Yeah definitely. I had that action in the first draft of this turn's plan and got convinced to swap to Duchy Diplomacy.
As it turns out, an actually functional polity is very impressive once it gets going.
It'd be funny to see the other chapters looking at the Lamenters in their terrifying amount of war gear and going, "yeah nope"
Blood Ravens: "You are impressive allies. Yoink!"

Hmm. Do we have an old map for a comparison?
Looks like the fronts are stable? None of the Duchy, Shipwright's or Mashan are caving in. The Diaconate is advancing, but they're not the problem for right now. The problem for right now is the Gore-sworn duelists because of how much larger they are than the Watchtower Confederacy. They'll overrun them soon enough and be at our doorstep.
Depending on the update I'm probably going to argue for launching a full-scale military action with our new Flag Armada + maybe 8 SBGs & our temple ships straight at the Gore-Sworn Duelists. That should go a long way towards integrating the Confederacy.

In the upcoming turn we definitely need to launch an campaign against the Gore-sworn duelists. Flag Armada + 10 SBGs plus at least a couple of Nomad fleets plus the logistics support units. Plus a bunch of ground forces to liberate the worlds they took in the previous turn.Hmm. Do we have an old map for a comparison?

Yup, that's the plan. Then do Legion's Lament and have another 4 military actions - probably to just build another giant fleet? We need to figure out how many logistics units we need, though that's probably a QM question.
Also I'm confused what's going on with the nomadic fleets -
What's the difference between the ones that are 21/21 and the ones that are 49/50? I think the 21/21 ones just have the old battlecolonies, and the 49/50 ones are almost finished but need the new battleship-sized battlecolony?
So we've got 9 nomadic fleets with GC-size battlecolonies, and 5 that are waiting for battleships? And this action just finishes those upgrades:
Depending on the answers there, I'm thinking we should pretty much repeat last turn's military build action except throw two Hercs into the next Flag Armada, so it's 2 Herc 4 Virgos, then build the accessory SBGs that are ready to either jump on the Duelists next turn or go after one of the other cults.

Ehhh, I want to dedicate at least an action or two to constructing some more titans or upgrading our vehicles and then getting more armies. I personally lean towards a couple more titans (maybe with some designs to incorporate new tech? I will look into it) simply cause we know other titans are going to be a consistent issue.

As silly as this is, I wonder if there's an advantage to bigger scouting vessels. We could definitely spam out a metric fuckton of updated scouting light cruisers, a la Star Trek style.
Probably in the sense that bigger ship = more supplies/facilities for long-term scouting and being away from support, so longer range and more (accurate) information because they have more time to study things before having to return.
Huh, now I'm wondering if we could make science/scouting fleets, a few light cruisers and some freighters for support/docks, then let them go at it. Not sure if it'd be worth it considering our action limit in preparing for the Crusade, but it's still a cool idea.
We could probably achieve the same by just spending an action to upgrade our R&D ISC.
@HeroCooky Any opinions on the above?
A couple of us have been calling for a updated scouting light cruiser. It would be useful for increasing scouting endurance plus would also be useful for epilogue when the Federation will likely finally come in contact with other Star Child followers.

