One of the better neighbors we have had all things considered. They haven't tried to murder us yet.
So what is Harlequins opinion on xenophilic human succesor state with calm warp over it?

Just a reminder, the Harlequins may hate Chaos, but they're all for kicking humans in the balls for the lolz too. Remember the whole kerfuffle with the Dark Space Elfs stealing the Panacea STC for shits and giggles? That was entirely enabled by the Harlequins, who facilitated her scheme and her campaign from the ground up.
They may be enemies of Chaos, but they're still Space Elfs, they care for humans only in so far as they're useful to them, and no further.

FUCK I forgot to include my work last night for the Psykana discussion. ahhhhh dang it, well we got Lamenters helping out on the frontline now so lets see how this goes.
Hahaha, the Angels descend and yah given we only heard of the Late Game Threat of the Dutchy mentioning another Space Marine chapter moving through their territory around 500 to 600 years ago now? The lamenters are the only other ones in the Sector or neighboring sector, so the Space marines are just legends or stories and now the stories are real and are coming to help/save them. Not only that but an Entire Chapter deployed in full, Most would consider seeing a lone or a squad as a blessing, a Company as a great sight and morale boosting but an Entire Chapter? After seemingly forever of being abandoned by the Imperium and maybe only ever seeing them in picts if they did exist.... this might just-
I don't know if the starchild is guiding/boosting them but damn they performed well. Ouch Flechettes launched too. Oh shit the Psyker of the Lord of Eternity used the ground as a malleable claylike thing to just absorb or snatch the flechettes launched. or it was more a clay-like golem thing, also their pyskers are called Battle Ritualists, or just the combat ones.
Oh, well that makes sense and neat little touch they have the Melodies and insight into it to make use of it.Like normal Librarians, but with a bent due to the wealth of the Federation's Psykana to draw upon. And ye.
Ah so they lost the cities or had to fall back with warcrimes done to the population and went into a World War One vibe with the trenches and artillery duels.... along with the Valans having pre-fab forts and bunks made or dropped, that's always a good advantage to have and I see how this was stalemated and hard to take back some land.

YUP, THAT. Morale boost to the extreme and making everyone give it their all and then some, near fanatic charge as victory is almost ensured and focusing on breaking the enemy, along with sudden tunnel vision purpose on knocking out the guns to support the Space Marines. Props to the Lord Commander holding the Banner and being the first to lead the charge. Its just an awesome sight, QM you captured the feeling of that along with some grounding in the smells and sounds blurring together as Merf was brought back to reality.

Now the trench fighting and melee with short range firefights but oh boy that charge took a lot out of some of them. Its a good showing of the motivation and in the moment type of things a baseline human can accomplish. Like normally this would be good they reached the trenches and would be fighting to take over that section and breach the lines. of course-
Don't need to do that, just distract the Anti-air or take them out. They bought time and attention to let the Lamenters land and holy shit things really do move fast with Space Marines, the old line of 'nothing that big should move that fast' come to mind. then again with over 2000 Lamenters dropping there should be enough to repeat this all over the line and with enough training to make this easy for them. Hah, a single Lamenter and three dozen Valan dead in that short a time.
they all kneel in the face of the storied Angels and seeing what he can do, and damn they aren't stopping, Lamenters are going to roll up the frontlines and keep on biltzing through so the forces here need mechanized to keep up with them. And it really shows how the Space Marines are/can be in battle and how quickly they can turn things around. Years stalemated there and in four minutes it is broken.
Ohhhh, well we already did the Lamenters so I'd like to see the Choir fight and see how it goes from there... though the damn Eldar in this sub-sector should be looked at considering they were keeping this balance of power up for a long time with proxies and propped up forces. And we intervened here messing up that balance.
oh boy, yah that sounds about right for them and I hope we don't have to deal with them but we might have too... question is how they fuck do we try to prepare for them.
Whelp in that case we better prepare then, we are only one away from Grand Cruiser. So maybe do that and build some more SBG's and then the turn after that make a Grand Cruiser. We don't know what exactly the Eldar are up to in the Sub-sector or how strong they are so its hard to plan around it.

Cooky what information is available about the orbital habitat on Jak-hal?
I'm more worried we'll be blindsided by the Eldar then anything else. I feel like we have a pretty good grasp of what everybody around us wants - most of the reasonable people want safety and a higher quality of life, or to be left alone (Mashan) which we can provide. Van Zandt wants to be a good little imperial successor state, and the ravagers want to ravage. We know how to interact with all of those groups.
But the Eldar are goddamn wild cards. They might decide that they liked the stalemate in the sector and don't want us pushing on them and decide to sabotage us. Maybe we can ask our friendly neighborhood Lone Wave to tell them to chill out. We're not the empire.
I wonder if we can do diplomacy with the Eldar other than just "yeah we'll leave you alone."

Not sure how we can. Lone Wave is liable to shoot anything that jumps into the system, so our best bet is to have a Chamleon jump into the system, drop off a probe with all the information, then get the hell out as fast as possible.

Do they have people in End of the Line we can pass messages through? I assume they wouldn't be very talkative but they presumably would want to keep eyes on the webway gate so we don't touch anything. And when you're cohabiting a system you've got to talk at least a little to avoid crashes if nothing else.

I'll be for it, though I also would like to spend an action fortifying Phantom in case the Duchy try something and to further dissuade them from attack
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the Psyker Lords that are doing so.

It's an ancient orbital habitat from before the Imperium that got looted to the ground by the Admech before getting settled. It is home to around ~48 Billion people.
Can confirm. One buff for speed by the Lord Commander, then one "rip moisture out of ground to stop bullets" ritual by the Ritualists.
part of the DMZ. no Fleets or defense stations there my dude.
Oh shit, alright then, damn I want to know about the LoE's pysker set up and use. So the Lord Commander buffed the speed and then others did the stop bullet for the charge to make it across.
1. QM given how we add a new addition to the
No, the ban is only on Warp-Capable Warships. Nothing about SDF Monitors or Space Stations. We even have 2 SBGs worth of stations over Phantom right now.
alright my bad then. I could have sworn there wasn't but I didn't look at the system maps before for Breskal to see that.

I'd almost prefer not to give the Eldar more of a stage. Drama queens, the lot of them. Maybe if we ignore them they'll go away and pose for somebody else.
Huh. Idea for a diplomatic action: "Hey Aeldari, is there anything you want us to take care of? We'll do it for a favor." I'm sure we can think of some nice favors from the Eldar - anything from a farseer prophecy to some tech to trading rights. And I'm sure there's a bunch of places they'd love to have a war fleet/bunch of knights soaking casualties for them. And all of them are probably against enemies we'd be happy to fight anyway.
1. One action of LRADs probably counts for more against the duchy than the same AP worth of battlestation would given their specialization.
2. They're mobile and generally useful in other theaters. As we can see from what's going on with the Lords of Eternity, we're always going to need to project power, and having a solid core of long-ranged ships will really boost up our more conventional SBGs.
3. I think we might actually get away without a war against the Duchy, at least anytime soon. We've avoided offering any provocations and kept half of our diplomats pointed at them, and they genuinely seem to be calming down. Eventually they'll probably squash their other enemies and come after us, but it might be another 30ish turns from now, and I'd prefer to spend the actions building military then instead of now, especially because those actions could be used to get new tech/trairs, as well as integrate nations that'll boost our production capacity. In just a few turns we can switch to the Crusader Doctrine and put Carronades on all of our Andromedas.
4. The LRADs are also good against the Eldar if they decide to stir up shit. I hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does then a face full of lances is a good discouragement them trying to pull shit.

I'd prefer another two LRADs instead for several reasons.
