Honestly just making a specific task-force with like 10 Sagitarius-S in it might be enough long-range punch to pick off the orbital stations from range. We could call it a Siegebreaker Flotilla, and have those formations be where we keep our Sagis, as sort of an attached detatchment to SBGs

As for the Fleet Action, once it's at 40 AP, I think we should spend it to get half a point of SBG Action (4 Carriers), spend the 36 FP to make it so that all of our ships are up to date, and then if there's any left (we might update more ships, who knows) spend the last four FP on Scouts.
Since number of SBGs matter, but so does the quality of the ships!

Speaking of upgrades, if we can, we really should upgrade the Andromeda's.
They're the literal linchpin of our fleets, and right now they would be the weakest part of our fleet.
Even the frigates have better defenses.

Speaking of, @HeroCooky , does the Sag-S fit the "Artillery ship" requirements?

Yeah, there are a lot of old descriptions running around that need to be updated, but I honestly can't be bothered to to all of them. It's good enough with the other stuff you ahve about interacting with Xenos, and I typically remember those when writing/offering you options to deal with stuff like that.
It does, even if it technically doesn't have an Artillery Weapon like the pre-DAoT Tetratek ARc Cannonade is.

In essence, we have two options. Retrofit the light cruiser with all the gimmicks, or scale the ship down.
I'm tempted to pick both, TBH.
Another interesting trick, if we have excess design points left, is to redesign
The Chamleon as an actual Light Freighter.
Last edited:

But... the Chamleon is a Frigate? Why would we design it as something that cost more FP and cannot possibly escape if it is discovered?
Like the point of a Stealth Delivery Frigate would be that if things really do get hot, it has pretty good shields and a very good turn of speed, whereas a Freighter would have shit shields and crawl.

It'd exchange the ability to deliver far more over survivability in the event of detection, but TBH, I don't have much hope for a Chamleon to escape if it gets detected either, they'd be fighting against impossible odds.
Maybe equip it with emergency warp breakers, so that it can just jump out?
Two points.
First, we only need those artillery ships if we haven't infiltrated the defense stations. No point building out a whole artillery arm if we could instead just flip the stations to our side. Plus that would give us readymade defenses and void industry (probably).
Second, currently the Andromedas just sorta drop the fleet and skeddaddle to avoid putting choirs in the way of combat. If we outfit them as a combatant we might start losing choirs.
That being said, there's three ways I see as reasonable to refit them - repair ship, artillery ship or psyker ship. We could just do the first one, but we'd need to unlock the carronade for the second and probably a bunch of psytech for the third. Just a thought.

As far as it goes, I'm obviously of the opinion that if we want to update the Chameleon, this is the choice. As you can see, it is very much a case where we could really use one more DP, so that we could bring back Ship Shrines, but as cool as they are I don't think lacking them will suddenly mean all is lost.
Because it has better shields (and shields are its main defense) and even more Stealth Gear.
They have Emergency Warp Breakers, very good shields, and are faster than anything but a Destroyer! And even then, only a fast Destroyer!

It sure does.
OTOH, it's kind of lacking in mission equipment, having only 3DP worth of stuff that can actually help it infiltrate Vox Primus.
A stealth vessel equiped with
might be wortwhile, if we can afford it.

That's... interesting, but I dunno if it fits the mission profile? These ships are supposed to get in, drop off the Pilgrims/Supplies, etc, and then go back to get more, all while doing it very stealthily.
I'm presuming that they do more than one run a year, and in fact probably do at LEAST one a season, if not more, considering it'd take, like, two weeks per mission. Maybe three or four at the outside?
If they hang around, that's an added chance of being discovered, IMO.
Keep in mind the Chamleon is fast as hell with 7Gs, while a Light Freighter can only get up to like 2.5gs and I don't think a lot of armor would help if you get caught within the orbital defense network.
Then again, if we do a song or two our Andromedas can contribute a lot to a fight, and they're already going to be in the backline with as much protection as can be afforded and any weapons would certainly be long range.

