YES! we can sell chocolate like its drugs and that's what most Hivers and the Nobles will think it is. A very powerful drug that brings you happiness and bliss, this 'Chocolate' must be stopped. LOLIn order;
"Hey. Want to taste pure happiness? Yeah you do. Here. First bite's free. After that, it'll cost ya..."

Oh joy we can make Aid ships now, that slots the roles well and while it is a massive ask for how the current number needed right now, that is a big thing that we can put those ships on a planet to help and negate the Development loss when incorporating a new planet or just to stop a crisis. I think it'd be worth a ship design and production but only a single fleet's worth right now. Could this be done to help settle Hostile or Death worlds at all without losing the Development levels?It suffers from a distinct case of "No Purpose-Made Civilian Available" as it is. Once I am back home, I'm gonna add some that can be used for specialist aid ships like the Cassiopeia. But in its current form around 10~15 would be able to massively help a planet suffering a crisis like famine or plague, if not outright stop it in its tracks, or reduce a loss of Dev Levels when incorporating new planets.
.... I want to say that's just a meme and it wouldn't be the case.... but I can see that being a legit way of being found out when we hit a certain size. All of that.... normalness just doesn't happen in the Hives. Its suppose to have a lot of people dying o diseases and loads of bodies just waiting to be processed into Corpse Starch, there is suppose to damage from gangs, at least to non-critical parts and reports of destruction. There is suppose to be report of Psykers going mad and destroying things at least sometimes. To have a break in between is a relief but to have silence or a prolonged period of it is worrying. Because there implies something else at work there and non of it good (from their view) and then investigate us because of it.It could be darkly amusing if the Imperials notice our subversion by the resounding lack of incoherent screaming in human suffering. An Administratum clerk notices a distinct lack of expected disease fatalities and Corpse-starch material harvesting from Underhive Segment 171. The AdMech foundation-maintenance team realize there's a worrying lack of battle-damage repair work being done and some lay-person has to explain that's because the gangs aren't fighting there. Eventually the Arbites get very, very concerned that there's a black hole in their map of rampaging psykers and become convinced there's a cult.
Thinking about the current situation though would Imperial Psykers be a reasonable class of people to try to subvert? They're watched closely but they get treated quite badly. Psyker-Lord Shem Al-Abdazzah probably has all the bribes he could ask for his service but getting the people tasked with finding the local psykers to cook the books to cover for our gang might be an option. The Star Child has a lot to offer a psyker compared to an Imperial Noble or Officer.
Oh shit, voice commands! we can give them voice commands and they can actually follow them without messing it. Even paid attention to the wording of it. Nice, I can see why this will boost the economy a lot. You don't need to be guiding or instructing them every step of the way with this."Please pick up that pen and put it in its place," Kharom spoke to the Servitor, waiting as its mindless eyes stared at him for two seconds.
After those two seconds, the Servitor turned to look at the pen in their hands and took the small blue thing.
Once in their hands, the bioconstruct stared at the pen, and one could nearly hear an audible whirring, but that was only within the heads of the assembled watchers, before the Servitor moved again, turning around and marching to the boxes clearly labeled "Blue Pen" and "Pen - Blue" at arms-height.
A moment passed as the Servitor looked left, then right, before staring up...and lifted the pen into a third box, high above, labeled "Its Place."
The assembled crowd went wild.
Wait, Militarize the Servo-Skulls? didn't expect that at all. I guess having them be like Drones with scouting, targeting, and harassing?-[] Servo-Skull Militarization Initiative
(Gain: Attempt to militarize Servo-Skulls.)
Yup, like was stated a lot of times before, Gate that unlocks the automatization tree and allows for more. we can start increasing passive production of the destroyers now. At the very least we can have the scouts refill again.-[] Shipyard Automatization II (0/2)
(Gain: 2 Destroyers every Turn.)
Huh, that went down by two. Was that due to the Servitor upgrade or the automatization? Also thinking on this more, its almost guaranteed that we will be given an option as to WHAT the STC fragment holds and given some options. Might be worth it to start this after we solve the Dutchy problem.-[] Reconstruct The Shattered STC-Fragment (0/10)
(Gain: An STC Fragment.)
Holy Shit things exploded from the Choirs going there. So because they saw our Psykers and though there was a cabal of organized ones they went balls deep killing everything? or just clearing it all out? that was 180 million just in the Capital Underhive,Billion being displaced... that sounds like easy recruitment! Ouch though, one billion because of that.Full-on War against the Underhive of the Capital, around ~180 million dead, several billions displaced, total casualties likely to exceed one billion at the end of the "Heretical Psyker Purge." Complete hysteria in the middle/upper Hives on the planet with Witch Hunts, sanctioned and not, burning and killing suspected Psykers, Witches, Heretics, Undesirables, Mutants, and other targets of opportunity. Total casualties likely to land in the double-millions.
You escaped with around 92% of your forces and people intact by fucking off into the deeper parts or out of the Underhive altogether.
Oh? they're building Defense Stations on their own? is that because they're on the frontline and bordering a hostile power? and how far are do those stations go? also what kind of defenses will this write in give? never got any feedback from anyone else.They are shaping up well. Focus mostly on the new Kopesh for Destroyers at the moment, while also putting in the work for some Defensive Stations
Also, why are our Lamenters dying so much? Are there any other reasons besides the outdated boarding craft they use?
Well their terrible Luck is a big reason for that, remember when they got shot while boarding the Chaos Flagship during the battle over the Arsenal world and we nearly lost our Dreadnought Chapter Master. A lot of them died from that, then more during the 621 campaign, then again fighting the Teleporting 100 meter large false hydras on the Grace of Hymns, which they suffered horrendous casualties from again. Its both terrible luck and they will throw themselves in danger to defend the people no matter what.And they're dying so much because the Lamenters have memetically terrible luck, the fact they have a secure and potent allied faction who they can withdraw to and recoup their losses from is enough to survive though.
Well shit, that's impressive. Tough nut to crack and loving the Name it is fitting for the Chapter. Damn, a lot of Plasma Macro Cannons with Hangars and a lot of boarding stuff. I think we should use the research next time for boarding craft upgrade since I think that will help a lot with the Lamenters given their thing and one of their attacks is boarding.Eternal Promise-Class Temple Ship

