[X] Plan: I see green on my subsector map, I don't want to anymore -[X] [General] Construct Something --[X] Civilian Infrastructure V -[X] Construct A Warp Ship --[X] Taurus-class Troopship -[X] [Military] Begin Military Operations --[X] OBJECTIVE: The repulsion of the Orks from Subsector Archwan --[X] METHOD: We have a rare opportunity here to neutralize the Ork foothold within this subsector, thanks to their failed assault on Ubraka. The lynchpin is the Itani System, and its strategic position within the Warp Lanes--with its mobile forces depleted and the first Libra-class Light Cruiser and its strike wings ready and raring to go, we have a chance to seize these hostile systems and push the front line out of the Sub-Sector. An attack on Itani to eliminate its void presence, including the Mega Rokk, followed by an initial ground campaign to seize a beachhead for further reinforcement. Upon the establishment of a secure foothold in Itani, mobile forces should ensure that Gnatila is unable to reinforce or otherwise build up their own infrastructure. The fact the two systems neighbor each other while also being each one step away from friendly territory should allow for effective logistics--though it's more important to maintain sustainable progress than to burn the Orks out in one fell swoop. --[X] Task Fleet Alpha ---[X] WAVE ONE: Cradle Medium Engineering Unit, Cradle Medium Assault Unit,, Droman Tideswarm Heavy Demolition Unit, Celestial Choir, ---[X] WAVE TWO: When the second Taurus is ready and the Ground Campaign begins in earnest, it should be further supplemented by an additional Celestial Choir, a Budget Arms Light Tank Unit, and 2 Corcrat Heavy Mechanized Assault Units ---[X] Obviously, we're also going to request the Lamenters support the campaign in however they feel best able to contribute.

[X] Request Authorized for all worlds but "Looty Place", which shall be fought for. -[X] But just in case anyone is actually still alive down there, on approach, send some signals -- vox and anything our folks can come up with -- to give any survivors a chance to send word to us for an extraction. You have strength enough between your own forces and the Lamenters to run an ad hoc evacuation, especially with Celestial Choir support. It's not likely, but there's always a chance, and we would not deny it
-[X] Request Authorized --[X] Send Vox Messages, and any other tricks our people can come up with while preparations are under way however, to see if we can identify and extract any survivors from the Ork Occupation. It's a long shot, but it's worth risking if we can save anyone still. Star-Child preserve them and their memories for what we must do.

[X] Plan: Constitutions are hard -[X][Civilian Government] Reform Write In --[X] Emergency Response: Establish the position of Diktat. A temporary emergency position that can be activated in times of planetary emergency by a majority vote of the planetary council declaring it to be a Planetary Emergency for applicable situations (massive Chaos cult uprising, invasion, etc) vested with the power to resolve the emergency with whatever means necessary- within the means acceptable by the Candle Keeper doctrine. In essence, a means to eliminate the red tape and get everyone moving. The pool of candidates will be carefully vetted and screened. Including up to and including being screened by the Celestial Choirs to screen out those who would abuse the position. The Diktat can be overwritten or removed before the emergency is over by the vote of the Federation Council, and must step down after the crisis has passed--or relief forces have arrived to take charge of the situation.
-[X] Nation Name: Glimmering Federation
[X][Military Army Re-Organization] Yes, but... -[X] A Grand Army Group is a bit too unwieldy at our current size--and there is a good point that people should remain tied to their home, as a reminder of what we're all working for isn't to be dismissed. That being said, the idea of Army Groups does have merit, cutting them down to 4 compared to the more ambitious 8 before going for external deployment--the size of a single Taurus' troop compliment--with each formation intended to be broadly self-sufficient while also bringing their world's specialization to bear is something we can try experimenting with--we're looking at an era of relatively low conflict after the Luteus Prism Campaign is concluded, we can take this opportunity to wargame it out and see if there are any major barriers--and if there are scaling issues to be concerned with in the future. -[X][Knight House] Yes, Kinda, --[X] Knights are complicated machines, a legacy of old, and require both extensive training and exceptional character. Neither of these are necessarily something you can pluck out from an academy, or decide based on gene-lines. Of course, feudal nobility isn't quite the way to go there either, but a sanctioned Knightly Order, with perhaps major Chapterhouses in critical worlds where they can draw in prospective recruits and base themselves in? That possibility should be explored while we're getting our infrastructure for them set up.

So schools will be founded on our planets where all who wish to one day become Knight pilots start their study. In these schools the aspirants will be tested and the best graduates join the Knight Academy, while the rest are offered other positions based on their aptitude (like local military). The Academy is where aspirant pilots will have the chance to be accepted by a Knight. The Academy and local schools will have postings for Veteran Knight Pilots to aid the selection and raising of new pilots. Culturally a big focus will be put on the Knight pilots interacting and staying part of the general population.
[X][Knight House] No --[X] A knight is a machine like any other, even if it's one whose destructiveness is matched only by the cheer expense of ot's construction. There is no reason to assume that the skills involved in piloting one will translate to the management of the lands they defend, the organization of their logistics or even the training of new recruits. A knight's pilot is important, but they are part of a holistic whole, with mechanics, trainers and supporting forces of equal importance (note importance does not override the actual chain of command).They should be treated and trained as such, specialized military assets, but military assets nonetheless.
[X] The Order of the Blazing Sun
-[X] (Knight Order - Coat of Arms) A Yellow Sun centered on a black background, with a silver candle with a white flame set before the Sun
-[X] (Knight Order - Color Scheme) Black and Yellow/Gold are the primary colorations for Order Knights, with the Order's Coat of Arms painted on the left shoulder plate. Each Knight may (should they so choose) have a sigil representing their Homeworld painted onto the right shoulder plate, and personal Heraldry (should they commit actions deemed worthy of the honor) may be applied to either one thigh-plate or to the crotch plate
-[X] (Knight Order - Motto)
--[X] (Official Motto) Devotion in Study, Veneration of Ability, for the Art of War
--[X] (Unofficial Motto) We go where we are needed. We do what must be done
-[X] (Write-In The Knight Order's Headquarter System) Perfidia
-[X] (Write-In The Knight Order's Legal Situation And Answers To The Above)
--[X] (Will these bastions stand under Federal or Local Jurisdiction?) Chapterhouses and other infrastructure under the direct control of the Order fall under the aegis of Federal institutions.
--[X] (Will the recruits have a legal standing to refuse service?) Yes; ideally the Order should consist entirely of well-trained volunteers.
--[X] (If yes, can they be drafted in times of war and the (highly) unlikely but still possible chance that more pilots are desperately required?) Yes, but only in an emergency that would enable the appointment of a Diktat.
--[X] (Are Outposts allowed to recruit and maintain their own security forces if no Knight is stationed within?) Yes, though these forces may not number more than 1 Security Officer for every 3 other Order staff at any given Order facility, and they are to be used exclusively for protecting whichever facility they are assigned to.
--[X] (Other) At the discretion of the ranking officer of any operations an Order Detachment is apart of, Knights are free to apply appropriate camouflage patterns to their machines in place of standard Order colors for however long is deemed necessary.
[X] The Order of the Stardust Crusaders
-[X] (Knight Order - Coat of Arms) A trio Silver shooting Stars on a Navy Blue background
-[X] (Knight Order - Color Scheme) Blue and Silver/White are the primary colorations for Order Knights, with the Order's Coat of Arms painted on the left shoulder plate. Each Knight may (should they so choose) have a sigil representing their Homeworld painted onto the right shoulder plate, and personal Heraldry (should they commit actions deemed worthy of the honor) on the may be applied to either one thigh-plate or to the crotch plate
