The Men of Stone are stationary constructs, being built into a large core that can be hooked into a larger system. The history from Muspelheim suggests that one use was to install them to act as the 'minds' of larger star ships. The specifications indicate a frankly absurd amount of processing power, dwarfing that available to even the Machine Spirits of Imperator Titans by multiple orders of magnitude.

just finished First Councilor Aryz's datasheet
Age: 1,527 years

M: 15+24=39
I:15+14=29
A:16+9=25
L: 22+11=33
P:17+11=30
D:15+6=21 (16 when dealing with Imperial Remnants)
C: 15+31=47

Quartok- (+1L, +2C, +10 with ranged weapons, -30 in melee, -3 Diplomacy with Imperial Remnants, Imperial Remnants can't benefit from his martial or morale skills or traits, harder to kill)- First Councilor Aryz is a Quartok and has all of advantages and disadvantages that that implies.
Quartok Elder- (+4I, +4A, +5L, +5C, +3 to all other stats, can carry larger weapons and armour, harder to kill, +2 Quartok Morale)-First Councilor Aryz is a Quartok Elder, with all the expedience and strength that that provides. In his fifteen hundred years of life has has seen and done much, gaining a wealth of experience that no human posses. In war the sheer strength that his four meter tall frame provides is dangerous, made far more deadly when combined with the skills that he he honed over fifteen hundred years of battle.
Red Tribe (+1M, +4C, -1L, -1D, -1I)- First Councilor Aryz was born into the Red Tribe when the tribes were separate nations. As such he grew among the most warlike and savage of the tribes of the Quartok and was shaped by his culture.

From the ranks (+3M, +4C -1D, -1I, -2L)- In his time as a soldier First Councilor Aryz joined rose from warrior, the lowest rank in his tribes military to being one of the most senior Quartok Warleaders, Generals, alive. This experience has left him with a welt of combat experience but lacking the etiquette that more formally trained officers posses.
Even Death Fears Ancient Soldiers (+6M, +5I, +2A, +2P, +2L, +5C, far less likely to die from anything, +20 to morale for all forces under him)- First Councilor Aryz joined his tribes army shortly after reaching adulthood and has been intimately involved in every major war the Quartok have fought since. Given that this stretches almost fifteen centuries and two wars that almost brought the Quartok to extinction he has proven his ability to survive when countless others die.
First Harbinger of Death (+3M, +5I, +2P, +4C, +1M against Garkill, +20 to all rolls made against Orks, +10 to all rolls made against deamons, +20 to all rolls made when defending, harassing or ambushing, +10 to all morale rolls by forces under his command, +2 Quartok Morale)- First Councillor Aryz led his people in a defensive action against the Orks of Waaagh Garkill and random demonic incursions for over two years on the Hulk "Death's Harbinger". Despite their massive casualties this is one of the most impressive military achievements that you have ever heard of given the sheer numbers of Orks and deamons that his poeple wer facing on their own ground.
Witness to the Apocalypse (+2M, +1C, -1D, -2P, additional -2 diplomacy when dealing with Imperial Remnants, +50 morale to troops under his direct command)- First Councillor Aryz remembers the fall of his people and the destruction of their homeworld. This memory gves him and undying hatred for the Imperium of Man and a determination to never let such a fate befall his people again.
'Glad he's on our side' (+3C, +15 to morale of all allies on the battlefield when he starts personally fighting this effects humans, -10 morale for all enemies when he personally takes to the field)- First Councillor Aryz is a terrifying figure on the battlefield, standing a full head and shoulders above his men and reaping entire units of enemy troops with well aimed shots. No matter what a soldier usually thinks of him the main thought upon seeing him mid battle is I am 'glad that he's on our side'.
Expert Marksmen (+3C, +30 to ranged attacks)- First Councillor Aryz is a expert marksman who can hit targets with far greater accuracy then most, even among the Quartok.
Wisdom of the Ages (+2M, +2A, +2I, +4L, +4D, +2P, +2 Quartok Morale)- First Councillor Aryz has seen and done much in his long life and has developed many skills and much wisdom in this time.
Expert Tactician (+3M, +15 to units under your command) – First Councillor Aryz is a highly skilled tactician whose well crafted plans are usually more then sufficient to defeat any foe.
Memory of Gold (+1M, +1A, +2L, +4P, +4D, +1C)- First Councillor Aryz is one of the most devoted practitioners of the Rule of Gold, in large part due to his memories of and admiration for the Gold Tribe. Given that he remembers Nektis the Unifier and how he united the Quratok against Waaagh Skarfang and the last stand of the Gold Tribe this is not uprisings.

Jane's agents have not been able to discover a lot about the history of First Councilor Aryz but what they have found is telling. He was a young warrior at the beginning or Waaagh Scarfang and as a member of the Red Tribe was heavily involved in the conflict for the duration. By the time the three decades long war was finished Aryz had risen to the equivalent of Captain despite being under a hundred years old, young for a Quartok. Not much is known about the next six hundred years of his life, though the fact that he invented what is now the basic Quartok rifle during that period tells you that he did not spend the entirety of it as a soldier.

What is known is that at the time of the Imperial Crusade he was a major in command of a battalion that was deployed near the front lines. Over the next few decades Aryz earned a reputation for coming out of the bloodiest of battles alive with some of his men, a trend that continued as he was promoted all of the way to the equivalent of Major-General. There are several tales of heroism and survival despite all odds attribute to him in this period but how accurate they are is unknown. Third Warleader Aryz and his division were recuperating on the Quarok homeworld after a devastating battle when the final colony ship was being sent out and were selected as part of its military contingent.

