilient/lucky pyskers in the Scholastica Psykana.
Those two outcomes are extremely closely monitored by his holy inquisition, fucking with it or going around it in anyway is .........problematic to long-term health and prosperity.
Our uncle? Maybe. Keep them for decades or centuries? Unlikely. A bullet and a pYre? A mercy.

>>4195752
But beyond how shit fucked the situation might be, what should we do with the Space Hulk at large? Call some Space Marines to deal with it? Hire lots of mercs to clear it out? Call up dear old uncle and collaborate with him and the Governor of the neighboring planet to see if we can accumulate a large enough collective force to take the Space Hulk from the xenos? I want to say nuke it, but I think that might risk chunks of ships with genestealers in them to fly everywhere.

Mmmmmm. What if we..... what if we picked a single point on the ship and started a campaign to kill as many of them as we can? We'll free a space ship one at a time, give it a year to clear each of them out, and rinse and repeat?

Do you know if there are any tractor beats or something? You know sci-fi beams that pulls things closer to you, but in this case pull the docked Frigate to us?

>>4195773
Ok. That makes sense. So what if we cancel the program but collect the Pyskers in a camp / building with an anti space magic field where they live relatively comfortably? Maybe we should call our Uncle for his insight.

>>4195763
Not impossible, just really dicey.
The genestealers are the special forces of Tyranids, going behind enemy lines is there mo. They'd enter a kind of hibernation in the small city like sized vessel. Could we find everyone or qarentie noone gets infected when we do find them? 100% , no. So it's all a risk. Your call, I say no kill like overkill.
Not sure about pyskers, I'd say limited effectiveness. Tyranids have a ....unusual relation to the warp, like a kind of "shadow in the warp". Not sure if genestealers have that.

>>4195752
naah, it is not that bad. If we can deattach the ship right now, (by shooting the airlock zone) we, or local governor can just give it a good slow methodical cleanup, it is not that big of a ship for it to be impossible.

>>4195790
What if we kill as much as we can and hand the trouble over to our uncle then? We probably get paid and we don't have to deal with the issue of a Space Hulk.

You also bring a good point about a potentially infected shit. Maybe we say "I apologize Lord Governor Alexander Viggan, but at this very moment I cannot in good faith return this frigate back into you control for feat of any hibernating tyanid or genestealer that may have escaped our sensors. if but one was able to make it to your world, it could spell potential doom. Therefore, I must hand this vessel over to more capable hands such as Lord Matheuz Blackwood."

>>4195785
Well, that's kinda the problem. I was shitting myself alittle when he said space hulk because it's simply out of our weight class to handle in any meaningful way.
Call space marines to take a shot at it? Sure!
We can take a chance at it of course, and if it were anything else on it (OTHER xenos, chaos, orks, or just plain abandoned) I'd have agreed to slow but steady cleanse/loot what we can. But genestealers are like a plague and an insidious one at that. We wouldn't even know if we failed to isolate from them completely until it was too late. Remember a space hulk is rocks/ships debri/lost ships all smashed together (roughly the size of a large metropolis to a small continent) and floating for 100s or 1000s of years randomly in the warp(aka phychic demon realm) until they randomly pop back in to our reality.....almost always temporarily. This is a treasure, that's haunted, will randomly disapear at a moment's notice and is CURRENTLY acting as a trojan horse of visions intelligent alien terrorists.

And I'd remind you....they already slaughtered the entire ship our men are on.....do you really think they just up bad left it afterwards?....

Many of the ship's on this thing will be damaged/destroyed/xenos/ancient/ or take days or weeks to break free if at all.
(We could easily playy an entire campaign about clearing and harvesting a space hulk btw)

No tractor beams I've ever heard of. Sorry.

We could house the latent pyskers, in a Gellar field (anti warp field) however there usually used on space ships the size of cities...and are complex and expensive.
Yeah best option you've mentioned is our uncle taking them somewhere else. We don't exactly have a phone number for any inquisitors to ask for a garbage pickup.

I honestly think cutting and running (with or without the firestorm frigate) is the best plan. That space hulk can doom a system. We do not have what it takes to stop it, period. We hope it leaves soon, or we call in support and grab our butts. Of course we could send our forces on a suicide run to loot and scoot as much as possible.

>>4195800
Your not wrong. It's possible, I just don't like the risk for a frigate we don't REALLY need. Still, you are right.

