Turn 13 overview
  • Threadmarks
    • The thirteenth year of our ascension to the cosmos ends with more major infrastructural projects, both civilian and military, being completed, even as our Navy undergoes a slight expansion, with two new corvettes and four new destroyers being commissioned, a few vital breakthroughs in the scientific fields, the arts of the deities are being slowly rediscovered, with some good progress in that direction, even as the first planetary colony ship is built and our people look to settle celestial bodies beyond our homeworld.


    Overview: Naval Actions
    Purveyor-class planetary colony ship × 1
    Hunter-class corvette × 2
    Raider-class destroyer × 4

    Cost: 1.1995 B minerals, 359.91 M nanomaterials
    Shakedown cruise duration: 1 month

    Thanks to the efforts of our shipbuilders, we have been able to inaugurate the first vessel intended to carry colonists to form a planetary colony, the Purveyor, even as two new Hunter-class corvettes and four new Raider-class destroyers have been added to the Cosmonaval Fleet.



    Overview: Infrastructure Actions
    Build mining facilities in the Northern Dap'tarral Plateau (Phase 3)

    Description: The Dap'tarral Plateau is an expansive volcanic plateau that has seen considerable volcanic activity in the past. As of now, the several volcanoes here have gone silent for many years, and the region is now teeming with several highly rich mineral veins. The problem with tapping then lies in the fact that there are quite a lot of them, and thus we will have to split the operations into two regions - north and south, and then staggering the operations for each region over multiple phases. It will be a very, very laborious undertaking, but the end results will be worth it.
    Cost: 1.4 B minerals, 420 M nanomaterials
    Time: 13.8 months
    Chance of success: 85%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 183 (Brilliant success)

    At long last, the final stage of mine development in the northern Dap'tarral Plateau is complete! This development has come at a particularly opportune time, as the Cor'av'na and the Defense Secretariat have considerable plans for the Dae'laan.

    Reward: Increased minerals production (+3.5 B minerals per year)

    Build Blue Dan'xenal mining facilities in the Nel'rannir Hills

    Description: The Nel'rannir Hills have a rather grim aspect to them, being devoid of most forms of vegetation, save a few exceedingly hardy shrubs. Such is the nature of the hills that they have inspired several myths of being cursed by Nes'taria. Recent surveys, however, suggest a cause that is more materialistic than divine. They have identified some Green Dan'xenal veins underneath, alongside veins of Blue Dan'xenal. In light of the recent scare, we should stock up on this hopefully useful material.
    Cost: 650 M minerals, 195 M nanomaterials
    Time: 8.5 months
    Chance of success: 70%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 154 (Notable success)

    Reward: Additional Green Dan'xenal production (+2.8 M Green Dan'xenal per year)


    Build Green and Blue Dan'xenal mining facilities in the Aj'nellim Depression

    Description: One of the notable characteristics of the Aj'nellim Depression is the unusual bright orange coloration of the sand present here. It has been the topic of speculation for years, to which we now have a feasible answer, as a survey has detected a vein of Green Dan'xenal alongside a vein of Blue Dan'xenal. A proposal has been prepared regarding tapping into them. All it needs are resources and personnel.
    Cost: 850 M minerals, 255 M nanomaterials
    Time: 8.2 months
    Chance of success: 80%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 173 (Major success)

    Build arcologies near the Fen'zarril Hills

    Description: Now that we have cut our teeth in building arcologies, it is time to take up more projects. The next group is slated to be built near the Fen'zarril Hills. The region is for the most part untamed and by building arcologies, we can populate it with minimal impact on the local environment.
    Cost: 900 M minerals, 270 M nanomaterials
    Time: 35 months
    Chance of success: 71%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 169 (Appreciable success)

    A new set of arcologies have been built in the Fen'zarril Hills, and already they are being populated by those who wish to live closer to the untamed wilds. The colonists are beginning to settle down into what is a very wild part of the Nav'korran Expanse.

    Rewards: 7 small arcologies built. Additional minerals and nanomaterials production (+950 M minerals, +285 M nanomaterials per year); population limit increases by 350 million.


    Build arcologies in the Les'tarros Plains

    Description: The Les'tarros Plains are a charming little piece of land in the proximity of a lush forest and a mineral node in the southeast of the Nav'korran Expanse. The terrain there would be an ideal candidate for building another group of arcologies.
    Cost: 940 M minerals, 282 M nanomaterials
    Time: 39 months
    Chance of success: 72%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 174 (Major success)

    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-09 (Level 2)

    Cost: 1.7 M minerals, 510K nanomaterials
    Time: 15 months
    Chance of success: 78%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 163 (Appreciable success)

    The Lorefinders have finished exploring the second level of the site XA-09.