For the first half of the age of rebuilding Aryz was one of the most visible, and successful Warleaders, constantly commanding his forces against the threats to the survival of his people. Later on once the Quartok were more secure he transferred to the research and development division of the military, a group that you can only compare the the Adeptus Mechanicus. For several hundred years First Warleader Aryz was a one of the most senior members of this organisation until he decided to ion a colonization project as its senior Warleader.

The most recent and well understood part of First Councilor Aryz was his time on Death's Harbinger fighting against Orks and daemons, or Warp Horrors as the Quartok call them. From what you can gather a full third of the half billion Quartok on their colony ship died in the impact with Death's Harbinger and half of the remainder did in the first few hours to the wave of Orks that charged in. Once First Councilor Aryz managed to properly organise the survives deaths started slowing down, though it took another eighty million casualties and three days for the Quartok to properly fortify an area. The next two years were a mix of desperate guerrilla warfare against the Orks and holding out against waves of Orks and daemons. It is a true testament to both First Councilor Aryz and his Quartok that even five million of them survived.

I would guess the Men of Stone are something like lesser versions of Culture Minds. A single one could likely run most major aspects of a Large Hive on its own, or even a planet with a number of smaller cities like Asgard, provided it was allowed to do so. So yes, most scrap code would likely get squashed like a bug simply because it would be laughably easy for a Man of Stone to detect, isolate, and destroy it.

    Eighty-five years since the founding of Avernus.

    The main event of the last five years is the massive trade that you did with Vanaheim, selling several thousand warships ranging from escorts to command battleships and commissioning others to be repaired. This trade and others like it will be the trigger of the Imperial Trust growth from a minor naval power to having a fleet that could give an entire segmentum fleet pause for thought. In other news Fabricator-General Britton ended up agreeing with your inclination to destroyed the Man of Iron STC and keep the Man of Stone STC. You are not sure how much his decision was influenced by your arguments but you get the impression that he was already inclined to follow that path of action. So far the fact that the Man of Stone STC has been hidden in a vault seems to have been kept secret but you know that there is a possibility that it will get out at some point in the future. Oyu just hope that it is not the spark that sets of a Mechanicus Civil War.

    General Drago is interested in the results of your investigation into how to best deploy the new advanced weapons that you have found the schematics to. He tells you that they are expensive enough that he will have to start instituting major differences in the equipment of over a a hundred million PDF troopers with even the most basic of the advanced weapons is expensive, giving them anything more is currently not in the cards. General Drago also mentions that the current PDF expansion should be finished in a few years, bringing the total size of Avernus' PDF over a hundred and fifty million men.

    General Drago gains trait Skilled Administrator (+2A) - General Drago has developed into a skilled Administrator during his time as the commander of the Avernite PDF.

    Lieutenant-General Richards trait Skilled Marksman has been upgraded into Master Marksman (+1M, +2I, +5C, +50 to ranged combat rolls)- During her time on Avernus Lieutenant-General Richards has develop her skills with ranged weapons until she is one of the best shots on Avernus, a rather elite group.

    Lieutenant-General Paulson gains trait Pious (+2P)- Her time on Avernus given Lieutenant-General Paulson a strong belief in the strength of the human spirit and in the Imperial Truth. She is confident that the Emperor is counting on the people of the Imperial Trust and will not disappoint him.

    Lieutenant-General Christianson gains trait Skilled Administrator (+2A) - Lieutenant-General Christianson is a skilled Administrator who always ensure that his forces are well supplied and organised.
    One Locked Choose Two
    One Four years, One Three years

    Military Expansion- General Drago tells you that the population growth of the last few decades has left the military well behind the two percent of the population in regular units that it once achieved. He would like to change this by starting a mass recruitment. Almost three thousand regiments would be recruited by General Drago in the plan that he has put before you, a process that would take over a decade.

    Time: 13 years.

    Cost: 23,000,000 Thrones, 7,695,000 Material, 640,200 Promethium, 61,433 Advanced Material.

    Locked – Eight out of Thirteen years completed


    Expedite: Refit: PDF- It would take significantly more time and expense to equip everything but your militia with the more advanced wargear found in the datacores. This would provide a notable bonus to their combat effectiveness as many of their vehicles and other older equipment designs are replaced with improved versions. This is the refit that General Drago advises that you undertake and the most comprehensive refit that is affordable.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 95,590,000 Thrones, 27,180,000 Material, 2,056,000 Promethium, 539,500 Advanced Material.

    Advanced Medicine: All- In the datacores on The Sword of Surtur there were several breakthroughs in military medicine. General Drago has suggested supplying all of the military with them, including the militia.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 785,300,000 Thrones, 157,100,000 Material, 7,467,000 Promethium, 606,800 Advanced Material.

    Locked – Four out of Six years completed


    Rearm Helguard: Light- You have determined the best ways of rearming your Helguard with advanced weapons from the datacores now you need to decide which option to take. The first option is to replace all of their weapons with Neutron Lasers and other advanced weapons but not supply them with exotic weaponry. This option is by far the cheapest and will greatly increase their deadliness, especially against other heavy infantry forces. Despite being cheap compared to the other options this is still a sizable investment that will drain a major portion of your advanced material reserves.

    Time: 2 years.

    Cost: all Neutron Weapons in storage, 71,680,000 Thrones, 12,980,000 Material, 792 Promethium, 1,349,000 Advanced Material.

    Reward: All Helguard armed with Neutron Rifles, many with Neutron Pistols and most heavy weapons replaced with Neutron Cannons and Repeaters.


