[] Plan: Prepare to Fight the Psykana
-[] [Faith] Begin The Great Education
-[] [Military] Raise A Specialised Light Infantry Unit - Assault
-[] [Chapter] Fail Not The Ancient That Sleeps

Just a possibility. We really need a military unit, I'm terrified of something going wrong with the Chapter, and people wanted to do the Great Education, right?
 
Okay then, we have a very big system it seems, given the 79 freaking celestial bodies we have here.

So far what it looks like is that we've been yeeted into a recently discovered system (recently discovered by the Imperium that is), the Exterminatus we saw before was probably part of their effort to kick the natives out and slowly begin colonizing the system.

Sad as it is for the natives, we got over 100 ships worth of salvage and goodies to loot and plunder to our hearts content.

Praise be to the Star Child for our arrival here.

No idea for a plan yet, but we may want to help the neophytes out, just so we can assure they pass.
 
Ok, so that went well enough.

[] Plan: Build up
-[] [General] Construct Something
--[] Food Production
--[] Medical Services
-[] [Military] Raise A Specialized Light Infantry Unit - [Choose: Assault)

I'm open to changing medical to a different type of production but we need food.

New secondary plan, because the Frozen Forest Moon is apparently time sensitive? It is annoying that we haven't been able to actually touch "building something new that helps the common folk" in a bit... Which is why I'm still voting for the original plan as well.

But the Frozen Forest Moon IS time sensitive, apparently.

[] [Faith] Construct Cradle-Shrines
Five shrines will be built, one in the center, four on a cross centered on the first. There, our preachers will give sermons; there, our faithful will gather, and there, we will be united in faith and belief. From there, all of our works shall be elevated, and all our struggles made holy. We are but candles in the dark of the galaxy. Time to light five fires to gather around and provide guidance to all who are yet lost but wander still. With so much time having gone by since the initial zeal of conversion during the Rising, and no places to gather in truth, the people's fervor has begun to waver. As does the protection of Faith against Chaos.

OK, we need to get those shrines up and running.

Okay, credit to HeroCocky for simulating what it would really be like to be a "Good guy" faction in 40k.

No more than 3 actions to deal with the 50+ problems, not even mentioning the ones that have yet to arrive.
 
No like actually, why is the Chapter the only group that can take care of themselves, @HeroCooky ?

Like, if we don't choose the Chapter options they muddle through with a worse outcome but something still gets done (one Neophyte versus 4, for instance), but meanwhile they all just sit around on their hands not building any temples until we tell them to.

Sort of new plan because Star Child needs worshipping.

Like the reason I'm annoyed is that when Christians didn't have institutional support they held worship in their homes or in catacombs or the open fucking fields (early Christianity post-Jesus), and when they had only a little support, African-Americans built storefront churches of cheaply rented properties to spread the faith and continue to worship as they did in the South during the Great Migration.

But then meanwhile our people wring our hands after a decade or two of not having purpose-built temples for themselves.


[X] Plan: Have some Faith

The complete lack of a military is going to bite us, but we have literally no choice, the QM has hit us upside the head with this being what we must do.

Like, I feel that, but never forget, for all that we're Iconoclasts, we are also Imperials.

Big impressive temples is straight up normal for them.

No, I'm saying that faith has IRL survived infinitely worse than not having big fucking temples, and yet apparently the whole edifice is crumbling because we took a few turns to build them shrines... because we were doing other massively helpful things.
