I'd honestly say we should go Sub-Sector while still giving over 10 planets to Mechanicus and then tricking out the rest of the planets to massive resource worlds so that hopefully our sub sector being mostly Mechanicus can get us a special accommodation where we don't talk much to the administration but to the Tech Priests who see us as a saint and setting up a haven just for them.
It would also let our resident tech priests help
Us flex political might and not have as much politics to keep track of as everyone would be plying by the same playbook more or less and would be predictable in how we wooo and make deals with people, unlike governments of civilians and nobles who would have to be brought in bringing with them all their problems

I like your plan. A subsector is a large chunk of real estate and easier to manage than a sector, and a heavy AdMech presence will help industrialize a lot quicker and drive prices down when we trade.

[X] Plan Subsector with Leman Russ Variant
@Lord Necromancer , I have more tech options for THE WHEEL!
Plasma Drive: better reaction drive than current Imperial tech. Faster acceleration, faster max velocity, reduced fuel consumption, smaller components overall, more automated/reduced manpower requirements.
- Naval Plasma Drive (Frigate)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Destroyer)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Light Cruiser)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Cruiser)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Heavy/Grand Cruiser, Battlecruiser)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Battleship)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Dreadnought)
- Naval Plasma Drive (Gloriana)
Photon Drive: Allows any ship equipped to fire an immense stream of photons at a reflective mirror from the launch site, allowing in-system travel with vastly reduced fuel requirements.
- Can be mounted on a planet, moon, or in orbit, beaming the laser to the ship (equipped with detachable reflectors to receive the beam) for temporary benefits (or each system could have some of these built in-system, meaning any ships with detachable reflectors can just keep them on, granting them all the benefits of little to no fuel consumption in any system thus equipped), or can have the beam permanently mounted onboard the ship, firing backwards.
- Doubles as a spinal laser cannon (like, Nova Cannon, but a laser/lance), only facing backwards, allowing for unique tactical options (ie The Kzinti Lesson).
- For ships Dreadnought or Gloriana class only, both Plasma AND Photon Drives can be equipped at once, granting a Spinal Laser Lance facing backwards, but still allowing a spinal forward-facing option as well.
- Naval Photon Drive (Frigate)
- Naval Photon Drive (Destroyer)
- Naval Photon Drive (Light Cruiser)
- Naval Photon Drive (Cruiser)
- Naval Photon Drive (Heavy/Grand Cruiser, Battlecruiser)
- Naval Photon Drive (Battleship)
- Naval Photon Drive (Dreadnought)
- Naval Photon Drive (Gloriana)
Plasma Thrusters: A miniaturized variation of plasma drive tech that can pivot on gimbals in any direction very quickly, fed plasma directly from a secondary plasma reactor dedicated to the task. Provides any ship to maneuver like a ship class one size below (so Glorianas would maneuver more like Dreadnoughts, Dreadnoughts like Battleships, etc).
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Frigate)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Destroyer)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Light Cruiser)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Cruiser)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Heavy/Grand Cruiser, Battlecruiser)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Battleship)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Dreadnought)
- Naval Plasma Thrusters (Gloriana)
Gravitic Drives: Allows ship to maneuver two sizes below their normal ship class, reduced fuel requirements due to no need for propellent/reaction mass (ie reactors only provide pure power). Faster than Plasma Drives, due to less onboard mass due to no propellant needs, meaning less mass to move around. No need for Plasma Thrusters, or if combined with can maneuver 3 ship classes below normal class size. Only available in Cruiser size or greater.
- Naval Gravitic Drive (Cruiser)
- Naval Gravitic Drive (Heavy/Grand Cruiser, Battlecruiser)
- Naval Gravitic Drive (Battleship)
- Naval Gravitic Drive (Dreadnought)
- Naval Gravitic Drive (Gloriana)
Volkite Weapons: Refers to a class of powerful thermal ray weapons. These weapons possessed considerable killing power, surpassing most other armaments of their size. A Volkite Weapon's heat ray had a devastating effect on organic matter, explosively burning flesh into ash and jetting fire. Blasts from Volkite Weapons were even known to be able to penetrate the thick ceramite plates of Astartes power armor with one concentrated shot.