    Rearm Helguard: Medium- You have determined the best ways of rearming your Helguard with advanced weapons from the datacores now you need to decide which option to take. The second option is to replace all of their weapons with Neutron Lasers and other advanced weapons and supply them with a moderate amount of exotic weaponry, including a small amount of grav weaponry. This would be significantly more expensive but would allow them to effectively fight enemy super heavy infantry and other very elite forces.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: all Neutron Weapons in storage, all Plasma Weapons in storage except 4,672 Plasma Pistols, 1,787 Grav Pistols, 4,680 Grav Guns, all Grav Cannons, 99,950,000 Thrones, 12,370,000 Material, 1,584 Promethium, 1,607,000 Advanced Material, 59 Exotic Material.

    Rearm Helguard: Heavy- You have determined the best ways of rearming your Helguard with advanced weapons from the datacores now you need to decide which option to take. The third option is to replace all of their weapons with a mix of Neutron Lasers and other advanced weapons including plasma weapons and supply them with a significant amount of grav weaponry. This would be very expensive expensive but would make your Helguard capable of easily killing almost any foe. While incredible useful doing this option would almost drain your reserve of advanced and exotic material and the upkeep would be higher then you current income of advanced material.

    Time: 4 years.

    Cost: all Neutron Weapons in storage, all Plasma Weapons in storage all grav weapons in storage, 99,950,000 Thrones, 12,370,000 Material, 1,584 Promethium, 1,607,000 Advanced Material, 60 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 90,060,691 Thrones, 3,624,364 Material, 792 Promethium, 881,358 Advanced Material, 324 Exotic Material
    Reward: All Helguard armed with either Neutron or Plasma Rifles, many with Neutron or Plasma Pistols and most heavy weapons replaced with Plasma Cannons, Neutron Cannons and Repeaters, approximately a tenth of heavy weapons replaced with grav weapons, approximately five percent of rifles replaced with Grav Guns, approximately five percent of pistols replaced with Grav Pistols.


    Rearm Helltroopers: Light- Now that you have determined the best ways to rearm your Helltroopers with the new weapons found in the datacore you should begin. There are three ways that you could go about this. The first option is to supply them with some of the cheaper new weapons such as melta shells and Haywire weapons as well as the occasional more advanced weapon. This would provide a mild increase to their combat efficiency with an extra bonus against vehicles and would not increase the cost of equipping a regiment by much.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost:8,234,000 Thrones, 1,646,700 Material, 3,294 Promethium, 124,200 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 823,350 Thrones, 164,670 Material, 1,647 Promethium, 6,212 Advanced Material.
    Reward: All Helltroopers armed with melta shells and haywire weapons, boost vs armour


    Rearm Helltroopers: Medium- Now that you have determined the best ways to rearm your Helltroopers with the new weapons found in the datacore you should begin. There are three ways that you could go about this.''The second option is to replace most of their special and heavy weapons with the more advanced weapons found such as Neutron Cannons and Neutron Repeaters. This will significantly boost their combat efficacy against all targets but will cost a decent amount.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost:191,200,000 Thrones, 10,790,000 Material, 1,647 Promethium, 3,575,000 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 19,115,283 Thrones, 1,079,267 Material, 823 Promethium, 178,739 Advanced Material.
    Reward: All Helltroopers armed with melta shells and haywire weapons, most Helltrooper heavy weapons replaced with Neutron Cannons and Neutron Repeaters.


    Rearm Helltroopers: Heavy- Now that you have determined the best ways to rearm your Helltroopers with the new weapons found in the datacore you should begin. There are three ways that you could go about this. The third option is to provide advanced weapons and plasma weapons as special and heavy weapons as well as the occasional exotic weapon. This would be to expensive to roll out to anything more than the Helltroopers for the moment.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost:244,200,000 Thrones, 10,370,000 Material, 2,194 Promethium, 4,140,000 Advanced Material, 1,856 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 24,419,944 Thrones, 1,037,195 Material, 1,647 Promethium, 207,033 Advanced Material, 38 Exotic Material.
    Reward: All Helltroopers armed with melta shells and haywire weapons, most Helltrooper heavy weapons replaced with Neutron Cannons and Neutron Repeaters, a tenth of special and heavy weapons replaced with Plasma Weapons, a percent of special and heavy weapons replaced with Grav Weapons.


    Rearm PDF: Light- Now that you have determined the best ways to rearm your Helltroopers with the new weapons found in the datacore you should begin. Only one of the options is affordable at the moment, with the other two requiring far more advanced material then you have to spend. This option is to supply them with some of the cheaper new weapons such as melta shells and Haywire weapons as well as the occasional more advanced weapon. This would provide a mild increase to their combat efficiency with an extra bonus against vehicles and would not increase the cost of equipping a regiment by much.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost:62,050,000 Thrones, 12,410,000 Material, 24,820 Promethium, 936,500 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 3,102,550 Thrones, 620,510 Material, 12,410 Promethium, 46,821 Advanced Material.
    Reward: All PDF Troopers armed with melta shells and haywire weapons, boost vs armour


    Gradual Refit: All- The cheapest and slowest way to replace your armies wargear with the advanced version found in the datacores is to simply replace any that need to be replaced with the new version. It would take seventeen years to totally refit the Helguard, thirty-four years to refit the Helltroopers, sixty-eight years to refit the PDF and one hundred and thirty-six years to refit the militia.

    Time: 4 years.

    Cost: 55,000,000 Thrones, 5,000,000 Material, 1,100,000 Promethium, 41,500 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: double most military upkeep, increases AM upkeep more than this.
    Reward: Gradually refit all forces with Advanced Wargear, +35 to skill bonus


    Investigate: New Armour-A large number of new vehicle designs were found in the datacores, mostly more advanced than what you currently equip your forces with. General Drago would like to spend a few years testing them in order to determine how to best roll them out to his forces.

    Time: 3 years.
    Chance of Success: 70%

    Cost: 11,000,000 Thrones, 2,200,000 Material, 440,000 Promethium, 8,500 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Know how to best deploy your new vehicles.