"We will help them." Four words that were not a statement but a declaration of intent. Four words that, in any other circumstance, from any other mouth, would have resulted in those uttering them to be disarmed and taken to the brig for insubordination, yet in this one caused Vice-Admiral Shimmering Petal to look tiredly at the woman that had spoken these four words.
"We have our orders. You have your orders. This is not why we are here." Three sentences that should have, in a saner universe, been the end of the discussion...several minutes ago. In this one, they are but uttered once more to a woman who spoke what the Choirs of SBG Sphinx had already declared would happen.
"And we will gladly stand trial for insubordination. After we have ensured that the five hundred million on that world are evacuated in time. The Duchy's captains are already begging us to provide orbital bombardments for their force's desperate last stand or at least take as many innocents as we can to safety." Nothing in the eyes of the Hymnal spoke she would ever consider not taking the course of action already decided upon. "We will help them."
Shimmering Petal sighed, running a paw over their muzzle. "And what will you do if I try to stop you?"
Brimstone Eyes gazed back. "Five Hundred Million Innocents."
A single sentence that spoke all that needed to be said as Brimstone Eyes stared into Ocular Implants.
Lu is 17.
He had lied when enlisting, too taken with fervor for the people who had given his home stability, order, prosperity, and something to live for, aside from merely living under the Clergiarch's decadent demands. That he had watched them all be hung by the neck from a rope until they died was part of the reason why he had liked the Duchy and why he had joined their forces against the Chaos Disease-Cult to their galactic south once the call came for volunteers seven years after they had first appeared over his world. He set out with high spirits and higher confidence, trained, armed, and clad in and with weapons and armor that seemed the stuff of fiction in his childhood.
Lu is 18.
He had celebrated his lifeday a day before they had made landfall upon the world of Gruschka, home to some 4 billion people...a month ago. Now, there were less than 2 billion. The Disease-Cult had spread a virus to the people that killed many...and used their corpses as a living tide of flesh against the still-living. His work consisted of donning his environmentally sealed armor, checking his heavy flamer, hooking it into his exo-suit, and burning all things that could not talk or could not pass the purity test by his squad's attached psyker. He had a secret crush on her. She was cute, and he liked how she laughed.
Lu is 19.
He has nightmares from when the barriers in Zone 104-CF failed. Twelve million people...gone. Vanished in flames, dropped via bombs that burned it all to cinders, the turned and the still-living alike. 'A Mercy,' his sergeant had said...and he agreed. He had seen enough to know that the bombs the veterans had sown into their helmets were mercy to themselves and others. He had put in two. One for the brain. And one for the flames.
Lu is 20.
He just celebrated his lifeday with perhaps a bit more booze than needed and would wake to find the cute psyker next to him in the morning...alongside the entire squad trying not to grin and whistle...and the Confessor. He would only regret that he could not fully remember the night. That was okay, though. He had more than enough time to make more memories.
Command had declared it safe to evacuate the planet, most Disease-Cults had been destroyed and hunted down, vaccines had been developed and deployed universally, and worlds were found where the people here could settle on without potentially infecting the Duchy proper should a Cultist or carrier slip through the Ruin Finders.
Lu is 20 and a third.
The Automated Fleet is retreating. Heavy losses were inflicted by a surprise attack from the Sect, a trio of Battleships making their appearance, and over two hundred ships have been lost. There is talk about abandoning the evacuation entirely from the civilians, and Lu fears what will happen if the Disease-Cults arrive in force before they can leave.
Lu is 20 and a half.
Thirty Disease-Cult Ships have broken through the cordon, disgorging their rotten inhabitants to the world, turning a pacified world into a hell-hole of war once again. But now, it is against a foe that can think. Foul miasma is in the air, in the water, in his bones and soul. Fij, the cutest psyker in the galaxy, and his (not-so-)secret girlfriend, complains about it daily. She wakes up in the night and pukes. There are maggots in the puke.
Lu is 20 and a half and one day.
He stares at the burning pile that was Fij. Heavy Flamer in hand. One sentence leaving his mouth in murmurs, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. 'She was turning. You had to do it.' He would be commended for preventing a Daemonhost from appearing in the camp. He does not feel anything at all.
Lu is 20 and a two-thirds.
He overhears in the canteen that a fleet from the Glimmering Federation is coming to aid them by "singing some anti-disease Song." Lu does not know what that will accomplish. He only knows there is more to burn with his flamer. Always more. Evermore. 2 billion had become less than 600 million.
Lu is 20 but one day away from 21.
He stares at the horizon, standing atop the trenches, fire reflecting in the goggles of his environmentally sealed suit.
The world is ablaze.
From end to end, fires lick the skies, scorch the ground, dancing upon the air, a wall of pure flames burning it all away.
Burning it all away.
He laughs.
This was the help not promised but the one given. 'Songs of Promethean Fire,' they called it.
He laughs.
It cleanses a world of 500 million to buy enough time for more evacuation fleets to arrive.
He laughs.
And before a sea of fire.