- (Naval) Spinal Volkite Mega-Cannon
- (Naval) Volkite Turrets
- (Vehicle/Fighter) Volkite Cannons
- (Infantry/Power Armor) Volkite Weapons
- Industrial Volkite Applications: Using the thermal rays to heat, mold, and process materials that otherwise can't be manipulated by Imperial tech. Key to Golden Age Adamantium Manufacturing.
Conversion Beamers:
A Conversion Beam weapon fires a beam of antimatter which induces a subatomic implosion in its target, with the beam itself gathering power over distance up to a terminal point of beam instability. By using the energy stored in atomic bonds, a Conversion Beamer can annihilate creatures, vehicles, or nearly anything its beam reaches, provided it is given time to build to critical mass.
- (Naval) Spinal Conversion Beamer Mega-Cannon
- (Naval) Conversion Beamer Turrets
- (Vehicle/Fighter) Conversion Beamer Cannons
- (Infantry/Power Armor) Conversion Beamers
Graviton Weapons: Refers to a group of gravity projector devices. Such weapons are extremely useful when fighting on a starship or zero-gravity environment, but can be used on planets as well. The power of the graviton gun's highest settings is sufficient to rupture organs and smash bones that are encased even in armor, but its primary use is to impede the enemy and damage machinery.
- (Naval) Spinal Graviton Mega-Cannon
- (Naval) Graviton Cannon Turrets: Doubles as tractor beams, essentially.
- (Vehicle/Fighter) Graviton Cannons: Doubles as tractor beams for aerial units, essentially.
- (Infantry/Power Armor) Graviton Cannons
Micro-Atomic Munitions: A type of exotic DAOT ammunition used by Archaeotech Pistols. This classification of pistol can be found firing a variety of projectiles, be they micro-atomic munitions or... (
Archaeotech Pistol - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum)
- (Naval) Micro-Atomic Munitions
- (Vehicle/Fighter) Micro-Atomic Munitions
- (Infantry/Power Armor) Micro-Atomic Munitions
Singularity Warheads: Creates miniaturized black holes that obliterate anything they come into contact with. A non-Warp version of a Vortex Warhead, basically.
- (Naval) Singularity Warheads: Warship missiles only, due to size and power requirements. Extremely expensive to make.
- Chrono-Targeting Systems Suite: Allows a ship's systems to could send there shots back in time so that they are guaranteed to hit every time. Only available for Gloriana-class vessels due to extreme size and power requirements without a Man of Iron AI (available from Battleship sizes on up if a Man of Iron AI is used).
- Advanced Computers (Optical): The lowest tier of Advanced Computers, but can be manufactured basically anywhere with ease. The size of modern-day supercomputers (ie room-sized).
- Advanced Computers (Biological): These can literally grow and increase their capacity, speed, etc over time. Initially the size of modern-day supercomputers (ie room-sized), but can grow larger. Needs biomass to grow. Useful for specialized applications.
- Advanced Computers (Tachyon): Using FTL particles, these can provide instant computation, and further transmit across interstellar distances. Titan-sized complex and power requirements required.
- Men of Stone: Advanced VIs verging on AIs in terms of interactions due to extensive, species-specific behavioral files as reference. Require huge databases of information to back to simulate AI-level interactions, ie Advanced Computers. NOT sentient in the technical sense, but can mimic highly interactive behavior. Without vast databases of information, they can run all of your machines, systems, and such, but the level of flexibility and interactivity sucks.
- Men of Iron (Utility): A variety of interchangeable parts and designs for self-aware utility robots and drone networks. While self-aware, their onboard systems aren't terribly powerful, but they supplement/enhance their capabilities by networking into vast swarms, which increases their intellect and capabilities logarithmically. Optimized for labor, maintenance, and industrial uses.
- Men of Iron (Combat): A variety of interchangeable parts and designs for self-aware combat robots and drone networks. While self-aware, their onboard systems aren't terribly powerful, but they supplement/enhance their capabilities by networking into vast swarms, which increases their intellect and capabilities logarithmically. Optimized for combat, scouting, and extermination.
- Men of Iron (Exploration): A variety of interchangeable parts and designs for self-aware exploration robots and drone networks. While self-aware, their onboard systems aren't terribly powerful, but they supplement/enhance their capabilities by networking into vast swarms, which increases their intellect and capabilities logarithmically. Optimized for exploration, scientific analysis, and colonization purposes.
