That would have the same effect as singing the Melodies separately. It'll also place a giant "HEFE BE SOULS" beacon onto the ship while in transit.

    • [X] Plan: Ordo Abyssal, or The Abyssal Order
      -[X] We shall construct a large space station in close orbit around the Black Hole Abyssal Eye, just beyond the hazard zone of the accretion disk. It shall be built to the highest standard, with abundant luxuries, Federation-leading workshops, child-rearing and education facilities, as well as biological enhancement and rejuvenat capabilities. Not to mention triple-redundant backups to all vital systems and excellent defenses. This shall be the home of the Abyssal Order, and shall be named simply "Abyss Station" or "The Abyss."
      -[X] The Abyssal Order will be founded at Abyss Station, and shall consist of Blanks from across the Federation found during the same testing that finds Psykers. They will be mandated to join as soon as they are discovered. Every effort will be made to convince them this is the best option, to be amongst those who will not react with discomfort when in their presence, to receive the highest level of education, medical care and biological and cybernetic enhancement. However, ultimately they do not have a choice in the matter. Discovered Blanks must join the Ordo Abyssal, for their own good and the good of the federation, much the same as psykers must be trained when they are discovered.
      -[X] The Ordo Abyssal will seek to train their members to a high base level of competency in nearly every subject, including combat, negotiation, interrogation, medicae, piloting, tactics, strategy, the military equipment of the federation, as well as general scholarly works including alien studies, linguistics, demonology and did I say combat? Combat is heavily emphasized as the most important skill for the members of the Ordo Abyssal to learn, and regular competitions and tournaments will take place to emphasize the importance of martial skill, often coming with rewards of status and personal training.
      -[X] To this end the Ordo Abyssal will have access to the best trainers from across the Federation, though it is recognized that such trainers will likely only serve a short stint on the station due to the discomfort from so many blanks in close proximity. However, as the Ordo Abyssal gains skilled members they will be encouraged to return and teach the next generations, as well as accept additional training themselves. For a member of the Abyssal Ordo is never complete with their learning, and with easy access to juvenat they are expected to become masters of many fields and assets to the Federation over their long, long lifespans.
      -[X] The Ordo Abyssal will be led by "The Abyssal Council," a group of eight elected by ranked-choice voting that occurs every fifty years. Only those members who have over a century of active combat-adjacent service are eligible to both stand for election and vote in said elections. The candite who overall wins the election gains the title "Master of the Abyss," has two votes on the council, as well as default disciplinary and command power that requires a 5/8 majority from the rest of the council to overturn.
      -[X] The members of the Ordo Abyssal have a duty to the Federation in turn, and they must serve the broader Federation, utilizing their training and abilities to counter psykers, demons and other warp-magic as they see fit. Ultimately it is up to them what form this service will take, but they are strongly encouraged to serve tours of duty with the Order of Cerberus, the Lamenters, the Knights, the Navy or the Armies of the Federation, negotiating with the command structure of such an organization for their placement and chain of command. However, a trained Blank of the Ordo Abyssal is never lower in military rank than a Major, and they have that status in every organization they interact with, including local police forces, system-defense forces, armies, knights, etc. It is expected that individual Blanks will form lasting relationships with particular organizations and train further blanks to follow in their footsteps, relying on their contacts to place their students among the external organizations once they are sufficiently trained. The relationship with the Order of Cerberus is expected to be especially strong.
      -[X] It is valid for a blank to serve in other non-combat organizations, including on the Abyssal Station itself as a trainer, or among the research divisions, or even to aid in Choir training. However, such service does not count towards the "active service" required for voting or serving on the leadership council of the Ordo Abyssal. Additionally, the childcare and education aboard the Abyssal Ordo is intentionally designed to imbue young children with duty, patriotism and pride that will lead them towards seeking combat assignments.
      -[X] The Ordo Abyssal's secret duty is to hunt demons wherever they are found, and discover methods to kill them permanently. This mandate is known to the Order of Cerberus and the Celestial Choirs, who are tasked to aid the Ordo Abyssal in their search for methods to true-kill Demons and otherwise frustrate those who use the powers of the warp against the Federation.