    Investigate: New Aircraft-A large number of new aircraft designs were found in the datacores, mostly more advanced than what you currently equip your forces with. General Drago would like to spend a few years testing them in order to determine how to best roll them out to his forces.

    Time: 3 years.
    Chance of Success: 70%

    Cost: 11,000,000 Thrones, 2,200,000 Material, 440,000 Promethium, 8,500 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Know how to best deploy your new aircraft.


    Readiness Training- General Drago suggests putting his troops though combat readiness training in order to ensure that they are fully prepared if another invasion occurs. While effective this training will not have any long term effects and will need to be redone every decade. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 60%

    Cost: 12,200,000 Thrones, 1,220,000 Material, 122,000 Promethium, 167 Advanced Material
    Reward: +5 to all combat rolls for the next decade, can be taken multiple times


    Prepare for Expedition: Armies- One of the methods of exploring a new region is to send a group of large, powerful armies into the region. Each of these armies will be large enough to easily defend itself while being small enough to be easily supplied. General Drago believes that several brigades to a division per army would be best. Exploring like this risks a larger portion of your army and increases the amount of time an exploration will take but is far less likely to fail.

    Time: 2 years

    Cost: 30,500,000 Thrones, 3,050,000 Material, 305,000 Promethium, 4,300 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Prepare expeditionary force including all the Black Irons and half the Helltroopers.


    Prepare for Expedition: Elites- The other method of exploring a new region is to send hundreds of small scouting groups made up of your best soldiers. These groups will range from platoon size to regimental size and should be skilled enough to either defeat or escape from most threats. Exploring like this risks a far smaller proportion of your army and allows you to more quickly explore large regions. However the casualties will be entirely from your best men and there is a greater risk that you will fail to explore the region due to hesitance.

    Time: 2 years

    Cost: 3,050,000 Thrones, 305,000 Material, 30,500 Promethium, 4,300 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Prepare expeditionary force including all the Helguard.


    Specialist Grenadiers (Write In): Planning- Now that you have the Elite Training Facilities General Drago would like to create elite, specialist units that take advantage of the unique skills that each region of Avernus instils in its soldiers. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: Variable

    Cost: 7,200,000 Thrones, 14,400 Material, 1,440 Promethium, 860 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Get Composition of Chosen Elite Unit. Put forward a write-in of a unit type and I will tell you if it it viable and how easy it will be (good omake will make it easier).


    More Specialists- Currently the proportion of specialist regiments in the Helltroopers is falling as you expend the Helltroopers numbers. General Drago has put forward a plan to change this by doubling the number of specialist regiments, as well as recruiting extra regiments for the tithe. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.

    Time: 3 years,

    Cost: 425,600 Thrones, 96,180 Material, 22,850 Promethium.
    Upkeep per year: 42,559 Thrones, 9,618 Material, 11,426 Promethium.
    Reward: Recruit 55 Specialist Helltrooper Regiments for Avernus and 16 Specialist Helltrooper Regiments for the Imperial Tithe this consists of 13 Helhound/Devil Dog Regiments, 13 Bane Wolf Regiments, 13 AA Regiments, 25 Artillery Regiments and 7 Sentinel Regiments


    Flying Fortress: A Soldiers View- General Drago s interesting in the Large Mobile Research Facility and wishes to work with Fabricator-General Britton and design a variant intended for war. This would require a few years of work for General Drago and far more work from Fabricator-General Britton.

    Time: 1 year.

    Cost: 71,000 Thrones.
    Reward: Work with Fabricator-General Britton on designing a military variant of the Large Mobile Research Facility, determine approximately what possible military variants there are.

    Admiral Parnell is glad that you have sold the first wave of hulks to Vanaheim, he tells you that the pressure of having the defend such a vital, and vulnerable location is starting to get to him. He tells you that Admiral Freyr has put forward a request to have a meeting of all High Council Members who wish to build a navy at the next High Council Meeting so that decisions can be made about the future shape of each of those navy's.
    Choose Three
    One Four years, Two Three years

    Construct: Combine Shipyards- Admiral Parnell tells you one the shipyards finish their current repairs in two years he will be able to begin work on combining four small shipyards to form a single large shipyard. This would provide a major boost to your orbital industry and should be tarted as soon as possible.

    Time: 6 years. (must have 4 small shipyards)

    Cost: 144,000,000 Thrones, 21,600,000 Material, 10,800,000 Metal, 21,600,000 Promethium, 1,032 Advanced Material, 48 Exotic Material.

    Locked – Three out of Five years completed: Expedited


    Retraining- The recent naval evaluation has found that a major portion of your orbital defences and navy are of a rather low level of skill. Admiral Parnell would like to spend the next five years retraining the crews that were rated as green. This would significantly increase the combat potential of both your fleet and system defences without notably effecting upkeep. Admiral Parnell advises that you begin at once.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 550,000,000 Thrones, 55,000,000 Material, 5,500,000 Promethium, 4,250 Advanced Material, 47 Exotic Material
    Reward: Train all ships, defences and attack craft to at least regular level skill.

    Locked – Four out of Five years completed


    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.

    Construct: Merchantmen – Henry suggests building even more merchantmen so that you can cut back on the number of navigators that you use even more. This would take several years but would increase the number of Merchantmen based on Avernus by 50%. Henry considers this to be of low priority.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: 33,000,000 Thrones, 4,950,000 Material, 9,900,000 Metal, 1,650,000 Promethium, 12,300 Advanced Material, 662 Exotic Material.

    Reward: 30 new Merchantmen.


    Construct: Repair: Warriors- Currently the only ships that you have surveyed and not repaired are seven mostly destroyed Warrior Class Cruisers. Admiral Parnell estimates that it will take seven years to repair these warships using half of your shipyard capacity.

