Helguard Void Infantry- General Richards has put forward a plan to train two divisions of Helguard Void Infantry, which would be equipped with Power Amour and more advanced weapons. This force would be far more deadly then your current Void Infantry and be able to defeat almost any foes in a boarding action. It would however be expensive and take quite some time to train.

Time: 9 years

General Richards estimates that this will be around two weeks.


Helltrooper Power Infantry: Armour and Air- General Richards has put forward a plan to equip your Helltrooper armour and air units with Pilot Basic Power Armour. This will provide a notable increase to your crews survival rates and combat capacity, while being only a fraction of the cost of the other power armour refits.

Reward: equip all air regiments, armour regiments and specialist armour regiments with pilot power armour

Locked- Three out of Four years completed

For the last three years General Richards has been working on training the Helltrooper Armour in all of its variants and the Helltrooper Air Wings in the sue of pilot armour. It is significantly easier training these forces in the use of power armour then it is the infantry regiments, who have to relearn many of their instincts as a result of the new equipment.


Helltrooper Power Mechanised Infantry: Mechanised Infantry- General Richards has put forward a plan to equip your Helltrooper Mechanised Infantry with power armour. This will greatly increase their combat power and life expectancy at a surprisingly affordable price. You are advised to begin this project immediately, and told that General Richards is working on plans to begin similar upgrades for the rest of your Helltrooper Regiments.

She tells you that most of the infantrymen have finished their basic training in the use of power armour and are now learning power armoured tactics on all levels, from the personal to multi-regimental.


Personal Attention: Campaign: Army- The current campaign is now going to shift to attack on the to main Ork domains, with the Avernite Army spearheading the assault on what was recently Kazag's Domain. General Richards will take the opportunity of changing theatres to reorganise her forces and move the more battered units back to Avernus.

Time: 14 years (if personal attention is used then only other Personal Attention that can be chosen is Campaign: Fleet)

Cost: 2,400,000,000 Thrones, 1,200,000,000 Material, 100,000,000 Promethium. 158,000 Advanced Material, 1,780 Exotic material.
Reward: army assists Imperial Trust in taking and holding new worlds, must be selected

Locked- Five out of Fourteen years completed

For the last half decade you have been leading the attack into what was recently the Domain of Kazag the Mighty, and was once known as the Civilised Worlds Collective. Despite resistance from several Ork Warlords you have made good progress, and have taken control seven of them. This leaves five to take, which includes the capital Cobalt which will take years to seize by itself due to extensive layered fortifications.

Construct: Warships -Admiral Sarnow has put forward a proposal to build the rest of the ships that you planned for the Avernite Navy, baring those on order from Vanaheim which are expected to arrive within the decade. This will take some time and use up a decent portio of the ships from the ship graveyard but will bring your fleet to full strength for the first time.

Time: 14 years.

Two years ago you were informed that the shipyards of Avernus had finished their next major warship construction project. As well as replacing some of your earlier casualties this project gives you the solid core of heavy cruisers that the Avernite fleet was intended to be built around. The new ships have already been deployed to reinforce the Avernite navy where their firepower and armour has proven to be highly useful in the planarity assaults you are conducting.


Construct: Repairs- Your fleet suffered significant damage in the recent campaign against the Orks. It would be a good idea to repair what damage you can and replace what ship can't be repaired as soon as possible. Admiral Sarnow estimates that this will take around a decade.

Time: 10 years.

Cost: 2,110,000,000 Thrones, 357,000,000 Material, 12,300,000 Promethium, 1,738,000 Advanced Material, 19,900 Exotic Material.

Locked- Two out of Ten years completed

For the last two years Avernus' shipyards have been working on repairing the ships damaged in the recent campaign, and replacing those that fell in battle. While several of the escorts have been repaired even the least damaged of the capital ships will take several more years to fully repair. Admiral Sarnow mentions that without the advanced starships construction technology that you found on The Well of Urd these repairs would have taken half again as long, and you could not have worked on s many ships at a time.


