There are probably a few prerequisites before we start doing that. For one, we'll want to figure out how to get them able to accessing the Warp in the way that the Avernus wildlife does - that will make Chaos corruption all but impossible, apparently.

If we were to start breeding psykers, we'll just take DNA from the two parents and grow the products in a lab. No need to do anything Slaaneshi.

bad idea
I think that being connected to the Mother's soul is a rather important part of the gestation process in this case. I don't even want to think about technological assistance for at least another two centuries.

Undoubtedly, but it's perhaps a bit better than breeding our psykers in the traditional way (at least as far as large-scale operations go).
Source?
Why should we do any of this?
Just let them marry and have children as they wish.
Just let them marry and have children as they wish.
This, I don't see the need to go all in with pyskers. Its shiny crap that will completely screw us if something goes wrong, just let it develop normally (which is already like 40-50x faster than normal).

We shouldn't. We're just talking hypotheticals.

Really, people, we have enough minor Psykers to make a fucking Regiment. Why do you want more?

We still need cyclonic torpedoes to perform Exterminatus.

Probably because trained psykers are huge force multipliers. Just look back at the space combat against the dark eldar and see how much of a bonus a group of diviners gave us. Then note how effective Xavier was even half-trained against the necron invasion. Plus, they're an enormous asset in infiltration and intelligence gathering. If most regiments had a major battle-psyker with a specialization in a relevant field plus a few minor battle psykers attached, their combat potential would be substantially higher.
This isn't to say I agree with most of the ideas for trying to artificially increase the population of psykers. We've already got as many as we can train/house effectively, and I do NOT want to start skimping on the training/housing now. Once we've trained enough that the psykers in training are a minority and have a good start on improving our understanding and treatment of psykers we can start looking for ways to help Avernus along in making more psykers. And even then I think cloning/breeding programs are stupid.
24 hours have passed since the warning, so final tally. Top plan has the majority.

So here's a partial update to my material. The Tabletop needs rules for Helguard Scout squads, what Pilot Armor does, and the revised pricing of Vanquishers. The Super Heavy and Aeronotica have received alteration for improved coherency and clarity. Efforts to stat Pre-Fab Forts are ongoing. For the Trust, I am working on give Musphelheim a buff to Meltas, and I am working on replacing Svartlehiem's Plasma with something else. Coverage for Ad Mech forces is still non-existent, and is likely to continue to be that way for some time. I am not even going to think about Inquisition.

Turn Sixty-One Results
This year nine hundred and ten thousand thousand troopers fell defending their homes from the local wildlife while another twenty thousand men fell fighting cults.
Only 320,000 troopers fell in Avernus' Spine this year due to the holes in Dis' defences having being totally repaired.
Another 150,000 men died defending the Azure Islands from the wildlife this year as attacks steadied out.
120,000 men were killed in Linden this year as attacks continued to decrease.
The number of attacks in the Everglades increased significantly to a still low 70,000 troopers dying this year.
Eleven armour regiments fell to the wildlife in Elysium this year,half again the number that fell the previous year.
Aridia calmed down significantly this year with only 120,000 troopers falling in battle.
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 – Eight out of Nine Years completed
The training of the final wave of Helguard and Helltroopers is reaching its final stages this year. The Avernite troopers are starting to reach the incredible levels of skill and coordination that Avernite elites are known for and are now only a few months off from being ready to be deployed. General Drago is glad that this project is nearing its end as it has devoured a lot of his attention over the last decade.
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
Complete
This year the Leman Russ Vanquisher crews assigned to your main army were fully integrated back into their units. It took a while for their commanders and comrades to get used to their new rolls but the transition was fully made by the end of the year. General Drago tells you that your forces now have significantly more anti-tank punch then most enemies will expect and will be a greater threat to superheavies.
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.
Complete
The First Helltrooper Vanquisher Division completed its training late this year after almost a year of wargames. During these wargames they fought against and beside all of the forces Avernus can field including the Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus, which they proved able to bring down with far less difficulty then any ordinary armour division. General Drago is glad that they are combat ready saying they will prove invaluable if Garkill returns to Avernus, given that he is certain to bring at least as many Gargants as he fielded last year and probably even more.
Personal Attention: Scout Regiment: Planning- With the discovery of Scout Power Armour it will become possible to equip elite Light Infantry forces with Power Armour in an affordable manner. General Drago would like to spend a few years working out the best composition for such a force. This will allow you to field large numbers of elite skirmishers and will provide you with a deadly harassment force and answer to enemy harassment.
Time: 2 years
Chance of Success: 60%

Over the last year you have been working with some of the better light infantry officers on figuring out the best composition of a Light Infantry Regiment equipped with Scout Power Armour. You have made a decent degree of progress and will be ready to begin training these regiments next year.

