As @Weaving_Dreamer pointed out, we should probably consider doing this either this turn or at minimum the next turn considering the greatest impact of the vaccine will likely be felt in the first decade after the refugees arrive.
@Alectai and @Neablis, as the key architects of the current plan, is there a way we could do this action in this or the next turn? As much as I'm loath to push Necron tech research, Observatory construction, development or Titan building back any further, this seems like it could either be most important right now or something that could bite us in the rear unexpectedly (eg Nurgle's forces using the prevalence of the common cold as a vector of surprise attack, whether as an opening for worse diseases, mutating the common cold, or some other profane ritual/purpose).
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😭We were so close to having those naturally gifted (or cursed) with eyes to see within the Warp once more, to save at least the children who had yet done no harm and dissents who sought to make right their wrongs. Not to mention it would have been so helpful to have an alternative to the choir bottleneck for Warp-capable ships (although ideally, you'd have both for some measure of redundancy and improved efficiency). Alas, the cruelties of war and likely the madness of their leaders who decided many of their fates for them, whether as sacrificial pawns or in pure defiant spite, condemned those few who might have taken our hand in redemption.
I guess no genetic material has survived sufficiently intact to recreate them... or that which remains is within the preview of the Ascendency who don't seem to be in the mindset to either share or motive to use such remnants (assuming any exist).
Maybe we can eventually recruit some Navigators from the Duchy if we manage to get on good enough terms.
Also, this is a minor thing @HeroCooky, but I just thought I should check - 1) should the Ashan Families be moved into defunct nations?
2) I might have missed something in the updated dossier, but just to check were we able to get any clarification on what [Error 404 - Text Not Found] is or might be, or is this a fruitless dead end to keep pursuing unless and until it happens?
The current plan is to, when the warp tremors drop below "high," turn on The Grand Design and grab all-X, then get take Bounty of Labor to get >25 actions and clear our current tech options, Tau style. So our plan is within the next ~3ish turns to get not just this but every other tech on the tech tree, and get the upgraded versions of them. So in fact any techs we get now are weaker than if we wait. We're getting the necron tech to unlock the next layer of necron techs for the GRAND LABOR.
This is part of why we're sleeping on the caskets too. Might as well get the soothing version.
You can't clone navigators. That's Dark Age of Technology genetic DRM. Only way to get them is natural breeding.
ehhhhh wiggles hand I guess we should ask to make sure but I think the Bounty of Actions would come into play the actual turn update, we choose bounty of labor during the reward part and then we go to the Update where we see the regular the stuff for the updates and then turn on Grand Design. That said I do want to complete the Necron guns to open up the path for the next branch of Necron Tech so we can speedrush it on Bounty of Labor turn.

Use the Write-In feature for that.
"Love" was a one-off thing.
You gained 16 this Turn.
1.
2. No, that was already the default. They are growing less "hate the witch!" like, and more "pity the witch," which will lead to your stance of "they are doing valuable work, so give them to those who can train them and pray for their souls."
3. Both died happy. One surrounded by friends and family, the other after a night of debauchery with her harem.
4. Yes. Yes they can do that.
5. Nope, just people living in less-than-good environments.
1. No, only as long as it is sung.
2. Yeah, it will always sing at the next possible level, up to beyond the normal cap.
3. You have three left to go.
I would count that as "Math Fuckery," so yes.
1. "Oh, neat." "Bitch, what, in all that is holy, the FUCK?!"
2. "As long as you don't want territory, and only spoils, sure." "By the Empress' Holy Tits!"
3. They are what you described them as, and they have a diplomacy stance of "please leave us alone, thank you and goodbye."
this is missing the design a grand cruiser option, it was 16 points when i asked a while back.
I am not sure if it needs the max size upgrades as Large Repair Bay fits in the light cruiser fleet tender of our kin(that we could add to our fleets).

It would fit. Also, Grand Cruiser Design Cost added.
@HeroCooky, can you tell me where I'm missing Choirs? Cause I can't see where I'm missing them.

