They are in their sixth sphere of expansion right now. So guess on that.

Generally, using the choir.
On the low end, perception can give us info on the armor's tricks.
That's likely, but she's also the least survivable. Xexes has the shield-gauntlet that can probably block a single hit before needing to recharge, while Violet Skies has the jump-pack for dodging & mobility.
Draft plan, feel free to modify it:
[] Plan: The War Pack Hunts
-[] The primary objective will be for the three pilots to harass and flank Marie-France, prioritizing avoiding blows over getting in decisive strikes. The goal will be to surround her and strike from behind, outside the arc of the Gallant's Ion shield.
-[] Kiri Milize is designated as the primary striker, as her weaponry is excellent for wounding the Knight Gallant and making it more vulnerable for the kill. The others are not to pass up good opportunities, but their initial goal is to distract Marie France and punish any gaps in her defense.
-[] Mobility is king, and not letting anybody get pinned down and picked off is a priority.
Ah right that does tend to happen, the break times with side shows or duels meant for filling up the space during breaktime.
pfffft this little sister is Chunni. or going through her goth/witch phase, could be either one. She is legit trying to dress like how she thinks witches are and trying the creepy/evil advisor trope. I do like the little bit of humor here and just humanizing bit with dealing with this in the Family of the reigning monarch.
She's not wrong though as they wasn't just a friendly gift and it was very quick and suspicious how fast they jumped on board with joining us. No Psykana at work there though, just chocolate and a high SoL with the thing that come with it. Oh and the ability to pump out enough Armigers to as a quick gift.
Oh, that poor innocent sister. She really does mean well but things aren't that simple and she is trying to help in the way she thinks she can. Nice positive sister relationship and funny bit of sweet tooth and lack of nutrition affecting growth. And Catherine speaks truth of how it wears a friendly face and pretends to be your friend while plotting your downfall.
Ah, There's the swapped gender roles that the Black Ash Clan has had for ages. It took a second read on this but I think she means Bruans is like a maiden head over heels and blinded by love, so taken they're blinded to the truth or all such a union would entail. Which would track considering what the Federation brings to the table and can build them up.
HAHAHAHA, nope. If they do join I don't think they'll have a reason or incentive to rejoin.
The little sister is both innocent and insightful/suspicious with being right on the money. the Armigers were freshly produced for this situation and occasion, it wasn't something we had lying around in hangars or the like for decades or centuries and we had experienced pilots for the Armigers with. Not just a few good ones to impress the locals and some recruits to train them up as they go, all decent and experienced pilots one and all. We do have the means to arrange them and we did.
....Oh dear. The sister likes the Thules and is curious if the rumors about them are true. Its always the ones you least expect. And of course the side-comment of the Federation having the Sense of having women pilot and control/dominate the strikecraft with 90 percent or so. They only allow the women to pilot the Imperial Knights here and that shows.
pfffft, The Queen is looking for a Consort and seems to be after the GrandMaster of the Blazing Sun. or just a fun night. Which takes on quite a different approach when you see how other women of the noble and knight houses would view such men and what roles they would be if they married and stayed there. and of course disgusts her sister for placing that image in their mind. Its a nice relaxing chapter with some light hearted moments.
hahaha, love the sisterly banter. Still the little sister is paying attention and on point for all the stuff that matters, even if she doesn't know how close she is. QM did note our Choirs and way of using Psykana is one of our core strengths and able to punch up to a ridicilous degree with being able to use planetary level psykana consistently and easily. Always interesting to see how other view the Choirs.... and they're doing tarots or playing poker right now.
pffft wait they depict Bnuy, Teeln's wife, as a bunnygirl? like just the ears? and the little sister thinks its amazing because of her own view on things. its adorable and true in a way with how rabbits are.
Cool Name for the Knight House and name of the Knight. I will admit I thought we would just supporting and propping up a local Knight house to fight for us but they are allowing a Pack to fight in a 3v1 and they will need it. I do hope we win so we can keep this up, I like the dynamic and interaction so far with the Black Ash Clan. it'd be a shame if things fell through and we'd have to do this with the military and get in a war.
1. If put into the 'faction/nations as human forms' what would you imagine the scene of the Federation barging into the Sub-sector here with the Knight Orders and 100 fresh Armigers out or seemingly nowhere to a Black Ash Clan and Black Cat Company?
2. what exactly are the rumors floating around about the Thules for the Black Ash Clan? and what was it about female pilots again for this faction? women take over piloting or just certain roles/job are gender specific?

I think the Black Ash Clan could fairly easily be roped in, I don't think they're invested in ruling so much as they're invested in the RP, and I think we can work with them on that. I'm just glad we could shake loose this action to unfuck our sleepwalking because this would have gotten ugly. As things stand, even if we lose, we've let everyone save face.

