Speaks Words of Wisdom... On occasion
Sun does that, Fire doesn't.
Even then, that happens only when you go full death beam with it.
Not to mention, That was an Improptu, unstable lastminute use of Psy-power born of "omg the dark eldar are right on top of us and we are LOSING" Instead of a tested, Planned, and stable song. While its possible For backlash, We have to keep in mind the circumstances that surrounded that use of a Supercharged desperation laser, vs a Song we spend an entire action testing, refining stabilizing etc etc

"Thank you for your cooperation," the Border Security Officer said to the Irrita, silently ignoring the interpreter to the side as they pulled up several papers from a light-brown yellow folder, the pieces of paper printed with tiny letters and denser sentences. "Now, can you confirm that you have been informed of your rights and legal protections as a visitor to the Glimmering Federation under the Trader Movement Legislation #4c/-j?"
Moments passed before the interpreter returned a simple 'Yes' to the Border Security Officer.
"Good. There has been a minor detail in your provided paperwork that has been flagged as suspicious. Do not be afraid; this is not enough to cause you legal trouble yet; it is likely a translation error above all else. Can you explain why you have put down your place of...blooming?" The Officer paused and looked at the interpreter, who shrugged in return. "Ehem, as I said, can you explain why you have put down the place where you started your existence as 'Terra' in the 'Sol' system?"
Moments passed, and the interpreter returned: 'That is because that is correct. I came into the fullness of awareness within the soils of Terra in the Sol System.'
"...you are aware that Holy Terra is the Human Homeworld? Located in the Sol System?"
'Yes. It is a source of quiet amusement to my people that, despite the differences between our people, you have still chosen to humbly call your very homeworld 'Terra' and your star 'Sol' like us instead of some of the more grandstanding words used by other species we have found evidence of or learned about through the Mashan Temple Authority.'
A moment passed as the Officer and interpreter exchanged glances, though it ended when the latter spoke quietly. "Sir, isn't 'Terra' just the High Gothic word for 'Earth'? And 'Sol' for 'Sun'? It would track that a plant Xenos would call their home Earth and that their name for suns would translate as such to us."
"...huh, yeah. That makes sense. That should clear this up. I appreciate your cooperation. This error will be fixed. Have a pleasant day."
Cerberus Internal Memo Re: Nurenor Roses Activity
From: [Captain-Commander Sleep-When-Dead]
To: [All Heads]
Be advised that, due to the impending dissemination of information regarding the Black Ash Clan, the High Council expects a rise in Rose activities. Instruct your people to be more vigilant in that area. We do not want another Rogue Colonies Incident happening!
That is all.
Fleet Internal Memo Re: Task Fleet Re-Organization
From: [Admiral K-533]
To: [Admiral K-532]
I agree with your assessment. Urging the High Council to greenlight the TFRO initiative is highly important. We do not wish to be caught in the middle of administrative reshuffling and staff expansion by hostile activity from the Black Ash Clan or the Mashan Temple Authority. If you have any ideas on whether favors can be pulled to make such a thing happen sooner rather than later, I would gladly hear them.

You Have 3 [Three] Actions. Currently Active ISC: [New Dawn R&D]
(6-Hour Moratorium)
[] [General] Develop The Federations'...
-[] Food Production VII
-[] Civilian Infrastructure VII
-[] Heavy Industry VI
-[] Void Industry X
-[] Medical Services VI

(Gain: A boost in production focusing on the chosen option.)
[] [General] Colonize (Planet/s)
It is time to bring two more worlds into the fold. Thanks to the Kil'drabi becoming our Kin, we can now categorize Frozen, Ash, and Volcanic Worlds as Habitable instead.
(Gain: Two colonized Worlds.
Habitable Worlds: Ultima Sigritta - Sira (Mesa and Savannah), Itani - Grubbub (Low Shrubs and Fog), Gnatiila - Smug (Outback and Canyons)
Hostile Worlds (-1 Void Industry): Qulach's Forge - Node 17c (Acidic Atmosphere)