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
The integral sections of the new shipyard have been taking shape this year and most of the required machinery installed. Next year the final few portions of machinery will need to be installed, the reactor will need to be brought online along with the life-support systems. Freya estimates that this will take between seven and nine months, allowing the shipyards to be fully operational by the end of the year.
Construct: Major Refit: Defence Monitors- Avernus has over a hundred and forty Defence Monitors making up a major portion of its System Defence Force. Freya would like to take a few years to refit them with the advanced technologies recently discovered. Doing this will greatly increase the combat power of your Defence Monitors, making them an even more formidable force.

Upkeep per year: 1,385,920 Thrones, 277,184 Material, 138,592 Promethium, 139 Advanced Material, 3 Exotic Material.
Reward: all 142 Defence Monitors refitted with up to date technologies.
Locked – Two out of four years completed
The second group of Defence Monitors were fully refitted this year and the third, constituting of thirty-five Defence Monitors has recently entered the shipyards. Freya tells you that half of the Defence Monitors have been refitted and that it will take another two years to refit the remaining half.
Expand Naval Academy- In a few years your shipyards will be able to begin repairing the hulked warships in the ship graveyard. This will be far quicker then building new ships from scratch and you will be able to repair warships faster then you can crew them. Freya would like to vastly expand the Naval Academy in order to provide this crew.

Reward: Navel Academy Expanded, can train three hundred thousand crew a year.
Locked - Two out of Five years competed
As the physical expansion of the Naval Academy was completed the training of its new staff has begun. Freya tells you that this will most likely take another two years due to the sheer number of new teachers that are currently being trained.

The population growth of Avernus increased to 2.43% this year as the last remnants of the plague are wiped out.
This year the population of Dis grew by 0.44% as the weaknesses in its defences were closed.
The population of Avernus' Spine grew by 0.74% despite a rise in Blink Spider numbers.
The population of The Azure Islands grew by 3.67% due to the plague being totally wiped out.
Linden's population growth increased to 2.53% this year for no simple reason.
The ending of the plague in the Everglades allowed the population growth to increase to 3.9% this year.
The population of Elysium grew by 2.76% this year, continuing to prove that Elysium is well named.
The plague in Aridia was wiped out allowing the population to grow by 3.47%.
Upgrade Defences: Dis and Hollin- This year Henry has put forward an plan to further upgrade the defences of both Dis and Hollin. The improvements that he has suggested are extensive and would approximately double the fire-power of these Hives' defensive weapons as well as strengthening the walls, adding more void shield generators, improving the internal defences and countless other improvements. It would be an expensive and time consuming task carrying out these upgrades, particularly if you follow Henry's plan and upgrade all the cities on Avernus, but it would greatly increase the difficulty of taking an Avernite city.

Reward: upgrade the defences of Dis and Garden Grove to Super-Heavy
Locked – Four out of Six years completed
The work on upgrading the defences of Dis and Hollin continues this year with significant progress being made. Several portions of the outer wall approach completion even as scores of new Macrocannons begin to be built. These Macrocannons will be able to cause massive damage to any attacking army, particularly to any Titans among the attackers.
Enlarge Factories: Avernus – Henry has a plan to enlarge the factories of every city in Avernus, which would increase your total production capacity by around 60%. He tells you that your current mining industry is more then sufficient to allow this expansion which would be the first step on bringing your production capacity in line with the rest of your industrial capacity. Henry considers this to be of low priority.
Time: 6 years.
Cost: 16,680,000 Thrones, 3,337,000 Material, 3,337,000 Metal, 667,400 Promethium, 340 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 6,673,920 Thrones, 667,392 Metal, 133,478 Promethium, 17 Advanced Material.
Reward: enlarges factories over Avernus, +1,840,000 Production Capacity, +300% base production capacity (increase of +100%).
Locked – Four out of Five years completed: Expedited
The factories near completion after another year of hard work, with all major components having been installed and needing only to be fine tuned for the factories to be operational. The workers' training also nears completion and Henry estimates that the factories will be operational in ten months time.
Expand City: Mirkwood- Mirkwood in Lidon is your last city that can be called regional and is therefore a defensive liability. It has had its population grow to the point where it can easily be expanded which would help reduce this liability. Henry considers this to be of high priority.
Time: 2 years.

