Hmm. I consider this A Hint. Should we delay the knights to ask the Star Child what we should prepare for?

Two versions, one asking what we should be worried about re the QM's hint.

Or we could do the original action and ask later.

It seems the leaders of the Federation did not receive my eminently reasonable plan, so the only recourse I have is to repeat my message. Do not be lead astray by fickle believers!

Eh, the lamenters are part of us at this point but fair.
Ah sorry, thought it meant a token or something, didn't know it was the mask.
Oh really? lets see what they've been up to.
Count they did take losses during that even being double strength so it was spread out but mostly focused in the first three companies. I guess the Valen didn't go down easy, even if it was quick.
Oh sweet, new Relic. So we have Chryon's Dreadnaught, the Shield that protects Aegis, and now the Banner of the Eleventh. So mostly featured in a rally to motivate the soldiers of the Eternity take the last fort of the Valen on the contested world which does seem a fitting place for this to happen. Interesting to note and will be used for rallying the troops when the Chapter needs to.
Wait WHAT?! No, Alpha! you were one of Chryon's original four Aspirants and the first of the new Lamenters to be made. Damn, we lost one of the first new Lamenters. And when the FUCK did the Valen get the resources or time to make a damn Proto-Battleship. Still Alpha defended the Bomb they teleported in to make sure it was destroyed. A new hero worth of the title.
Oh shit, so the reason the Banner of the Eleventh is a relic was because Captain Aruglain died right after he rallied the troops and captured the last fort. that indeed would make it fitting both in being a hero of the chapter and making the relic.
Oi, QM I see this two names and recognize the references. Good taste.
Yahhhh, I'm guessing that's why they were short term thinking and that's what they were placing all the resources into in the hopes of just breaking through the stalemate and continue the harvest more and more.... it really is just a self feeding loop with how they manage things. they're short on resources and push out to get more but run through those resources so fast they then need to focus those resources into something that will allow them to break through the Stalemate and take the Eternity's other worlds and pour all of that into the Proto-battleship. LIke how much of the resources from Waterfall went into that thing?
It is insanity looking at it from our perspective and knowing what it takes to build a battleship. because of the sheer AP cost.
Ah so we're getting some lore and reason here for this, so they were born hungry and never able to sate it.... yah that would mess anyone up if it was a constant part of their being every waking second. Its not just a 'not getting enough to eat' thing its just always there throughout their entire lives. Wonder how that happened.
Okayyyyy this sounds like like gene-editing and they were created to be a weapon of some sort or warp fuckery messing with their genes because that shit is not natural at all there. and that need for meat affected them as chicks... so cannibalism was just a thing for them. Yah this did mess them up but at this point its a mercy to end them and they are classified as Ravager since we couldn't do anything to them to stop them from growing evil.
Yah adapting to situations and just how things are, so not surprising they got used to the hunger but still feeling it. So souring the animals that were on the worlds, making fake meat or eating humans so not surpis- Oh. OH.... the first time this Valen ate human meat they're hunger was sated... oh boy that has implications and really shows why they would never get along, they could only see humans as the best meat that stopped hunger for a time.
And with that, she just welcomed death since it would just be a permeant end to hunger. It is tragic but that's 40k for you. messed up this the results in the monsters and not a real way to help or stop it.
WOOOOOOO we can make Paladins, Errants, and Gallants! Oh boy our Knight Orders will be buff after this. and we will be getting a a lot more packs that are worth more SAG's. Force concentration for the win!
Oh sweet, probably want to do that while the iron is hot and its within everyone's minds. and its great that its a Full Alliance here.
Oh right, because the Knight Houses on Brans but we have the Knight Orders instead. fair enough.
Oh wow they are really expanding. So they already are double strength with having 20 companies now, and they're adding four more now? damn, they are gonna have 24 Companies soon.
ehhhhh don't think about it too deeply, its 40k and weirder/dumber stuff has happened. I would say maybe they had it but to a lesser degree earlier in their species' history and it only got this bad for them as they got Spaceborne?
Yup and that was a weird requirement but fitting for the tone of 40k, the meat of Sapient life was what was needed to truly state their hunger for a short time. and given their hunger being a constant presence and feeling, it does now make sense to why they were short term thought processes and why they thought in the short term for everything.
Ohhhhh so that's what happened. Oh well, problem is the Lamenters were in charge and faced with Ravagers there was no reason to investigate them further for this. plus we needed to have Symphonies and we only started doing songs again.... what like ten or so turns? so we couldn't have known, I wonder how that would have been if we did and notice that before we scoured their homeworld with world ending torpedoes. interesting the warp influenced their need for that. So the Meat wasn't the issue and that they needed souls? guessing most of them were nommed by the daemons or warp itself due to having the veil around their homeworld like that.
1. wait really? that's how it works? what about Deathworld SAG's? and damn it, the Imperium was doing something right since damn SAG's spawn in at Elite Level... like holy fuck those are effective and do make it so Deathworlds and Imperial Regiments from those worlds are notable and effective. It really effects us even more due to being Quality over Quantity already. Wonder if we can find more hostile worlds soon in the other sub-sectors.
3. Oh right that stuff, it was also the tech was failing and you told us around... twenty turns ago? maybe more? so yah that'll be fun to deal with.
come onnnnnn it was in the 50's, it wasn't a 54 like that other time the dice was mocking us but still!
And now they see why the Ashan Families logistics staged 400+ rebellions and how much hell its going to be on us for this.
Okay one is just the last hold out of Independent world in the Macabre Sub-sector And I think that Zetranum is in 621 sub-sector? the one that was anarchy and we joint controlled?
Hahahaha, oh boy this is going to be fun.
1. thinking on it now just how was Zetraneum under the joint control for so long? I kinda of assumed it be more then just tribal society by now. and what do we even have there? just orbitals and some outposts or cities?

It would be superfluous to name all the ways in which the Navies of the Ashan Families prove to be aggravating and sub-optimal to the well-ordered structure of the Glimmering Federation's Star Navy.
It would be remiss not to mention that whatever their people were on whenever things needed to be organized was strong enough for the fleets to be that well-organized and supplied.
Yet, these fleets prove a massive inconvenience to the Star Navy, as they represent a titanic mishmash of a dozen classes, each requiring its own supply chains, spare parts, training, maintenance schedules, and understanding to be wielded by the Captains, Commodores, and Admirals of the Star Navy.
In that light, especially given that some of the Ashan Vessels are equipped with utterly unknown technology that far outstrips anything they should have access to, the gathered Admiralcy has proposed simply seeling the vessels to the civilian market—after making sure that they do not carry any dangerous weaponry, of course.
The Federation Army is creaking under its own horizontal weight. While capable of being wielded effectively, it is undeniable that a large portion of it simply does not need to interact with the highest portions of the military directly, and, as much as some are loath to admit it, another layer of bureaucracy is required to wield the forces of the Federation effectively.
The only question is how such a system may look.
From the top.
The Knights of the Federation have served it well, and they have served in their traditional and ancestral War-Pack configurations since the Karnivore STC was recovered from Gnatiila.
Yet, with the Questoris Knights of Brans entering service to the Glimmering Federation, as well as the possibility that new and wholly Glimmerling Pattern Questoris are on the horizon, the question of how they are to be integrated, if at all, into the Knight Orders of the Federation is raised, and then heavily debated.
One side argues for Questoris to be grouped into their own formations.
Another to put one in charge of a War-Pack as their leader, replacing one Armiger.
A third to increase the War-Pack system to 4 Armigers and one Questoris.
The debate continues for months.