Expedite: Build Advanced Orbital Defence Stations- Now that you have the designs Admiral Parnell strongly advises that you build some Advanced Orbital Defence Stations. While he will want thirty-six in total he tells you that six is the most that his workers can work on at the moment, so he would prefer to build six at a time. Given the sheer defensive utility of these stations you see no reason to disagree with Admiral Parnell on their importance.

Time: 8 years.

Reward: 3 Advanced Orbital Defence Stations for Avernus and Deiphobe

Locked- Five out of Seven years completed

For the last half decade Admiral Sarnow has directed the construction of another half dozen Advanced Orbital Defence Stations, which should better prepare the orbital defences of Avernus in the years to come. These stations are now most of the way to being completed, with only some f the weapons and shield generators remaining to be finished, along with the majority of the living areas.


Campaign: Fleet- The current campaign is now going to shift to attack on the to main Ork domains, with the Avernite Army spearheading the assault on what was recently Kazag's Domain. It is expected that the Avernite Navy will play a major roll in this.

Locked – Five out of Fourteen years completed

For the last five years Admiral Sarnow has led the majority of the Avernite Fleet in the sultan on what was recently the Domain of Kazag. Despite some casualties he has been very successful in this campaign, and has dealt with several worlds orbital defences with surprising low casualties, especially when youu take into account the sheer number of Roks in the area.

Locked – Five out of Fourteen years completed

You have been splitting your attention between complaining ground and naval forces over the last five years. While it has taken some time to get used to commanding both at once now that you are sued to it the freedom provided by the massive range of options has proven to be very useful, especially for dealing with the more heavily fortified positions hat you are starting to encounter.

The population of Avernus grew by an average of 1.55% over the last five years, with the population reaching sixteen billion.

Expand Arbor to Small Hive- Now that the cities of Duat have all been built, or are in the final stages of construction it would be a good idea to expand one of them into a Small Hive. This would provide a centre for the administration and defence of the region and allow for a greater population to build up. It would also be possible to build more small hives in other regions, though not nearly as important.

Time: 10 years.

Reward: Expand city to Small Hive

Complete

Edvin has recently finished expanding the city of Arbor into a Small Hive, which covers all of the island more then six kilometres from the coast, a total of almost a hundred and fifty square kilometres. This means that the entire island is well within engagement range of the cities defences and formidable short range AA, making attacking the city from the land or air challenging. This will hopefully convince some attackers to try amphibious assaults on the city, which will likely fall prey to the nearby krakan.


Upgrade Defences: Salem- Edvin Dieuwer has recently finished making plans to upgrade the defences of Avernus' cities to the next level. Another option would be to start with one of the Small Hives that act ass your regional centres. This would be far cheaper then starting with Dis while still protecting a large number of citizens, especially in the case of The Fens and Garden Grove.

Time: 8 years.

Cost: 2,070,000,000 Thrones, 2,020,000,000 Material, 1,900,000,000 Metal, 428,000,000 Promethium, 1,710,000 Advanced Material, 11,400 Exotic Material.

Reward: Upgrade selected Small Hives' defences to Incredibly heavy (level 7)

Complete

Edvin has recently overseen the final stages of upgrading the defences of Salem, which are designed to be equally capable against any form of assault. This is the last of the cities in Aridia that need to have their defences upgraded barring Silver Lakes, which is under the domain of the Adepts Mechanicus.


Upgrade Defences: Hollin- Edvin Dieuwer has recently finished making plans to upgrade the defences of Avernus' cities to the next level. Another option would be to start with one of the Small Hives that act ass your regional centres. This would be far cheaper then starting with Dis while still protecting a large number of citizens, especially in the case of The Fens and Garden Grove.

Reward: Upgrade selected Small Hives' defences to Incredibly heavy (level 7)

Locked- Seven out of Eight years completed

Edvin tells you that he has almost finished upgrading the defences of Hollin, the only Small Hive on Avernus that lacks incredibly heavy defences. He tells you that Hollin has a greater focus on ground defence then normal cities as its location in the enter of the inhabited region make orbital bombardment risky.


