What will Scout Fleet Alpha and Kil'drabi Auxiliary Fleet do during the attack on the Orks?

I presume the Scouts will keep patrolling to keep an eye on things, while the Kil'drabi will stay on station in Ubraka to help guard it while the SDF rebuild from the thrashing the Orks gave them. Once we take Itani they can move up to the chokepoint to help our mobile navy hold it against what is likely the Orks in the next sector over.
 
Yeah, Itani is going to have to be a proper Fortress World I think, it's the gateway to our territory bordering a green tide. Until we're ready and have the techniques to do longer-range Warp Translations, this is the bottleneck.
 
Itani is obviously going to be our fortress/staging point against the Orks for the foreseeable future, but I've also been thinking about how we would want to specialize our other systems, assuming Food-5 does unlock specialization like we've been theorizing.

Droma seems set for a primary industrial base, between Cradle Station, the Kil'drabi, and the two inhabited planets. Perfidia could probably pivot to food and/or civilian industry. Ubraka seems to have extensive asteroid fields, assuming that is what those other orbital-rings without anything on them are in its map, so it could act as a mining system, and Numidia...I'm not sure, maybe a secondary industrial system? Since they're one of the more developed planets under our control, having native Void and Heavy Industry.

TBF even if we get better/longer warp drive tech/abilities Itani is still going to be a fortress that everyone else is going to have to go through.
 
Keep in mind that planet specialization is largely a matter of the political control for the Imperium (by making any single planet revolt easier to crush), rather than being an actually good idea to use your limited interstellar logistical capacity to ship grain or ore and regularly expose them to low level warp taint.
 
retreat and evacuation where possible, without any attacks
And so far we stopped the Greenskins cold. What's gonna happen when that inquisitor doesn't find that the Orks/enemies are charging from our system? Is he still gonna retreat or take awhile to question why the WAAAAAAGGHH is taking so long to building up?

FAQ: Have the Kil'drabi really stayed for good? Do they plan to send off colonies of their people while a group remain local? You said they have 3 papers so far. At what rate do they produce pskers?
 
FAQ: By chance were some of the members of the regiments that the Imperium took from Droma 3 in 078.M42 believers in the star child?

Does the imperium/Inquisitor know or suspect that we have Space Marines?

The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) has been updated! 🥳🥳🥳

Ooof, Gnatilla was a major Star Child hotspot, but it was fucked pretty much from the get-go (At the very least, I can't see a way we could have averted its fall even with perfect knowledge, let alone fumbling in the background). What are the odds that this was the intent of all the Shenanigans going on in the background? Because the only thing Chaos and Imperial Orthodoxy are both it lockstep accord on is "There can be no choice other than us". Would explain why there was a Lord of Change of all things actively meddling in this backwater of the universe.

(It's canon that Secession is something the Imperium reacts to and punishes even more than actual no shit Heresy and other existential threats. Putting down a seccessionist power is priority one as far as most Imperial Peers are concerned, to the point that it's one of the few things that the Assassin Temples will always be ready to supply dudes to put a stop to. And as far as the Imperium is concerned, all of humanity are their de jure subjects by definition. If you fail to pay your tithe, that's the governor's problem. If you're not accepting the Imperium's Primacy, that's the Entire Planet's Problem. Though it's not helped by "If the Imperium rejects something, Chaos usually rolls in to fill the vacuum")

What does Chyron and our Lamenters think of us?
A: He is baffled and torn between yelling at you to please stop being so overt heretics and (as of 300.M42) saying "Fuck It, Non-Chaos Splinter Nation Time!" The rest of the Lamenters literally only know you, so they are chill. When they aren't busy being depressed due to their gene-curse.
Totally serious here. And wanna know if it doesn't then can we make it exist for them?

Q: Country is often referred to as the music of pain. Do this listen to Country type music alot? And if not, if they did would they like it?

They have absolutely no idea what Country Music is, and would likely just be confused and slightly put-off by it if they heard some. They are more fans of hymns and vocal music focusing on long somber tones over lyrics.

The Kil'drabi would vibe with it tho.
 
@HeroCooky in regards to our chonkies of boys Lamenters Chapter Masters, can the dreadnought chassis be studied and replicated, or possible be improved upon? Maybe give him a Redemptor or whatever they used during the Great Crusade?
Does he have enough marines to have Tech Marines, Chaplains, Master of Recruits, and a head Sergeon?

Because the Lamenters have been home grown and more or less have differing origins from the previous millennia versions, are they applying new doctrine? Oh! I forgot! Any librarians? I feel like it would be interesting to have a Choir Librarian as the Chapter Master would have no methods of teaching them, and would have to go to us for now. Also, I wonder how a Librarian would operate politically as they are part of the Choir and a space marine chapter.

How would Saints (those flying sister of battle with wings) feel about our culture and religion?

Would it be possible to develop science high enough to remove genetic mutations?

The Dreadnought is out of your league. It breaks something too important, and you are down one Chyron. Permanently.
And he only has the recruits he himself trained, under the belief that he is rebuilding the Lamenters Chapter from a single Marine to Chapter Strength once more. Currently, the Lamenters have 19 actual Space Marines, with all positions only slowly being filled out as they mature and learn. You can expect the Chapter to be minimally functional in another 200 years without collapsing the moment they take Lamenters-Grade losses again.

They are applying a force-preservation doctrine above all else due to very obvious reasons. And no Librarians yet, but any that pop up will likely be Choir Trained and not need to use their linked-casting aids. They will, however, utilize and pass that technique down to any future Librarians. They would also politically be only Chapter bound, as they'd only be Choir trained.

Do you mean Saint Celestine? If so, her felings are utterly neutral on you, as enforced by the Emperor. She will not care about you, but she will stop any attempt to actively bring her into a conflict with you if you aren't the ones instigating one. Other Saints vary by if they are True Saints (Basically Daemons of Big E) or Living Saints (People whose faith manifests miracles), with the first the same as Celestine, and the latter generally hostile.

And yeah, genetically removing mutations is doable. The Warp may re-apply them, but you can make the attempt. You are already surgically removing the more troublesome mutations from your mutant populations while also sterilizing them.
 
Emperor's haet of all gods and faith warring with the fact we're arguably the society he wanted to make before he went Full Dictator, huh?
 
I would like to note that a eugenics practicing semi-democratic theocracy (us) is possibly one of the nicest polity's in the whole setting. Wild.

Look, we're doing the best we can here, generally speaking, when things actually get to our level of abstraction, we try to do the right thing, even if it sucks.

But we're not perfect. Hopefully the Prosperity choice winning will help amelorate the rest of it.

That's honestly a fun thing. The Prosperity Choice when combined with the fact that most of the Civilian Infrastructure increase was in the last 2-3 decades has probably led to a Baby Boom and probably just an Overall Boom, tbh.

Anyone who happens to be in power right now by sheer coincidence is probably being credited with the Droman Economic Miracle (TM).