You use 3 Choirs per Turn on your Pyxis Scouts.
No? Look I accounted for them.
250.M43 - Black Ash Ascendancy:
(57x Pyxis-Secundus Advanced Scout Sloop
Ship Psytech Equipment (1 Choir Per Module unless otherwise stated): 57x Choirs (Scouts) - Changed (+3 Scouts)
You know, I think when we go for designing the Grand Cruiser we should design two Light Cruisers as well plus a Destroyer.
I'd like to design a upgraded version of the old Yeeni scout cruiser- that ship deserves to have successors. Especially since our scout ships range out so far now.
And for the other light cruiser, I want a stealth version of the Andromeda to use for our Independent Operations Task Force plus a stealth mine laying destroyer.

We don't really need a stealth Andromeda, the Andromeda's purpose is to be a FTL booster for a fleet. We only have lone operative stealth ships and while it would be nice to make the Andromeda's hard to spot, their orders are to run away to the edge of a system when in battle. It isn't really needed.

I found the mistake, a typo on the 161 Hiss, it should have been 164 Choirs. Fixed.
Right. But that still brings my +11 up to a +14. Not the +16 that you stated. We're still missing 2 Choirs.

No? 240.M43 has 218 Free Choirs, 250.M43 has 234 Free Choirs. 234-218=16.

This whole accounting argument brings me back to Embers in the Dusk quest, where psykers were being kidnapped by some Tzeentchian demon.
So we are missing 2 Choirs right now. Pray to Star Child we don't lose 9 total, or B̸̬̋̐Ạ̴̡̯̯̳̞͇̺̬̞̲͚̓̃̊͑̔̾̓͠D̷̪͊̔̀̈́̾̓ things will happen!