    On the second level, they found some more vats and cisterns to mix chemical agents in, as well as secure storehouses where they were presumably stored for use. Right now, they are empty - not a single barrel happens to be present. Not that it matters much, but we would liked to have a few for analysis.

    Anyhow, their report states that this facility is in good shape, and can be restored with resources and time.

    Unlocked: Restore and reactivate Facility XA-09 (Military Action)


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-10 (Level 2)

    Cost: 5.6 M minerals, 1.68 M nanomaterials
    Time: 16 months
    Chance of success: 78%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 172 (Major success)

    The Lorefinders have carried out a thorough exploration of the second underground level of the site XA-10, and have compiled a report regarding the same.

    The second level is quite expansive, with additional supplementary assembly lines present. Also present are sizable warehouses with crates full of components, which we presume are for the military equipment that used to be manufactured here. We will hopefully be able to put them to use in some way or the other.

    What makes things better is the presence of an underground railway line, presumably to improve logistics, and connect this manufactory complex to the other military installations we have found earlier. This will naturally be of much use to us.

    We have found schematics for vehicles and aircraft that mostly conform to what we had found in our earlier explorations of the XA-category sites. These can serve as a good basis for new vehicles and aircraft, and such has been noted down in the report to the Cor'av'na, along with the fact that this facility is in very good condition, and only needs resources and time to restore to working condition.

    Unlocked: Restore and reactivate Facility XA-10 (Military Action)


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-11

    Cost: 1.5 M minerals, 450K nanomaterials
    Time: 20 months
    Chance of success: 66%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 97 (Close failure)

    Based on the data from the last expedition five years ago, we got down to work, combing every bit of the sand we could see in front of us. We searched very thoroughly, but still could not find the hidden entrance. However, these searches have narrowed the field down to one particular region, where we have the most reason to believe the entrance is located.

    Status: Chance of success increased by 14%


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-12

    Cost: 1.5 M minerals, 450K nanomaterials
    Time: 21 months
    Chance of success: 50%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 78 (Failure)

    Much of the time of the second expedition to XA-12 has been consumed by exploring the cave system. It is indeed rather expansive, and offers excellent insights as to the geological history of Xan'qarras. We have named it the Vel'tazan Cave System.

    During the course of the exploration, we checked each and every nook and cranny of the system, which has for obvious reasons slowed us down. One thing is obvious, though - we'll be here for quite a while, if we want to find that hidden entrance.

    Status: Chance of success by 5%


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-13

    Cost: 1.7 M minerals, 510K nanomaterials
    Time: 23 months
    Chance of success: 55%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 96 (Close failure)

    Having set up a mobile base camp on one of the sides of the canyon, our cybernetics teams got down to work on the cybersecurity systems. Five years ago, they were considered tough, tricky and resilient, but now, with the development of new quantum and optical supercomputers, dealing with them is appreciably easier. In fact, the algorithms have been decrypted up to 75% in this attempt. They ask for some more time, and they are sure to open the doors for us.

    Status: Chance of success increased by 15%


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-14

    Cost: 1.9 M minerals, 570K nanomaterials
    Time: 1 year 2 months
    Chance of success: 66%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 87 (Failure)

    It was all we could do to set up a proper base camp in the vicinity of the site, for starters. After that we mapped out the entire site with drones to get a better idea of what we were dealing…and it turned out to be quite a handful.

    There is a very considerable amount of fortifications and defenses at the site, giving rise to the question: exactly what could it be that would warrant such security measures? We can only assume the level of the cybersecurity protocols if the physical defenses are so formidable. Nevertheless, we have gotten down to work, neutralizing external defenses and trying to crack down the cybersecurity measures.

    Status: Chance of success increased by 2%


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-15

    Cost: 2.2 M minerals, 660K nanomaterials
    Time: 1 year 5 months
    Chance of success: 60%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 69 (Failure)

    The site XA-15 is one way to redefine the term "challenge" (the other being XA-16).

    For one, the location of the entrance is…unbelievable. An underground cave system that opens near the Sel'kaarnos Bay, which is a rather cyclone-prone region. The approach to the location is defended by a series of gun emplacements and hardened bunker aggregates, making it even more of a challenge.