>>4195826
That might work, he IS kinda our connection to the outside world for now.
He'd be better equipped to clean it then we would.

>>4195859
send troops on a suicide mission for them only to find 1 singular archotech fork? hell yeah

>>4195866
Hahaha, that settles it. The archeofork must be reclaimed for the imperium of man, men! To arms!!!

>>4195859
and it is still not clear are those genestealers or just usial animal-like tyranids. On the other hand they were smart enought to destroy all of the computers, so I guess betting on the genestealers would be safer

>>4195865
Yeah. You made a good point about the Hulk being a Trojan Horse. We'll save the Frigate to leave it stranded, get the Governor to pay our uncle a finders fee to power clean the ship, and get our uncles council on what to do with the Hulk. He'll know if it'd be a good idea to call up Space marines or not.

We'll also need to stripe each and every trooper and screen them.

>>4195866
Maybe if we had a penal legion. Think about the Thones we'd earn for finding an STC or some Space Marine relic.

>>4195871
"animal-like tyranids" are pretty much just tyranids. We found no bodies anywhere, so it's safe to say we're dealing with both Genestealers and tyranids. You know because tyranids can turn humans into genestealers.

>>4195872
>>4195878

Truth. Though I hate penal legions. Prisoner soldiers are ALWAYS less effective then professional soldiers.
I second the palm to safe/strand/blackmail for uncles services.(that's a very rogue trader thing to do btw)

Yes, the genestealers can infect people through open wounds caused by there claws (sharp enough to cut through heavy power armor) and inject ....kinda tadpoles thingies. These will slowly turn a person's mind, and eventually there body to a small degree. It will make them heavily influencable by Tyranids organisms and massively increase breeding drive. The trick is any proginy they have will be HEAVILY mutated towards a genestealer. So you get a brainwashed cult, that in a few rapid generations turns into full fledged genestealers. Rinse, repeat.

>>4195945
So the guards that used to be in this ship are either dead, or going through the long process of becoming a fully fledged genestealer?

>>4195958
oh yeah, everyone who is taken is either a biomass for tyranids or a host for a genestealer

>>4195958
>>4195963
95% biomass (food/production material) 5% ...less host, more....gradual sleeper agent. It's there children and grandchildren that will be hybrids/full blood genestealers.
A common tactic by genestealers specifically is to randomly leave wounded survivors tat eventually get carried back by there wouldlbe saviors. They get treatment for minor wounds and then start to act strange days or weeks latter.

>>4195992
They start forming orgies, gangs, cults etc. That's why there so dangerous, there practically invisible, then they actively hide from you and undermine your government. Then one day, bam! More Tyranids.

>>4195992
yes, I know how those work, thank you.

There is a tense moment of near silence over the vox channel, as you can hear the distant screeching and sound of something approaching the troops around the airlock...

As a backup plan you have the fiery hand position itself to fire on the airlock section, targeting it with its thermal lance weapons....

The airlock controls are not responsive from the bridge and the men there have had to forcefully seal the heavy blast doors of the airlock best they can using muscle and teamworl. With the airlock not responding to commands the explosives will have to be used....

Most of the Geno-warrior company holding the airlock are pulled back leaving just a squad with the explosives and void sealed armor to hold the airlock and trigger the bombs....

As the last explosives are placed and set around the door, the noise gets louder and louder, and the men start firing their weapons into the airlock corridor.

Drawing their melee weapons the geno warriors are forced to fight near the gap to hold it.....

>>4196827
Discipline and the hot-blood of battle quickly consume the geno-warriors as several of the creatures breach through the gap in the airlock and engage your men in close combat, with the vox channel rendered effectively useless by loud war-cries and the screams of the wounded and dying, along with the violent screechs of the beasts....

You can only make out one phrase "For the Emperor!" before the explosives are triggered, blowing apart that section of the ship, leaving it exposed to the void, and violently ripping it away from the space hulk, with debris flying everywhere, including on to the planet below....

The squad holding the airlock has been wiped out to a man, and likely the beasts that breached as well....

While sad that your men fell in battle, you sigh a breath of relief and loosen your grip on the command throne, as the frigate was succesfully recovered, although you still wish you had a chance to loot the space hulk....

