Imperial Reformer, a warhammer system governor quest

Greenland system 353.M36

Life has been good for Christopher Eriksson ever since he found the passage to the Thor sector and today he will set the next step forward as he leads the 13th colonization fleet towards the Greenland the feral world in the system of the same name. It has been three hundred years since the explosion of the main plasma reactor in the capital caused the collapse of civilization and now he is going to restore it. He picks a spot near a bay on the northern continent as the location of the new capital Nuuk and from there he is bringing the world back to imperial control

Elysia 353.M36

Emma Jackson has announced the creation of the general staff for her colonly and has offered promotions for all that join. This result in a large amount of volunteers and she quickly fills all positions of the staff. Emma adds the best of them to her personal staff and there are enough officers willing to join your military to expand the staff with another department. The only issue is that many officers need time to adjust to their new roles but with some training this can be fixed.

Angela Miller was hired to help run the colonial economy and she has a large number of contacts with the merchants and is a skilled at finding goods for the best deal possible. After looking over the current plans for the colony she suggest investing into a transport ship and a orbital station to move colonist and gear there.
[Emma Jackson gains +1 Stewardship]
[Angela Miller character sheet has been added]

Sophia Jackson spend the year in the monasteries and churches of Elysia where she met with a large number of members of the Imperial church to talk about setting it up in our colony. She talks to groups from cardinals, the adepta sororitas to dedicated chaos hunters. The day she arrives at the monastery of the adepta sororitas there is a meeting there about how to deploy their forces to the Thor sector and her presence is seen as a sign of the emperor and they decide to create a small monastery there.
[Gain a small force of witch hunters and single squad of sisters of battle]

The abbey of Vedant is one of the most beautiful ones Sophia has seen not for its elaborate decorations but it uses very few decorations to create a sense of awe.It is in one of the far north of Elysium where is snows for half the year and being placed there is used as a way to get rid of priest that fall out of favor. The current abbot was send there for his belief in a simpler church that spends more on charity and less on its churches and religious feasts. This has made him unpopular with senior priest who see his preaching as a threat to their luxurious lives. Sophia spends the next month at the abbey listing to the abbots sermons their choir and meditating in the abbey bringing her closer to the emperor.
[Sophia Jackson gains 2 piety]

She met with several potential leaders for our church some are rich puritian, others are reformers barely avoiding being arrested for heresy looking for a place where they can implement their reforms. In the weeks that follow she reduces the list of candidates to two.
[the high roll removed all heretics from this list.]

[church] Bishop Peter Armstrong
Is one of the moderate members of the local church who lost last years election for the leadership of the church on Elysia and wants to get away from his successful rival. He prom misses financial support in setting up the colony but will set up a traditional church.
[+10 Budget]

[church] Abbot John Patton
The priesthood of Beacon of Hope are among those that oppose this movement and relations with them will suffer if he is appointed.
[Cheaper to expand the church and increased support for reforms]

When the first report of the scouts arrive they bring reports of chaos cults on two of the feral worlds, Robarts Hope and New Dallas, the scouts report little of use on New Dallas and the chaos cults there will be destroyed by naval bombardments. On Robarts Hope there is a forge of the adeptus mechanicus and a landing is ordered to retake while the rest of the world will be bombed to eliminate any possible reinforcements for the chaos cult holding the forge.

Angela Miller has bought a warp capable transport ship, the "Union of Utrecht" after it was confiscated from its former owner for smuggling Xenos artifacts. It is even larger then the ship Angela was first thinking of buying and can carry 50% more cargo then expected. It was sold by a Inquisitor of the Order Xenos that was looking for information about the Xenos in the northern parts Thor sector and you suspect that the crew includes several of his agents providing the inquisition information about the Thor sector.
[Angela Miller Buy transport: 87: 50% larger ship for the same price]

When Emma visited the headquarters of the Adeptus Mechanicus to talk about the attack on Robarts Hope to plan the attack the announcement that she was providing a transport and two militia regiments for the attack resulted in a change of plans no longer would the rest of the settlement around the forge bombed but instead the new plan called for the conquest to allow the forge to resume production sooner. The additions shipping provided by the Union of Utrecht allowed the Adeptus Mechanicus to add an additional regiment to the attack force as well. They also provided additional gear for the militia regiments most significantly 5 lascannon for the first militia regiment.

Robarts Hope 100.354.M36

The invasion of Robarts Hope starts with the landing of both militia regiments and the Mordian Seventeenth regiment on a hill three kilometers west of the forge hoping to provoke a attack by the forces holding the forge. This worked better then expected as within a minute of the landing the chaos cultist where on the move and it became a race to deploy all of our forces before they arrived. "Blood for the Blood God!" could be heard soon afterwards as the cultist closed to our lines and then the heavy bolters and lascannon started firing on the cultist.

Despite their losses the cultist keep attacking with the third armed with rifles dropping into cover as soon as they got close enough to fire on our troops and the rest charging us armed with axes, spears and clubs. Among those groups there where some that where mutated to the point that they are barely human anymore capable of advancing even after being hit more then once. This was the moment that the 15th Elysian Drop Troops Regiment joined the fight landing its troops between the cultists and the forge and attacking them in the rear supported by their gunships.