Reward: Expand Mirkwood into a Minor City.
Complete
Henry finished the expansion of Mirkwood into a minor city this year, bringing your last city up to minor status. While Mirkwood is still on the small side for a minor city Henry has several plans to encourage immigration from other cities in Lindon to Mirkwood in an effort to change this. You are relieved to hear that the largest weakness in the cities of Avernus has been substantially reinforced. Now all you need to do is finish the expansion of the Unseen University and further expand Yphax and Mirkwood and your entire population will be safe from almost any invasion force.
This year the population of Dis grew by 0.44% as the weaknesses in its defences were closed.
The population of Avernus' Spine grew by 0.74% despite a rise in Blink Spider numbers.
The population of The Azure Islands grew by 3.67% due to the plague being totally wiped out.
Linden's population growth increased to 2.53% this year for no simple reason.
The ending of the plague in the Everglades allowed the population growth to increase to 3.9% this year.
The population of Elysium grew by 2.76% this year, continuing to prove that Elysium is well named.
The plague in Aridia was wiped out allowing the population to grow by 3.47%.
Upgrade Defences: Dis and Hollin- This year Henry has put forward an plan to further upgrade the defences of both Dis and Hollin. The improvements that he has suggested are extensive and would approximately double the fire-power of these Hives' defensive weapons as well as strengthening the walls, adding more void shield generators, improving the internal defences and countless other improvements. It would be an expensive and time consuming task carrying out these upgrades, particularly if you follow Henry's plan and upgrade all the cities on Avernus, but it would greatly increase the difficulty of taking an Avernite city.

Peace Treaty (Spiky Basalt)- Now that you have contacted a tribe of Trolls Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan suggests forming a peace treaty with them. From what he can gather High Chief Spiky Basalt is open to the idea though it is likely that he will want something out of the process. A peace treaty with the Trolls will greatly reduce losses suffered in Avernus' Spine and allow your military to focus on other threats.

Peace treaty with Southern Trolls
Despite several near disasters the talks with High Chief Spiky Basalt were successful and he was convinced to have warriors of his tribe stop attacking humans. In return you agreed to stay out of several areas of the mountains and to provide his tribe with food, a lot by his standards not much by yours. According to Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan, High Chief Spiky Basalt does not like humans and is unlikely to ever like humans but sees how this treaty benefits his tribe and so will most likely hold to it. This should greatly reduce if not stop the Troll attacks in the vicinity of Dis and the Lonely Citadel.
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.

The number of Abomination Cultists continued to slowly increase this year. On average it takes eleven days to locate an outer circle cultist and five days for an inner circle cultist, slightly worse than last year.
Of the hundred and two major Psykers located this year twenty of them were Chaotic.
Fourteen of the Chaotic Psykers consisting of one Delta-level, five Epsilon-levels and eight Zeta-levels were killed without causing any significant levels of damage this year.
The first Chaos Psyker to cause problems was a Epsilon-level Daemonologist in The Fens whose summoned Furys killed three thousand five hundred militiamen, two hundred and sixty PDF Troopers, four Witch Hunters and two Witch Sniffers before being taken out by a militia lascannon.
The second Chaos Psyker to cause was a Zeta-level Biomancer in Lemnos who killed one hundred PDF Troopers, twenty Helltroopers and a Witch Sniffer before being taken out by massed Impaler fire.
The third Chaos Psyker found this year was a Zeta-level Telekinetic in Arbor killed eighty PDF Troopers and a Witch Hunter before being taken out by multilaser fire.
The fourth Chaos Psyker found this year was a Epsilon-level Biomancer in Beirut who killed a thousand militiamen and four Witch Hunters before being cut down.
The final Chaos Psykers found this year were a pair of Epsilon-levels in Garden Grove, one a Telepath and one a Daemonologist. The telepath managed to mind control a large force of soldiers which with the support of the Daemonologist's Angyls caused devastation. By the time the conflict was over a hundred and thirty thousand militiamen, one thousand eight hundred PDF Troopers, three hundred and forty Helltroopers, forty-two Witch Hunters, fourteen Psyker Hunters, four Witch Sniffers, sixteen minor Battle Psykers and one major Battle Psyker (Zeta-level Daemonologist) had fallen. This force was eventually destroyed by a large Helguard task force supported by several hundred Battle Psykers.
The untainted major Psykers included one Beta-level, one Gamma-level, six Delta-levels, twenty Epsilon-levels and fifty-four Zeta-levels.
Four thousand, five hundred and fifteen minor Psykers were located by the Witch Sniffers this year, continuing the trend of increasing numbers found every year.
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.

