I think we need to switch gears. Use a action to help the Watchtower fort up the frontline with the Khornates and shift the bulk of our fleet that's fighting the Khornates to hit the Nurglites. We need to build up another fleet plus more temple ships to prepare for exterminatus against the Nurglite daemonworld. Even the threat of that should force Nurgle cult to shift forces away from the Duchy front and give the Duchy breathing room.
@HeroCooky The Sub-Sector maps don't seem to have the right number of sub-sector to sub-sector connections and what are there don't look like they follow the larger Sector map.
So this is the motto, coat of arms, and colors of the Blazing Sun and Obsidian Hammer.
Hmmm.
Actually, despite me never playing the game, "Fight For All That Is Beautiful" from HI3rd seems pretty good for a motto, considering the Questoris we saw in those duels was "Thorn of Beauty." But the word "Fight" is already used by Obsidian Hammer, so hmm...
Don't need to worry about Coat of Arms since that's not voted for, I assume that'll be the symbol of the Black Ash. Colors, probably just straight monochrome with appropriate color customization for ranks. Fuck it, might as well have it be flowers. As for the name... honestly, Black Ash is already cool as fuck, but let's stick with it, Ashen Rose. Would've had it be Ashen Demons but Demons have unfun connotations, so Rose it is lol. A bloom with thorns.

[ ][Colors] Black and Ash-gray is primary with monochrome accents, and colors associated with flowers as appropriate for rank / achievement to adorn the machine.
As for ships, hmmm. I'm inclined to upgrade them, but what's the cost in AP / Developmental levels for that @HeroCooky? Like, we already burnt an AP on integrating them with purportedly no issues, so anything more than a single AP is something I'm ill-inclined to do. Especially if we have to refit the army too.
The cop-out is welll...
[ ][Navy] Upgrade anything that doesn't cost a dev level / an AP to do so, and leave the rest as home defense / patrol fleets.

Hmm, reading up on things and looking at the map, our Federation is in a bit of a pickle, yes we can be effective, but all these closing in threats do threaten to split our attention and we are not the most numerically large force in the neighborhood already. Personally i feel like we should keep up aid to the Watchtowers, try to keep Khorne's nonsense at bay while be try to stem the tide of Papa Nurgle's faithful. Which hopfully is already fighting the Khorn cult and the Duchy up north so they don't have a full tide of bodies to throw in our direction.

I wonder if anything will happen if we get all of Star Child's Melodies?
Problem is the Duchy just lost basically 3 subsectors to the Nurgle cult- sure they likely evacuated as much as they could, but the Cult basically took over like 5 different subsectors in the last couple of turns (2 independent and 3ish Duchy).
We need to slow down the Nurgle cult and help the Duchy hold the line.
I think a action to help the Watchtower confed fortify the hell out of the frontline with the Khorne cult and then throwing our Khornate front fleet at the Nurgle cult is the play- we need to slow down the Nurgle cult so that the Duchy has time to build up our new lanceboat designs that can help counter the Nurgle cult tactics.
Well, we did nab Love, so we did get all of the Star Child's Melodies. We'll see if we get anything if we get all of them to III, but I doubt it.
Being coldly practical at least in my view, we should try to knock out the Khornates because they're the smallest and we're now in a 3 front war since we now share a border with the Nurglites. We can fuck their trump card up with Cease now, and they also don't have a Daemon World capital. Yes, they're quite strong as a culture, but it's a lot more achievable, and then hopefully by then we should be able to absorb with the Watchtowers since they're not exactly mergable right now according to QM because of the apocalyptic war.
The Van Zandt's have lost ground, but being honest while we're having good relations with them and we should continue to maintain them, they're the ones that can also to some degree trade space for time, with them having 60+ systems. Start with the small problems and work up, IMO. Obviously support the Duchy more if we have time, but even with the bloody nose we got last time, we still managed to roll over the Khornates in two sub-sectors. Their capital is going to be a bitch and a half to take, but it's still "just" two sub-systems away.
Hopefully this isn't all of the results of this turn, but if it is, it is what it is, I guess. But yeah, I think that beating the Khornates is the most achievable path to victory as is currently.

Anyways, vote's open. I'm pretty supremely unconfident in the Navy choice, so if anyone has better ideas pease speak up.

It'll take 2 AP to retrofit all ships to your standards.
How many fleet equivalents will we get by doing that?
Would that be under Military or some other sort of action?

Ask me once I am back from work. More than one, less than seven.
Military.
Gotcha, sounds good. Ought to benefit from the 50%, which is pretty important. I guess next turn we'll turn off the symphony, wrap up the Integration, and try to get this done. So long as the refits are actually more action efficient than just making the fleets directly then all's well's end's well. I'll edit my vote appropriately.

Honestly, with the Star Navy primacy active I think 2 AP is well worth it to get up to (maybe) 7 additional fleets we can throw at the Chaos Cults.
Hm. @HeroCooky can we have a write in action that specifically makes more Temple ships and refits the Pentagruel?
I want to make 4 more of The Last Word temple ships to have 5 in total of that class. Because that might improve our chance of telling daemonworlds to fuck off.

Also, we should probably use the Black Ash forces as a reserve, or a deterrent to the Nurgle bunch.
Here's hoping the fact the front lines haven't moved apparently doesn't mean that everything is stalemated, including the Khorne front despite being a lot smaller, and that we just haven't resolved that fight yet.

Honestly, I'd Prefer Ash-Gray and Red for the Order of the Ashen Rose, just seems right and making it Black and Ash-Grey is just too dark with not much color to stand out.