    • 530.M43 - Has Been Rebuilt
  • Threadmarks
    • The following decriptions have been written by the wonderful @Alectai and @Genderite and cleaned up by me to make the quest compliant.​


    Aries-Quintus (Aries-V) Corvette
    -Length - 1.600m
    -Width - 400m
    -Acceleration - 10 Gravities
    -Armor - Medium Double Hull
    -Shields - One Array
    -Weapons - 3x Sawblade Gunnery Turrets
    -Equipment - Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Ship Shrines/Lattice Hulls/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Augmetic Security Departments/Expanded Snapshot Targeting Solutions/(HE/AP/CM) Macro-Cannon Shells/After-Burner Macro Shells
    The new generation of the ancient Aries lineage, the Aries-Quintus, loses a slight degree of range for a tripling of its already impressive rate of fire, as well as the integration of extensive internal security systems, as while its agility can only be compared to the light craft of the Eldari peoples, the possibility still exists of something getting lucky and getting on board. That possibility has now been made considerably less likely to be effective, courtesy of the augmented security forces aboard each vessel.

    Lupus-Quartus (Lupus-Q) Torpedo Destroyer
    -Length - 1.600m
    -Width - 400m
    -Acceleration - 10 Gravities
    -Armor - Medium Double Hull
    -Shields - One Array
    -Weapons - 4x 'Duskborn Seekers' Torpedo Tubes/'Glittering Tear' Light Missile Batteries/1x Medium Burner-Seeker Minelayer
    -Equipment - Autoloaders/Missile Swarms/Armored Lifepods/Advanced Alloying/(Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Harsh Crew Training/Emergency Maneuver Engines/Refractive Hull Coating/Stealth Engine Dampeners
    The new generation of the Lupus-Class, making use of inspired creation to allow for torpedo runs at odd angles courtesy of their state-of-the-art munitions, and cunning disengagements courtesy of their sensor-baffling missiles coupled with the minelayer functionality, making a terrifying ambush predator that is even more deadly on the retreat than they ever were on the attack.

    Pyxis-Tertium (Pyxis-T) Scout Sloop
    -Length - 1.200m
    -Width - 250m
    -Acceleration - 10 Gravities
    -Armor - Single Hull
    -Shields - One Array
    -Weapons - 2x 'Glittering Tear' Light Missile Batteries
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Spacious Crew Quarters/On-Board Supply Generation/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Veteran Crews/Tiny On-Board Manufactory/August Sensorium/The Celestial Orrery/Phantom Spirit
    The next evolution of the Federation's Pyxis-Class Scout Sloop, the consolidation and enhancement of its stealth systems make it nigh invisible, and in the unlikely event it ends up detected anyway, its 'Glittering Tear' Missiles can allow it to disengage with ease, especially given its tremendous acceleration ability and the skill of its crews. Additionally, even greater sensors have been implemented into the design, allowing it superior local detection ability compared to its predecessor.

    Serpens-Secundus (Serpens-S) Stealth Destroyer
    -Length - 1.600m
    -Width - 400m
    -Acceleration - 10 Gravities
    -Armor - Medium Double Hull
    -Shields - One Array
    -Weapons - 1x Light Contagion Bomb/2x 'Rotfang' Pattern Light Plasma Macrocannon Turrets
    -Equipment - Armored Lifepods/Autoloaders/(Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Veteran Crews/Phantom Spirit
    The next evolution of the Serpens-Class, making good use of the 'Rotfang' Pattern Macrocannons to replace its previously anemic standard armament and strengthening its stealth functionality to the utmost limit. It can slip up on targets unaware in battle, quickly ablate the shields of even much larger vessels, and then drop a contagion bomb to apply permanent attrition to its victim, while also having enough protection to survive its attack run in good order.

    Taurus-Tertium (Taurus-T) Troopship
    -Length - 2.000m
    -Width - 550m
    -Acceleration - 9 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - 4x Medium Hangars
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Strict Pilot Training/Veteran Pilot Gene Lines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Dedicated Ortillery/Dedicated Heavy Ortillery/Large Black Cat Troop Compartment x4
    Taking lessons learned over the centuries, and combining them with the insights developed from the Black Cat's integration into the Federation, the Taurus-T has been born, making excellent use of space capable of fielding a tremendous number of ground forces to battle, and providing excellent orbital support between its strike fighter wings and integrated artillery. It is also dramatically faster than previous designs, allowing for rapid repositioning for new fire missions as needed and evasion from counterbattery fire in a pinch.

    Sagittarius-Quintus (Sagittarius-V) Lance Frigate
    -Length - 2.000m
    -Width - 550m
    -Acceleration - 9 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - 2x Light Prow Lances/1x Medium Prow Lance
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Pure Lenses/Armored Lifepods/Tuned Shields/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Veteran Crews/Enhanced Strategium/Augmetic Security Department/Lens Cogitation Matrix Lattice/Emergency Manuever Thrusters
    The Sagittarius was nearly ideal in the previous iteration, and yet... there were still improvements made to power output, munitions management, and material sciences that allowed just a little bit more firepower to be eked out of the Lance Frigate. So the engineers replaced the lance weapon in the primary hull with one scaled for a Light Cruiser and called it a day, giving it an even more frightful punch at its traditionally enormous range.