    Status: Chance of success set to 50%.


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-16

    Cost: 2.5 M minerals, 750K nanomaterials
    Time: 1 year 8 months
    Chance of success: 60%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 67 (Failure)

    The site XA-16 is one way to redefine the term "challenge" (the other being XA-15).

    The location of the entrance is in a rather hostile part of Xan'qarras - the footthills of the El'garkan Mountains, the highest mountain range on the planet. The fact that there are Neph'lar Drakes in the vicinity doesn't make it any easier, along with the bitterly cold temperatures.

    Status: Chance of success set to 50%.


    Explore unknown alien ruins XA-17

    Cost: 2.8 M minerals, 840K nanomaterials
    Time: 1 year 11 months
    Chance of success: 63%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 89 (Failure)

    Regarding the site XA-17, our teams have been able to largely disable the automated defenses; however, the cybersecurity algorithms are proving to be a bit of a challenge. Our hackers, though, are confident of breaking them down, given some more time.

    Status: Chance of success increased by 3%



    Overview: Research Actions

    Reward: Chance of success for Biotechnology projects increased by 7.5%; cost of Biotechnology projects reduced by 15%.


    Analysis - Unknown Alien Cybernetic Implants

    Description: The implants recovered from the site XA-05 are of an intriguing nature in that they are supposed to integrate with the body of the recipient. Such a technology is rather unfamiliar to us, due to the fact that our senses have been heightened considerably with years of harsh training and livelihood to the point that the idea of artificially enhancing them was dismissed. Maybe, we should open up this concept again?
    Category: Cybernetics
    Cost: 200 M nanomaterials
    Time: 3 years 18.72 months
    Chance of success: 75%
    Unlocks: Cybernetic implants available for production.

    Reward: Cybernetics actions in Project Nef'ar'zal are unlocked.


    Improved Destroyer Maintenance Subroutines

    Description: Building a navy and maintaining it is by no means a cheap thing. It requires appreciable amounts of expenses - something that we can afford at the moment. Still, we should reduce expenses wherever possible. Our researchers have ideas for specialized subroutines that will help with the maintenance of our destroyers.
    Category: Cosmocraft - Military
    Cost: 415 M nanomaterials
    Time: 15 months

    Reward: Raider-class destroyer maintenance costs reduced by 15%.


    Orbital Shipyard Expansion (Level 3)

    Description: Our cosmic engineers have come up with a plan to upgrade the existing design of the orbital shipyard we are building right now. The new design will have more berths for constructing vessels, and they will be made such that they are capable of building vessels one class larger than the destroyers.
    Category: Cosmic Facilities
    Cost: 950 M nanomaterials
    Time: 4 years
    Chance of success: 85%

    Pantheon
    Basic Stellar Restoration Rites

    Description: The holy energies of the sun are not merely used for purification and cleansing, they have a restorative purpose as well. In the past, the Starwalkers aided the healers with their own abilities in this field. Rediscovering them would be of great benefit to us.
    Time: 2 years
    Chance of success: 90%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 184 (Brilliant success)

    The initial rites of Stellar Restoration proved to be quite easy to learn and master. So much so that the practitioners are somewhat disappointed at having no opportunity to put their skills to use any time soon. Still, this is a step in the right direction.

    Reward: Battlefield casualty recovery increased by 5%; low-level Chaos corruption can be cleansed.

    Unlocked: Intermediate Stellar Restoration Rites (Lore of the Light)


    Basic Stellar Wrath Rites

    Description: The energies of the Light do not just purify and heal, they can be used offensively as well. There have been several examples of this during the Voidspawn Wars. Relearning the rites concerned would, thus, be in our best interest.
    Time: 2 years
    Chance of success: 85%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 175 (Major success)

    The first set of Stellar Wrath rites and spells have been relearned successfully by the priesthood and psiolytes, who now feel a little more confident to take on the foul spawn of the Void, should they come our way.

    Reward: Basic level Stellar Wrath rites and spells available. Can deal 150% damage to lesser Chaos daemons, 95% damage to intermediate Chaos daemons, and 50% damage to Greater Chaos daemons.


    Basic Wrath of the Wilds Rites

    Description: The wilds can be like a caring parent, providing one with all that is needed to sustain life. However, they can also be like your worst enemy, mauling and poisoning those that fall foul of them. Several rites were devised in the years of the Voidspawn Wars, which make use of this fierce power. We must rediscover them if we wish to stand a chance against the abominations of the Void.
    Time: 2 years
    Chance of success: 90%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 194 (Near-perfect success)

    The rediscovery of the Wild Wrath rites has been a smashing success in every way possible. The initiated druids have taken to the rites and spells like a fish does to water, and the results are very promising. Some in the priesthood are optimistic about remastering the entire field in a few years at this rate.