[] [General] Propaganda For The Foreign Masses - [0/4]
With the Glimmering Federation struggling to digest its recent mass acquisition of systems and populations, some have raised the possibility of using the Federation's more diplomatic abilities and capabilities to subvert, convert, and then integrate new systems without causing mass casualties or widespread destruction. A Propaganda office outfitted with ships, Choirs, materials, factories, and a mandate to do just that should bring foreign systems into our sphere of influence and then the Federation as a whole. It will be pricy, though.
(Gain: Allows you to slowly convert one [1] random system at a time to the Glimmering Federation without Action cost.)
[] [General] Jolly Economic Co-Operation - [1 Remaining]
Despite what people may think, selling a shit-load of materials at discount prices will make you more money than trying to sell them at the standard markup. However, there are only so many materials to sell until the industries are behind and need to restock and be able to supply the same once again.
(Gain: 50% Discount on your [Develop] Actions taken in the same Turn (1 Dev into 2, 2 into 4). Ashan Families like you more.)
[] [Military] Create A [Blazing Sun - 4x War-Packs] or 3x SAGs - [System/s] - [Weight: Light/Medium/Heavy] - [Type: Infantry/Mechanized/Tanks/Augmetic Legion] - [Classification: Sabotage/Assault/Engineering/Demolition/Ogryn/Kil'drabi]
Sabotage Units will focus on raiding and disrupting the enemy with lighting raids and plundering logistics; Assault Units will punch through the enemy in weak points and sow confusion with overwhelming firepower; Engineering Units will focus on creating fortifications and using turrets, mines, and barricades; Demolition Units will be comprised out of heavy weaponry squads with plenty of explosives, from mines to rockets; and Ogryn Units will be Ogryns armored in heavy metals and armed with shields and Beatin' Sticks led by soldiers with spiffy hats that will not be disobeyed. Kil'drabi Units can go into temperature enviroments Humans would require special equipment with ease. Infantry Units consist mainly of boots on the ground, while Mechanized Units are equipped with vehicles that increase mobility and durability at the cost of logistics and all-terrain capability, with Tanks allowing a myriad of armored spearheads or operations to proceed, and an Augmetic Legion consists of cybernetically enhanced humans, equipped with high-end implants and prosthetics that set them far above the human baseline, allowing for far more dangerous deployments. Light Units are better for low-logistic scenarios, while Medium Units rely more on regular shipments and strike a good balance between supply consumption and effectiveness. Heavy Units rely on solid logistics to continue working while offering an equal force concentration in return. A War-Pack comprises 15 Karnivores grouped in Packs of 3 Knights each, alongside the infrastructure/logistics to support and rebuild their Knights.
(Gain: Three SAGs. These contain [Four Units] chosen from the above choices. Tanks require no Classification.)
[] [Military] [Construct/Refit] A Fleet - [36 Fleet Points]
Ships are produced at these rates: Scouts at 1 FP, Destroyers at 2 FP, Frigates at 4 FP, Light Cruisers at 8 FP, and Heavy Cruisers at 18 FP.
You can refit for 10 FP: Two Libra-S to Two Libra-T, Three Crux to Three Crux-S, and Four Taurus into Four Taurus-S in one Turn.
(Gain: Chosen Fleet.)
[] [Military] Militarize The Schools Of Paladins
Though the schools created to equip and train our missionaries for all possible environments and situations have quickly grown to smooth out all failures and bumps in their curriculum, some military think tanks have poked at the possibility of creating a home-grown version of the Imperial Sisters of Battle mentioned in both records and the descendants of a squad on Saget VII. This would include streamlining the usage of the Militaristic Faith Orders to use them in battles on the front line and training those dedicated to spreading and defending the Faith of the Star Child as parts of the military directly in the use of bullet and sword in heavy power armor.
(Gain: Unlock Templars, boosting your military.)
[] [Military] Re-Organize The Task Fleet System
Though it has served us well, as the Glimmering Federation grows, so too does the need of the Navy for a new re-organization of the Task Fleets. Though this time more of a logistical challenge rather than a doctrinal one, doing so will enable the military planners to better plan for and against foreign, and especially hostile, fleets with far more accurate data on their strengths compared to ours.
(Gain: Standard Templates for your Task Fleets, more accurate Military Data on the Maps.)
[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 FP), Frigate (2 FP), Light Cruiser (4 FP), Heavy Cruiser (8 FP)] - [8 FP]
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.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more FP than you possess take more than one Action to produce.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Classes.)
[] [Military] Begin Military Operations (Assign SAG/s) (Choose Location/s) (Designate Objective/s)
-[] 32x Free Celestial Choirs
-[] Task Fleet Alpha (20/30 Ship Capacity)
(3x Andromeda-Class Command Ship, 3x Proof of Our New Path Battlecolony, 1x Libra-Tertium Light Carrier, 2x Libra-Secundus Light Carrier, 5x Crux-Class Missile Frigates, 2x Aries-Secundus Class Corvette, 5x Words of the Writ-Class Frigate, 2x Scorpio-Class Light Cruiser, 2x Taurus-S Troopship (0/10 SAG Capacity))
-[] Task Fleet Beta (20/20)