>>4196827
I also wanted to say to you guys that I agree with what you are saying about a deep cleansing of the ship and extreme checks for anyone with signs of infection, but our character would likely not know much about genestealers or tyranids. Except maybe some old star-sailor tales and stories from your Uncle

>>4196839
With this your are notified by the tactical officer that there are some large chunks of debris falling onto to the planet, more so than before, as apparently small pieces of debris had been falling onto it the entire time we have been in the system, the relatively inexperienced officer believing that to be a normal feature of space hulks.....

You are hailed on the Vox from the planet

"Blood hell, Blackwood, what the name of the Emperor are you doing up there?"

"We just detected a large explosion inside my frigate, and now pieces of the hulk are landing on my cities!"

>>4196906
>With this your are notified by the tactical officer that there are some large chunks of debris falling onto to the planet, more so than before
>more so than before
This implies that there had already been chunks falling to the planet before our intervention.

>>4196851
I only hope that the atmosphere of the planet is enough to burn the falling debris to ashes.

>>4196852
>>4196862
>>4196869
>>4196893
The Governor is livid, as several pieces of debris have destroyed homes, most landing in or around the major cities in the northern hemisphere

You try to explain that the crew of the ship wasn't found but all signs point to their deaths, and that the hulk is infested with an extremely dangerous type of Xeno.

The Governor does not believe you, and goes on an angry tirade blaming you for his ship being crippled and his city being damaged, accusing you of tricking him and trying to take the treasures on the space hulk for yourself......

Your tactical officer detects high powered augur sensor sweeps of your ships and energy spikes on the planet, as it seem several anti-orbital defense weapons have been activated...

The techpriest on the damaged frigate, believes it can move under its own power, including warp travel for at least a short trip, although it will need work, particularly on the interior systems to bring back to full effectiveness

You are also notified by the Bold Venture's Astropath that your Uncle has confirmed he received your message and the distress signal and that he is coming to the system in the next few days with several ships.....

We did bought it, and this is a perfect time to use it, "Acuity is an advanced drug manufactured by the Karelian trade league, and is their most popular item.

>>4197317
we can't do that, because "apparently" we don't know much about tyranids beyond rumors or what tever our uncle told us. Still a bit salty about that.

We could say just that were xenos in the space hulk.

Yupe, sorry friend. However this is the GRIMDARKNESS OF THE 41ST MILLENIUM, ignorence is bliss. Outside of the inquisition, or some highranking military organisations , most people(even nobles) wouldn't have access to much classified/forbidden knowledge.

>>4197291
Ultimately you send a message to your uncle that you are leaving the system due to the Governor's hostility and inform him you saw strange debris fall on the planet.

Should we take the frigate with us?

A. Take it for ourselves
B. Leave it behind for House Viggan to reclaim
C. Other(Write-in)

>>4197593
On one hand, if we leave it I think he'll just try to immediately go and chase after us and try to kill us for some non existing treasure. On the other hand if we take it he'll probably snitch and say we stole it, but he might also need it to kill all the xenos. Overall, my consensus is:
>A. Take it for ourselves
>C. Other(Write-in)
We're going to hold onto it and find an expert on aliens because we think he's an incompetent ass hat who can't even retrieve his own planet bumpkin ass ship. We'll keep it quarantined. Alien knowledge or none anyone who was involved with the boarding of the frigate is to remain there (or transported to a heavily isolated medical facility to be thoroughly examined, because filthy xenos be weird. Is this meta friendly or nay?

Does ANYONE in our crew and the veteran mercenaries we hired know a single thing about tyranids and genestealers? Anything at all? We got thousands of me so I hope they can pool in their collective knowledge regarding this matter.

>>4197593
I say we leave it, in hopes our uncle and his resources can scan/repair/cleanse it of foul xenos taint before the governor reclaims it. Even if he tried to attack is, he could just call in his allies to help him. A frigate won't really matter at that point.
Better to have the excuse "we left the ship to be quarantined of xenos filth" then to take it and appear even more like thieves.>>4197634
I don't see it likely any of our mercenaries would be familiar with Tyranids beyond, they exist, are xenos and are seriously scary. Let alone genestealer infestation methods. This is a galactic threat, and considerable lengths are taken to forbid such "dangerous knowledge".

>>4197593
> C. Other(Write-in)
We are sitting in the system untill our uncle arrives, and then figuring something up together.
Keep the channel with the local governor open, we need to talk him down into some sort of understanding, let's just hope his not compelitely cartoonishly dumb.
About his anty-space artillery, I'm pretty sure we can hide all our 3 small ships behind the space hulk, and there still will be space for fleet or two.