    Crux-Quintus (Crux-V) Heavy Frigate
    -Length - 2.000m
    -Width - 550m
    -Acceleration - 8.5 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - 6x 'Nightborn Seeker' Torpedo Tubes/2x Medium Missile Batteries/1x 'Glittering Tear' Light Missile Battery
    -Equipment - Missile Swarms/(Standard) Ship Shrines/Autoloaders/Armored Life Pods/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Improved Internal Security Systems/Lattice Hulls/Expanded Snapshot Targeting Solutions/BESH Missile Stores/Macross Missile Massacres
    The Fifth Generation Crux takes full advantage of the New Model Fleet's inspiration to bring it into a new era of effect, replacing its torpedo tubes with the 'Nightborn Seeker' Pattern to improve the hit rate on its armaments, and stripping the mountings for the Khopesh Missile Pods in order to integrate the Glittering Tear Pattern launchers, allowing the Crux a new lease of life in its role as a screening vessel, by allowing it to suffuse the battlespace with increasing amounts of sensor chaff to confuse and dismay the enemy, even as the Federation's void ships fight on unhindered.

    Scutum-Tertium (Scutum-T) Shield Frigate
    -Length - 2.000m
    -Width - 550m
    -Acceleration - 9 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - 1x Adherent's Light Lance Turret/2x Medium Lance Turrets/1x Anti-Voidcraft Defenses
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Armored Lifepods/Tuned Shields/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Lattice Hulls/Improved Hardened Prow/Improved Internal Security Systems/Lance Scattershot Lens/Veteran Crews/Shrine of the Charging Revenant
    The Scutum-Class Shield Frigate has always served as a heavy escort for the more vulnerable vessels of the Federation battle-line from its inception as a countermeasure to the Flyssa Destroyers, and the New Model Navy still has a place for it even now. Retaining its anti-void craft functionality, one of the Lance Turrets has been replaced with one of the 'Adherent' Pattern armaments, providing a constant stream of fire and preventing any shielded hostile vessel from refreshing its defenses until the medium lances cycle while also dealing horrific levels of damage while the short-range fire sears through the target.

    Vela-Class Chrono Frigate
    -Length - 2.000m
    -Width - 550m
    -Acceleration - 9 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - 1x Clockwork Heavy Missile Battery
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Missile Swarms/Autoloaders/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Lattice Hulls/Augmetic Security Department/Rapid Snapshot Targeting Solutions/Macross Missile Massacres
    An experimental vessel that uses the Dirut's nascent chronotechnology to deliver telling blows directly to the hull or internals of enemy vessels and survive the experience (especially when accompanied by a suitable escort). The performance of this is unclear, as the usual saturation of fire has--by definition--been reduced due to the complexity of the armament (though not as much as one might think, the Federation remains among the best at missile weapons in the known Galaxy), but expectations are promising.

    Scorpio-Quartum (Scorpio-Q) Light Cruiser
    -Length - 4.400m
    -Width - 600m
    -Acceleration - 6 Gravities
    -Armor - Medium Triple Hull
    -Shields - One Matrix
    -Weapons - 8x 'Darkest Hour Seeker' Torpedo Tubes/2x Heavy Missile Batteries
    -Equipment - Missile Swarms/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Ship Shrines/Autoloaders/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Lattice Hulls/Augmetic Security Department/Infused Armor Plating
    The Scorpio's newest iteration proved something of a challenge, as, due to some oddities of ship design, it was astonishingly difficult to significantly improve on its already tightly managed structure. Yet the insight of the Star-Child and the demands of the New Model Navy project won out, and this new generation was developed, making use of the next category of advanced torpedo to give its already fearsome forward punch an even deadlier strike, making room for the large weapons by expanding on the hull just a little bit. While its already superb defenses haven't improved too much, primarily focusing on strengthening its slightly anemic resistance to hostile boarders, the Scorpio-Quartum nonetheless forces a terrifying threat to its forward arc, with its torpedoes able to cripple much larger vessels with a single punishing salvo if left unchecked, allowing it to better serve its role as a line-holder.