    Reward: Basic level Wrath of the Wilds rites and spells available. Can deal 125% damage to lesser Chaos daemons (150% to lesser Noxious Phagemaker daemons), 85% damage to intermediate Chaos daemons (95% - 105% damage to intermediate Noxious Phagemaker daemons) and 45% damage to Greater Chaos daemons (50% - 60% damage to Greater Noxious Phagemaker daemons)


    Basic Shadewalker Rites

    Description: The shadows are the hiding place for all sorts of no-gooders, or at least, that is what most people tend to believe. But they have been used effectively as a shroud by those with good intentions as well. Those who were able to master this ability were called Shadewalkers. By means of some rites and spells, they could meld in with the darkness. Relearning this ability is of the utmost importance if we are to have an advantage against our enemies.
    Time: 3 years
    Chance of success: 80%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 163 (Appreciable success)

    There were some difficulties in the process, but in spite of them, our priesthood and psiolytes have been able to master the rites of the Shadewalkers. While these are not capable of recreating the legendary shadow-melding abilities of the past, they provide a sufficient veneer of darkness for one to observe something undetected.

    Reward: Basic Shadewalker spells available.

    Unlocked: Intermediate Shadewalker Rites (Lore of Shadows)


    Basic Refinement Rites

    Description: There is an old saying, "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link." This maxim is something that blacksmiths and metalworkers have taken to heart, as they strive to remove any impurities whatsoever while making a weapon or a tool. In the past, special rites were used to purify the metals. The weapons and tools made using them were very sturdy, and stood the test of time. Maybe we should consider rediscovering them, and combining them with our technological prowess to see what kind of weapons and tools we get.
    Time: 3 years
    Chance of success: 80%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 162 (Appreciable success)

    It was a bit harder than we expected, but the combination of persistence and the large numbers of volunteers paid off in the end, as we have been able to relearn the preliminary rites and spells of Refinement. Our toolmakers and workers at the Arsenal and Ordnance Manufactory Complexes are being trained in these rites and spells, and the initial results look to be promising.

    Reward: Overall performance of all tools, weapons and munitions increased by 10%.

    Psionics
    Basic Runecrafting Methods

    Description: "Runecrafting is an art that requires an appreciable level of expertise, finesse and precision. For even the slightest mistake in etching can change the characteristics of a rune." This is the motto of several of our esteemed Runecrafters, who distinguished themselves during the Voidspawn Wars. The runes created by them were of great aid to us, by either strengthening our forces, or weakening the foe. It will be in our interest to relearn these powerful methods.
    Time: 2 years
    Chance of success: 72%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 124 (Success)

    With some help from the breakthroughs achieved last time, as well as a few right now, we have been able to crack the basics of the art of Runecrafting. It indeed deserves its reputation of being a difficult art to learn and master. However, once mastered, it can provide considerable power to its practitioners and their allies. For now, we are able to create basic runes with our current knowledge.

    Reward: Low-level Runes can be crafted.

    Unlocked: Intermediate Runecrafting Methods (Anti-Daemonology Research Option)


    Intermediate Wardcrafting Methods

    Description: Our success in relearning the arts of Wardcrafting is a positive sign and a ray of hope for the Anti-Daemonologists. However, we cannot afford to rest on this little success, as there are methods to create more advanced Wards than the ones we can make right now. Relearning these methods will not be easy, but considering what threats we had faced during the Voidspawn Wars, the efforts will prove to be worth it.
    Time: 3 years 18 months
    Chance of success: 66%
    Progress: 1 year / 1 year 6 months

    • Grade 2 psiolytes = 8,736
    • Grade 3 psiolytes = 15,194
    • Grade 4 psiolytes = 7,943
    • Grade 5 psiolytes = 146


    Basic Formation Crafting Methods

    Description: The only thing that requires a greater level of finesse and precision than a rune is a formation. While not easy to make, when properly made and executed, the results can be impressive, as is told in the histories of the Voidspawn Wars, where our Formationists put their skills to good use, conjuring formation arrays of a supportive and of a destructive nature. Needless to say, we must put effort into rediscovering these powerful arts.
    Time: 2 years
    Chance of success: 64%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 94 (Close failure)

    Unfortunately, our third attempt at comprehending the methods of Formation Crafting has again met with failure. However, we have made a few vital breakthroughs that all but ensure success on our next attempt.