He believes that his latest prototypes will be able to do the job and has turned his attention to ways of subduing a kraken long enough to implant them. He has created a combination of several specially tailored knock out drugs and massive calibre weapons to fire them from which he believes will do the job. Next he will need to form a team able to subdue the next kraken to appear.

Survey Ship Graveyard: Cruisers- There are the remains of one thousand two hundred and sixty warships between three and five kilometres long in the ship graveside. These ships were most likely the Cruisers of the Dark Age of Technology and are likely to contain many useful technological secrets, most of which are the correct size for your current ships to use. There are two hundred and forty mostly intact, four hundred and twenty half destroyed and five hundred and seventy nearly totally destroyed.
Reward: Information on the Cruiser sized wrecks, more options
Complete
This year Archmagos Explorator Tranth's teams began their next survey of the ship graveyard, focusing on the cruisers. As expected many of the cruisers found were Helheim Pattern Defence Cruisers but there were many other designs. In total nineteen classes of cruisers were located in the graveyard, split between four types.
The most common cruiser in the ship graveyard is the four point eight kilometre long Helheim Pattern Defence Cruiser, which you already have the design for. There are no intact ships of this class, twenty-eight mostly intact, fifty-one half destroyed and sixty-five mostly destroyed. Given that he already has the design Archmagos Explorator Tranth will only need to conduct a brief search for archeotech before beginning repairs. There were five other variations of the Defence Cruiser, all derived from the same basic design.
The second variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapon batteries with an additional four lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, eleven mostly intact, twenty half destroyed and sixteen mostly destroyed. Given that he already knows how to build all of the components, Archmagos Explorator Tranth will need far less time to learn this design then most other ships.
The third variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the lances with eight torpedo tubes but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, five mostly intact, fifteen half destroyed and twenty mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the Helheim Pattern torpedoes which are the one unknown component of the ship.
The fourth variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapon batteries and half the lances with attack craft bays but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, ten mostly intact, eleven half destroyed and twenty-one mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the Helheim Pattern attack craft and attack craft bays which are the unknown components of the ship.
The fifth variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapons with short range, overpowered weapons batteries but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, eight mostly intact, five half destroyed and fifteen mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the overpowered short range weapons batteries that this variety is equipped with.
The sixth and final variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapons with an unknown type of energy weapon but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, one mostly intact, four half destroyed and nine mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the unknown energy weapons that this ship is equipped with.
The next major class of cruiser is a heavily armoured, well defended cruiser five kilometres long. These ships have adequate at best speed and manoeuvrability but make up for it with fire-power and defences. The most common ship of this type is primarily armed with several long range weapons batteries and a pair of lances. There are no intact ships of this class, eighteen mostly intact, thirty-seven half destroyed and fifty-four mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful ship of the line and would be worth investigating.
The next most common ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with an additional six lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, thirteen mostly intact, twenty-five half destroyed and thirty-six mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful lance boat and would be worth investigating.
The third ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries with powerful short range fire-power. There are no intact ships of this class, sixteen mostly intact, seventeen half destroyed and eighteen mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful linebreaker and would be worth investigating.
The fourth and final ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries with a collection of torpedo tubes. There are no intact ships of this class, ten mostly intact, eleven half destroyed and nineteen mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful torpedo boat and would be worth investigating.
The third major class of cruiser is a fast, well armed ship four point three kilometres long. These ships are very fast and manoeuvrable with good firepower but lack the armour and shielding of the previous class. The first ship of this type is armed with a collection of long range weapons batteries and a single long range lance. There are no intact ships of this class, twenty mostly intact, thirty-one half destroyed and thirty-eight mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful raider and would be worth investigating.
The second ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with an additional five long range lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, fourteen mostly intact, twenty-nine half destroyed and forty-four mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful hunter killer and would be worth investigating.
The third ship of this variety replaces the most of the weapon batteries and the lance with half a dozen torpedo tubes. There are no intact ships of this class, sixteen mostly intact, twenty-nine half destroyed and forty-four mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a fast torpedo boat and would be worth investigating.
The fourth and final ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with an additional long range lance and several attack craft bays. There are no intact ships of this class, nine mostly intact, eighteen half destroyed and twenty-one mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a raider carrier and would be worth investigating.
The fourth major class of cruiser is a fast, well armed ship three and a half kilometres long. These ships seem to strike a balance between firepower and manoeuvrability and are almost certainly the cheapest to build. The first ship of this type is armed with a collection of medium range weapons batteries. There are no intact ships of this class, twenty-five mostly intact, forty half destroyed and fifty-seven mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap ship of the line and would be worth investigating.
The second ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with six lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, eight mostly intact, twenty-three half destroyed and thirty-six mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap lance boat and would be worth investigating.
The third ship of this variety replaces most of the the weapon batteries several attack craft bays. There are no intact ships of this class, thirteen mostly intact, twenty-nine half destroyed and thirty-nine mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap carrier and would be worth investigating.
The fourth ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries with powerful short range fire-power. There are no intact ships of this class, thirteen mostly intact, twenty-eight half destroyed and ten mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap linebreaker and would be worth investigating.
The fifth and final ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries the same unknwon energy weapons found on some of the Defence Cruisers. There are no intact ships of this class, two mostly intact, seven half destroyed and eight mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a decent way to discover more about the unknown energy weapons that this ship is equipped with.