    Gemini-Class Liturgical Cruiser
    -Length - 4.400m
    -Width - 600m
    -Acceleration - 6 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - One Matrix
    -Weapons - 2x Sapphire Stenograph Turrets
    -Equipment - Autoloaders/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Enhanced Strategium/Rapid Snapshot Targetting Solutions/Icons to the Faith
    An experimental craft intended to serve as an alternative to the Hydrus Class when dealing with Warp-based foes--or alternately, ones resistant to the radiation weapons of its inspiration. The Gemini-Class is a holy craft constructed to fire its arcane weapons to deliver the Star-Child's Mercy and Ruthlessness upon the most stubborn of targets.

    Corona-Class Void Bastion
    -Length - 4.400m
    -Width - 600m
    -Acceleration - 6 Gravities
    -Armor - Medium Triple Hull
    -Shields - One Matrix
    -Weapons - 4x Medium Boarding Hangars
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Veteran Pilot Gene-lines/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Enhanced Strategium/Large Teleportarium/Blessed Temples of the Martial Ordos
    Many foes seek to bypass the strength of the Federation's fleets, seeking to strike at the heart--and while our sailors are well prepared to defend hearth and home, sometimes, salvation requires heroes--and the Lamenters are otherwise preoccupied. To solve this problem has come the Corona-Class, a vessel that exists to be a mobile base for Templar Orders, providing all that they require to train, complete their great deeds--and in times of war, to support neighbor and kin with their finely honed arts of war, able to sally forth and reinforce allied vessels while keeping track of the greater confusion of naval war, either through their great launch bays of boarding craft, or the Teleportarium devices built within

    Leo-Quartus (Leo-Q) Vanguard Cruiser
    -Length - 5.400m
    -Width - 1.000m
    -Acceleration - 4 Gravities
    -Armor - Light Fortress Armor
    -Shields - Three Lattices
    -Weapons - 4x Riptide Cannonades
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Armored Lifepods/Lattice Hulls/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Improved Internal Security Systems/Expanded Snapshot Pinpoint Targetting Solutions/Yeeni Auxillary Engineer Division
    The Leo was already nearly ideal, yet the one thing that had been lagging behind was its armament--too lightweight to mount a heavier caliber but too heavyweight to accept anything much smaller. The Riptide Cannonade is an elegant solution to this problem, maintaining the Leo's heavy batteries, but raising their rate of fire to levels not seen since the Dark Age of Technology--a hailstorm of righteous fury capable of shattering even the toughest hulls, fired with an uncanny degree of accuracy.

    Cancer-Secundus (Cancer-S) Assault Cruiser
    -Length - 5.200m
    -Width - 900m
    -Acceleration - 4 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Bulwark Hull
    -Shields - Three Lattices
    -Weapons - Heavy Boarding Hangar/Improved Heavy Prow Ram/The Shatterprow
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Harsh Pilot Training/Veteran Pilot Gene-Lines/Improved Hardened Prow/Improved Prow Spur/Fangs of Dew/Blessed Shrines of the Martial Ordos/Micro-Warp Jump Engine
    The next generation Cancer Assault Cruiser, taking full advantage of the greater propagation of Psykers in the Federation and improved shipbuilding innovations to create a vessel that can tear apart damn near anything it goes up against while launching ferocious assaults against anything that remains intact after the Assault Cruiser collides with its intended victim. Early calculations say that a strike at full speed could crack a Battleship's spine, let alone anything smaller.

    Draco-Class Artillery Cruiser
    -Length - 4.800m
    -Width - 700m
    -Acceleration - 4 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Triple Hull
    -Shields - Three Lattices
    -Weapons - 1x Prow Shadow of the Wing/5x Adherent's Light Lance Turrets
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Armored Lifepods/Pure Lenses/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Harsh Crew Training/Veteran Crews/Enhanced Strategium/Lens Cogitation Matrix Lattice
    -Detriments - Excessive Cooldowns
    The Draco has a simple purpose: to gaze upon the wicked and see them turned to ashes with the Star-Child's most intense fires. A prow weapon capable of gathering the concentrated force of five rays of holy light, and channeling it in a fury capable of cracking starbases in twain. A ship beyond the Federation's limits to build, and may forever be a relic of old times. But when the need is greatest, the Draco may return to cast the light of judgment once again.