    Time:7 years.

    Cost: 173,300,000 Thrones, 54,860,000 Material, 635,300 Promethium, 94,710 Advanced Material, 483 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 3,465,000 Thrones, 1,097,250 Material, 317,625 Promethium, 947 Advanced Material, 10 Exotic Material.
    Reward: 7 Warrior Class Cruisers repaired.


    Replace Orbital Weapons Platforms- Now that he has the designs Admiral Parnell would like to replace his current orbital weapons platforms with the more advanced version. This would take some time but would both greatly increase the strength of Avernus' orbital defences and free up a large number of trained crew. This would also leave you with several hundred obsolete orbital weapons platforms which Admiral Parnell advises mothballing.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 747,500,000 Thrones, 186,100,000 Material, 92,860,000 Metal, 24,750,000 Promethium, 118,100 Advanced Material, 2,760 Exotic Material.

    Reward: replace all 300 Orbital Weapons Platforms with Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms, mothball old Orbital Weapons Platform.


    Build Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms- Another option for strengthening Avernus'' orbital defences is to rather then replacing your current obsolete Orbital Weapons Platforms to just build some new ones to support them. This would reacquire training new crew and continuing to keep the old Orbital Weapons Platforms maintained but would result in even stronger defences.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 747,500,000 Thrones, 186,100,000 Material, 92,860,000 Metal, 24,750,000 Promethium, 118,100 Advanced Material, 2,760 Exotic Material.

    Reward: build 300 Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms


    Replace Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms- Once he has the designs Admiral Parnell would like to replace his current heavy orbital weapons platforms with the more advanced version. This would take some time but would both greatly increase the strength of Avernus' orbital defences and free up a large number of trained crew. This would also leave you with several dozen obsolete heavy orbital weapons platforms which Admiral Parnell advises mothballing.

    Time: 6 years. (can't start in year 1)

    Cost: 1,224,000,000 Thrones, 449,100,000 Material, 99,360,000 Metal, 17,620,000 Promethium, 125,400 Advanced Material, 2,208 Exotic Material.

    Reward: build 60 Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms


    Expand Shipyards- Now that you have a pair of large shipyards Admiral Parnell has judged that you have enough Void trained workers to build a pair of small shipyards at a time. While this will take a bit longer it is still far more effective then building them one at a time.

    Time: 8 years. (can be taken twice)

    Cost: 220,000,000 Thrones, 33,000,000 Material, 16,500,000 Metal, 33,000,000 Promethium, 1,992 Advanced Material, 93 Exotic Material.

    Reward: 2 new small shipyards


    Move Graveyard- Currently the most valuable location in the Imperial Trust is the ship graveyard, which has barely any defences. Admiral Parnell has proposed that he begin to have his tugs move the ships that have been survey either into orbit of Deiphobe, for the capital ships, or onto the surface, for the escorts. This would protect those ships that have been moved from destruction or theft by invaders such as Orks.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 1,210,000,000 Thrones, 121,000,000 Material, 1,210,000 Metal, 24,200,000 Promethium.
    Reward: Move all surveyed ships into protected region over Deiphobe, ships will be automatically moved after being surveyed


    Expand Minefield: Deiphobe- One option to expand the defences of Deiphobe is to double the depth of the minefield. This would both double the amount of damage that ships would take getting past it and increase its depth to the point where short ranged weapons have trouble shooting past it. Admiral Parnell advises you to both expand and thicken the minefield within the next few decades.

    Time: 4 years. (cost is quadruples if thicken minefield has been taken)

    Cost: 550,000,000 Thrones, 110,000,000 Material, 5,500,000 Promethium, 85,000 Advanced Material
    Upkeep per year: 13,750,000 Thrones, 2,750,000 Material, 137,500 Promethium, 2,125 Advanced Material
    Reward: Expand minefield to medium


    Thicken Minefield: Deiphobe- One option to expand the defences of Deiphobe is to quadruple the density of the minefield. This would quadruple the damage that the mines inflict, making the minefield likely to cripple most light cruisers that try to advance though it. Admiral Parnell advises you to both expand and thicken the minefield within the next few decades.

    Time: 3 years. (cost is increased by an order of magnitude if expand minefield has been taken)

    Cost: 220,000,000 Thrones, 44,000,000 Material, 2,200,000 Promethium, 34,000 Advanced Material

    Reward: Thicken Minefield to moderate


    Void Superiority- Recently you have discovered the STCs fro several attack craft classes. Admiral Parnell would like to replace his current Fury Interceptor and Starhawk Bomber wings with the far more advanced Guardian Fighter and Dragon Bomber Wings. This would over double the effectiveness of your attack craft.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: 180,774,000 Thrones, 8,794,500 Material, 9,119,000 Promethium, 385,900 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 3,012,900 Thrones, 24,475 Material, 3,121,250 Promethium, 18,330 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Replace Fury Interceptor and Starhawk Bomber wings with Guardian Fighter and Dragon Bomber Wings


    Pilot Armour: Attack Craft Wings- Admiral Parnell has put forward a suggestion to equip all attack craft crews with pilot armour. This would provide a significant boost to the life expectancy and deadliness of your attack craft at the cost of a small amount of advanced material.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: 2,323,000 Thrones, 464,600 Material, 92,920 Promethium, 71,808 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 116,160 Thrones, 23,232 Material, 46,460 Promethium, 3,590 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Equip Attack Craft crews with Pilot Armour, +15 to all rolls, boost to life expectancy of attack craft crews

    Henry had a close brush with death two years ago, a Siren almost brought down the aircraft he was a passenger on as he was visiting The Fair Isle to oversee the construction work. Other then this he is confident that Avernus' economic position is going to stay strong and is working on the best uses for knowledge implantation chairs. He tells you that they can have a massive boost on your educational and medical industries, which are already some of the most advanced that he has ever heard of.