Thaddeus Expertise: Upgrade Defences: Helm's Deep- Edvin Dieuwer has recently finished making plans to upgrade the defences of Avernus' cities to the next level. Another option would be to start with one of the Small Hives that act ass your regional centres.

Reward: Upgrade selected Small Hives' defences to Incredibly heavy (level 7)

Complete

A bit over a year ago Thaddeus finished upgrading the defences of Helm's Deep, which is now far better prepared to resist massed assault. Due to its location at the north the city has a greater focus on defences that are effective against daemonic assault, which is most likely going to hit it harder then any of the other hives.


Thaddeus Expertise: Expand Nurn to Small Hive- Now that the cities of Duat have all been built, or are in the final stages of construction it would be a good idea to expand one of them into a Small Hive.

Currently Thaddeus is laying the foundation for the expansion of Nurn in Elysium into a Small Hive. It will take almost a full decade to conduct this expansion, and during much of this period the city will be vulnerable to attack. However it is highly unlikely that an external enemy will attack Avernus in this period and General Richards is confident that her soldiers will be able to defend Nurn for long enough.

Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan's diplomats have been working on repairing the damage that your recent actions have caused to the reputation of Avernus. They are continuing to make progress but Avernus is still the most disliked member of the Imperial Trust.

The Blood Dragon's have started a major offensive against the minor Ork worlds, bringing overwhelming force to bear on one at a time and taking enough time to ensure that they are thorough. They expect to take at least a few dozen Ork worlds out by the time that the Ork Gods awaken.

Re-examine (Aryz)- It has been many decades since Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has gathered information on the notables of the Imperial Trust and so the information that he gathered is now well out of date. Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has suggested that he spend a few years conducting new investigations on people of interest in order to determine how they have changed.

Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan spent a pair of years investigating the reputation of Muspelheim within the Imperial Trust. He found that it had almost as interesting a reputation as Avernus, being viewed as an living remnant of the Dark Age of Technology. This leads to the planet being respected but viewed as an outsider, and what works for them not necessarily working for normal humans. This reputation has only been enhanced by the recent upgrades to the Nomad cities and Muspelheim starting to construct starforts to house its population.

Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan then turned his attention to the relationship between Muspelheim and Vanaheim. He found that while Vanaheim respects Muspelheim for its knowledge of the past and the ancient traditions it keeps alive, their view on it has become strained in recent years due to the fact that Muspelheim seems to be trying to export its traditions to the rest of the Immemorial Trust. On the other hand Muspelheim respects Vanaheim's determination and willingness to put itself into major debt for the sake of creating a asset for the Imperial Trust, and for long term gains, but finds that Vanaheim's belief in the value of tradition to be strange. When taken together the two attitudes make amusing reading.

Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan then turned his attention to the relationship between Muspelheim and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Due to your close ties with Fabricator-General Scott he was able to gather a lot of information, though some of the information is rather worrying. He found that opinion in the Adeptus Mechanicus of Muspelheim is rather split, with one side admiring them and the other viewing them as Herateks. In general the more progressive members of the Adeptus Mechanicus admire Muspelheim's expert use of advanced technologies and ties with the Dark Age of Technology while the conservatives piont to the fact that Muspelheim is almost certainly hiding a large amount of technology from the Adeptus Mechanicus and has for millennia, which I in itself a major affront to the Adeptus Mechanicus. They then suggest that the reason that Muspelheim is not sharing its technology even in these dark times is that if they showed any more it would become obvious that they are the vilest of Herateks, possibly even consorting with Abominable Intelligence.

Jane reports that the number of Chaos Cultists found per year has increased slightly to around a two hundred and forty.