Cracks.
Lu is 21.
And he can only laugh as he purifies the world.

Thanks to an expansion in resources, the Ministry of SIIC can now focus on multiple things simultaneously.
[] [Military] Create Two Grand Armies (Write-in Names) for (Sub-Sectors) or 3 Knight Orders (Write-in Names)
Grand Armies are composed of 2 SAGs per Sub-Sector System, which are composed of 4 Units each. Though each SAG will have its own Battle Standard and Motto, only those existing will be recorded in detail. A Grand Army requires you to specify each SAG as either Light, Medium, or Heavy, with the further moniker of Infantry/Mechanized/Tanks/Augmetic Legions Formations attached.

(Add 50% Progress to another choice when taken.)
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.

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.

Though they are rare, some people seem to not merely be uncomfortable to be around but possess an...anti-soul if one would say something so base.

-[] Arcanum Psyker Staves (0/9)
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.

-[] Arcanum Psychic Hoods (0/9)
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.
(Gain: Improved Psychic Hoods are equipment that shields your Psykers from backlash to varying degrees.)

The Choir's Tangle is a system of Psykana married with Technology capable of providing minor guidance to the Federation's Choirs singing Bound To The Stars, thus speeding up their traveling speed.
(Gain: Improved speed between Federation Systems. It requires a choir to operate and will automatically apply the necessary numbers.)
-[] Discordant Shriek (0/11)
Utilizing the same underlying principles as the Choir's Tangle, the Discordant Shriek is a series of five installations that will be put in a perfect orbit around the local star in predetermined patterns, each housing one part of a Choir, that will, when enemy ships approach the system, activate and try to disrupt and rip the approaching vessels out of the Warp at best and seek to damage and delay them at worst.
(Gain: A means to inflict damage to approaching Fleets. It requires a choir to operate and will automatically apply the necessary numbers.)

[] Choir Warfare Clause
Thanks to the...actions taken by some of our Choirs sent to the Duchy's Sub-Sectors under threat by the Sect of the Feculant Maggot, Duchess Felicia Heraturis Flori Damelle Glori de Montal Barrypsiel von Wyld van Van Zandt has, officially, requested that the Choirs be allowed to "follow their conscience against Ruin, a foe we all face in equal measures and equal terror." This flies in the face of our standing order to not engage in warfare of any kind, but with the door already kicked open and set on fire, there is merit in considering this proposal, especially as she, subtly, insinuated that we may gain samples of Xeno-Tech that the Duchy has collected over the centuries.

(Targets: Mashan Temple Authority, Van Zandt Free Duchy, Watchtower Confederacy, Shipwright's Grove, Black Ash Clan, Black Cat Company, Lords of Eternity.

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 (0.2/1 - 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.

So, I guess our assistance helped blunt the Sect's sneak attack? Making it an actual fight when they were hoping for just striking deep and leaving giant plagues behind everywhere?
So, we saw their fleet in action, and managed to burn their attempted FOB to ashes with Promethean Gaze, did we get any useful data on how they fight?

It worked, our dudes just didn't get there fast enough to halt the deep strike, we just got there fast enough to burn their FOB to ashes and presumably deny them the souls they otherwise would have gotten. A reminder that the defense was winning until the Sect decided to deep strike with three fucking Battleships.

I am sorry buddy. Really.

By all indications, our assistance was clutch, it's just that the Sect was really strong and moving faster than we did. We just prevented them from cascading that initial foothold into likely several subsectors.

We should do these two. Activate the Symphony and declare the emergency. War is here. We will have enough with everything in mind