Huh, so they went Torpedo spam and swarm tactics. I mean it is a good one but damn, so knowing Imperium tactics, its going to have a bunch of them dying but with Torpedos already under way and more firing still. Something to keep in mind.The fleet of the Free Dutchy seems to have prioritized a lot of Destroyers and Frigates, with only a few Light Cruiser. A lot, and I mean a lot, of Cobras are in there, alongside some other mainstay staples of an Imperial fleet, but...there are some designs you don't know, but they look nimble. They seem Doctrinally to be focused on chucking a lot of torpedos at their foes though?
Oh shit, well we didn't go over there since it was moving through another faction's territory but could we send expeditions to independent worlds? Still this looks like it needs the Glimmering Federation's help. Biosphere collapse, can we help them at all or has it past that point?Where Our Homes Used To Be - Life upon Where Iron Screams, Where Gods Die, and Where Dreams Bloom is not easy. The deserts claim more and more with every year, and soon, nothing will be left of their people. Bees are already extinct, and candles slowly vanish. Faith will quickly follow. Yet, the roads are still free, their vehicles still run, and the portals that connect their planets are still open. Time to make themselves a new home.

Ohhh, that gives some more information on the Hegemony and how some things are going. So the rebel groups are looking in the long term and how they plan to break the machine over time with enough gunk and junk tossed into the grinds. I don't think it will happen anytime soon but the Hegemony is working its way to civil war in the future.One Must Imagine A Cog Happy- For a cog knows its place. Knows its purpose. Knows that it has a duty that shall be fulfilled and when it will no longer have to do said duty. But they are not a cog. Not anymore. They are something else. They. Are. Sand. A bit thrown into a machine that grinds people into fuel and goods does nothing...but throw some more? Again? And again? The gears slow. The cogs break. The machinery slows...and it must be halted to perform maintenance. But it shall not start again. Not if they have any say in it.
(Focus: A rebel cell within the Croaf Hegemony prepares their next strike in a seemingly endless war. There is nothing but cold fury and old hatred to be found.)
Ohhh, so the government barely functions and there have been anti-government riots since the focus is on making money above all. and this is just one of many, still they might be worth keeping on eye on.BURN THEIR HOMES! BAR THE BANKS! STRIKE NOW! - The Ashan Families are made up of those who want one thing, and one thing only: money. Though power is part of that, everyone, from the lowest union member to the highest mafia boss, desires one thing: to make it rich. Everything bends in that direction, and though barely a functioning state, thanks to that, the Families hold together when it comes to those willing to burn it all down. Many have tried, and many will follow.
(Focus: An anti-government riot is brutally put down by the enforcers of the Ashan Families.)
I'm always a sucker for these kind of things. that war that spanned centuries and defined generations and now the Veteran of that said is recalling how different things are know for the grandkids and how they don't have to go through what did and how different they act and live now.A Legacy Of War - Their fight was long. It was bloody. It took much, demanded more, and destroyed all. Hands were fed to its slavering maw, bodies broken upon the anvil of war, souls sacrificed with every day, and the howling of those left behind by the honored dead grew silent with each one taken to the front. And yet, the war is long over. The scars are there...but the wounds have healed. The children grow strong, no longer slaving to create guns but chafing as they are forced to learn to read and write. It is an odd thing for one who has witnessed it all...yet they find it a good oddity.
(Focus: A veteran of the 621 United Cults War dies. They recall the changes, good and bad, as their soul slips away into oblivion.)
That...... Okay, the Choir that is stationed topside in the wastes detected either the reinforcements of ships here to help with the purge on the hives or being built and being stationed there for two decades has let them notice the changes. Either way based on how the ships are not corrupted, at least not yet, but sing of journeys into the warp to join dance and of combat between daggers and metal skin... that can mean a lot of things and maybe the Machine Spirits starting to become bloodthristy or something similar to the AI before rebelling?Choir of the Wastes calling home.
The unknown ships of the Free Duchy are...weird. They sing of combat between daggers and metal skin. Of journeys into the Warp to join dances. There is no Corruption, yet...their machine-spirits rejoice at the thought of cutting.
We advice extreme caution if they are to be engaged.
Being merciful toward your enemies was being cruel to yourself. Most enemies wouldn't reciprocate your kindness; given the chance, they'd kill you without hesitation. Mercy was a luxury only the strong could afford.Kings Kneel, Knights Kill - Honor! Duty! Glory! Words to live by, words to die by! By Strength; Mercy!

Her mother and mother-mothers bore witness to the fall of their House, but she shall ensure that their ghosts shall witness their rise once more because she shall win by any means. Mercy is for the weak, for only the strong can give it. And she is not yet strong...

If we do the autoloader research, I assume that means we're planning on redesigning the Scorpio's & Crux's?
Its because you said that the system is a military focused one. So they focus on militaty stuff.Oh? they're building Defense Stations on their own? is that because they're on the frontline and bordering a hostile power? and how far are do those stations go? also what kind of defenses will this write in give? never got any feedback from anyone else.
You can, and you'd need to look at the planets to have a clue if you can.Weaving_Dreamer said:Oh shit, well we didn't go over there since it was moving through another faction's territory but could we send expeditions to independent worlds?