>>4197593
>B. Leave it behind for House Viggan to reclaim

>>4197827
That makes sense. He can't say we're stealing his ship if we're keeping it withing his solar system. No thief would just keep his ship in suck close proximity without good reason.

A least for now

>>4198225
>>4197827
>>4197634
>>4197655
You decide to take the frigate with your ships, but rather than leave the system immediately, you hide behind the space hulk from the planetary defenses, scrambling communications and blocking any planetary based scanners from looking at your fleet.

You opt to wait for your Uncle to arrive, as his political heft and wise council could perhaps convince the Governor to regain his senses, or at least provide insight into dealing with the Space Hulk.....

>>4198384
Your Uncle arrives in the system with 3 ships the next day, his massive Grand Star Galleon and flagship, The Blade of Avarice, along with a freighter and escort frigate.

He sends a message over the Vox, requesting to meet in the depths of the system, and to take a shuttle over with your senior staff , to have a meeting on the current situation...

I can see this ending in a few ways
>Uncle Blackwood comes and help sort things out. We talk down with the Governor, fix the xeno issue, save his planet and return his ship after getting paid.
>He somehow slips a message and some imperium ships come and attack us.
>some imperium ships come and attack the hulk.
>some space marines come and attack the hulk.
>we're fighting tyranids
>we're fighting tyranids on BOTH ships
>we fight anything but dont get paid and suffer more losses.
Bruh I just want to compensate our men.

>>4198399
You quickly dress up into one of your nicer uniforms, and gather the Captain of the Fiery Hand, along with your Master-at-Arms and several of your military officers.

After a quick shuttle ride, you board the Avarice Blade and are led, along with your men to massive conference room, part of your Uncle's personal quarters, with the finest furniture and various art and artifacts dotting the room, each more priceless than the last....

Your uncle keeps you waiting for several minute before appearing from the depths of his personal quarters, administrative official trailing him with dataslate in hand.

"Jakob!, how is very favorite Governor?"

"Please sit!, I'll have one of my finest bottles brought out for the group" He says as he points to a massive gold and jewel inlaid dining table

"Don't mind Tiago here, he can be trusted" he says pointing to the man behind him

"So I see theres a bit of trouble here with the space hulk"

"I did business with the last Viggan Governor, and this one sounds even worse than his father, who was a greedy paranoid fool, running a succesful industrial world into the ground in just one generation....."

"fill me in on what's happened so far"

You detail coming to the system and your interactions with Governor Viggan, as well as boarding the frigate and blowing it off the space hulk. Finally you attempt to describe the beasts, but all you have are a few vox recordings of combat with them. very little detail on their appearance....

Upon telling this to your uncle, he strokes his beard, in thought, before telling you, he would like to send a team to the frigate to investigate it, and if you have seen any debris land on the planet from the hulk.....

When you tell him that you've detected several pieces of debris falling on the planet, even before the frigate explosion, his face briefly expresses concern before he returns to his regular smug poker face....

>>4198557
He then addresses the table
"So, I need to tell you why I came myself and why I gathered you all here today"

I have been tracking this hulk for over a decade and I believe it to be space hulk #7462

Rumored to be deep inside the hulk is an artifact of great value to Ecclesiarchy, the Ossified heart of Saint Galatin, a mighty general who won a hundred battles in holy war against the xeno and the heretic, its very presence supposedly able to strengthen the courage and resolve of nearby faithful and inspire fear and self loathing in the Emperor's enemies.....

I have brought with me a special regiment of stormtroopers I have raised over the last few decades for the express purpose of boarding ships and hulks for loot and prisoner taking.....

With their strength combined, with those of your warriors, we could quickly secure the artifact and take it from the hulk.....

He outlines the general plan, before asking the staff and his assistant to leave the room for a few minutes so that the two of you may speak privately.

"Jakob, what I am about to tell you cannot leave this room under any circumstances, do you understand?"

"I believe I may know of what killed the frigate crew and your men on the hulk, I have taken to calling them body snatchers, as they have insectoid qualities, but can infect humans and have mind control abilities over those infected."

"They are extremely dangerous and any man who fights them must be extensively screened for infection afterwards....."

"I can tell you now, that while the artifact is of great interest to me, I have another purpose here, to capture one of the body snatchers alive, for testing and experimentation"

"I know a Magos who is interested in the Xeno's mindcontrol properties"

"While you lead most of the men to find the artifact, I will be leading a smaller team with the intent of encountering and capturing a small isolated group of the beasts...."

