[X] Mechanicus Cruiser.
[X] Build them a powerful full-on fortress(-2 Dev choices next turn).
[X] Send them settlers and an infantry regiment. ( Krieg infantry for preference. )
[X] Said this is a cover for future colony and population (This of course, being a lie to cover the existence of the fortress monastery)

Turn 114
You decide to support the Dark Angels to the maximum extent they requested, sending 20,000 settlers along with a regiment of Krieg infantry to Tagus IV, along with 2 full companies of combat engineers along with blasting charges and construction equipment to build them a proper Fortress base, and establish a mountain town, where the chapter can draw serfs from in the future and to provide them with some wealth and economic development.
The Krieg Infantry, will serve them as combat-serfs, operating artillery guns, heavy weapons turrets and providing tactical support as light infantry for their new Space Marine masters.
You opt to repair the Mechanicus cruiser first, while it can serve as a generic heavy cruiser, its unique design(even if its originally from the Dark Mechanicus) is built around Explorator missions and long-range expeditions for the Tech-Priests in their eternal quest for knowledge and lost technology. While it was gutted, its design is built to accomodate a mini-manufactorum, allowing it to serve as small factory in space. While that would not necessarily serve your forces that well, you could have a repair shop installed, as well as a small tech-forge, allowing you to recover damaged and destroyed vehicles and equipment, salvaging them or repairing them on campaign, as well helping you keep your vehicle fleet and high-end gear in top shape while on campaign. In addition during peacetime, it could provide a small trickle of special equipment from its techforge.
[] Install a repair shop and small-tech forge on the Mechanicus Cruise(-1 Dev choice next turn)(Leaving you with 0)
[] Repair it and put it into service as a generic heavy cruiser
In addition 4 regiments of Krieg vat-born troops have come of age and are wrapping up military training, they are expected to join the order of battle in a few months, deploying to the outpost system in the realm for garrison duty, where they will be conducting additional training while in garrison.
What do you want to use the newly open Vitae-Womb slots for
[] 1-2 Regiments of Geno-warriors(Requires learning roll)
[] 4 Regiments of Kriegsmen
Finally the Inquisition expedition into the webway, presumed lost after no contact for almost a year has returned to your defenses in the webway, apparently with the differences in the passage of time, they believe they have only been gone for a few days....
They have dropped navigation transponders and believe they have found a webway portal to an unknown destination near the Moran gateways....
(I would like to open up an additional write-in option for long-term planning as well as naming the Dark Angels new chapter)

This should help if we have to go help protect other worlds in the sector. Tho loosing all the Dev points hurts.

Just to see how good they are.

[X] Combine our warp capable ships into a single fleet, fill the ships with as many fighters/bombers as possible.
-[X] Create a army group recruiting from all our current forces and train them in boarding/counter boarding/planetary landings ect. and have them link up with our small fleet in preparation for the coming invasion as a quick response force.
-[X] Have all our forces not part of the fleet train for a possible invasion, incl militia/arbites and any other semi independent forces in our system.
-[X] Begin stockpiling of food/water/guns/ammo ect.
-[X] Clear out any bandits/gangs and groups that would take advantage during a possible siege and turn them into servitors to help with invasion prep.
-[X] Umbral Knights
Something like this maybe?

We don't really have enough ships to make a warp capable fleet at this point but I have nothing against it beyond that.
Training further void regiments for boarding and drop regiments for rapid deployment and shock assaults though would definitely be good.
Might be worth trying to set up specific training schools for them in the long term to allow for a steady supply of reinforcements to damaged units and fresh regiments as we expand, drop troopers especially make a great counter balance to our Krieg infantry.
We seriously need to get proper artillery into production though, what kind of self respecting guard force doesn't have artillery?

-[X] Umbral Slayer.
Our pre heresy dark angels come from rangandian wars, probably the second biggest war on the crusade only after Ullanor, I think I can imagine this guys being fierce anti Xenos really. hence slayer title

Turn 115
You decide to install a repair shop and small tech-forge on the Mechanicus cruiser, losing your last dev slot for next turn.
You also attempt to create more Geno-warriors, with your first geno regiment only 7 years old and undergoing basic training and psycho indoctrination, based on Krieg practices as well as the practices described to you by the 30k Geno warriors for their upbringing.
I also realize I forgot your previous tech-mining roll so we'll do two of those as well as the geno warrior roll
Both roll types benefit from +2 bonus and follow similar rules.
While we had a crit-fail I will be nice and process the second roll first for the tech-mining
Strong success followed by crit-fail
The tech-mining operation finds a massive trove of ancient tech, which the Mechanicus quickly secures and ships off-world. However per our contract they have to pay us for what they find.
What form would you like payment in?
[] Industrial support(write-in industry)
[] Escort class ship(write-in type)
[] Other(Write-in)
Unfortunately in the following days, there is a major tunnel collapse, killing dozens of workers, along with a few tech-priests as well as majorly damaging some equipment, and it will take another turn before they can mine again.
The Geno-warrior spawn goes ok, but not great, with roughly half the two regiments worth of Genos surviving their first few months without mutation or major health issues.

I'm going to move forward with Umbral Knights. You guys also have a lot of influence on their development, as they are effectively vassals at this point. I will
Write up a tab for them. You guys can fluff them out how you want, we won't be doing into as close detail as a chapter master quest though.
What would who look like?
Accepted
I have an excel workbook I am pasting into SV from time to time under informational tabs as the quest moves along. I might transfer it to a public google doc for you guys and post a link
