I intend to run it by the mods first. And it's Chaos, if I'm not writing it as utterly disgusting and inherently anathemic to every moral system ever, I'm doing something wrong.

Oh no, all four are involved. And get squished by the Fifth of Four. For comparison, the Star Father is the Sixth of Four. Also, it's a crossover with a series I rather like. I'll leave it at that.

jittery works for everyone, a lot of the training was on how not to be jittery
the average Avernite is constantly flickering their eyes over everything in the region and is always poised for action, they move in groups whenever possible even offworld and are always armed and armored, or at least as well equipped as local laws allow

One thing I've sort of have been wondering; as a lord of a fief on a Feudal World, aren't we technically allowed to have Knight Vassals? And if Rotbart was allowed vassals, would he be allowed to field/operate them on Avernus? I'm not trying to sabotage Asgard here or start an incident with everyone's favorite High Marshal, it's just Imperial Knights would be a nice contribution against the local wildlife and I'm kinda curious to see what kind of culture Avernite Knights would develop.
Considering how much we've helped Asgard, we may want to talk to Sigurd in private the next council meeting and see if we can get permission to field some Knights of our own, possibly as a means of forgiving a large amount of the debt.

The Third Meeting of the High Council Part Six: Finishing up
The trade deals are finalised after a day or two with the main focus of the trade deals being to prepare to supply Vanaheim with Metal once it is released from the Warp Storm. You paid off your debt to Svartalfheim by selling ten Merchantmen and promising the next ten Merchantmen that you shipyards produce.

Considering that Asgard has the equivalent of 40 merchantmen in cargo ships, can we ask them to cover (part of) their payment obligations with using their own craft to ship metal?

You mean Svartalfheim here.
They've got their own metal to ship.

The major event of last year was the third High Council Meeting, where little was decided on other then trade deals. Avernus did well out if the trade deals, paying off most of your debt to Svartalfheim and gaining a decent amount of material. Another important event was the fact that Trolls have started using looted weapons, proving that they are truly an intelligent species and may be worth making diplomatic contact with.
General Drago is currently rather busy with a collection of large military projects that are under way which he tells you will massively increase the combat potential of the Avernite military. One thing you do hear is that Lieutenant-General Christianson of Aridia had a close brush with death as a result of a Titan Scorpion and had to spend a month recovering. Lieutenant-General Donovan has developed his administrative skills in the years since being promoted, out of necessity more then anything else.
Administrator (+2A) – In his time as the commander of the Azure Islands PDF Lieutenant-General Donovan has been forced to develop his administrative skills to a decent level.
Now that she has the free time to start another project Freya tells you that you have two major paths that you can follow. To either build up your shipyards and hope to build a large enough fleet to meet any potential invasion fleet or to focus on building defences so that you can hold out against major fleets but can not offer as much aid to the rest of the Nine Worlds. Given how valuable The Well of Urd is both options are equally valid but trying to do both will be futile.
Henry is rather busy with his current projects this year but still has some time to plan for the future. He mentions that Mirkwood is nearly large enough to expand and that he should be able to begin the expansion in a year or two at the most, increasing the defences of your most vulnerable city.
Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan is pleased by how the High Council Meeting went, with no problems occurring despite your slightly risky proposal. He tells you that it is a very good sign that the leaders of the three technological groups were able to talk about their issues without any animosity and have not ruled out sharing more in the future. He has also suggested trying to make contact with one of the Troll High Chiefs in order to reduce the attacks from Trolls.
Jane has spent the last year beginning the construction of over a dozen new Psyker Hunter Academies. She tells you that with the recruits she will gain from these academies Avernus will be able to quickly gain enough Psyker Hunters to be able to safety send them off world. She tells you that now that Syr is old enough she is willing to begin instructing Syr in the Way of the Blade.
Archmagos Explorator Tranth has completed his recent survey of the ship graveyard and catalogued ten different classes of warships. Next he would like to give a single class a closer look before he can begin reverse engineering them. The rest of the Mechanicus continues to prosper with Magos Biologis Saren being rather enthused by the idea of controlling kraken, as are you to be honest as it would fill the largest hole in your defences.
Saint Lin is currently splitting his time between Avernus and Asgard and so has been spending a lot of time travelling. This travel has allowed him to have a large amount of time to himself that he has not had much of since the death of the Emperor. Saint Lin seems more cheerful and better rested then he has been for years and several stress lines have disappeared from his face.
While disappointed that the Congregation Asps biomancy is unlikely to be useful Headmaster Ridcully is accepting of the fact that some of the wildlife's powers will prove to be impossible to make use of. He is strongly lobbying to begin his study of Psychic Frequencies saying that the improvements to Neo-Astropaths that this field of study may lead to will prove essential as Astropaths start to die off.
The High Council Meeting was definitely a success despite the fact that most proposals were delayed. One issue that you realised during the meeting is the fact that the Mechanicus still considers itself the only authority on technology. This attitude is why they are refusing to share any more secrets with the Artisan Guilds and why Champion Surt fears to share any more of his secrets. Changing this attitude by even the smallest amount will be hard.