    Status: Chance of success increased by 11%


    Form Order

    Description: As our prowess in the psionic arts improves with time, along with the numbers of our psiolytes, it would be worth the consideration to form orders out of the practitioners of the various disciplines of the psionic fields.
    Time: 1 year
    Chance of success: 100%
    Rolls: 2d100 = 197 (Near-perfect success)

    And the XB sites are off the table for now, as we can't crack the XB language ( I'm pretty sure it's Eldar but I don't know if that's been confirmed in canon. Maybe if we start up a new colony next turn with the Purveyor that might open up more archeological site we can actually investigate.

    Also, we get a discount of a third rather than a quarter for Analysis of Unknown Alien Cosmocraft Designs? HELL YES!!!!!
     
    BTW how do all these investments in military infrastructure affecting the economy and the populace ?Is it boosting to the economy ?

    How about fuck no ???

    We're a single world still undergoing development, not even a single star system, and we're freaking out at the landing of a single Imperial light cruiser on our homeworld. Our biggest ships are destroyers and we have no access to warp travel. We are nowhere near ready to take on the forces of even a single Rogue Trader, let alone an Imperial scout force.

    I am accumulating positive energy in this thread to supercharge the rolls
    Also,we already have a colony ship and the super soldier project is going well so far;we just need more ships to start settling other planets and rocks so we can extract resources from and fortify them and also complete the super soldier project so when the Imps come looking for a lost ship they'll have a nasty surprise of power armoured monkeys with weapons that can one shot anything and everything they can throw at us
    Thank you all for coming to my TEDTalk

    Good arguments you two put forward.

    I can say this - the Imperials won't exactly be looking that desperately for a single rogue Endeavor, they haven't come to that point where every ship is essential.

    But I can also say this - the Warp/Void is a crazy thing, and there is no telling as to what pops out of it, and when.

    Stability mechanic and how it works
  • Informational
    • While you all wait for Turn 14 (unfortunately delayed due to writer's block), let me explain to you how the stability stat works.

    It is simple, tbh. The higher the value of the stat, the greater the measure of stability within your territory, and thus, the greater the Order within. That is, if you stay above 50.

    On the contrary, if you go below 50, then you are looking at significant levels of disorder, aka Chaos, and at the lowest, you are basically worshipping one of the Four Dark Gods.

    Scale:

    1. 90 - 100% (Exceptionally Stable): This faction/entity has a very high level of stability and can be considered to be a beacon of Order.

    (Negligible chance of Chaos cults arising)


    2. 70 - 89% (Highly Stable): For the most part, this faction/entity is very stable, with minor undercurrents of internal tensions. It can be considered to be Orderly enough, but should not let the internal tensions be.

    (Very small to small chance (0 - 10%) of Chaos cults arising)


    3. 60 - 69% (Moderately Stable): This faction/entity can be said to be stable, but has appreciable internal issues that threaten the peace and the fabric of its society. It will have to take action against said issues with a degree of urgency.

    (Notable chance (10 - 20%) of Chaos cults arising)


    4. 50 - 59% (Somewhat Stable): This faction/entity is barely holding on a semblance of Orderliness, with considerable internal problems threatening to cause it to disintegrate and unravel. Immediate action is recommended.

    (Appreciable chance (21 - 30%) of Chaos cults arising)


    5. 40 - 49% (Somewhat Unstable): This faction has descended into the first stage of Disorderliness, with its internal tensions and rifts now a definitive feature of its societal fabric, as it turns away from the Light.

    (Moderate chance to not-insignificant chance (31 - 49%) of Chaos cults arising)


    6. 30 - 39% (Appreciably Unstable): This faction/entity has taken another step towards Disorder and Chaos, with more evidence to allegiance to a dark power.

    (Considerable chance (50 - 69%) of Chaos cults arising)


    7. 20 - 29% (Severely Unstable): This faction/entity is at the penultimate stage of the path of damnation, and a virtual slave to the Dark Power(s).

    (High chance (70 - 89) of Chaos cults arising)


    8. 0 - 19% (Exceptionally Unstable): This faction/entity has given itself over to Chaos in its entirety, and will fight for the darkness with their lives.

    (Very high chance (90 - 100%) of Chaos cults arising)