    One Four years, One Two years

    Improve Defences: Dis, Hollin, Garden Grove and The Fair Isle- There were several technologies in the datacores that will provide large boosts to your cities' defences. These upgrades range from improved macrocannons, orbital defence lasers and other fixed weapons to more powerful shields, better armoured walls and less volatile power generation.

    Locked – Two out of Three years completed


    Internal Transit Networks: All- One of the technologies in the datacores was an advanced internal transport network designed for use on capital ships that can easily be used as a public transport system for cities. According to Henry this would greatly benefit the cities' economy and allow you to quickly redeploy your forces within your cities. Henry considers this to be of high priority.

    Time: 10 years.

    Cost: 880,000,000 Thrones, 220,000,000 Material, 88,000,000 Metal, 44,000,000 Promethium, 680,000 Advanced Material, 152 Exotic Material.

    Locked – One out of Ten years completed


    Knowledge Implantation Chairs: Large Factory: All- Henry suggests enlarging your Knowledge Implantation Factories in order to be able to reach the point where you can start using them for non-military purposes. This will take a few years but is not particularly expensive and could lead to massive educational benefits.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 66,000,000 Thrones, 13,200,000 Material, 3,300,000 Metal, 1,320,000 Promethium, 9,960 Advanced Materiel.

    Reward: Large Knowledge Implantation Chair Factories in all cities, produces 165,000 per year.


    Upgrade Defences: Salem and The Fens- The last Hives that you need to upgrade the defences of are Salem and The Fens. Once you have finished these upgrades there will be a Hive with massive defences in every region of Avernus, providing a strong point for your people to retreat to in case of disaster. Henry advises that you begin this upgrade within a year of the current upgrades finishing.

    Time: 7 years

    Cost: 1,055,000,000 Thrones, 1,025,000,000 Material, 966,300,000 Metal, 217,400,000 Promethium, 100,100 Advanced Material. 2,976 Exotic Material.

    Reward: upgrade the defences of Salem and The Fens to Super-Heavy


    Expand Promethium Refineries: Mag Mell- While the current promethium extractors provide more then enough promethium for Avernus for the moment Henry has put forward a plan to expand the Promethium Refineries at Mag Mell even further. This will allow you to produce enough promethium that you are unlikely to need to import any for the foreseeable future.

    Time: 7 years

    Cost: 110,900,000 Thrones, 22,180,000 Material, 22,180,000 Metal, 4,435,000 Promethium, 50 Advanced Material.

    Administratum Reorganisation: Part Five – Now that the Imperium has collapsed, other things are in the process of doing so as well. Henry wishes to reorganise the Administratum to be more efficient over small areas. This will be a long and difficult process, but Henry will continue now that he has started. This is the fifth and final out of five planned reorganisation phases and is larger in scope then any of the previous plans.

    Time: 5 years.
    Chance of Success: 25%

    Cost: 55,000,000 Thrones.
    Reward: increase administrative bonus by 5%


    Economic Focus (Thrones, Production, Metal, Promethium or Food) -Henry is capable of notably increasing the efficiency of a portion of your economy by focusing a large portion of his attention, and resources, on it. This will have little long term effects but is a good way of overcoming a resource shortage in the short term.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: 61,000,000 Thrones.
    Reward: total production of chosen resource this turn by 5% per success, can be taken multiple times, critical success has a chance of providing permanent boost.


    Expand Factories: Avernus- While your current factories are more then sufficient for your current needs Henry proposes that you expand them even further. This will double your manufacturing capacity and cover all your needs for material in the foreseeable future, or at least the next few decades given Avernus. Henry considers this project to be of low priority.

    Time: 8 years.

    Cost: 112,700,000 Thrones, 22,550,000 Material, 22,550,000 Metal, 4,510,000 Promethium, 2,408 Advanced Material.

    Underground Railways: Expand- While you now have an underground railway between all of the cities of Avernus, barring The Azure Islands anyway, Henry still has plans to improve on it. One of these plans is to enlarge the underground passages so that more cargo can be moved at a time and so that larger vehicles can be shifted.

    Time: 9 years.

    Food Stores- While your new expanded food stores are capable of holding enough food for Avernus even in the worst case scenario Henry has put forward a suggestion to build some massive food storage areas to hold food for the rest of the Nine Worlds in case something happens to Alfheim, an idea that he has copied from Muspelheim. This would be far more expensive and take longer to set up but would allow for the long term storage of truly massive amount of food. Henry considers this to be of very low priority.

    Time: 4 years.

    Cost: 77,000,000 Thrones, 17,400,000 Material, 890,000 Metal, 1,740,000 Promethium, 8,600 Advanced Material.

    Reward: Massive food storage area, expand maximum food storage to 159,000 Units.


    Rapid Good Couriers: Mass- While the current number of Rapid Goods Couriers in the Azure Islands in enough to cover the current transport needs Henry has put forward a plan to increase this four-fold. This should allow for near instant transport of goods and people between the Azure Islands and neighbouring regions and drive down the transport price significantly.

    Time: 4 years

    Cost: 70,400,000 Thrones, 17,600,000 Material, 1,760,000 Metal, 3,520,000 Promethium, 172,000 Advanced Material.

    Peace Treaty: Sirens- Now that you have made contact with the Azure Bay Sirens it would be a good idea to form a peace treaty with them. Given that their Queen seemed to be very supportive of the idea this s almost certain to succeed and there is even a good chance that you will not have to give anything up. On the other hand the Sirens are a lot more civilised the the Trolls and there will be significantly more formalities and ceremonies to go though, enough hat it will take a few years to form the pece treaty.

