Reader mode
Things gained on Turn 3

The Vaults of the Past Governors was discovered and loot recovered
1st: Technology (90): Age of Strife/Ending DAoT, Weapon -> archeotech rifle (multi energy weapon, has grav/las/plasma/melta)
3rd: Technology (73) Heresy era cybernetics, Exotic Lifeform (62) -> Sapient female Necron Warrior with no real damage to personality or memories
4th: Exotic Lifeform (17) -> a medicinal plant that can aid in healing minor wounds and chronic pain without addiction
7th: Data (91) -> Complete Sector Map with Warp Lanes, all Wealth trade deals will be improved, unlocks extrasector linkages and trading directly
11th: Data (16) -> planetary map: reveals anomalies
16th: Relic (49) cybernetic suite of no special nature, Wealth (83) -> 641 Resources
17th: Data (48) -> System map reveals prospective anomalous mining locations
18th: Relic (6) warp tech DAoT relic -> DAoT Gellar Field schematics
19th: Exotic Lifeform (37) -> pretty and friendly xenos dog in stasis, has a purr like sound

A private army that is overly skilled to the point of their gear not being sufficient. Training actions are no longer a thing but now it moves to dedicated expansion actions for them.

An action to get a new diplomat after you fired the last one via blackmail

Archmagi compensation
Sincratus: a copy of his personal notebook on biology (unlocks a new action to study it)
Quirana: offers to become your diplomat for 25 Favor permanently, or will train another Advisor in a skill where possible
Lanista Caisa: provides 2 stables of cyber hounds, one of which is automatically provided to the private army for a conditional bonus to tracking/hunting
Notitio: adds 99 to the cybersecurity action and improves it even more beyond his dice/bonus contribution
Sangia: unlocks future Learning actions to incorporate mutations into the Shogi population for gains, but very high suspicion and a book on human biology
Casus: Will provide +10 to all actions on turn 4 due to the data on the sector recovered from the vault and the request
Vulka: increases current production cap by 5% and future gains by 5%. 1000 -> 1050

Native Extraction: 90 -> 115
Trade Income: 400
Added Upkeep: 70 (50, 10, 10)

Resources for turn 4: 995

Can buy up to 32 units of Bauxanium from the Rogue Trader contract set last turn.

Just who snuck in the Necron, and is our xeno about to get along with a fellow metal alien or will they clash?

the 3rd planetary governor hated being stuck at a desk and went on a drunken rampage across the sector culminating in a raid on a sleeping tombworld and stole a coffin that they promptly forgot about after returning to Shogi and shoving it into the vault.
 
I wonder what the Necron's obsession will be, assuming the QM goes in that direction? For those unaware, higher functioning Necrons tend to have their own personal obsessions. It's how they stay sane(ish) despite being locked inside soulless bodies of metal. Imotekh is obsessed with conquest, Trazyn with collecting, the Silent King with redemption, Anakyr with awakening/avenging dormant Tomb Worlds, you get the idea.

Exotic Materials Info Post
  • Informational
    • There are several exotic materials that have little to no easily found information on the internet regarding their use case in 40k, as such I have to create use cases for them.

    I will add to this post whenever I figure out a material usually when it comes up in question, but if someone really wants to know what something does, just ping me or quote this post to ask about it.

    Bauxanium: has no information beyond being sought after by the Imperium. The name of this material is a portmanteau of bauxite and uranium as such I have decided to make it a slightly radioactive isotope of aluminum used to spark fusion reactions in systems that have weight limitations or have a low volume. It is also useful in any place which could make use of radioactive materials baseline.
     
  • Informational
    • That investigate past governors provided a lot more than i expected, with us gaining a lot of information about the planet and sectors. resources and useful loot.

    warp tech DAoT relic -> DAoT Gellar Field schematics

    Well we should make a copy and send those schematics to the homeworld, and if we got a Gellar Field itself, then we also need to send it of

    And with the schematics, that we keep, we need to make a deal with the Admech for it, Admech have giving away worlds for a knife STC, so lets make a good deal

    Technically, we have already found more than 7 STCs, and are already a Governor of a planet. What more could we ask of them, or them us? (Besides getting rid of the anger mechanic, but that seems unlikely.) Personally, I would just wish they spread this to Mars and the rest of the Galaxy, this is too big not to at least warrant an attempt to do so, for the betterment of the imperium.

    We could ask for Resource, for a big ship that we can send of to the homeworld, hell we could even ask them to build up our Extraction infrastructure, we could even ask for as much data they can give us about everthing

    And our MC goal is the betterment of the Homeworld and Shogi, the rest of the imperium does not matter to him
     
    Any Idea of any plan that we should make a plan for, the next turn? Been thinking about trying to do Cadian Talks and missions, what with how much time we spent making them the Best of the Imperial Guard.

    That goes both ways, Protecting and Bettering Shogi goes a way to helping the sector be more secure. And, by helping the sector, we stay alive, and minutely help the Imperium. And, I was referring to the Tech-Priests and the hoarding of their tech.
     
    A big issue within the adnech for research is that there is no streamlined research avenues

    In real life we got journal repositories,so a researcher can always seek sources to further their personal research

    This culture of "back up data and make avaible to other researchers" is invaluable

    Once we have enough political favor within the admech we should convince them of creating a data exchange program using courier ships every so often

    Might Probably be more complicated than us trying to get rid of the Anger mechanic. Though, us getting in good graces with any of the high-brow people that might come up later on in the quest, we'll have to wait before we ever get a chance at that, before we decide to play Tech politics.
     
    I will say that you don't have the leverage that is needed to reform even the planetary admech culture to that degree. Also the schematics arent a STC, they are just a blueprint for the design. So they do not have anything beyond holographic Ikea instructions for how to build the thing.

    The Gellar Fields are also problematic in a weirdish way. The things are somewhat too stable/durable, the Imperium's Gellar Fields are balanced for speed/durability. The ones that you have schematics for are skewed far towards the stability side, they would horribly slow down warp travel for any ship they are used on by orders of magnitude while conferring near perfect protection. A travel of a day becomes a travel of a year in warp for instance and it gets worse the further you have to go.

    The Dark Age had different priorities when it came to their Gellar fields, since everyone was basically biologically immortal or could be shoved into stasis, they could accept vastly slower warp speeds for nigh total immunity to the warp of their time. Now the warp is too chaotic for their designs to hold true in that degree and are even slower than what they would have been in the DAoT.

    Oh yeah im aware we dont have the pull to do so

    Im talking in a hypothetic far future
     
    So with the Sapient female Necron Warrior, we could learn about Necron culture and language, and then later find the world she came from as i would think it would be near our world and see if we can make a deal with them
     
    Maybe, hopefully, possibly. Honestly, I just hope we don't get a string of actions that go over DC 200. Because usually most quests on a ck2, ever make it to turn 50, so I shudder to think of how our action economy is going to suffer. Especially, with some of the DCs we've got for our things.
     
    The only think we need to with DC 200 is getting data on Imperial Voidships and a ship to send to the Homeworld, we are lucky to be able to use 50 favor to gain the Noosphere

    Just wish that we can use favor to also get a Imperial Computer, as we need to do that next turn as we will only have that turn to do that
     
    You have options for more actions, just most of them arent exactly ethical to modern sensibilities. Again the action for the Computers is sending it home, not buying the things.