Of the two thousand nine hundred and twenty-four major psykers found over the last five years two hundred and forty-three of them were Chaotic, again
Two hundred and nineteen of the Chaotic Psykers consisting of one Beta-level, nine Gamma-levels, thirty-four Delta-levels, eighty-seven Epsilon-levels and eighty-eight Zeta-levels were killed without causing any significant levels of damage this over the last three years.
At least eighteen of the Chaos Psykers including six Gamma-levels and twelve Delta-levels were dragged though warp rifts that closed behind them.
One Beta-level, three Gamma-levels, a Delta-level and a Epsilon-level caused minor damage before being eliminated, killing 1,444,000 militiamen, 24,000 PDF Troopers, 28,000 Helltroopers, 766 Psyker Hunters, 176 Veteran Psyker Hunters, 48 Elite Psyker Hunters, 432 Witch Hunters, 208 Veteran Witch Hunters and 12 Witch Finders, 40 minor Battle Psykers, 24 Veteran minor Battle Psykers, 2 Elite minor Battle Psyker and 1 major Battle Psyker.

The untainted major Psykers included 1 Alpha-levels 7 Beta,levels, 31 Gamma-levels, 187 Delta-levels, 789 Epsilon-levels and 1,666 Zeta-levels.
292,366 minor Psykers were located by the Witch Finders over the last five years. This was average of little under sixty thousand a year, very close to the number that is estimated to be born each year.


Super Elite Operatives: Batch Two- Once Jane has finished modifying her training schedule she will be able to start training her second batch of Super-Elite Operatives. While this will be just as time consuming as the first it will produce better trained operatives, and probably around twice as many of them. Jane expects to be able to finalise the training regime after the second batch of Super-Elite operatives graduate.

For the last five years Jane has continued to train her second batch of Super-Elite Operatives, who are now starting their main training. Currently a bit over two hundred of the initial candidates have died, a twenty recent improvement. There is also a noticeable improvement in the performance reviews across the board when comparing the current candidates to the first batch.


Motherhood: Times Five- Now that Jane has adopted a son she wishes to spend as much time as possible with him in his formative years. While she can already spend far more time with Jacob then you could with Syr, due to her skill in delegation and training, she would like to spend even more if possible. As well as being some well deserved time off this would increase the chance that Jane would be able to pass more of her talent with the blade to Jacob, who is already very gifted.

Jane has continued to devote a large portion of her time to raising Jacob, who is now fourteen. From what you can gather he is developing into a surprisingly well rounded young man, especially considering his mother. The on exception to this is his skills with the baled, which he seems to have inherited from his mother in full.

Saint Lin spent a major portion of his time over the last five years at the Unseen University helping those psykers approaching the trails ready themselves. He was highly successful in the efforts, in part because High Grandmaster Ridcully was able to warn him of a turn of phrase that would have been misinterpreted to terrible effect. However it was as a result of his guidance that all three of the Beta-levels that took the trails in this time period passed.

Locked- Five out of Fourteen years completed

You spent the last five years leading a major prong of the Imperial Trust's current campaign, time in which you have not set foot on Avernus once. You have been given command on an entire front of the campaign, almost half of the forces currently deployed. While commanding a campaign over several systems is a far larger scale then you have ever encountered and presents its own challenges before it has not taken for you to accustom yourself to the new scale of command. It helps that this is not the first time that you have had to accustom yourself to operating on a new scale, and you suspect that it will not be the last.

You sent a pair of years attempting to get to know Jane's son, Jacob via correspondence. While the medium of communication that you had was not the best you still got a basic idea of his character, which is an interesting mix of duty bound and a thrill-seeker. You also helped develop his tactical mind by setting up scenarios for him and asking him to solve them.

You managed to spend a good deal of time with Syr a couple of years ago when her new ship, the Poacher Class Cruiser Pursuer, was assigned under your command for a few years. Syr is very proud of getting a cruiser command, which is very impressive for a Naval Officer with her experience and a sign that she is has been put on the fast track for promotion, though her army rank is still superior to her naval rank.

You have continued to work closely with mark Sarnow over the last five years, with him sometimes commanding the main Avernite Fleet and sometimes leaving command in your hands as he commands a light element. You suspect that this patten will continue for quite some time, though evntually soemone else may reaplce you as the commander of the line of battle. Syr perhaps.