730.M42 - An Ill Omen
HeroCooky
Unverified Monstergirl
The Oracle stood on the pedestal, wings fully raised and extended by his own will and effort. The deep-blue eyes on the near translucent wings stared into the past and the future just as the Oracle did, but never into the present—curse and blessing of the Gods in one. Slowly, a chittering escaped their mouth, burning through the smoke and vapor of the holy fires surrounding the temple's inner sanctum.
"The Stars burn, and War calls," he spoke, arms raised against the skies. "A million million minds churn in hatred and desperation, and War calls. Ships of metal clash in empty skies as flames of soul lick upon the noble and the worker alike, and War calls." The words spread unease among the gathered nobility of warriors and rulers. "War Calls. The Stars Burn. War Calls. A spawn unborn takes the sword to its progenitor's reign. War Calls as the Stars Burn. Hungering Maws eat worlds, and Slaved Minds are roused to slaughter." The unease broke into whispered words and conversations; flutterings broke the smoke from some as they tried to decipher the words. "The Moving Star has shattered our innocence; its War calls all. We shall bow, or we shall perish when it returns with its children in tow. There Is Only War Among The Stars."
The Oracle collapsed, falling from the pedestal as gasps of horror and shock rang out.
An Ill Omen.
Reality screams, a Wound In The Veil opens, a ship is spat from the Warp...and a hundred grasping hands of targeting methods caress its form before its captain and crew can shake off the unease of transition.
Their eyes see too late the plumes of engines and the pin-pricks of lights from missiles as lances spool up to fire. Their mouths speak the words of action and reaction too late, for their void shields are already flickering. Their minds are too sluggish to do more than return ineffective fire as the hull is broken in a hundred places.
The Warp Drive does not activate fast enough to escape back to the Duchy, Federation weapons biting deep into the hulk where a scout ship once was.
Contact between the nations has been made as quickly as one severed all knowledge of such for the other.

[] [General] Propaganda For The Foreign Masses (0/3)
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] Free Movement and Friendship Declaration
Due to the Glimmering Federations' patronage of the Ashan Families, inconsistent as it was overwhelming in the industrial and economic sectors, they proposed opening the border between the citizens of both nations to seek employment and opportunity (with some limiting factors and clauses, security concerns still apply after all), alongside a Friendship Declaration between the two governments.
(Gain: Ashan Families like you more.)
[] [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] Create A [Blazing Sun - 4x War-Packs] or 6x 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: Four War-Packs or Six SAGs. These contain [Four Units] chosen from the above choices. Tanks require no Classification.)
[] [Military] [Construct/Refit] A Fleet - [36 Fleet Points] - [28 FP Banked]
Ships are produced at these rates: Scouts at 1 FP, Destroyers at 2 FP, Light Freighters at 3 FP, Frigates at 4 FP, Light Cruisers at 8 FP, Heavy Cruisers at 18 FP, and Heavy Freighters at 25 FP.
You can refit for 36 FP: One Leo-Primus to One Leo-Class Vanguard, Twelve Libra-S/T to Twelve Libra-Q, Three Crux to Three Crux-S, and Four Taurus into Four Taurus-S in one Turn.
(Gain: Chosen Fleet.)
[] [Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group

-[] Minotaur (0/4)
-[] Leviathan (0/4)
-[] Basilisk (0/4)
-[] Hydralisk (0/4)
-[] Necrolisk (0/4)
A Sector Battle Group consists of 4 Heavy Cruisers, 8 Carriers, 6 Light Cruisers, 8 Heavy Frigates, and 4 Corvettes. Building them in bulk is cheaper than in parcel, and once we have them all filled, we can think about constructing new ones!
(Information: All Action Costs must be paid to receive the ships.
Gain: Filled out SBG.)
[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 DP), Frigate (2 DP), Light Cruiser/Freighter (4 DP), Heavy Cruiser/Freighter (8 DP)] - [8 DP]
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 DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.