Five Locked Choose None
Recruiting- The assault on Fjol IV killed around half of your military, with some forces such as the Drop Troopers being nearly wiped out. It will take almost a decade for General Drago to train up enough new men to bring your forces to full strength and he would like to begin as soon as possible. It would take twenty years for normal recruiting to replace those who have fallen on Fjol IV during which some of your cities will be dangerously exposed to the wildlife of Avernus.
Time: 9 years.
Cost:35,790,000 Thrones, 8,522,000 Material, 1,538,000 Promethium, 142,000 Advanced Material, 287 Exotic Material.
Reward: Bring the Helguard, PDF, Specialist Regiments, Skitarii, Tech-Guard and Macharius Regiments up to full strength and repair those Titans that can be repaired.
Locked – Five out of Nine Years completed
Vanquishers: Helltroopers- General Drago has put forward a proposal to replace half of the Helguard's and a fifth of the Helltroopers' Leman Russ Battle Tanks with Leman Russ Vanquishers. While expensive this would give all of your forces access to some very wonderful anti-tank weapons, make your armour capable of exterminating most enemy armour, and even being a major threat to the smaller Titans. This option will improve your general forces rather then provide an elite antitank force. Which option is more efficient is hard to determine but you can see how both are useful.
Time: 4 years
Cost: 17,470,000 Thrones, 13,110,000 Material, 436,800 Promethium, 307,900 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 1,747,357 Thrones, 1,310,520 Material, 218,420 Promethium, 15,397 Advanced Material.
Reward: Replace half the Helguard Leman Russ Battle Tanks with Leman Russ Vanquishers and 20% of the Helltrooper Helguard Leman Russ Battle Tanks with Leman Russ Vanquishers
Locked – One out of Four Years completed
Vanquishers: Specialists- General Drago's second proposal about Leman Russ Vanquishers is to recruit a full division of a hundred regiments of them. This would provide you with a large, dedicated antitank force that could be a threat even to forces of Titans but would have no impact on your regular forces.
Time: 4 years
Cost: 878,400 Thrones, 658,800 Material, 21,960 Promethium, 15,480 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 87,840 Thrones, 65,880 Material, 10,980 Promethium, 774 Advanced Material.
Reward: recruit enough Vanquishers to replace your current regiments and raise 100 Regiments.
Locked – One out of Four Years completed
Personal Attention: King of Battle- Now that you have access to the Royal Basilisk, the most effective human artillery piece of its size that General Drago has ever seen, General Drago would like to greatly increase the number of Avernite Artillery Regiments. He proposes adding another five brigades of artillery to your order of battle.
Time: 3 years,
Cost: 566,600 Thrones, 95,850 Material, 25,560 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 47,215 Thrones, 15,975 Material, 10,650 Promethium.
Reward: Recruit 60 Artillery Regiments, 50 for Avernus and 10 for the Imperial Trust
Locked – One out of Three Years completed
Personal Attention: More Siege Infantry- The recent campaign has show how essential your siege infantry are when Avernus is attacked and that you do not necessarily have enough of them. General Drago would like to double the number of siege infantry on Avernus, raising the number to forty million. He would also raise fifty more brigades to tithe to the Imperial Trust Guard, bringing the number of Avernite Siege Infantry in the Imperial Trust Guard up to an entire Corps.
Time: 3 years
Cost: 21,800,000 Thrones, 3,888,000 Material, 185,100 Promethium, 458 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 486,409 Thrones, 217,280 Material, 73,587 Promethium, 18 Advanced Material.
Reward: Double the number of Siege Infantry, recruit 17 Helltrooper Siege Infantry Regiments and 183 PDF Siege Infantry Regiments, recruit more troops to tithe to the Imperial Trust Guard.