>>4198584
You notice he has not mentioned the planet below...

How do you respond
A. Uncle this is madness, we should leave at once, if these beasts are as dangerous as you say, and call the authorities

We probably love our uncle dearly. Hes a cool man, and I know this is a time sensitive issue due to the apparent difficulty of tracking down space Hulks, but we should probably afford a scant few moments to think:
>What should we do about the planet? The Govenor there made a compelling argument to NOT help him. What do we do about it AFTER we extract the artifact?
>Will the world need to be purged via exterminatus if the situation gets too terrible?
>Shall we pilfer the armory of our "borrowed" frigate to aid in the requisition of this artifact? This is less of a question and something we should do.
>Does our uncle have anything that could replace the war gear of our genowarriors for something better, at least for now? They are Astartes sized after all. We should be good on armor for our unaugmented infantry thanks to our last trade. Well, unless the frigate has better stuff, then we might as well use it. For the good of the Imperium of course.
>Consider several several distraction teams to make a lot of noise before retreating in the Hope's this lessens the difficulty of the main team. They make noise, attract attention, then reposition and repeat.
>Does he have any combat stimulants? For the troops?
>Is there any lore he can give us regarding this species of xenos, or does he know anyone reliable where we could gather more info after all of this is said and done?
>shall I have my men that boarded the Frigate be examined extensively and swapped out for a fresh set for boarding the hulk? Are there any easy symptoms to spot infections within their immune system and anatomy?
>note to self make extensive use of claymore explosives and of other varieties. Also all the explosives on the Frigate.
>So you know where exactly in the Hulk is the artifact? By any chance of good fortune do you have a route already planned through your decade of preparation?
>Is there a know weakness to this alien menace? Promethium Flamers? Flesh eating viruses? Both?
>Beyond the Artifact, does he know of any other artifacts that might be within, or anything more common that would be worth taking with us?
>Does he know if any of the ships might still be functioning for the purpose of turning on their automated defense systems for the purpose of killing, delaying, and distracting the foul xenon? If he doesn't then does he (and maybe if we ask out captain later) know where to look? I'm hoping there might be turrets and servitors we could reactivate.
>Later we should talk to a few of our tech-priests to keep any eye out for anything interesting and tell us what technological things we should keep an eye out for in case it would be of any aid or worth.
>How comfortable would some of our native men be with switching to laser and Plasma? I dont know if we've already trained them for that already or not.

>>4198623

But not by us

>>4198691
You think we might be able to get something out of his planet? Besides his Frigate?

>>4198588
>B. I agree with the plan, I will make preparations with my men to seize the artifact

>>4198735
Most likely very little, but thats beside the point, exterminatus will not carry out by first because it would be very stupid at this point. for two reasons not necessary yet and its very dangerous to one who does and we are not in anyway in the position to do that call and second i dont think we have any PKs.

>>4198623
Your uncle has little to no information on the space hulk, aside from a legend about the heart of St. Galatin.

His stormtroopers are a specially trained elite unit, who perform this specific role on a regular basis.

He may be able to equip our men with some extra/improved gear but I wouldn't expect much

He recommends we use close combat weapons, such as shotguns and flamers, along with chainswords and powerweapons against the beasts. Also to set up chokepoints within the hulk, manned by heavy weapons crews.

He thinks its unlikely that we will be able to reactivate and take control of any automated defense systems in the hulk, as they have been warped by centuries or millenia in warp space, in addition to normal wear and tear.

He is not aware of any other artifacts, but says that there are often times ancient gear and technology that can be taken/salvaged

Our native troops are acquainted and are armed and trained with lasguns for the most part. The geno troops are mostly armed with lasguns/laspistols and chainswords and reinforced carapace armor while the regular troops wear karelian carapace or regular flak armor, and are armed with lasguns, combat knifes and grenades

>>4198691
>>4198735
>>4198750
We do not have the authority to conduct an exterminatus on a established Imperial World, the Inquisition or higher authorities would have to make that call

>>4198623
>>4198740
You brief your troops on the plan, based on scans of the hulk, your team believes they have identified the Vault of Plenty, a merchant freighter that went missing a millenia ago on the outside of the hulk, based on your understanding of the designs of the old freighter, you plan to have three separate shuttles cut holes in the hull and enter in an old cargo bay, which hopefully will be relatively open, and make for a good staging area for our operations on the ship...