Magos Biologis Saren has spent the last three years creating several cybernetics implants that he hopes will be able to control a kraken. He believes that his latest prototypes will be able to do the job and has turned his attention to ways of subduing a kraken long enough to implant them. He has created a combination of several specially tailored knock out drugs and massive calibre weapons to fire them from which he believes will do the job. Next he will need to form a team able to subdue the next kraken to appear.
Double Down: Reverse Engineer Component: Advanced Automation- Both the Escort Destroyer and the Hunter Frigate have very advanced automation systems, which allow them to run with a third the crew of a Imperial warship the same size. You will need to reverse engineer this before you can build either.

This year Archmagos Explorator Tranth and his team began the process of reverse engineering the advanced automation systems of the Helheim Pattern Escorts. He has been making a good degree of progress and tells you that he will have finished by the end of next year.
Survey Ship Graveyard: Cruisers- There are the remains of one thousand two hundred and sixty warships between three and five kilometres long in the ship graveside. These ships were most likely the Cruisers of the Dark Age of Technology and are likely to contain many useful technological secrets, most of which are the correct size for your current ships to use. There are two hundred and forty mostly intact, four hundred and twenty half destroyed and five hundred and seventy nearly totally destroyed.
Reward: Information on the Cruiser sized wrecks, more options
Complete
This year Archmagos Explorator Tranth's teams began their next survey of the ship graveyard, focusing on the cruisers. As expected many of the cruisers found were Helheim Pattern Defence Cruisers but there were many other designs. In total nineteen classes of cruisers were located in the graveyard, split between four types.
The most common cruiser in the ship graveyard is the four point eight kilometre long Helheim Pattern Defence Cruiser, which you already have the design for. There are no intact ships of this class, twenty-eight mostly intact, fifty-one half destroyed and sixty-five mostly destroyed. Given that he already has the design Archmagos Explorator Tranth will only need to conduct a brief search for archeotech before beginning repairs. There were five other variations of the Defence Cruiser, all derived from the same basic design.
The second variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapon batteries with an additional four lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, eleven mostly intact, twenty half destroyed and sixteen mostly destroyed. Given that he already knows how to build all of the components, Archmagos Explorator Tranth will need far less time to learn this design then most other ships.
The third variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the lances with eight torpedo tubes but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, five mostly intact, fifteen half destroyed and twenty mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the Helheim Pattern torpedoes which are the one unknown component of the ship.
The fourth variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapon batteries and half the lances with attack craft bays but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, ten mostly intact, eleven half destroyed and twenty-one mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the Helheim Pattern attack craft and attack craft bays which are the unknown components of the ship.
The fifth variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapons with short range, overpowered weapons batteries but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, eight mostly intact, five half destroyed and fifteen mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the overpowered short range weapons batteries that this variety is equipped with.
The sixth and final variety of Defence Cruiser replaces the weapons with an unknown type of energy weapon but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, one mostly intact, four half destroyed and nine mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a good way to discover more about the unknown energy weapons that this ship is equipped with.
The next major class of cruiser is a heavily armoured, well defended cruiser five kilometres long. These ships have adequate at best speed and manoeuvrability but make up for it with fire-power and defences. The most common ship of this type is primarily armed with several long range weapons batteries and a pair of lances. There are no intact ships of this class, eighteen mostly intact, thirty-seven half destroyed and fifty-four mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful ship of the line and would be worth investigating.
The next most common ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with an additional six lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, thirteen mostly intact, twenty-five half destroyed and thirty-six mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful lance boat and would be worth investigating.
The third ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries with powerful short range fire-power. There are no intact ships of this class, sixteen mostly intact, seventeen half destroyed and eighteen mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful linebreaker and would be worth investigating.
