I think those fall under the same branch as the Titans and baneblades.
Yes if we can convince them to cough them up.

No need. All we would need to do would be to drop a bucketload of blink spiders on the planet. Everything will be dead in a week.

1. we do not need to turn every world into a death world.
2. Do you realize how dangerous transporting enough spiders would be
3. That is impossible by the nature of simple ecology.

Also, while blink spiders kill people, they're not a kill everything weapon--they're more "kill a random 2% of the population each year in a way that's really fucking hard to stop".

For avernites.
Most people are not Avernites.
Still the point stands, besides it would be more effective to use the life eater fungus.

We should definitely use this when the storm clears. I bet the other trust worlds have horror films about this.

They probably do, and that is why we must never use them except when absolutely necessary.
So as far as we know Mirkwood has fallen to a Beta Pysker mind controlling everyone there along with a Gamma pryomancer making it quite troublesome to take over. Should we do a round of orbital bombardment on its defenses and the tunnels to isolate and leave it open to Avernus before going in to clear it?

The psykers are almost definatly dead, if the Phase tigers didn't kill em before leaving the wild life would have done it for us.

Along ass time.
I'd say a good... 15-20 years, maybe less with subsidies from the Trust.
1. If I read this right the 'Current' is how strong it is and should it go over 9/10 there is a really good chance that there will be open fighting between Mechanicus.
2. The '10/10 guarantees civil war' means how big it will go up in flames (how many Mechanicus will take part in the confrontation and by that how big the fighting will be)? I can't really place it. Can you please expand on what it means?
3. The Avernus section implies that we would need to look into the other planets as well (at least those with large numbers of Mechanicus). Is that correct?

Yep we took an action this turn to try and find the condition of the rest of the Nine Worlds.
Also the current is 1, due to Omakes and Britton being dead.

It also means they were incredible badasses. Fredrick got a crit and he one shotted a keeper of secrets.

I'm hoping that the entire planet gets a minor buff. Something like "Hardened in Hellfire". they weathered an entire daemonic invasion. granted, they lost a lot in the process, but they _held_. and by simply surviving where others fell, they proved themselves hard enough that even daemons couldn't crack them.

no
1. Yes a greater deamon (one of the more powerful ones)@durin: 1. What was the strongest demon who survived the attack? A greater demon? 2. Was it the only demon in its power class in the attack?
Working on an omake and I am really wanting it to be canon.
fasquardon
2. yes
PLEASE NUMBER
1.Yes, none were involved in the attack however
2. It could be
3. yes, he is one of the most powerfully minor Chaos gods
a bit over 10,000, a few thousand have retired
1. TBD but between a quarter and three quarters
2. a decent number, tens of thousands
but it would take decades to centuries and would no necessarily kill everyone, just collapse any ecosystems that rely on creatures that Blink Spiders can kill
1. Current is current level of unrest, a mechanicus civil war will starts by the tie it reached 10/10.
2. No it means that no matter what if it reaches 10/10 the consertavites will start a civil war
3. yes

@durin - had a thought, about the ongoing nature of our people.
In general going forward, those with low wills will have been purged from the gene pool, and that's probably helpful. More than that, though, it's now the case that every living person on Avernus (with the possible exception of those hiding out with the Sirens) has had the experience of holding strong against significant, direct demonic temptation. That seems like the sort of thing that might have been a significant psychological experience, and possibly worth a trait in and of itself. The psykers had it even worse, and might reasonably get a somewhat more potent effect.

For the mechanics of the probability of Mechanicus civil war, I've got the idea it works out as something like this:
0-4 unrest along the lines of some people are unhappy, some are pissed, but the real chance of a civil war is similar to that of one in the United States today. Maybe 1% chance per year on the high end of unrest.
5-7 along the lines of some real divisions and anger, and some lines in the sand, but it would require a real provocation to actually start. Effectively like USA and USSR in the Cold War, with less of a hair trigger. Along the lines of 2-5% chance of civil war starting per year.
8-9 is like Europe prior to WW1. Lines have been drawn, tensions are high, and people are (to some extent) looking for a reason. Something in the order of 15-30% chance of civil war starting per year
10 is Franz Ferdinand has been assassinated by Serbian nationalists.
1) Is this view accurate in its broad strokes?
2) For future planning: On the event roll table, is it set up similarly for the other chaos gods? Cause a 1/1000 chance of this sort of event is very different from a 1/200 chance (5 major chaos gods)--for the later, there's about a 50% chance of another Incursion happening at some point in the next 200 years

Huh. And it would sync VERY well with the Gray Knights we have too. They're really anti-Daemon as well. This could get very interesting.
