This is such a low stakes vote. How did this happen.
Basically what they can bring to us and the Trust in General. The two winning options each have advantages that is why so many voted. Also probably because it is so low stake and a safe bet anyways that people feel comfortable voting. Because they know it is unlikely to royally screw us in any real way.
 


@Durin

1. For comparison, a Hallucinogen Grenade is 1 step cheaper, a flashbang is just as expensive, a boltgun is 1 step more expensive, and a force staff is 2 steps more expensive. Do we have psychotroke grenades?
2. Have we been able to aerosolise alkahestry poison?
3. Is Tamia capable of permanently enslaving people to her will via telepathy?

I am going to change my vote. the more I think about it the more I am partial to the Knight House being set up on Avernus and an Avernus Pattern Knight if there is such a thing would be pretty awesome.

[X] Marry Baron Sigmund 'The Defiant' of the Aesir- best combat, decent Martial, allows formation of Knight House on Avernus.

Money is boringly practical. Psi knights are a massive force multiplier.
Plus I'd prefer not to have another Freya.

@Durin
Long explanation for this one, sorry.
Explanation) While the Spend Time With action was originally a way of boosting stats it has long been used instead as a way of hearing more about characters we care about. However under the current system, particularly after you asked us to only do one or two people a turn, we often go a century or more between seeing people. I was thinking we could have a less focused action. One that would let us touch base with groups of people rather than individuals. Nothing in-depth like we get with Spend Time With, just a paragraph saying how everyone is getting on and if there is something we might want to follow up on using Spend Time With in following turns.
1) Would you be for or against some kind of 'Keep In Touch With (Group)' action?
2) If for it which of the following examples would you consider acceptable groups:
2a) Xavier family.
2b) Avernus Council.
2c) Prominent Psykers.
2d) Governor's Own officers.
2e) Trust High Council.
2f) Rotbart's Oath-kin.

Ok why we should vote for the Rogue Trader
1 85 billion thrones a turn. Which we will need since we spend resources like someone who has never had to budget in thier life.
2 we can send him on expeditions into the galaxy and he will have a better chance than if we tried to do it without him. Which means we can trade with say th squats for rare resources like enough battle barge metal to make fleets of them. The squats specialize in metal found in heavy gravity worlds and making rare metals. Think dwarfs in space.
3 we will get access to a large merchant marine fleet that he will one day completely inherit.
4 the fleet he will inherit will be a 1000 merchant marines 500 escorts and a handful of capital ships.
5 closer ties with dragon's nest and the ability after the meager to influence their votes.
6 admin action we can take to improve the economy. Which even with the tech boost I think we will need since we always go after the shinny new tech.
7 you will not get the flu for a year unless you deserve it. This part is a joke.

Count me as extremely skeptical that there are:
A. Squats within expedition range.
B. We can conduct resource trade with them safely due to distance.
C. That these expeditions will come up with anything useful given how much tech we got from Avernus, the datacore and tech conference.

If I am wrong (which would be nice because it means there are squats close by) we can just send ships without him easily. Whereas not choosing the Baron makes getting our own psy Knights online a major pain.

Regarding the merchant fleet we can just spend some (not super valuable) naval actions to boost our cargo capacity. Which is already going up overtime as referenced earlier thanks to our merchantman production lines.

Edit: Checking back we can make 9 Mass Conveyors per 5 years with the appropriate action which also gives us more escorts at the same time.