    Phoenix-Secundus (Phoenix-S) Arc Cruiser
    -Length -7.600m
    -Width - 1.800m
    -Acceleration - 2.4 Gravities
    -Armor - Thick Fortress Armor
    -Shields - Two Aegides
    -Weapons - 1x The Holy Sword of the Child Turret/2x Green Arc Cannon Turrets/2x Green Arc Lance Batteries
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Armored Lifepods/Pure Lenses/Tuned Shields/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Enhanced Strategium/Five-Fold Armor/Blessed Shrines of the Martial Ordos/Veteran Crews/Yeeni Auxillary Engineer Division/Lens Cogitation Matrix Lattice
    The Phoenix-Secundus is more an evolutionary advancement on its predecessor, rather than something revolutionary--though our initial signs of making our own spin on Concrete Mastercraft have led to being able to arrange the ship's armaments in such a manner that a single turret...sublimates in a way, discarding its original coloration to take on the Star-Child's heraldry, and striking with force that once was thought matchable only by the Ancients who originally built those vessels. While the details of how this arrangement allows for even a crumb of mastery over arc weapons defeats us, the power it exhibits is...not small.

    Lepus-Secundus (Lepus-S) Grand Cruiser
    -Length - 7.600 Meters
    -Width - 1.800 Meters
    -Acceleration - 2.4 Gravities
    -Armor - Ultra-Light Starclad-Pattern
    -Shields - Two Aegides
    -Weapons - 12x Dawnborn Hound Torpedo Tubes/4x Ultra-Heavy Missile Batteries
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Auto-loaders/Missile Swarms/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Harsh Crew Training/Improved Internal Security Systems/Augmetic Security Department/BESH Missile Store/Expanded Snapshot Pinpoint Targeting Solutions/Five-Fold Armor/Macross Missile Massacres/Splitter-Missiles
    The Lepus-Class was already mostly functional, needing only a little more work to reach its potential. The added expertise learned from the Shipwright's Grove allowed its full potential to be unlocked. And then we also added a giant pile of void-shielded Torpedoes on top just for good measure, giving it a terrifying punch-up potential when it's already a very large and dangerous brawler.

    Aquarius-Class Fleet Tender
    -Length - 7.400m
    -Width - 1.800m
    -Acceleration - 2.4 Gravities
    -Armor - Medium Fortress Armor
    -Shields - Two Aegides
    -Weapons - 10x Light Macrocannon Turrets
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Hymns of the Machines/Large Repair Bay/Titanic Blessed Manufactories of the Five-Fold Faith
    The Aquarius-Primus was an acceptable prototype for the Federation's first steps into super-capital construction, but the New Model Navy requires a fully seasoned expert with enough production capacity to support the colossal forces that can be fielded nowadays. Enter the first true Aquarius--no longer a prototype design, and considered auspicious in the Star Child's Eyes, as the entire structure is a well-armored, forward production facility only a step beneath a full fleet yard, a single example able to supply much of its attendant battlefleet, even absent usable drydocks, and other facilities. Given actual support, the new Aquarius can maintain a formation's supplies and morale for decades.

    Virgo-Class Fleet Carrier
    -Length - 28.000m
    -Width - 6.000m
    -Acceleration - 1 Gravity
    -Armor - Deus Pattern Armor
    -Shields - Five Refutation-Pattern Void Shields
    -Weapons - 1x Prow Shadow of the Wing/50x Light Lance Turrets/8x Ultra-Heavy Hangars (2x Fighter, 2x Interceptor, 2x Bomber, 2x Rad-Bomber (Total: 576x Fighters, 144x Interceptors, 144x Bombers, and 96x Rad-Bombers))
    -Equipment - Pure Lenses/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Ship Shrines/Strict Pilot Training/Veteran Pilot Gene-Lines/Armored Bridges/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Automated Fighter Re-Arming Procedures/Harsh Crew Training/Improved Internal Security Systems/Lattice Hulls/Enhanced Strategium/Lance Scattershot Lens/Augmetic Security Department/Lens Cogitation Matrix Lattice/Normalized Automated Ship Systems/Elite Crews/Arcane Lenses/Paw and Claw/Temperature Controls/Living Warp-Machines/Saintly N'Nonmiton Squadron
    The production model of the Virgo-Class, the first Battleship built by the Glimmering Federation. In many ways, it can be called the ultimate manifestation of the original Carrier Doctrine that even now serves as the foundation of the Star Navy's plan, a single vessel capable of serving as the nerve center for an entire army of strike craft, while also blending the strengths of many of the Federation's peoples into a single cohesive whole. The enhancements to the design come in the form of vastly improved automation courtesy of the Free Duchy's designs, and the integration of a terrifying Main Gun, capable of channeling the entire vessel's self-defense armaments into a single cohesive blast capable of cracking anything short of another Battleship in a single blow. Also, at some point, the N'Nonmitons started glowing in battle; that's not normal, right?