At the same time as the Elysian entering the fight the Adeptus Mechanicus tech regiment landed at the forge capturing it intact from the few defenders that where still there. Leaving behind a third of their regiment to hold the forge they moved to join the battle. Despite being outnumbered and the amount of firepower raining down on the cultist some reached the Mordian regiment where they caused heavy losses in the resulting melee until a group of vultures gunships killed most of them and the remainder where killed by the sisters of battle.
[Emma Jackson: Join the battle Total: 90+10]
[Both militia regiments are now trained, 1st militia regiment has 5 lascannon]

After the battle there is a meeting between the leaders of the attack where you are introduced to the commander of the Elysian drop regiment General Li Xin one of the generals that was named as governor in the Thor sector in reward for his service to the imperium. The regiment is going with him to form the nobility for his colony and their gear will arm the local PDF regiments. He is planning on a colony close to the orc held worlds in the west of the sector as he swore revenge against the orcs after they killed both of his sons four years ago.

You are both are promised small forges for your colonies with workers and tech priests to run them that focus on lasguns production. Robarts Hope will be a outpost with the largest forge in the sector and will grow in time to a full forgeworld when the sector grows enough for there to be demand for its output and enough security to protect its secrets. They also provide several additional priest to help maintain the Union of Utrecht reducing the cost to maintain it.

Sophia spend the year funding several charity projects that included meals for the poor, grants for schooling and she funds a new church for Abbot John Patton.

Sophia Jackson gave more money to charity allowing the colonists to keep attending school and sets up several long term funds to keep them going for decades to come. This has lead to the creation of a class of educated farmers and workers that serves as source of recruits for the colonial administration. This will make maintaining the quality of the staff easier then expected and provides the basis for the schooling system for our colony.

The military command was tasked with buying a orbital station they did so at the same time as the Elysian navy ordering several stations for the outer system. Ordering one of these stations was a bit cheaper then ordering a one of station and the funds freed up where used for a fury interceptor that will be based at the station. The station itself will make trade easier with several cargo shuttles to move goods to and from orbit, a small warehouse to hold trade goods speeding up trade as goods can be launched there in the weeks it takes a ship to reach the colony from where they enter the system.
[Military Buy a orbital station: 92: added fury squadron, +1 martial, +1 Stewardship]

Emma Jackson made a enemy of the forge master in charge of the main shipyard of Elysia when she had the wreckage towed there and asked for it to be repaired as most saw it as a collection of scrap not as a something that could be repaired. They do the absolute minimum needed to repair the ship using damaged parts and leaving out anything that is optional but it is a working ship and the remaining repairs can be done by the tech priest of your colony.
[Emma Repair corvette: 40+5: working ship with -15 to rolls until repaired and all optional parts have been added]

You managed to set up a meeting between the future governors of the Thor sector to coordinate your plans for the coming expedition. Christopher Eriksson has brought a map containing the result of his years of scouting and the generals add the known military forces to the map you have a small forge, a cargo ship and a frigate allowing you to supply the others. They talk about the southern sub sector first where Eriksson has already settled Greenland, a area with the majority of the feudal and feral worlds of the sector lay but many have priests from the Bastion of Faith on them with plans to send missionaries the rest soon. The priests are redirecting most of the sub sectors wealth into the priesthood and all agree that no new colonies should be created there at this time.

To the east lays Robarts Hope in a sub sector where the warp is more turbulent then normal and many worlds have been heavely damaged by the orbital bombarbens that ended the revolts in the subsector. General Nadeem Cain is colonizing the closest world to Robarts Hope to support and protect the forge there. There is one more system being considered for colonization at this time in the eastern subsector, the world of New Scotland it is the last place held by loyalist there but centuries of wars and invasions have reduced it to less then 100.000 settlers, mostly farmers and artisans supplying those farmers.

In the west there are several ruins on worlds overrun by orcs that are of interest to the imperium and a base for the fleet has been created called fleetbase western Thor. It consist of a fuel refinery for the fleet with large warehouses attached containing the supplies for the fleet. It was build there to take advantage to the fact that the system has a habitual world and a gas giant where fuel can be produced while being close to the orc held world. The world has not yet been settled but the navy has requested that it will be settled soon to reduce the cost to supply the fleet. The fleet keeps several sword class frigates as a permanent guard and the rest of the fleet makes regular visits to resupply there making it the safest system in the sector but the fleet expects the local colony to support them.

In the central subsector lays a world called the junction where the warp is calmer then normal and many of the potential shipping routes in the sector pass trough. This part of the sector holds a lot of Death worlds and some show signs of ancient battles and the junction is the only world inhabitable by humans there and a settlement there will be a center of trade for the sector.

The final subsector talked about during the meeting was in the north of the sector where the second civilized world of the sector lays, Eagles Nest. Eagles nest was settled during the dark age of technology by a group send to terraform the world before the main group of settlers would arrive but warp storms resulted in those settlers never arriving. The resulting lack of teachers caused the world to fall faster then most but the original setters realized this and they created a library with books that are stamped into metal plates designed to last forever.

They where later joined by the groups send to colonize two other worlds in that sector when a passing naval ship helped them relocate there and one of these worlds has become on of the best terraformed worlds in the sector. Farming will be easier there and the planet beautiful nature will attract colonists there. It is also on the edge of the space explored by the imperium and Christopher Eriksson has been ordered to explore there but he will need several years to get things in order at Greenland first before he can start.
