Diplomatic about trump? Um what did I write?

Again I have very un-focused writing and will time and time again do these kinds of omakes. This one I feel got better as it got closer to the end as I tried to make Syr more 'military' like with a personality change initated by loss. Not good enough to be canon but meh.
 
Oh

I just re-read what I posted last night at 1 in the morning. Ya I don't like his leadership style of deferring to cronies and not releasing his taxes. But what do I know? I'm 22.
 
Lets not have a RL political discussion here. This is not the place, and I'd rather wonder about what we can learn from a chat with a Chapter Master.

And if the Black Crystal Breastplate will fit under our powered armor.
 
Meh.

So are we going back to normal turns with an update on what's going in the campaign side in the header?
 
He's staying on the planet and letting the Military deal with the campaign which is good.
 
Question: Is marshall higher than general? Also is Shwartz suppose to be a grand marshal or stay as a general?

Marshal and since Valerian disagrees I brought a wikipedia qoute.
In many countries, the rank of marshal, cf. field marshal, is the highest army rank, outranking other general officers. The equivalent navy rank is often admiral of the fleet.

Marshal - Wikipedia
Worth mentioning that many Army (including the US don't have Marshal in their normal chain of command) Template:United States uniformed services comparative ranks - Wikipedia
 
I forget again is Syr a Brigadier or Major General? How many stars does she have?
 
@Durin
Quick questions?
1. Is it possible for us to take an imprint/recording of the Emperor's psycic frequency either from Lin or an Astropath, either an actual record, or simply by identifying the exact parts of the frequency?
2. Vote closed
3. If so is there an ETA?

In the Index, under 'Return of Garkill', Aftermath is laballed as 'Part Fourteen' instead of 'Part Fifteen'.

Also, ah, my omake here. I think it goes under Chapter 1? Or Chapter 2.

Chapter Two: Turn Eighty-Seven
  • Threadmarks
    • Turn Eighty-Seven
    One Hundred and Sixty-one years since the Founding of Avernus
    Four year turn

    Over the weeks since the death of Garkill your forces have been able to kill several billion more Orks, reducing the number of Orks on Avernus to around fourteen billion. While this is still a problem until they unite you should be easily able to deal with them, even with half of your army campaigning in Garkill's former Domain. Thinking of the campaign you have received the initial reports, and it seems that the Imperial Trust Guard has made landfall on both Danaan and Dooneeva. So far progress has been according to schedule but you expect that to change at some point, war never goes according to plan. On a more personal topic you seem to have acquired a title as a result of your most recent actions, while it is flattering to be known as Rotbart the Great you will have to ensure that it does not lead to arrogance. During Waaagh Garkill you also made a major breakthrough in reading the flow of battle, and by the end of the Waaagh you could already determine the future path of the war and how to move your forces to take advantage of it. High Grandmaster Ridcully has already tested you and confirmed that it is not divination or any other Warp talent but is instead a result of skill and understanding.


    Governor Rotbart combines traits Intelligent (+1 to all stats), Glorious Aquila (+1D), Good Judge of Character (+2I, +2D), Faith is Stronger then Steel (+4P), Very Well Educated (+4L), Reader of Philosophy (+2L, +1P) and Better to have Loved and Lost... (+1D, +2P) into title "The Great"-(+5I, +9L, +10P, +7D, +3 to all other stats, +1 to all morales, -10% cult formation, +10 morale to all forces under his command)- In recent years Governor Fredrick Rotbart ha been called Rotbart the Great by both his own people and by the rest of the Imperial Trust. This is in recognition of his management of Avernus, as it has grown from a small colony to one of the major powers in the Imperial Trust in a short time despite several major invasions. To make matters even more impressive it has managed to become one of the better places to live in, despite the ever present threat of the wildlife.
    Governor Rotbart gains Paragon Trait: n steps ahead - (does not have to specify number or composition of forces until they either are isolated or engage in combat)- Governor Rotbart is a master reading the flow of a war and determining what will happen well in advance. As a result of this he is always able to position his forces to maximum effect, often taking advantage an an enemies actions before the opposing general knows what he will do.

    General Schwarz is currently campaigning with the majority of his Marshals, leaving Marshal Richards in command of the forces on Avernus. As expected she has handled her new duties without any issues and is proving herself more then capable of overseeing the defence of Avernus, even with reduced numbers of troops. She is currently planning methods to deal with the remaining Orks on Avernus, which while not a threat to your cities are still very powerful forces.

    Marshal Pope upgrades trait Master of the Shadows (+3M, +5I, +1C, +25 to stealth rolls for forces under her direct command) to Grandmaster of the Shadows (+5M, +8I, +2C, 25 to stealth rolls for forces under her direct command)- Marshal Pope is incredible at stealth warfare, being able to sneak soldiers past all but the most alert sentries while almost casually picking off enemy scouts and patrols. Even Arbitrator Oakheart is not as skilled at commanding covert operations as Marshal Pope.

    The Phase-Tigers gain an additional +5 to all rolls and +5 to stealth rolls

    Expand Military: PDF- General Schwarz has proposed over doubling the size of the Avernite military, to over five percent of the population. This will take a great deal of time an resources but the massive increase in your combat capacity should be worth it. He has split this massive project into three separate projects in order to allow for a greater proportion of his focus to be directed where it is most needed. The PDF make up by far the largest proportion of your military but are not as well equipped, making them one of the longer but cheaper projects.

    Time: 16 years.