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] The Celestial Orrery (0/2)
Taking the first stumbling step in creating wonders by combining technological and psychic disciplines into one cohesive whole is a step that is fraught with dangers. Though we know that such psy-tech can be made that it can become the underlying linchpin of civilization itself, like the Hymns of the Machines, many dangers come with invoking the powers of the Warp without a mind to ward off the daemonic influences that inevitably try to take advantage. Yet, a step can be taken in a direction that will enable us to build familiarity without suffering titanic repercussions in failure. The first intentional psy-tech of the Federation shall be the construction of the Celestial Orrery. This large machine will show the nearest star system's planetary bodies and their stellar paths.
(Gain: 8 DP Equipment: Celestial Orrery. Improves scouting.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (0.8/1 - 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 II, Perception II, and Grounding II.
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.)

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.)
[] [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 opposite to the Anti-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 Anti-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 Anti-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.

[] [General] Propaganda For The Foreign Masses (0/3)
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] Free Movement and Friendship Declaration
Due to the Glimmering Federations' patronage of the Ashan Families, inconsistent as it was overwhelming in the industrial and economic sectors, they proposed opening the border between the citizens of both nations to seek employment and opportunity (with some limiting factors and clauses, security concerns still apply after all), alongside a Friendship Declaration between the two governments.
(Gain: Ashan Families like you more.)
[] [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] Create A [Blazing Sun - 4x War-Packs] or 6x 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: Four War-Packs or Six SAGs. These contain [Four Units] chosen from the above choices. Tanks require no Classification.)
[] [Military] [Construct/Refit] A Fleet - [36 Fleet Points] - [28 FP Banked]
Ships are produced at these rates: Scouts at 1 FP, Destroyers at 2 FP, Light Freighters at 3 FP, Frigates at 4 FP, Light Cruisers at 8 FP, Heavy Cruisers at 18 FP, and Heavy Freighters at 25 FP.
You can refit for 36 FP: One Leo-Primus to One Leo-Class Vanguard, Twelve Libra-S/T to Twelve Libra-Q, Three Crux to Three Crux-S, and Four Taurus into Four Taurus-S in one Turn.
(Gain: Chosen Fleet.)
[] [Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group

-[] Minotaur (0/4)
-[] Leviathan (0/4)
-[] Basilisk (0/4)
-[] Hydralisk (0/4)
-[] Necrolisk (0/4)
A Sector Battle Group consists of 4 Heavy Cruisers, 8 Carriers, 6 Light Cruisers, 8 Heavy Frigates, and 4 Corvettes. Building them in bulk is cheaper than in parcel, and once we have them all filled, we can think about constructing new ones!
(Information: All Action Costs must be paid to receive the ships.
Gain: Filled out SBG.)
[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 DP), Frigate (2 DP), Light Cruiser/Freighter (4 DP), Heavy Cruiser/Freighter (8 DP)] - [8 DP]
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 DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)

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] The Celestial Orrery (0/2)
Taking the first stumbling step in creating wonders by combining technological and psychic disciplines into one cohesive whole is a step that is fraught with dangers. Though we know that such psy-tech can be made that it can become the underlying linchpin of civilization itself, like the Hymns of the Machines, many dangers come with invoking the powers of the Warp without a mind to ward off the daemonic influences that inevitably try to take advantage. Yet, a step can be taken in a direction that will enable us to build familiarity without suffering titanic repercussions in failure. The first intentional psy-tech of the Federation shall be the construction of the Celestial Orrery. This large machine will show the nearest star system's planetary bodies and their stellar paths.
(Gain: 8 DP Equipment: Celestial Orrery. Improves scouting.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (0.8/1 - 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 II, Perception II, and Grounding II.
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.)
[] [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 opposite to the Anti-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 Anti-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 Anti-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.