-[] Task Fleet Gamma (20/20)

-[] Scout Fleet Alpha
(4x Circinus-Class Scout Sloop, 1x Spirit of Discovery Scout-Class Light Cruiser)
There is war to be had and battle to be made. Send troops to resolve issues, squash opposition to the Star Child and Humanity and all Their Protectorates, and send ships to scout neighboring systems to understand what is happening there.
(Gain: Military dispatched to put down opposition violently. Scouts are sent to look at other systems.
Scouting Range: ~10 Systems from Claimed Systems. Scouting Efficiency: 20% Adjacent Systems, 5% Three+ Systems, 1% Five+ Systems.
Note: For use outside your territory or in support of forces specified within another Action.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (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: 30
Uncovered: Technology II.
Secret: Slumber, Silence, Perception, and Grounding.
Star Child: Hope II, Compassion II, Humanity II, Mercy, Creativity III, Health II, Unity II, Innovation, Machinery, Logic II, Progress II, Protection II, Justice, Wisdom, The Sun II, The Home II, Death, Ruthlessness, Brutality, and Fire II.
Kil'drabi: Paths, The Void II, Struggle, Community, and Family.
Gain: Two Melodies newly Conducted.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
Mere Melodies are not the end of the journey, nor should they be the start. They are the middle, from which all things shall grow and wither.
(Uncovered: Technology I.
Star Child: Protection I, Fire I, The Sun I, Humanity I, Creativity II, Song III, The Home I, Logic I, Unity I, Progress I, Compassion I, Hope I, and Health I.
Kil'drabi: Void I.
Gain: A Song.
Sung: Dirge for the Innocent, Bound To The Stars, A Web Of Song.)
[] [Faith] The Great Heresies
Though it is infuriating to many that splits and cracks have already started to appear within the structure of our faith, especially when the Prophet hasn't even been laid to rest in his last resting place, these splits were inevitable. There was no way to prevent those who strayed from established Doctrine, so we must expend effort to bring them back into the fold, even if some start to whisper about altering Doctrine itself to incorporate some parts of their beliefs into ours.
(Gain: Reconcile, Syncretise, Legalise, or Crack Down on a Heresy.)
-[] The Particularists
The Droman Creed emphasizes the different qualities and roles of each of the Five, encapsulating the Co-equal Oneness of the Five-One, One-Five, yet some believe this to be a Pantheon. For the Particularists, this is the furthest from the truth, as they believe the Five-One to not be co-equal within their shared Divinity, but One-As-Five, mixing everything into one being by denying the uniqueness of each Five to not deny the Oneness of them all.
-[] The Anti-Particularists
The opposite to the Particularists, they have twisted this section of the Creed to its utter limit: I believe that these Five, Omnissiah, Emepror, Motive Force, Body of the Faith, and Star Child, are Indivisible and One, and Two, And Three, Four, and Five. They believe one can pair the Five-One according to their "Co-Equal Hierarchy," represented by a square with four edges and the Star Child in the middle. In this, they claim that the Emperor and Omnissiah are on the Left and Right of the square, with the Community of Faith and Motive Force in the lower left and right, relating to each other in their respective roles and relations as they come together to create the Star Child.
-[] The Adherents of the Divine Lines
Those who call themselves the Adherents of the Divine Lines hold to the idea that a Divine Lineage exists at all, claiming that, as the Space Marines and Primarchs are the children of the Emperor-and-Omnissiah as well as the Star Child, a clear line of Divine Heritage exists that allows those who partake in its shared blood to better understand and enact the will of the Five-One unto the face of the galaxy, and that the Glimmering Federation need only right what has so long been silenced.
-[] The Order of the Nurenor Roses
The Order of the Nurenor Roses is the epitome of those Cerberus hunts, for they are a Heretical Sect most foul. They believe the Star Child to be a woman instead of genderless. They seek a society split by task and by gender, with women as the spiritual rulers and men as the material leaders, the place of one designated by birth and skill, using the Thules as evidence for the success of such a practice despite all the evidence to the contrary, and more.
[] [Chapter] A Ship Worthy Of The Chapter (1/4)
Though bound by oaths and ties of blood and industry, the Lamenters were, have, and will never be a Chapter bound by terrestial chains; their fate to sail the endless void in pursuit of the enemy, the wicked, and the daemonic. But to proudly fly once again in full strength, a ship worhty of the Chapter must be built.
(Gain: The Lamenters gain a Grand Cruiser as a Flagship.)
[] [Other] Take Care Of [Future Or Current Problems]