Given how valuable The Well of Urd is both options are equally valid but trying to do both will be futile.
Two Locked Choose One
Construct: Major Refit- Freya has suggested giving your Warp capable Navy a major refit to equip them with many of the advanced components that Archmagos Explorator Tranth has discovered. You are informed that as well as the sensors and point defence systems the weapons, armour and datanet can be upgraded but that the engines and reactor cannot be replaced. This would take up your shipyards for most of the decade but would provide your fleet with a major boost.
Time: 6 years.
Cost: 62,230,000 Thrones, 4,807,000 Material, 312,000 Promethium, 48,670 Advanced Material, 360 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 632,704 Thrones, 108,288 Material, 165,990 Promethium, 497 Advanced Material, 7 Exotic Material.
Reward: Capital Ships equipped with Laser Defence Grid and Advanced Sensors, Capital ships and Escorts have armour replaced, datanet upgraded and weapons systems replaced
Locked – Four out of Five years completed: Expedited
Expand Shipyards- Large as your shipyards are they still are nothing compared to Vanahiem's, which themselves are insufficient to replace losses like those suffered over Midgard in a timely manner. Henry has put forward a plan to continue to increase your Naval production by building another small shipyard .
Time: 5 years. (can be taken multiple times)
Cost: 144,000,000 Thrones, 21,600,000 Material, 10,800,000 Metal, 21,600,000 Promethium, 1,032 Advanced Material, 48 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 34,800,000 Thrones, 5,220,000 Material, 2,610,000 Metal, 5,220,000 Promethium
Reward: 1 new small shipyard can build three more merchantmen at a time, increase to material production, decrease to ship upkeep.
Locked – Three out of Four years completed: Expedited
Orbital Defences: Defence Stations- The natural next step in building defences is to build more Defence Stations. These massive constructions have the firepower and defences to exchange fire with a Grand Cruiser on an equal footing and are threats to even Battleships. Freya wants to build fourteen. This will allow you to position ten in both of your naval centers which will be enough to stop all but the most overwhelming attacks.
Time: 6 years.
Cost: 277,800,000 Thrones, 72,580,000 Material, 21,590,000 Metal, 5,824,000 Promethium, 9,752 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 27,776,000 Thrones, 7,257,600 Material, 2,159,360 Metal, 313,600 Promethium, 590 Advanced Material
Reward: 14 Defence Stations added to the defences of the Avernus System.
Small Minefield: Deiphobe- One of the most effective methods of defending a naval base is the placement of a minefield. Freya would like to begin by placing a small minefield around Deiphobe, limiting the approaches that escorts can make and inflicting some damage on approaching cruisers. She has a whole collection of plans to enlarge or thicken this minefield, increasing the defence it provides.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 64,000,000 Thrones, 12,800,000 Material, 640,000 Promethium, 8,600 Advanced Material
Upkeep per year: 1,600,000 Thrones, 320,000 Material, 16,000 Promethium, 107.5 Advanced Material
Reward: A small, light minefield around Deiphobe
Expand Shipyards- Large as your shipyards are they still are nothing compared to Vanahiem's, which themselves are insufficient to replace losses like those suffered over Midgard in a timely manner. Henry has put forward a plan to continue to increase your Naval production by building another small shipyard .