    Cost: 144,000 Thrones.
    Reward: determine if one other High Councillor is planning to put forward a proposal per 10% you pass by.


    Investigate Quartok (Area)- Now that the Quartok are formally a protectorate it would be a good idea to gain a better understanding of them. Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan wishes to begin conducting investigations of their military, system of governor ect immediately.

    Time: 1 year.

    Cost: 5,500,000 Thrones.
    Reward: Gain information on the selected area of the Quartok such as the military, government, technology or any other.

    Cost: 6,100,000 Thrones.
    Reward+1 opinion with chosen planet.


    In Depth Investigation (Alfheim, Muspelheim, Svartalfheim, Jotunheim)- Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan is willing to spend the time conducting a far more in-depth investigating of one of the planets that he has already reinvestigate. However it is likely to lead to a minor diplomatic incident if he is caught which is rather likely unless a spy network is in place on the chosen planet.

    Time: 2 years.
    Chance of Success: 20%

    Cost: 2,370,000 Thrones.
    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. While it is rather early to start now it would give you time to attempt to convince people to change their minds before the next High Council meeting.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 80%

    Cost: 144,000 Thrones.
    Reward: Gain level of support for proposal and reasons for this for one planet per 10% you succeed by.


    Request Information (Write In)- Inquisitor Klovis-Ultan has suggested that you try requesting information from one of the other planets before conducting an In-Depth investigation that they may take offence to. He is more then willing to try to convince a planet to to give you specific information such as the exact organisation of Muspelheim's education system or Asgard's mines, which seem to be able to function with surprisingly little trained labour.

    Choose Two
    One Five years, One Four years

    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. Jane has plans to change this by both increasing the number of agents that she has deployed and by trying to get some within medium security positions. She warns you that it would be a major diplomatic issue if her attempts to set up this network is detected

    Quarantine Review- Given the sheer damage that Avernite wildlife could potential cause if it got offworld Jane has suggested that she conducted a though review of her quarantine measures to determine if they can be improved. This would take quite some time but would be the first step in ensuring that Avernus' wildlife never gets offworld.

    Propaganda about Quartok: (Planet)- Jane has suggested that she use the intelligence network that she commands to push a positive view of the Quartok on the average citizens. This is a type of operation that the Adeptus Arbites are well trained in and she is certain that she could convince almost any population in the Imperial Trust to have a slightly better opinion of the Quartok.

    Time: 6 years.
    Chance of Success: 20% (fail by more then twenty leads to issues, add spy network bonus to roll)

    Cost: 110,000,000 Thrones, 1,100,000 Material, 11,000 Promethium, 34 Advanced Material
    Reward: Better attitude towards Quartok in chosen population.


    Dedicated Spy Network (Planet, Focus)- While you have a decent spy network on many planets it is a rather general thing not focused on getting any information in particular. Jane has proposed that she build dedicated networks designed to gather information bout a particular facet of the target world. Proposed focuses include military, naval, economic, cult activity and government.

    Time: 4 years.

    Psyker Hunting- Jane is willing to personally oversee the activities of the Psyker Hunters for a few years. This would greatly increase their effect and reduce the amount of damage that Chaos Psykers inflict. On the downside it would have few long term effects and would take up some of Jane's valuable time.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: 6,100,000 Thrones.
    Reward: +5 to rolls to deal with Chaos Psykers for each success, can be taken multiple times


    Underworld Agents- One rather risky proposal that Jane put forward this year is to have her infiltrators and agents follow the lead of the Avernite criminals who are taking control of whole swathes of the Imperial Trust's criminal underworld. While this would give you a lot of information of what is going on throughout the Imperial Trust and some deniable agents it has its downsides. In particular Avernus' bad reputation due to Avernite criminals will grow and if anyone realises that this is happening on your orders it will be a major diplomatic incident.

    Time: 8 years
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: 1,220,000,000 Thrones, 12,200,000 Material, 122,000 Promethium, 1,760 Advanced Materiel.
    Upkeep per year: 61,000,000 Thrones, 610,000 Material, 6,100 Promethium, 86 Advanced Materiel.
    Reward: take over large portions of the Imperial Trusts underworld, bonuses to investigate actions on those worlds affected and gain deniable agents.


    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.

    Time: 4 years.
    Chance of Success: 40%

    Social Policy: Police State – Arbitrator Oakheart has prepared a series of plans to increase the amount of surveillance on the citizens of Avernus in an attempt to detect more cultists. This plan, while effective, will not be popular among the citizenry.

    Time: 1 year

    Cost: Varied see below.
    Reward: Varied see below
    Social Policy: Decrease Surveillance – This plan involves disabling the surveillance equipment in all public spaces. It would lead to a marked decrease in the number of cultist caught while increasing the general morale of the population.

    Cost: Free
    Reward: -10% Chance of detecting cultists and an additional -5% to detect inner circle cultists, +1 Civilian Morale.


    Social Policy: Greatly Increased Surveillance – This plan involves also putting surveillance equipment in the less personal private locations and using this data to try and catch or track cultists. It would make catching Inner Circle Cultists far easier but would be rather intrusive and moderately expensive.

    Cost: 161,000 Thrones, 16,200 Material.
    Upkeep per year: 17,400 Thrones, 1,740 Material.
    Reward: +5% Chance of detecting cultists and an additional +10% to detect inner circle cultists, -1 Civilian Morale.


    Social Policy: Big Brother – This would involve installing surveillance equipment in all private locations including every citizen's home. This would make catching cultists far easier but would be incredibly expensive and intrusive.