    Hercules-Secundus (Hercules-S) Battleship
    -Length - 28.000m
    -Width - 6.000m
    -Acceleration - 1 Gravity
    -Armor - Deus-Ultima Pattern Armor
    -Shields - Five Refutation-Pattern Void Shields
    -Weapons - 3x Ultra-Heavy Rotary Plasma Macrocannon Turrets/2x Ultra-Heavy Rotary Plasma Macrocannon Batteries/2x Promise Pattern Plasma Macrocannon Turrets/60x Light Macrocannon Turrets
    -Equipment - Autoloaders/Armored Lifepods/(Standard) Ship Shrines/Armored Bridges/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations)/Improved Internal Security Systems/Lattice Hulls/Enhanced Strategium/Expanded Snapshot Pinpoint Targeting Solutions/[High-Explosive+Armor-Piercing+Cluster Munition] Macro-Cannon Shells/Yeeni Auxillary Engineer Division/After-Burner Macro Shells/Shrine of the Charging Revenant/Icons to the Faith/Normalized Automated Ship Systems/Elite Crews/Micro-Warp Jump Engine/Ears of Hare Bnuy/Blessed Abbeys of the Martial Ordos/Infused Armor Plates/Twisted Knotted Vinealloy/Blessed Symphonia Arcanum Arma
    The Hercules-Class was already nearly ideal, a fast brawler able to take the fight to the enemy and bring them low with accuracy and firepower. But there was more potential to still be excavated from this design--the Augmetic Security Department has been further enhanced, taking the form of multiple regiments of Templars to ward off hostile boarders, further improvements to the Arma Symphonia, and actual automation to help defray the costs of the rather manpower-heavy Battleships in terms of, well, manpower. Additionally, room was found to squeeze two of the Promise-pattern Macrocannon turrets into the gunline, giving the Hercules an option to shoot down pesky lighter craft that are just a bit too tough for the secondary guns to bring down in good time.

    Cassiopeia-Secundus (Cassiopeia-S) Arsenal Ship
    -Length - 28.000 Meters
    -Width - 6.000 Meters
    -Acceleration - 1 Gravity
    -Armor - Medium Starclad Pattern Armor
    -Shields - Five Refutation-Pattern Void Shields
    -Weapons - 1x Prow Darkness of the Void Cannon/4x Green Arc Lance Batteries/8x Green Arc Cannon Turrets/60x Light Lance Turrets)
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/Pure Lenses/Armored Lifepods/Tuned Shields/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Armored Bridges/Harsh Crew Training/Improved Internal Security Systems/Augmetic Security Department/Lattice Hulls/Enhanced Strategium/Lens Cogitation Matrix Lattice/Normalized Automated Ship Systems/Elite Crews/Silent Shimmershroud/Arcane Lenses/Temperature Controls/Paw and Claw
    The Cassiopeia-Secundus doesn't appear to be significantly changed from the original version, still armed with a variety of powerful Arc weapons and still a well-balanced lance artillery vessel...and yet...something has changed--its primary battery--an upscaled Tetratek gun, has been altered--using science far beyond the limits of the Star-Mechanicum, and touching upon a secret of the divine. For the Cassiopeia-Secundus's primary gun fires nothing short of Ruination given its physical form. Its true potential is yet unclear.

    Auriga-Secundus (Aur-S) Emergency Response Freighter
    -Length - 6.500m
    -Width - 1.600m
    -Acceleration - 2.6 Gravities
    -Armor - Thin Single Hull
    -Shields - Singular Emitter
    -Weapons - Unarmed
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Chapels to the Five/Medical Deployment Division/Orders of the Guiding Hands/Small Blessed Manufactories of the Five-Fold Faith/Propaganda Center
    The Auriga-Secundus has been brought up to the realities of modern shipbuilding, focusing on the engines to achieve a fast emergency response. The defenses were left mostly as they were, with a slight increase in width to leave room to expand the Large Mobile Civilian Manufactory into several Small Blessed Manufactories of the Five-Fold Faith, providing corruption-resistant supplies.

    Delphinus-Secundus (Del-S) Commissary Freighter
    -Length - 12.000m
    -Width - 4.000m
    -Acceleration - 2 Gravities
    -Armor - Thin Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - Unarmed
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Hexagrammic Grammophone: Comfort/3x Luxurious Crew Quarters
    The Delphinus Commissary Freighter is a much-loved source of comfort to the weary crews of the Glimmering Federations Space Forces. So much so that there was some reluctance to change a design that had already incorporated many of the advances of the last few centuries. However, the creation of the Hexagrammic Grammophone and the discovery of the Psychic Melody of Comfort proved a perfect inclusion in this beloved craft.