The fourth and final ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries with a collection of torpedo tubes. There are no intact ships of this class, ten mostly intact, eleven half destroyed and nineteen mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful torpedo boat and would be worth investigating.
The third major class of cruiser is a fast, well armed ship four point three kilometres long. These ships are very fast and manoeuvrable with good firepower but lack the armour and shielding of the previous class. The first ship of this type is armed with a collection of long range weapons batteries and a single long range lance. There are no intact ships of this class, twenty mostly intact, thirty-one half destroyed and thirty-eight mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful raider and would be worth investigating.
The second ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with an additional five long range lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, fourteen mostly intact, twenty-nine half destroyed and forty-four mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a powerful hunter killer and would be worth investigating.
The third ship of this variety replaces the most of the weapon batteries and the lance with half a dozen torpedo tubes. There are no intact ships of this class, sixteen mostly intact, twenty-nine half destroyed and forty-four mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a fast torpedo boat and would be worth investigating.
The fourth and final ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with an additional long range lance and several attack craft bays. There are no intact ships of this class, nine mostly intact, eighteen half destroyed and twenty-one mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a raider carrier and would be worth investigating.
The fourth major class of cruiser is a fast, well armed ship three and a half kilometres long. These ships seem to strike a balance between firepower and manoeuvrability and are almost certainly the cheapest to build. The first ship of this type is armed with a collection of medium range weapons batteries. There are no intact ships of this class, twenty-five mostly intact, forty half destroyed and fifty-seven mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap ship of the line and would be worth investigating.
The second ship of this variety replaces the weapon batteries with six lances but is otherwise identical. There are no intact ships of this class, eight mostly intact, twenty-three half destroyed and thirty-six mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap lance boat and would be worth investigating.
The third ship of this variety replaces most of the the weapon batteries several attack craft bays. There are no intact ships of this class, thirteen mostly intact, twenty-nine half destroyed and thirty-nine mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap carrier and would be worth investigating.
The fourth ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries with powerful short range fire-power. There are no intact ships of this class, thirteen mostly intact, twenty-eight half destroyed and ten mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this ship seems to be a cheap linebreaker and would be worth investigating.
The fifth and final ship of this variety replaces the weapons batteries the same unknwon energy weapons found on some of the Defence Cruisers. There are no intact ships of this class, two mostly intact, seven half destroyed and eight mostly destroyed. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that this would be a decent way to discover more about the unknown energy weapons that this ship is equipped with.

Research: Psychic Frequencies Part One- Headmaster Ridcully's investigation of the Hive Mind of Congregation Asps found that Psychic Frequencies are a rather important topic. Currently little is known about this field, on Avernus anyway, and Headmaster Ridcully would like to spend a few years investigating them. This will be the first step of a long term project that will greatly increase your understanding of Psychic Powers and the Warp.

Headmaster Ridcully's studies into Psychic Frequencies have continued this year with a moderate degree of success. He has made several more discoveries about what effects a person's Psychic Frequency by finding that significant events in someone's life can lead to a long term effect on their Psychic Frequency, long after after they stopped regularly thinking. He learnt this by discovering that those psykers who had a parent die in front of them while they were young all have similarities in their Psychic Frequencys and has confirmed that several other events, such as fighting in a war, can also have long term effects. This year he made little progress in his discovery on what effect similar Psychic Frequencies has but he has determined the rather unsurprising fact that Telepathy, Divination and Biomancy are harder to use on or in conjunction with a Psyker with a very different Psychic Frequency then you.
Expand Unseen University: Regional City- The Unseen University is currently expected to be filled to its capacity within the next few years. Primaris Xavier could oversee the beginning of its final expansion immediately.

Dem ships. I wonder what would happen if you took pre Abomination Terra, and threw all this fleet running full-up at it. Honestly not sure Terra would win, given how ridonk these ships are.
Syr continues to not want to deal with paperwork, and becomes even more effective at getting away from her bodyguards. Saren continues to earn his grant, and Klovis-Ultan barely passes his Troll diplomacy attempt.
The Ancients got A LOT of mileage out of the Defense Cruiser chassis didn't they.
