To the best of your knowledge, any navigator in good standing with the Imperium left when it did. To reach somewhere, you are forced to either have your Librarians to perform piloted jumps or make multiple calculated jumps.
what about the ones with less than ideal standing ?
You aren't sure.
So we can't make any really long ranged transits outside of the navigators who choose to stay with the chapter and what's left of the battlefleet.
You can use your Librarians since Space Marine Librarians are able to ape the roles of Navigators and Astropaths.
They can and also are generally better at it than a bog standard astropath given their mental fortitude. However when it comes to the navigator role they aren't as effective as a navigator with their third eye in the warp.
Unless you have a better idea, that's all we're gonna be stuck with so we better get ready to start using more Librarians than we're used to
True, but they are good enough for getting about a single sector.
Short of trying to persuade our navigators and those of the Battlefleet form their own house? No not really and any of the less reputable houses I wouldn't trust worth a damn their is a reason why they have their dark rep.
Can just seize navigators from other ships when we start to raid the Imperium
To confirm, did the Chapter Fleet not have any navigators?
We kinda have too. Otherwise any ship not carrying our librarian will be crippled on strategic level.
It did, but the Storm Avengers choose to avoid picking a fight with the Imperium by letting them leave peacefully. Since then, you have been using Librarians in their place.
That's even if we do that since raiding the Imperium is a good way to jump up on their priority list instead of keeping to ourselves.
Wait so how did the battlefleet odin and asgardia move their ships? Bog standard Astropaths don't have the mental fortitude to navigate the warp.
Multiple calculated jumps like most civilian traffic. Navigators aren't required for warp travel, just the speedy long distance piloted jumps.
So more insanely dangerous then rather than out right death then given they are only making short jaunts into the warp. Assuming the currents don't change that is and ships get swept off course since with no navigator or librarian onboard they will get lost otherwise.
No, they are making the short warp jumps done by calculations in realspace that are impractical for interstellar travel and are too short to be swept off-course because the ship exits the warp before the currents begin to change. I'm not sure how to say this, but can you please educate yourself about what is being discussed before making blatantly wrong statements?
Fair played a game of RT were GM went high intensity so was going off my memories of that didn't mean to cause offence.
Fair enough.
Leagues of Votann don't exist in this quest. The closest thing is going to be abhumans known as Squats and I doubt they will be prominent at all.