Upkeep per year: 34,800,000 Thrones, 5,220,000 Material, 2,610,000 Metal, 5,220,000 Promethium
Reward: 1 new small shipyard can build three more merchantmen at a time, increase to material production, decrease to ship upkeep.
Naval Evaluation- Freya would like to have professional Naval Officers from Vanaheim evaluate your navy so you know exactly what condition each ship's crew is in, both so you know if any ships need retraining and so you know if you have any ships with above regular levels of skill.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 14,400,000 Thrones, 144,000 Material, 144,000 Promethium.
Reward: Gain Current Navy datasheet
Formal Education- While Freya has been taught a lot about Naval Command by her brother she lacks a formal education in these matters. She wants to spend three years going though the Naval Academy to change this. As well as increasing her abilities to command the Avernite Navy this would give her a higher level of respect from the professional Naval Officers of the Avernite Navy.
Time:3 years.
Chance of success: 50%
Cost: Free
Reward: Freya attends Naval Academy, +1 Naval Morale, Freya Gains Trait Avernite Naval Academy Graduate, reduces amount of time Freya can spend with you and Syr for its duration (unless you also attend Naval Academy)
Construct: Major Refit- Freya has suggested giving your Warp capable Navy a major refit to equip them with many of the advanced components that Archmagos Explorator Tranth has discovered.

Henry is rather busy with his current projects this year but still has some time to plan for the future. He mentions that Mirkwood is nearly large enough to expand and that he should be able to begin the expansion in a year or two at the most, increasing the defences of your most vulnerable city.
Three Locked Choose None
Juve-Nat Production Factory: All- This year Henry has put forward a plan to build Juve-Nat Production Factories in the remaining cities of Avernus.

He tells you that it is a very good sign that the leaders of the three technological groups were able to talk about their issues without any animosity and have not ruled out sharing more in the future. He has also suggested trying to make contact with one of the Troll High Chiefs in order to reduce the attacks from Trolls.
Choose Two
Contact Trolls- Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has suggested trying to make diplomatic contact with one of the Trollish High Chiefs. If successful this could lead to forming a peace treaty or even alliance with one of the Troll tribes which could prove to be very useful, and lead to some more diplomatic issues in the Imperial Trust.

Reward: More information on chosen planet.
Sound Out (Write In Proposal)- Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has suggested that you sound out the other Governor's about any proposal that you make before the next High Council meeting.

Jane has spent the last year beginning the construction of over a dozen new Psyker Hunter Academies. She tells you that with the recruits she will gain from these academies Avernus will be able to quickly gain enough Psyker Hunters to be able to safety send them off world. She tells you that now that Syr is old enough she is willing to begin instructing Syr in the Way of the Blade.
One Locked Choose One
Build Psyker Hunter Academies: All- This year Jane has suggested that you build more Psyker Hunter Academies, bringing the total up to one in every city on Avernus. This would massively increase the number of Psyker Hunters that can be trained allowing you to quickly reach the point where you can start sending them off world. Jane estimates that around forty thousand Psyker Hunters are needed for Avernus for maximum effect which would take decades to reach with the current training facilities.