There is war to be had and battle to be made. Send troops to resolve issues, squash opposition to the Star Child and Humanity and all Their Protectorates, and send ships to scout neighboring systems to understand what is happening there.
(Gain: Military dispatched to put down opposition violently. Scouts are sent to look at other systems.
Scouting Range: ~10 Systems from Claimed Systems. Scouting Efficiency: 20% Adjacent Systems, 5% Three+ Systems, 1% Five+ Systems.
Note: For use outside your territory or in support of forces specified within another Action.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (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: 30
Uncovered: Technology II.
Secret: Slumber, Silence, Perception, and Grounding.
Star Child: Hope II, Compassion II, Humanity II, Mercy, Creativity III, Health II, Unity II, Innovation, Machinery, Logic II, Progress II, Protection II, Justice, Wisdom, The Sun II, The Home II, Death, Ruthlessness, Brutality, and Fire II.
Kil'drabi: Paths, The Void II, Struggle, Community, and Family.
Gain: Two Melodies newly Conducted.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
Mere Melodies are not the end of the journey, nor should they be the start. They are the middle, from which all things shall grow and wither.
(Uncovered: Technology I.
Star Child: Protection I, Fire I, The Sun I, Humanity I, Creativity II, Song III, The Home I, Logic I, Unity I, Progress I, Compassion I, Hope I, and Health I.
Kil'drabi: Void I.
Gain: A Song.
Sung: Dirge for the Innocent, Bound To The Stars, A Web Of Song.)
[] [Faith] The Great Heresies
Though it is infuriating to many that splits and cracks have already started to appear within the structure of our faith, especially when the Prophet hasn't even been laid to rest in his last resting place, these splits were inevitable. There was no way to prevent those who strayed from established Doctrine, so we must expend effort to bring them back into the fold, even if some start to whisper about altering Doctrine itself to incorporate some parts of their beliefs into ours.
(Gain: Reconcile, Syncretise, Legalise, or Crack Down on a Heresy.)
-[] The Particularists
The Droman Creed emphasizes the different qualities and roles of each of the Five, encapsulating the Co-equal Oneness of the Five-One, One-Five, yet some believe this to be a Pantheon. For the Particularists, this is the furthest from the truth, as they believe the Five-One to not be co-equal within their shared Divinity, but One-As-Five, mixing everything into one being by denying the uniqueness of each Five to not deny the Oneness of them all.
-[] The Anti-Particularists
The opposite to the Particularists, they have twisted this section of the Creed to its utter limit: I believe that these Five, Omnissiah, Emepror, Motive Force, Body of the Faith, and Star Child, are Indivisible and One, and Two, And Three, Four, and Five. They believe one can pair the Five-One according to their "Co-Equal Hierarchy," represented by a square with four edges and the Star Child in the middle. In this, they claim that the Emperor and Omnissiah are on the Left and Right of the square, with the Community of Faith and Motive Force in the lower left and right, relating to each other in their respective roles and relations as they come together to create the Star Child.
-[] The Adherents of the Divine Lines
Those who call themselves the Adherents of the Divine Lines hold to the idea that a Divine Lineage exists at all, claiming that, as the Space Marines and Primarchs are the children of the Emperor-and-Omnissiah as well as the Star Child, a clear line of Divine Heritage exists that allows those who partake in its shared blood to better understand and enact the will of the Five-One unto the face of the galaxy, and that the Glimmering Federation need only right what has so long been silenced.
-[] The Order of the Nurenor Roses
The Order of the Nurenor Roses is the epitome of those Cerberus hunts, for they are a Heretical Sect most foul. They believe the Star Child to be a woman instead of genderless. They seek a society split by task and by gender, with women as the spiritual rulers and men as the material leaders, the place of one designated by birth and skill, using the Thules as evidence for the success of such a practice despite all the evidence to the contrary, and more.
[] [Chapter] A Ship Worthy Of The Chapter (1/4)
Though bound by oaths and ties of blood and industry, the Lamenters were, have, and will never be a Chapter bound by terrestial chains; their fate to sail the endless void in pursuit of the enemy, the wicked, and the daemonic. But to proudly fly once again in full strength, a ship worhty of the Chapter must be built.
(Gain: The Lamenters gain a Grand Cruiser as a Flagship.)