A detachment of your uncles elite stormtroopers will initally lead the landing, followed up by your troops and finally your uncle and yourself....

>>4198993
>He recommends we use close combat weapons, such as shotguns and flamers, along with chainswords and powerweapons against the beasts.
No we have any?
Alright everyone keep an eye out for dead Astartes or something. They might have power weapons on them.

With any luck the merchant freighter might have sealed crates with weapons or something in it's old cargo bay, but one can hope.

>>4198993
The intitial breaching goes well, with no resistance encountered, and what apppears to thousands of opened crates of freeze-sealed rations, which have been consumed, their wrappers scattered everywhere, all over the cargo hold area. The first wave quickly secures the surrounding corridors and uses old crates to build barricades, establishing strong points along the only access points to the area, as the rest of your forces land on the ship. The entire landing process takes several hours as the entire force is shuttled onto the hulk, all counting almost 2000 troops, with the shuttles making frequent supply runs, bringing ammo, medicine and food for the assault force....

Well equipped with auspex scanners by your uncle, small teams of stormtroopers fan out to scout out the hulk, generating maps as they go, and maintaining constant contact with the main force.

The hulk becomes more twisted and distorted the further into it the teams venture, with several damaged doors and entry ways having to be cut through with plasma torches or small breaching charges....

The first major find, is what appears to be cargo hold filled with a delivery for the Imperial Guard Containing 100 Leman Russ tanks, including several rare variants, along with their fuel and ammunition, crates of lasguns, with power packs, a few crates of flak armor and helmets, and finally several heavy lockboxes, containing power-swords, at least 40 or 50.

However it will take time to get most of that off the hulk, and you don't see any way to get the leman russ tanks off, as the shuttles are designed for a light cargo work and passenger work....

>>4199027
The next ship found in the hulk looks to be some sort of heavy cruiser from the early Imperium....

With the lower decks of the old ship too twisted to enter, teams explore the top decks and the bridge, having to use breaching explosives on the heavy blast doors to the main bridge area....

There a dozen corpses on the bridge mummified and dried out by the stale sealed air of the armored bridge section....

Based on the drawn pistols, and the positions of the corpses, they were likely trapped on the bridge for some reason and took their own lives, with the Captain still holding an intricately designed plasma pistol in his hand, with most of his head now missing, it appears his crew followed suit.

Now what we can immediately do is crack open the lock boxes and put those power swords to use. One for us, some for our Boar boys, and some for the Geno-warriors. For those of ours that dont have Laguns, well they can replace their flak guns with them now. Everyone gets spare power packs because we will be pulling the trigger to our flashlights faster than a kid playing Time Crisis in an arcade. I dont know much about the paper armor, but would it be at all possible to punch a hole in this area later and just have a some people do some void jumping and hook these tanks out of here via space craft?

B. Have everything brought back to be catalogued and tracked and distrbuted as we see fit in the future

And take that plasma pistol with us. Weapon you dont know how to use is more dangerous to user that anybody else.

>>4199053
Its all fun and games until somebody finds Vortex grenade

>>4199064
Now that's something we'll have to stow away. Things could get very messy in a small corridor.
So why not use the extra las guns and power swords?

>>4199073
Anything they know how to use effectively and familiar with should but everything else back to ship as this hostile territory.

>>4199079
Agreed. So a bit of A and B?

>>4199083
yes

>>4199042
>A. Immediately have your men equip any useful weapons found upon the hulk

>>4199042
We should promise reward to anybody founds and brings back something valuable

You have the men equip anything useful that can be used immediately, with anything of value, and rare/dangerous weapons, like the plasma pistol brought back for storage....

The teams exploring the hulk are able to continue scouting relatively unabated, facing no resistance and no encounters with the xenos living aboard....

One of the teams makes another interesting find, a ship, looking to be Imperial designed but very old has been found, with several decks accessible.

The old ship carries this badge over some of the bulkheads and doors....

After breaching their way in, they have found two stasis shielded, heavily armored vaults in the old ship, that look to be undisturbed by time itself....

A. Have the men attempt to open the vaults
B. Leave them be
C. Other(Write-in)

>A. Have the men attempt to open the vaults

>>4202450
A. Have the men attempt to open the vaults

>>4202450

>A.

>>4202557

>>4202450
>A. Have the men attempt to open the vaults

>>4202569