    Columba-Secundus (Col-S) Logistics Freighter
    -Length - 12.000m
    -Width - 4.000m
    -Acceleration - 2 Gravities
    -Armor - Thin Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - Unarmed
    -Equipment - (Standard) Ship Shrines/(Standard) Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Hexagrammic Grammophone: Plants/3x Arboretums
    While the Columba Logistics Freighter has much less... fervent love from the rank and file from the Star Navy, loved it still is. A regular supply of good food may be less obviously noticeable than a treasured reprieve, but it is still deeply appreciated. Similar to the Delphinus, the inclusion of the constant use of an appropriate Melody is hoped to greatly improve the effectiveness of this important workhorse of the Navy's logistical backbone.

    Canis-Major-Secundus (C-Ma-S) Bulk Transport Liner
    -Length - 12.000m
    -Width - 4.000m
    -Acceleration - 2 Gravity
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - Unarmed
    -Equipment - (Standard)Ship Shrines/(Standard)Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Improved Internal Security Systems/Blessed Shrines of the Martial Ordos/Hexagrammic Grammophone: Community/2x Titanic Civilian Transportation Hold
    The Cannis-Major has been rebuilt to use a standardized modern Heavy Freighter Hull that will allow commonality of parts and production to ease shipbuilding logistics. Combined with this complete overhaul, a large portion of its internal security system and the chapels to the Five have been replaced with Blessed Shrines of the Martial Ordos and standardized Ship Shrines. Together with the new Hexagrammic Grammophone playing a Melody to encourage Community amongst those onboard, these changes are hoped to provide a safe and calm voyage for the craft's 200 million passengers.

    Canis-Minor-Secundus (C-Mi-S) Bulk Transport Hauler
    -Length - 12.000m
    -Width - 4.000m
    -Acceleration - 2 Gravity
    -Armor - Thick Double Hull
    -Shields - Two Arrays
    -Weapons - Unarmed
    -Equipment - (Standard)Ship Shrines/(Standard)Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Internal Security Systems/Medium Blessed Manufactories of the Five-Fold Faith/2x Titanic Emergency Relief Cargo Hold
    The Cannis-Minor has been rebuilt to utilize the standardized modern Heavy Freighter Hull to provide a commonality of parts and ease shipbuilding logistics. In combination with this complete overhaul, Medium Blessed Manufactories of the Five-Fold Faith have been added to allow a stream of holy equipment custom-made for on-the-ground conditions while the vast cargo holds of generic emergency relief aid are slowly emptied.

    [] A Soul Smeared
    An exploration fleet of New Dawn has stumbled upon an ocean world in a system between the major Warp Lanes. Normally, it would be flagged foe colonization, however when the fleet drew closer to confirm some strange readings, the entire planet seemingly tried to shoot at the fleet via incredibly primitive weaponry. The problem is that, as the Choir with the fleet confirmed, there is only one soul on the entire planet, not enough to coordinate the attempted attack, even with the use of machinery (which would have been noticed). And that one is smeared across the entire planet. Someone should investigate that.

    [] [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.
    (Total: 19
    Uncovered: Revenant II and Prophecy III.
    Secret: Slumber II.

    [] [Psykana] Sing two Songs (Choose at least Three below.) - (0.5/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Song]

    [] [Psykana] Sing a Symphony (Choose Five Songs)

    • Yayyyyy, I got credit :D

    Anyway, we managed to dodge the bullet here, but the tremors are going up and we're already at Medium. Shut it off!
     
    Oh yeah @HeroCooky

    What, uh, exactly does the Darkness of the Void weapon do? It's a 25 DP Holy Weapon based off of an anti-fleet spinal gun, costing 250% the cost of the weapon it was based on. Or are you leaving that reveal for a suitable moment?
     
    I see quite a few escort and cruiser ships with missile+torpedo-only packages. That's a bit of an eyebrow raiser.

    Hmm. Alright, well. I guess we can prep to get all-XV as soon as the warp calms its tits then. Annoying psykana dice.