We just got a warning that TFRO needs to be done right the fuck now, so that's priority one.
(It means "Task Force Re-Organization" just in case anyone else is smooth brained today) Nurenor Roses we also got a warning are potentially likely to stir shit up soon too.

Since we're about Due for another Crisis, it's probably wise to get the Production Model Leo out, even if the Super variation probably isn't going to be forever away. We know what it lacks, and I'll give one final pass on the design right now to get it up to scratch.

What about the Nurenor Rose Activity memo?
That looks like Hero is giving us a clue-by-four. Not dealing with them seems highly inadvisable.

Song. This gets us a bonus action, so that next turn we do 3 actions Civ Inf, one action Jolly Cooperation and get the Civ Inf X trait.

Leo-class Vanguard Cruiser
[] [Heavy Cruiser] Leo-class Vanguard Cruiser
-[] Length - 4.800 Meters

-[] Armor - Medium Bulwark Hull (-2 DP)

-[] Equipment - Armored Lifepods/Ship Shrines/Autoloaders/Lattice Hulls/Strict Pilot Training/Veteran Pilot Gene-Lines/Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Harsh Crew Training/Yeeni Auxiliary Engineer Division (-15 DP)
Still a large improvement on the Leo Prototype, with vastly increased protection while still maintaining its relativel speed and agility advantages. Has more mass, and an easy avenue towards a generational update to a Super model depending on when we can shake loose that tech-trade with the Shipbuilders. It'll be a fine spearhead for our fleets.
And the warning that we're about to get Stuck In soon because someone will flip out and try to kill us has been recieved properly. We'll want proper Heavy Cruisers to force our way through when that happens, and the true Leo-class should solve most of the big issues from the previous ones, especially since we'll likely have enough Scorpios that they don't need to double as line-holders.

I will say that I feel like the stuff with the Black Ash Clan is absolutely just Military People assuming shit. They do not have the forces to be a credible threat, and there's never been a military force in the history of the world that said, "We're overfunded and people are focusing too much of society's resources on us." Not that I think they're overfunded, but I don't think we need to spend, like, two actions on naval stuff right this very moment. I'd rather actually get a better look at surrounding threats first in order to more accurately evaluate the dangers.

We NEED to use our racial perk! The GM is basically poking us with how much stuff is hidden behind it, including extra actions and such because its meant to be a massive part of our playstyle. We have honestly ignored it to a silly degree.
The roses Need to be taken care of , The task fleet needs reorganizing, but past that, we need to actually use our Big Perk.

You have spread to around 19 million people, qualifying yourself as a Small Gang Of Note on the Planet. Primarily due to being spread out into 5 Hives and multiple Wasteland Clans. QoL is sharply rising to Belgian Congo levels and many are amazed at the sheer fucking luxuries they now have, like a meal per day guaranteed.
I mean, that is their job.
But yeah, they are just hoping to get the messy reorganization out of the way to ensure no SNEAK ATTACK gets through when they are actually needed.

Where did it all go wrong?

As others have said we need to do this, this turn in preparation for whatever next crisis that's incoming.
Beyond that I am inclined towards building the production model HC for our fleets so we have a ship of the line for our fleets. That or doing a full on Song and see what that gets us.

Why would we need to do 3 actions on Civ Inf?
Reduction from the ISC makes it 1 action per 1 advance. Jolly Cooperation makes it 1/2, we're four away.