260.M43 - Shipwright's Grove

Unverified Monstergirl
Shipwright's Grove
Government Type: Unitary Meritocratic Council Democracy
Culture Type: Ecological Void Unity
Attitude: Expanionistic Terraformers
Specie/s: Human (Primus Inter Pares) and Irrita (Secundus Inter Pares)
1) Basic Economics
1.a) Trade
The Shipwright's Grove contains an estimated ~15k Warp-Capable vessels, the majority of which (~57%) are the Living Ships of Irritan [Child]-Of-The-Voids plying the trade routes of their expanded domains. It should be noted that every Living Ship is a wholly unique vessel, an effect of the species shipbuilding approach, which is entirely artisanal in nature. Not only are their Warp Drives and Gellar Field Generators not manufactured but individually grown, augmented, and combined into self-sustaining bio-mechanical creations that interface with the hulls they are placed within. It should be noted here that an Irrita is not only capable of, but expected, to create their own Warp Drive and Gellar Field Generator with nothing but some advice, second-hand parts, and the drive to make their own in case they lack parts they require should they desire to become a Son-of-the-Void.
Their primary imports/exports consist of bulk goods such as people, ores, manufactured base goods (construction materials, armor plating, and tools ranked highest), and medicine. They maintain several trade stations with us, alongside dozens of treaties managing commerce, and joined anti-piracy patrols.
They operate an estimated ~1.500 military vessels, most of which are on dispersed defensive duty to bolster local SDF efforts to combat a constant Low-Level Pirate Threat from within the various Oort Clouds of their claimed and held systems and a High-Level Pirate Threat from the Corsair's Haven Sector Cluster.
1.b) Shipbuilding
The Shipwright's Grove maintains a Scout Fleet of around ~100 vessels.
Their total ship production capabilities outstrip those of the Glimmering Federation by a factor of 2.5x due to their cultural and societal mindset, which enforces the continual expansion of habitation stations, asteroid settlements, and the subsequent needed intra-stellar infrastructure. Most of their shipyards are privately owned, with the rest distributed between dedicated military shipyards and corporate holdings. It should be noted here that the Grove enforces a clause within any new yard construction that sets aside 10% of the yard's total output for use by the Grove Navy, which can be called upon in the form of maintenance, re-fitting, or the construction of new ships.
Their Destroyers are between 1.5km and 1.8km, Frigates between 2km and 2.4km, Light Cruisers between 4.6km and 4.8km, Heavy Cruisers between 5.5km and 6km, and their Grand Cruisers range between 7.2km and 7.8km. Living Ship sizes range from ~180m to ~15km.
Their armaments are focused on a mix of Macro-Cannons, Lances, and some torpedos sprinkled in, with their Destroyers primarily outfitted with the latter. At the same time, their Frigates are armed with only Lances. Their Grand Cruisers primarily use Rotary or Plasma Macro-Cannons, with the Grove's Heavy Revolving Prow Lance a standard armament.
They are currently undergoing the effort to construct a Battleship called 'The Old Forest' in their Core Worlds. It will be around ~17km long once finished.
2) Socio-Economics
The Irrita and Humans have fused the first self-professed "Federal Anarchy" (composed of their will to grow harmoniously as independent individuals and bring new blooms to the galaxy, though they have some positions of respect, typically translated as "Song-of-[Subject]" by Federation and Shipwright linguists due to the words and concepts used being too complex to be described outside of an academic paper) and the latter's more traditional government.
The Irrita regard Humans with a note of self-professed joy as they "enjoy the sight of [our] linear bioluminescence." It is unclear what this means.
The Grove's political hierarchy is based on elected merit. You cannot become a shipyard leader if you do not put in the hours in that same yard working alongside everyone else. You cannot rise to become a Minister of Medicine if you have never had the displeasure of assisting in an outbreak of cholera within a station whose sanitation systems have broken down. There is no captain amongst their people that their crews do not trust implicitly with their lives. This system is reinforced by top-down propaganda efforts to ensure that hard work is not only rewarded but seen to be rewarded by all people they can reach. The downside of such a system is that their upper leadership generally tends to be on the older side, with changes in Ministers happening roughly every ~10/40 years due to either death by old age or retirement, depending on if they are Human or Irrita.
Their education system is not comparable to any polity encountered, as the Irrita seem to have a pre-installed genetic memory of specific topics. They also heavily use implants and cybernetic augments to download and unpack information and lessons within days instead of years. However, a six-year schooling period (starting at age 6 (for Humans) is mandated, focusing on math, reading, law, first aid, quick repairs, and emergency drills.
Do not ask a Song-of-Growth about their work. They will literally not tire of talking, as they lack the biological components to do so. You have been warned. The most popular sport within the Alliance is Void Racing, where pilots of unique strike craft-derivative race a prepared track of asteroids, caverns, and old useless hulks against each other. Deaths are supposedly relatively uncommon despite the sport's dangerous and highly lethal nature once an accident occurs.
Law enforcement is more low-level, organized by, and consisting of community-appointed and rotating enforcers keeping the peace with a higher organization called in to investigate High Order Crimes like murder, abductions, and smuggling of illegal substances.
3) Corruption
No visible/noticeable Chaos Corruption exists. Mundane Corruption exists below acceptable levels.
4) Propaganda
Most of their propaganda is focused on supporting their political systems and generating buy-in from their population.

With skill and patience, the Celestial Choir has figured out how to observe the tremors in the Warp that result from singing a Symphony, hoping to find a way to indicate when it would be safe again to let our Cry loose. Yet, with the recent, and worryingly increasing, tremors reverberating through the Warp, more than casual observation is required. A station shall be built in Holy Irridanus where thirty Choirs shall work around the clock to observe and study the ripples in the Warp, both to better sing Symphonies and to divine any problems that Chaos may throw at us.