Way of the Blade (Syr)- Given that it is currently a rather quiet time for her Jane is willing to spend a bit of time tutoring Syr in the very basics of swordsmanship. Given that Jane is both one of the best swordsmen on Avernus (and in the Nine Worlds) and a skilled teacher, she is the best possible teacher for Syr in this art. Given Syr's age it will take years for her to develop any real skills but on Avernus it is better to begin advanced combat training as soon as possible.
Time: 1 year
Chance of Success: 30% (uses Syrs combat, increases by 5% per year)
Reward: Syr gains Novice Swordsman (+10 to melee rolls)
Tutor Syr (Intrigue)- Given that it is currently a rather quiet time for her Jane is willing to spend a bit of time tutoring Syr in the very basics of her trade. This would greatly held Syr develop the skills in stealth and intrigue that she will need if she ever inherits Avernus from you.
Time: 1 year
Chance of Success: 35%
Reward: Syr gains +1 Intrigue, on critical has a chance of gaining a trait
Hidden Watchers- One of the ways in which you can keep a close watch on the Quartok is to install hidden watchers in Malae, both human and technological. This would allow Jane to ensure that the Quartok are what they seem to be and that they are not doing anything dangerous without making it obvious that they are being watched. If detected this would lead to some major diplomatic issues with the Quartok.

Deepen Spy Network ( Svartalfheim)- While you have a basic spy network in Midgard and Vanaheim it is not particularly comprehensive and does not extend much past local gossip.

Detailed Survey (Escort Cruiser)- The Escort Cruiser is a large light cruiser that is heavily armoured, heavily gunned warship equipped with a massive point defence grid. There are three intact ships of this class: thirty mostly intact, eighty half destroyed and two hundred and sixty mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships are equipped with powerful defences and short range but powerful weapons, but have at best average speed and manoeuvrability.
Reward: Search the intact, mostly intact and half destroyed Escort Cruisers for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Escort Cruiser.
Detailed Survey (Escort Carrier)- The Escort Carrier is similar to an Escort Cruiser but modified to act as a carrier. It retains the heavy armour and point defences of the original design but replaces most of the weaponry with a few lances and several Attack Craft bays; they are most likely designed to act as battlefield carriers. There are two intact ships of this class: thirty mostly intact, eighty half destroyed and a hundred and sixty mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships simply replace the weapons on the previous class with Attack Craft bays and examining them may be a good method of finding intact Attack Craft..
Reward: Search the intact, mostly intact and half destroyed Escort Carriers for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Escort Carrier.
Detailed Survey (Light Cruiser)- The Light Cruiser is a sleek, massively engined warship obviously designed for speed rather then toughness. This ship seems to be designed for the classic Light Cruiser roles of commerce raiding, scouting and skirmishing. There are three intact ships of this class: thirty mostly intact, fifty half destroyed and two hundred and ten mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships are equipped with powerful engines, advanced sensors, torpedoes and long range weaponry but have at best average defences.
Reward: Search the intact, mostly intact and half destroyed Light Cruisers for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Light Cruisers.
Detailed Survey (Light Carrier)- The Light Carrier is a carrier variant of the Light Cruiser, replacing most of the weaponry and all of the torpedoes with several Attack Craft bays. This design was most likely built to provide support for the raiding and skirmishing task groups as well as scouting. There are two intact ships of this class: twenty mostly intact, thirty half destroyed and a hundred and thirty mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships simply replace the weapons on the previous class with Attack Craft bays and examining them may be a good method of finding intact Attack Craft.
Reward: Search the intact, mostly intact and half destroyed Light Carriers for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Light Carriers.'
Detailed Survey (Escort Frigate)- The Escort Frigate are heavily armoured gunships with advanced defensive systems and underpowered engines. They are equipped with powerful weapons batteries and were most likely designed to act as escorts to the capital ships. There are eight intact ships of this class: eight hundred and twenty-five mostly intact, one thousand five hundred half destroyed and three thousand four hundred mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships are the escort version of the first cruiser and have similar technologies.
Reward: Search the intact and mostly intact Escort Frigate for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Escort Destroyer.
Detailed Survey (Hunter Frigate)- The Hunter Frigate is a variant of the Heavy Gunship that replaces the weapons batteries with a powerful lance. A group of this form of escort would be able to quickly bring down many capital ships and they most likely acted as hunter-killer teams in the larger battle, targeting heavy cruisers and battleships. There are seven intact ships of this class: eight hundred and twenty-five mostly intact, one thousand five hundred half destroyed and three thousand four hundred mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships are very similar to the previous class except for the weapons loadout.
Reward: Search the intact and mostly intact Hunter Frigate for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Hunter Destroyer.
Detailed Survey (Raider)- The Raiders combine incredibly powerful engines and light builds in order to maximise their speed and maneuverability. They are equipped with torpedoes and are most likely designed for harassment and skirmishing rather then head to head battle. There are ten intact ships of this class: one thousand and eighty mostly intact, two thousand half destroyed and four thousand six hundred mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships are equipped with with very powerful engines, torpedoes and average at best defences.
Reward: Search the intact and mostly intact Raiders for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Raiders.
Detailed Survey (Shadow Destroyer)- The Shadow Destroyer is a small stealth based escort. It is equipped with small engines that minimise emissions and is covered in some sort of coating that absorbs radiation. On the other hand this ship has by far the weakest defensive and offensive capabilities of the escort types, though Archmagos Tranth would not be surprised to find that they often had exotic torpedoes in their single torpedo tube. There are five intact ships of this class, five hundred and forty mostly intact, one thousand half destroyed and two thousand three hundred mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships are equipped with advanced stealth technology and may contain powerful torpedoes.
Reward: Search the intact, mostly intact and half destroyed Shadow Destroyers for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Shadow Destroyer.
Detailed Survey (Escort Destroyer)- The Escort Destroyer is an all rounder design, with a mix of fire-power, speed and defences. This class is generally armed with long range weapon batteries and was most likely the cheap, expendable escort that was tasked with engaging enemy escorts. There are fifteen intact ships of this class, one thousand, six hundred and twenty mostly intact, three thousand half destroyed and six thousand nine hundred mostly destroyed. From what Tranth can determine these ships do not have any really new technologies.
Reward: Search the intact and mostly intact Escort Destroyers for archeotech and get more detail on the capabilities of the Escort Destroyer.
Detailed Survey (Hunter Destroyer)- The Hunter Destroyer is a variant of the Escort Destroyer that replaces the long range weapon batteries with powerful, short range weapons batteries.

