A light on the frontier:40k Planetary Governor Quest

Reader mode
Do we have any heavy industry like tooling or die plants? Maybe something with hand tools as well, like powered equipment or modern picks and mining stuff.
 
Waiting for the moment our domain gets updated to an industrial world (really far from that but with 4 turns of hyper focus on development and economy def possible), and the tithe will be changed accordingly.. Probably tying some weapon production/aircraft/voidcraft alongside the usual pay and guardsmen tithe.

Wonder if there are any crusades or crises nearby that would ask for commitments, though with the very active and competent inquisitor that does seem unlikely.

Given that we are a Marcher lord now, it should lower the tithe. That's the main point of the role: increased local military obligation in exchange for reduction in taxes and other demands.
 
[X] Construction equipment

How large are regiments as an aside, irl they're 800 combat personnel so one regiment isn't a lot on a planetary scale.

In Glory or Death and a few other quests a guards regiment is 10k if I'm remembering it correctly, the Baal Auxiliary regiments were that much during the great battle there in that quest.

Even still it is most likely a reduced tithe rather than a completely absent one, and this is pretty much a stimulus for us to develop faster and further. Not sure if it will be completely absent since the imperium is always starving for resources and at the end of the day what we pay here is used usually to stave off some xeno empire, traitor uprising etc.

Right, that too; imagine being the unlucky bastard who asks for a regiment of reinforcements but you get one from a planet that still follows NATO force organization and instead of 5000-1000 men you get 800.

To be a guardsmen is suffering and in a lot of cases they have to make do eith what they have. Sooner or later though casualties would normalize the numbers and they are probably reorganized and consolidated/reinforced when in the field anyway since rarely do they get an easy and simple campaign
 
An unfortunate fact of the GRIM DARK FUTURE BATTLEFIELD

EDIT: @dh188709
Just a quick question about the setting thst I thought of in another thread (and seeing as we're making ships), but are you using the lore that Imperial ships use thousands of slaves to load their guns? That always felt silly to me and it looks like so far we're running with a more grounded view of the Imperium's industry and development (at least I think, might be pulling this one).

I was using a more nato-type formation system. As you may have noticed I have a more grounded view and interpretation of the Imperium. With regiments being 800-1200 men each depending on their type.

I am not using that lore, while I do think the Imperial warships need staffing closer to 1800s/1900s as they don't use as much computerization as we do now. I also think that simple mechanical cranes and other devices do most of the heavy lifting instead of 1000s of slaves.
 
ahh cool!

Honestly that doesn't feel like enough men to efficiently garrison our planet (unless the idea is that we are overextended and dont have a large fighting force lol).
 
We're definitely going to be needing more men though, which is why I want better agriculture and public healthcare to be developed so that we can pump up population growth.

    • You opt to build up and expand your aeronautics industry, with more advanced engine and vehicle designs both for aero planes and airships. Sleeker and more manueverable these new craft can fly farther, faster and higher than previous models with advanced turboprops and basic jet engine designs being used. This not only can kickstart mass commercial air travel but also allows the domestic production of cargo and passenger aircraft and basic atmospheric fighters and bombers.

    You also hear further rumors and stories of even more Xeno raids and attacks on the frontier, with the Ferusians further complicating the security situation by invading and conquering a small mining world near the border, Shiloh 3,overwhelming the local defenders in a few solar weeks. Worse, the Ferusians, generally consented a brutish and primitive warrior race, seem to be armed with Volantean weaponry and their ships seem to be more advanced and dangerous than they were even a few decades ago.

    You are not sure the Inquisitor is aware but have not received any messages from him for some time, as he has joined the expedition to the halo stars to investigate the strange red light.

    In addition one of his contacts have informed you and the Dark Angels that their official chapter founding has been delayed for the time being, primarily related to burueacratic hold ups.

    In the meantime you have orders to help them and they need recruits.

    There are 2 main sources of recruits that are obvious at this time, Moran Secundus and it's moons or the feral world of Tagus, where the primitive inhabitants make for naturally tough recruits. Moran, despite recent technological advances still has a strong martial culture and tradition, however you may want the top young recruits for yourself, as any they go to the space marines stay with them and will not be able to sire children and continue their line on Moran.

    [] Allow the Space Marines to recruit here(+1 Dark
    Angels)
    [] Tagus should have enough recruits for them
    [] Other(Write-in)

    In addition the mining world of Shiloh 3 is beyond the sector and technically not part of your purview as Marcher Lord, although it would help curtail a threat to the region.

    [] Gather your Allies and assemble a force to retake the planet
    [] stay on alert but keep your forces at home and continue focusing on developing moran

    I'd like to keep them at arms length, just to make Fallen BS less likely.
