I mean, knowing the Imperium's notable paranoia, we likely have a dozen failsafes if that happens. Considering our fortress will be built with psykery in mind…
Because gas Giants are cool as fuck. Simple as.
This is all flavour really. Gas Giants are just awesome in my mind, there's no solid ground, they're absolutely massive, and the views must be crazy.

Okay... alternative solution:Because gas Giants are cool as fuck. Simple as.
Our world is a big-ass moon orbiting a gas giant. We set up a few facilities over the gas giant itself to conduct part of the training while keeping most of it on our moon-fort. Best of both worlds?

I mean, does it really matter?
I feel it does, at least to the extent that compared to the sector vote, the planet vote is going to directly impact our school a lot more in terms of available resources, direct population access, potential advantages and threats, location near allies and rivals, and so on.
So this is a case where fluff has impact and distinction can make big differences.

Yeah, fair points, but flavour should be just as important, if not more. This is a story first, after all. If I had my way, our fortress would be in the upper atmosphere because we'd be able to breathe outside, instead of getting sucked out into the cold void of space. Besides, It's a more original aesthetic.

Never denied that, but being on a gas giant, for example, will likely bring us unique opportunities and problems in spades, and I'm here for that. Mayto isn't likely to screw us over for an original idea or thought. He's proven himself to be a great QM all around, and I feel comfortable not taking 'optimal' or 'usual' choices. Once we get to the actual Planet creation phase, We'll see what we can do. At this point, it's too early to tell how things will go.

So... thoughts on the earthlike moon orbiting a gas giant idea?

Eh… I think I'll stick to my idea. Not a bad one by any means however. I like living on the edge. Literally.

I am all for an habitable exomoon, perhaps the locals building an economy of deturium and tritium gas extraction from their local gas giant ever since the misty distant past of the DaOT. Perhaps there is even a squat enclave alongside a mechianus outpost in the system on other exomoons.
Intact I have two ideas to propose. @Mayto Could literally starting in the same system as the inactive warp gate be a starting option? Could make for one of the more expensive potential options.
Snowball Exomoons, Oceanic Exomoons , Terrestial Exomoon and Dry Exomoons are all interesting variations of the exomoon idea.

And now you've reminded me of TTS felinids. Congratulations, you're getting the upgraded treatement. INQUISITOR! Yes, it's him! That's the Xenos-lover! Take him away!

Eh, I trust that our Fortress would be able to handle it. After all, in Paradox's fluff there would also be several other cities that likely have been active for millennia without failing.I have seen the bit in babylon five when the shadow vessel gets crunched by Jupiter's gravity and all too easily can imagine our fortress looking like a compressed can of tomato sauce @_@
and as funny as that test is, odds are we aren't going to get only telekinetics
Nah, Pandora is a death world that's mainly arid badlands and inhabited by a lot of killer fauna (and some flora), bandit clans, and several ancient Xenos vaultsMoon called Pandora with blue humanoid xenos on it? We will call them....the Tau

Turns out there are like five dozen different Pandora across the Imperium.
A reminder that our principal source of non-low-grade psykers will come from the planetary populace. Sticking ourselves on a gas giant will greatly curtail that. Besides, schlepping precious gasses on a station that may suffer a long drop at any given moment is for penal workers, not psykers.
Also there would be no continents to blow up with our triple nuke surprise

@Mayto With the unstable warp currents is that in any way going to impact how our Psyker tithes are recieved? for example, according to Psyker Recruitment and Training we get value according to the psykers delivered, does that mean psykers that arrive to their destination or psykers that leave our Schola.

Generally, I find the opposite. On this forum alone, good places to start are:
Torroar's quests (Dynasty of Drunken Alcoholism has Ostland tech up and revolutionise its economy, but the Empire's still generally one bad Waaagh from exploding again) (his Blood Ravens Quest has the Imperium's only real W so far be the result of literal Divine Intervention, and the Blood Ravens themselves have had no punches pulled on them)
Mayto's other quests (which do not shy from the darkness of Warhammer)
Durin's Embers in the Dusk (upteching happens, but it happens for everyone, and honestly even when things are going well it could change at any moment)
Rhunrikki Strollar, taking place during the Dawi Golden Age, is much more peaceful and less war focused than other Warhammer quests, but soulcake does not shy from the bad things that can and do still happen
And there are others worth mentioning, which I can't bring up off the top of my head and can't check with my current piss poor mobile data.