    [] Plan: Pulling Back from the Precipice
    -[] [Free] Turn off A Cry for the Future
    -[] [Free] Switch ISC back to New Dawn R&D
    -[] [Free] Consecrate In Sacred Sand (Iskhe)
    -[] [General] Develop The Federations'...
    --[] Military Industry XIII (0/1)
    -[] [General] Colonize (Sub-Sector)
    --[] Yearning Tower
    -[] [General] Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication (Devouring Mechadendrite)
    --[] ISC Access - (Thrice-Fold Councils)
    -[] FLEX action

    That means we can do a turn like this and get all-XV in one turn.
    [] Plan: Getting All-XV
    -[] [Psykana] Turn on Cry For the Future
    -[] [Psykana] Misc other Psyakana action (class is in session)
    -[] [General] Develop The Federations'...
    --[] Food Production XIV & XV (1 action with 50% discount)
    --[] Heavy Industry XIV & XV (1 action with 50% discount)
    --[] Medical Services XIII, XIV, XV, XVI (1 actions with 50% discount) (Devouring Mechadendrite)
    --[] Medical Services XIII, XIV, XV, XV (1 actions with 50% discount) (Cry for the Future action 1)
    --[] Military Industry XIV (Cry for the Future Action 2)
    --[] Military Industry XV (Devouring Mechadendrite)

    For future planning I've got some questions for @HeroCooky
    1. Am I right in assuming that [] A Soul Smeared would result in a subturn?
    2. Do we actually need to fix the abyssal order? I'm happy with it. It's got a military bent, and I think that's fine. Is the forming culture of the organization actually bloodthirsty, or just inclined towards martial prowess? I'm not especially worried about chaos corruption amongst a bunch of blanks - should I be?
    3. Is there an informational tab/any information about the sigils we did last turn? During the "Turbo-boosted faith" turn?
    4. Did doing the Blanks during the Holy turn also do anything special over doing them during a normal turn?
    5. What about the new songs? We stuck a ton of choirs into Ashen Fields in the hope that would accelerate how productive the new territories would be. Is it working? What effect is A Trusted Map having? Do we need Choirs for the other stuff we unlocked (Discordant Scream & Choir's Tangle)?
    6. Are the Grammaphones being automatically applied for anything across society, or literally only on the new evac/logistics fleets? (BTW masterful additions @Genderite)
    7. We've got a pile of new melodies. It would be a shame not to think up some new songs with them. So uh:
    Hunger, The Star, Void, Struggle, Time
    Retribution, Candle, Sunset, Time, Fire
    Revenge, Clockwork, Void, Struggle, Death
    Comfort, Plants, Growth, Harmony, Humanity
    Revenge, Candle, Hope, Health, Humanity
    Growth, Comfort, Hope, Peace, Time

    1. Yeah, it's too "Out There" for you to already have a way to deal with it.
    2. You need not fix it. It is bent toward martial pursuits, but, well...[THOUSANDS OF BLANKS IN ONE LOCATION] does not make daemons happy.
    3. Military Forces, Special Orgs, Militant Faith Orders. See below;
    HeroCooky said:
    The Militant Faith Orders of the Glimmering Federation have access to military equipment equal to that of SAGs, though some elite Orders may have weapons, armor, and equipment exceeding such. Their main draw comes from the Sigils they wield and the fanatic zeal they show in spreading the faith and Truth of the Star Child unto the enemies of the Child.

    Sigil of the Blessed Acend - This Sigil is inscribed upon the Militant Aerial Wings of an Order, enabling the pilots to survive even the harshest ascend from the ground of a planet to the void above.
    Sigil of the Faithful Flock - Lifted aloft and woven into hallowed banners, the Sigil of the Faithful Flock brings joyful certainty in the righteousness of one's belief in their course, and the paths they travel, as long as they are an adherent to the banner's Order.
    Sigil of the Artillery Vicar - Etched upon shells of an Order's artillery detachment, this Sigil increases the explosive weight of the ordnance in direct correlation to the etchee's faith.

    4. It increased the rate at which they are given to the state via faith doctrine instead of just stabbed while they are toddlers.
    5. Both Songs are below mechanical attention, the first operating at roughly city-area scales, and the latter influences no mechanic that ever mattered. They are Songs that matter for the fluff and the story, not the Questers. The last two had their Choirs automatically assigned.
    6. Slowly incorporated where applicable. Your peeps don't want to mass-produce them only to find out they summon daemonic invasions every thursday. (Won't happen unless they play like 10 at once in one location, but they don't know that. And they don't want to know that.)
    7. Devouring Endings
    The Last Dying Flicker Reborn
    A Mechanism Of Death
    Warm And Sweet Strawberries
    A Gasp Of Icy Truth
    Warm Blankets Over Soft Breathing

    And with that; Night!