    Cost: 810,000 Thrones, 81,000 Material.
    Upkeep per year: 81,000 Thrones, 8,100 Material.
    Reward: +15% Chance of detecting cultists and an additional +20% to detecting inner circle cultists, -2 Civilian Morale.


    Note that surveillance costs include the cost of the previous upgrade, so if you go from level one to level three, it is cheaper than going from level zero to level three. Also, it does not cost anything to go to a lower level or to return to a level that you have previously held.

    Over recent years Fabricator-General Britton has been attempting t slowly change the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperial Trust. While he has made several major improvements some of which will greatly reduce the chance that the Mechanicus will be corrupted by the Abomination he has also earned the ire of a notable proportion of the Mechanicus. While this group, generally known as the conservatives, are currently only occasionally speaking against him if he continues to make changes they will get more active. It is entirely likely that the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperial Trust will be split by a civil war within the next half century if Fabricator-General Britton continues to make his chances. On a far more positive note Archmagos Explorator Tranth has recently been promoted to Archmagos Veneratus in recognition of the massive discoveries he has made and his unmatched genius at reverse engineering.

    Fabricator-General Britton gains trait Father of the Renaissance (+2A, +4P, +6L, +1 Mechanicus Unrest) – Fabricator-General Briton has overseen, and been the driving force behind, several major breaks from the old ways of the Adeptus Mechanicus. He has been slowly moving the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperial Trust closer to the scientists of the Dark Age of Technology, much to the dismay of a portion of his people.

    Archmagos Explorator Tranth upgrades trait War Machine to Archaeotech War Machine (+1M, +7C, -1D)- Archmagos Tranth has replaced large portions of his body with highly advanced archeotech combat equipment.

    Reverse Engineer Component: Hyper Plasma Reactor- The Gravatic Command Battleship contains a massive, incredibly advanced hyper plasma reactor capable of producing more then enough energy to power a score of Imperial Battleships. This while bearing some similarities to the design found on The Well of Urd seems to have been optimised to produce far more power at the expense of being unstable and having a shorter life-span. Archmagos Explorator Tranth suspects that the reason that the Gravatic Command Battleship has this reactor is that it is required to fully power the Gravatic Array. While he is certain that he will be able to figure out how to repair this reactor with little effort that is purely a result of how little damage it has sustained, actually replicating it would be far harder.

    Reward: Gain blueprints of small ion shields designed to protect firing slits; lose d6 of the non-operative examples.

    Examine Adamantine Forges – The Adamantine Forges found under Babylon are notably faster than those currently used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. For this reason, Archmagos Explorator Tranth wishes to reverse engineer them and figure out how to make more. He believes that he should be able to do this within a year at the cost of only a handful of the non-functional Forges.

    Chance of Success: 20%. (99% after bonuses)
    Reward: Gain blueprints for new Adamantine Forges; lose d6 Adamantine Forges, starting with the non-functional examples.

    Examine: Automated Factories- The automated factories of The Well of Urd seem to be a more advanced version of those used by Muspelheim. Archmagos Explorator Tranth tells you that he should have little trouble working out what the differences are and replicating them.

    Chance of Success: 30%. (99% after bonuses)
    Reward: Gain blueprints for new Automated Factory, on failure suffer penalty to future attempts.

    Examine: Starship Construction Technologies- The Well of Urd contains advanced starship construction technologies that should be able to build and maintain starships more efficiently. While complex Archmagos Explorator Tranth is sure that he could reverse engineer them given enough time.

    Chance of Success: -70%. (34% after bonuses)
    Reward: Gain blueprints for new Starship Construction Technologies, on failure suffer penalty to future attempts.

    Examine: Vortex Grenades- The Vortex Grenade is without a doubt the most powerful hand held weapon that humanity have ever built. Ten of them have been found in the ship graveyard and there are most likely many more undiscovered. While Archmagos Tranth will not be able to figure out how to make them without Headmaster Ridcully's post-cognition with it he may be able to.

    • So what ideas do people have about the great secret of the Niflheimers?
    My own running ideas:

    1) They are Homunculi
    2) They are Men of Iron, re-designed to remove emotions (tethers for Chaos corruption)
    3) They are uploaded Ancients whose minds are given new bodies whenever more population is needed

    While he has made several major improvements some of which will greatly reduce the chance that the Mechanicus will be corrupted by the Abomination he has also earned the ire of a notable proportion of the Mechanicus. While this group, generally known as the conservatives, are currently only occasionally speaking against him if he continues to make changes they will get more active. It is entirely likely that the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperial Trust will be split by a civil war within the next half century if Fabricator-General Britton continues to make his chances.

    We're going to have to nip this in the bud.

    Admech civil wars are bad.
     
    Hmm, replacing our OWP with the advanced designs would be great if we can fit them in alongside moving the Graveyard.

    And building a Large Chair factory would let us speed up the spread of their use even further.

    Getting those surveyors trained would really help in checking all the wrecks faster, of course, and knowing the level of Mechanicus unrest would be excellent in letting Britton how quickly he can push without making things really bad.

    Less chance of Chaos/Abomination corruption is always good.

    And equipping the Governor's Own with Dual Foils would be awesome :cool:
     
    Didn't we have some Guards we sent off before they got cut off? I imagine they did fairly well, what with their incredible combat ability and downright scary administrative capabilities.
     
    I think I'll try my hand at planmaking. Now, my grasp of military matters is sucky, so...

    Can Inquisitor Klovis, as well as Arbitrator Oakheart, do anything with the Mechanicus?
     
    I hope we can create some plan that reduce tension of Admech.

    The path to scientist is very good but maybe not too fast on change.

    I alway think maybe Britton should begin teach younger generation to become scientist first.

    Younger people less likely to set in the old way,and maybe just begin with limit number and secure location.