The downside of such a system is that their upper leadership generally tends to be on the older side, with changes in Ministers happening roughly every ~10/40 years due to either death by old age or retirement, depending on if they are Human or Irrita.
Their education system is not comparable to any polity encountered, as the Irrita seem to have a pre-installed genetic memory of specific topics. They also heavily use implants and cybernetic augments to download and unpack information and lessons within days instead of years. However, a six-year schooling period (starting at age 6 (for Humans) is mandated, focusing on math, reading, law, first aid, quick repairs, and emergency drills.
Do not ask a Song-of-Growth about their work. They will literally not tire of talking, as they lack the biological components to do so. You have been warned. The most popular sport within the Alliance is Void Racing, where pilots of unique strike craft-derivative race a prepared track of asteroids, caverns, and old useless hulks against each other. Deaths are supposedly relatively uncommon despite the sport's dangerous and highly lethal nature once an accident occurs.
Law enforcement is more low-level, organized by, and consisting of community-appointed and rotating enforcers keeping the peace with a higher organization called in to investigate High Order Crimes like murder, abductions, and smuggling of illegal substances.
3) Corruption
No visible/noticeable Chaos Corruption exists. Mundane Corruption exists below acceptable levels.
4) Propaganda
Most of their propaganda is focused on supporting their political systems and generating buy-in from their population.

-[] Newly Improved Psyker Staves (2/5)
The ability to create psychic focii is no longer a mere beginner's art within the Glimmering Federation, and with knowledge and familiarity comes the ability to strive further than yesterday. With The Sun Melody having become a measuring stick upon which one can see progress, it is estimated that further refinement will be capable of reducing the damages incurred into "mere" full-body third-degree burns.
(Gain: Improves Choir efficiency and might when using Songs and Melodies.)
-[] Newly Improved Psychic Hoods (0/5)
Thanks to the work done in figuring out how to psychically tune and shape cloth and metals to weave together into one whole, a "Psychic Hood" for the layperson, the Celestial Choir is eager to not only begin large-scale dissemination of knowledge and practice but also delve deeper into their understanding of how they function and can be improved.

From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.

[] [Psykana] Conduct Six Melodies (0.8/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.
(Total: 19
Uncovered: Revenant and Prophecy II.
Secret: Slumber.
Star Child: Compassion II, Mercy III, Health II, Innovation II, Justice II, Wisdom II, Death II, Ruthlessness III, Brutality II, and Love.
Kil'drabi: Paths II, The Void III, Community II, and Family II.
Irrita: Growth II, Plants, Harmony, and Hunger.
Gain: Six Melodies newly Conducted.)
[] [Psykana] Sing two Songs (Choose at least Three below.) - (0.8/1 - Auto Complete) - [N/A]
Mere Melodies are not the end of the journey, nor should they be the start. They are the middle, from which all things shall grow and wither.
(Uncovered: Technology III and Prophecy I.
Secret: Perception III, Silence III, and Grounding III.
Star Child: Protection III, Fire III, The Sun V, Humanity III, Creativity III, Song III, The Home III, Logic III, Unity III, Progress III, Compassion I, Hope III, Health I, Death I, Justice I, Wisdom I, Innovation I, Machinery III, Ruthlessness II, Brutality I, Mercy II, and The Star.
Kil'drabi: Void II, Struggle III, Paths I, Community I, and Family I.
Irrita: Growth I.
Gain: Two Songs.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Symphony (Choose Five Songs)
Words beyond meaning, songs beyond uttering, a hum of power that is the Warp reveling in its own power unleashed. A Symphony crafted from labor centuries long, and one that shall burn itself into history eternal, both mortal and Immaterial.
(Gain: A Symphony)
[] [Psykana] Warp Observatory (0/3)
Though our Symphonies are powerful, they extract a cost by turning the Warp tumultuous. Enough so that the enigmatic Eldar threatened war if we did not cease casting our Cry For The Future into the same for the benefit of our people. With skill and patience, the Celestial Choir has figured out how to observe the tremors in the Warp that result from singing a Symphony, hoping to find a way to indicate when it would be safe again to let our Cry loose. Yet, with the recent, and worryingly increasing, tremors reverberating through the Warp, more than casual observation is required. A station shall be built in Holy Irridanus where thirty Choirs shall work around the clock to observe and study the ripples in the Warp, both to better sing Symphonies and to divine any problems that Chaos may throw at us.
(Cost: 30 Choirs.
Gain: Warp Tremor Indicator Gauge.)
[] [Faith] An Unborn Guide Sought Out (Write-In)