While disappointed that the Congregation Asps biomancy is unlikely to be useful Headmaster Ridcully is accepting of the fact that some of the wildlife's powers will prove to be impossible to make use of. He is strongly lobbying to begin his study of Psychic Frequencies saying that the improvements to Neo-Astropaths that this field of study may lead to will prove essential as Astropaths start to die off.

The High Council Meeting was definitely a success despite the fact that most proposals were delayed. One issue that you realised during the meeting is the fact that the Mechanicus still considers itself the only authority on technology. This attitude is why they are refusing to share any more secrets with the Artisan Guilds and why Champion Surt fears to share any more of his secrets. Changing this attitude by even the smallest amount will be hard.

Just a note - we paid it all off. They owe us 56 Cr now.
Ok, so, two major choices we have to make here IMO, dealing with our Double Down.
Now, we have a Beta taking the trials next year. That's a big deal, but Ridcully has lobbied strongly to start the Psychic Frequency research ASAP and I'm generally inclined to listen to him when he wants something strongly. If we do it this year, we should definitely do the double down. And even if we do, Xavier will be available to do tutoring next year since his current project will finish this year.
That said, if we do that, we may want to hold off on Troll diplomacy for a year so we can double down on it then. There's a +15 diplomacy bonus on that, so it's only a 65% chance of success. Mind you, if we fail, we can try again with a different tribe, and we could get the Divination reroll as well.
Anyone have any thoughts?