I think we'll probably be able to introduce actual proper Knights into our formations if we can integrate them safely, yeah. Mind you, our Armigers are absolutely cracked at this point, having gone through a few rounds of iteration and directly STC derived to boot, and our dudes are skilled enough we can probably project what we've learned onto the full scale ones too.
Actually, us winning is the only way everyone saves face, b/c I think Brans joining us is a foregone conclusion based on how we've infiltrated them for over a century. This duel is just to give the Black Ash Clan an honorable way to stomach the loss.
Basically, I think it's safe to say that this is pretty much Space!Bretonnia except Genderbent with the gender norms to match, so expect any position with actual power or prestige to be women only, so expect Men to just be common laborers, homemakers, and probably foot soldiers.
How large are our SDF's now with our current Void Industry Development?You have a Void Rating of V, meaning that all your systems will be guarded by ~10 Light Scout, ~3 Heavy, and 1 Light Cruiser Monitors. (Skipping over all the logistics of building them up, 'cause, ya know, 10 year turns and all that.)

Trust my girl Kiri. If she is anything like either of her (86 anime) parents she will pull her weight.

Sorry, I might be being a bit literal-minded here, but to say that the Tau are on their sixth sphere of expansion I think (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) implies that they have either had a second schism which has been resolved or a second schism never occurred.
However as the Tau Pathfinder fleet(s) still exists and now serve the Star Child, does this also imply that the social pressures that could lead to a second schism have essentially been gradually released over time by a trickle of dissidents joining the Pathfinder fleet(s) working as an effective "pressure valve" (which may lead to no second schism occurring), or does the Pathfinder fleet(s) only consist of descendants of the first Tau schism (which I think refers to the Farsight Enclaves and rebellion, but I'm not 100% sure)?
It's possible I'm just reading far too much into this in my ignorance so forgive me if I've missed the obvious intended answer here or read far beyond the scope of your answer. Thanks again for the wonderful quest and thread interaction, as always!

Bruh, Bnuy was a literal bunny anthro.
1. Imagine the Federation Nun lying naked on the ground in a sexy pose with only her head-dress, naughty bits strategically covered by toy Armigers, as she blows a kiss at Brans while her troupe strike Jo-Jo poses in the background.
2. Daring female pilots putting it all on the line in the line of duty as they fly against the worst of the galaxy within deadly and fragile strike craft. Who also enjoy carnal distractions with more than two people participating a bit too much.
Twice as large.
I'll let Cow Tools decide this one.
And what Star Child worship? They only met them once, and that was when they were lost and paddling around in the Materium for a bit.

Really? I don't remember that but I don't think I read the beginning in some type or passed over it somehow. Huh, our prophet was a furry.......
1. pfffffftt hahaha, I laughed hard not at the fact of what the Federation nun was doing but the trope doing JoJo poses in the background WHILE she does it. Also damn the Federation is a honey trap using mechs and nun to lure and tempt the poor Brans. This truly is just Federation Nun's reverse Harem.
2. hahaha, oh I see now. So the build up and idolization of them of their jobs and duty..... and then finding out the 'work hard, play hard' culture they have. I have a feeling the Thules are hits in the Black Ash Clan behind closed doors.
So what that's Two SBG's worth of SDF ships with a Defense Station that is worth one SBG... well damn. That is going to be a pain in the ass for ANY factions if they aren't deathballing like the Orks or Tyranids that is going to be a pain in the ass since EVERY System is going to be like that and cause attrition, not to mention you will have to deal with 3 SBG worth in addition to any SBG's we sent to reinforce the defenses there.
I think he's confusing the Tau Pathfinder for the Iconoclast Blazing Pathfinder Fleet.
Wait? Is 20 Light Scouts, 6 Heavy Scouts, and 2 Light Cruisers worth 2 SBGs? That doesn't sound right?
Well the thing was we have a SBG equivalent in SDF ships and then one SBG equivalent in the Defense Stations due to the Initiative. If we got double the size of it then it should.... wait scouts? where are you getting that? the non-warp travel versions are Monitors and each SDF does their own doctrine and builds. Each SDF has a Heavy Cruiser Flagship as that was the main thing when we crossed the threshold a long while ago. it has far more light cruisers and frigates then you are giving it.
where are you getting that info from?

That would make way more sense. I was assuming that Cooky was saying to double the SDF numbers I was quoting from back when we got Void Industry V.
...I forgot that our first choir leader of magic was Bunny, as in rabbit from the hat

Apologies, I had somehow gotten my wires crossed and conflated the Pathfinding Fleet with the Tau Pathfinders (scouting forces), and from there I had made the assumption the only Tau sub-faction heterodox enough to reach a point of helping an alien nascent warp entity would be some, presumably migratory offshoot of the Farsight Enclaves. That's my bad, sorry for the confusion.