with how hard he is lobbying for it, we should probably start on the frequencies and give it the DD. 65% is fine, especially on an action that can be done more than once and is only one year.
Ok, here's my plan, subject to change as usual, but this is a smaller vote than normal due to most things being locked.
Void Command
[X] Expand Shipyards
-[X] Expedite: Expand Shipyards
We need to continue with this. I think we could build a minefield next turn if we want, but we need to be sure we have at least one of these going at a time. Or we could build Defense Cruisers, though those take a while to build. It's going to take a while to actually build reverse engineer the ships in the graveyard to actually build them anyways, from the looks of things.
Diplomacy
[X] Power Armoured Exchange: Part One
[X] Contact Trolls
We asked for the Power Armor Exchange, so let's go through with it.
For the Trolls, we have a 65% chance given the Diplomacy bonus. We might have some other bonus due to our translators in the Ecclesiarchy, but we'll see. The Divination reroll might be used, if needed.
Arbites
[X] Tutor Syr (Intrigue)
We can wait another year to start blade training, giving it a better chance next year. Let's just increase general Intrigue for this year if we can.
AdMech
[X] Detailed Survey (Escort Destroyer)
[X] Detailed Survey (Hunter Frigate)
[X] In-depth Examination (Kraken)
I've said before I believe these two are the best ones to start with, so that's what I'm voting for. EDIT - changed the Escort Frigate to the Hunter, as our naval people want only one of the two picks and one of the Hunters.
Avernus has no terrestrial navy for obvious reasons. As such, getting some Krakens would give us something like it.
Astra Telepathica
[X] Research: Psychic Frequencies Part One
-[X] Double Down: Research: Psychic Frequencies Part One
Personal
[X] Tutor Syr (Administration)
Family time will just have to be put on the backseat this year as the High Council meeting is taking up a slot (since it didn't last year like it should have) - Freya will understand. Let's try to get Syr's Administration up again.

The backlog in the Mechanicus is getting absolutely ridiculous. And we've barely begin to investigate Avernus itself!
We may need some sort of "adeptus Avernus" that is specialized in the investigation of the planet.

I agree with this
Void Command
[X] Expand Shipyards
-[X] Expedite: Expand Shipyards
Next turn we have two options open. One of which will have to go to shipbuilding of some type. Naval Academy is a valid choice if we send Rotbart there as well. Start spending personal actions on the Navy. But that has to wait two more turns so that Rotbart can finish his military actions first.
Diplomacy
[X] Power Armoured Exchange: Part One
[X] Contact Trolls
We asked for the Power Armor Exchange, so let's go through with it. Let's also attempt the Trolls. Next turn we can sound out other systems about importing Avernite Psyker Hunters.
Arbites
[X] Tutor Syr (Intrigue)
We can wait another year to start blade training, giving it a better chance next year. Let's just increase general Intrigue for this year if we can. Still hoping for a crit.
AdMech
[X] Ship Graveyard: Ordinance
[X] Detailed Survey (Hunter Frigate)
[X] In-depth Examination (Kraken)
I think the Hunter Frigate is the most important, as it will allow us to take down capital ships. It's going to be a long time before we can build anything bigger than a cruiser, so we need something to fill the hole in allowing us to take out enemy capital ships.
Stealth Shuttle for a similar reason. Our boarding forces are some of the best, and a unique strength of the Avernite Navy. Stealth Assault Shuttles will make for a huge boost in our combat abilities. Plus they can be built without requiring a shipbuilding slot (of which we only have one), so our second Navy action next year can be spent on it.
EDIT: Turns out the Assault craft is actually a lander not a boarding ship. So decided to explore the ship graveyard for ordinance. It should provide a source of additional weapon types and hopefully some assault craft for boarding ships as that is one of our unique strengths.

I do agree with you kind of. I'm more surprised that the Ad Mec has not gotten another action with how much we have expanded their facilities in the past few decades. we have had the same number of actions for them since at least chapter 20. but i do understand why we are limited. We will eventually work our way through the backlog (this turn +5 more until the shift in scale to 5 years a turn) and the more actions Durin lets us take, the more he will have to come up with later, increasing his workload.
an "adeptus avernus" does not really make sense because the explorators already exist, and they would be a subset of them that would eventually go obsolete and need to be dissolved.