    Cost: 404,900,000 Thrones, 97,420,000 Material, 3,408,000 Promethium, 4,118,000 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 29,420,006 Thrones, 6,805,087 Material, 1,703,930 Promethium, 113,147 Advanced Material.

    Expand Military: Helltrooper- General Schwarz has proposed over doubling the size of the Avernite military, to over five percent of the population. This will take a great deal of time an resources but the massive increase in your combat capacity should be worth it. He has split this massive project into three separate projects in order to allow for a greater proportion of his focus to be directed where it is most needed. The Helltroopers make up a significant amount of your army and are well equipped, making them one of the cheaper but more time consuming options.

    Time: 12 years.

    Cost: 124,000,000 Thrones, 16,100,000 Material,1,570,000 Promethium, 2,590,000 Advanced Material, 1,159 Exotic Material.

    Locked – Ten out of Twelve years completed


    Campaign- Currently General Schwarz is leading a good portion of your forces to work with the Imperial Trust Guard to attack the remains of Garkill's former domain. While Lord Marshal Sigard estimates that he will be able to secure the target worlds within the next year or two your forces will have to remain for a few more years as fortifications are built.

    Time: 4 years

    Cost: Free
    Reward: army assists Imperial Trust in taking and holding new worlds

    Locked – Zero out of Four years completed

    Recruit- Over twenty-five million Avernite soldiers were killed in Waaagh Garkill, over five percent of your military. Marshal Richards tells you that it will take six years to find and train replacements for these soldiers. She also advises you to begin recruiting immediately, as the Imperial Trust is likely to be in near constant war for the foreseeable future and it would be best to have your military at full strength.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 741,500,000 Thrones, 67,020,000 Material, 27,790,000 Promethium, 7,000,000 Advanced Material, 5,654 Exotic Material.
    Reward: replace forces lost in the recent Waaagh


    Ork Infestation: Containment Measures- Currently you have over ten billion Orks on Avernus, mostly around the Ork strongholds built out of Roks. While they are not a threat to your cities without either better organisation or more super -heavy siege equipment they are still an issue. Marshal Richards strongly advises you to at the least attempt to keep them contained in the area around their stronghold though a combination of soldier, aircraft and orbital bombardment. This should prevent the separate forces from linking up and keep them disorganised.

    Time: 1 year (take multiple times to continue)
    Chance of Success: 80%

    Cost: 80,000,000 Thrones, 40,000,000 Material, 8,000,000 Promethium, 4,150 Advanced Material
    Reward: slightly increases military casualties, kills some Orks, prevents Orks from becoming more organised,


    Ork Infestation: Siege (strongholds)- There are currently eleven Ork strongholds on Avernus, each with a garrison ranging from the hundreds of millions to over two billion. Marshal Richards suggests besieging some or all of them, trapping the Orks inside and weakening the defences for a later assault.

    Time: 1 year (take multiple times to continue)
    Chance of Success: 60% (-5% for every stronghold after the first)

    Cost: 160,000,000 Thrones, 80,000,000 Material, 16,000,000 Promethium, 8,300 Advanced Material per stronghold besieged
    Reward: increases military casualties, kills Orks, weakens defences of target strongholds


    Ork Infestation: Assault (strongholds)- There are currently eleven Ork strongholds on Avernus, each with a garrison ranging from the hundreds of millions to over two billion. You will need to eventually destroy these strongholds. One way to do this is by taking advantage f your superior troops, technology and coordination to assault the strongholds. Given that the Orks will be defending fortifications taking strongholds will not be easy and it would be best to concentrate on assaulting only a few strongholds a year and to soften them up first.

    Time: 1 year (take multiple times)
    Chance of Success: 40% (-10% for every stronghold after the first)

    Cost: 160,000,000 Thrones, 80,000,000 Material, 16,000,000 Promethium, 8,300 Advanced Material per stronghold besieged
    Reward: significantly, increases military casualties, takes target strongholds and kill Orks inside them


    Lessons Learned: Siege- Your forces gained a good deal of experience with the defensive side of siege warfare in the recent invasion. Marshal Richards tells you that if she focuses on codifying the gathered knowledge she could notably improve your training in siege warfare. She would personally prefer to focus on this aspect of warfare given how easily Prefabricated Fortresses can turn any battle into a siege.

    Time: 1 year. (can't be taken with Lessons Learned: Harassment)

    Cost: 4,000,000 Thrones, 400,000 Material, 20,000 Promethium.
    Reward: +5 to all rolls when defending in siege and +3 to combat rolls.


    Lessons Learned: Harassment- Your forces gained a good deal of experience with conducting harassment operations in the recent invasion. Marshal Richards tells you that if she focuses on codifying the gathered knowledge she could notably improve your training in conducting harassment.

    Time: 1 year. (can't be taken with Lessons Learned: Siege)

    Cost: 4,000,000 Thrones, 400,000 Material, 20,000 Promethium.
    Reward: +5 to all rolls when harassing and +3 to combat rolls.


    Phase Infantry Battalions: Planning- In recent years the number of Phase-Tigers in the pens in Lindon has reached a high enough number that training some of them for war and creating specialised Phase Infantry Battalions is practical. To begin with Xavier, the Phase-Tigers and several of General Schwarz' best officers will need to sit down and decide how to build and train these forces.

    Time: 5 years

    Cost: 390,000,000 Thrones, 78,000,000 Material, 7,900,000 Promethium, 850,000 Advanced Material, 950 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Force Composition for Phase Infantry Battalions


    Jetbikes: Planning- One of the new technologies found by Archmagos Tranth is designs for a set of advanced jetbikes with many similarities to the Eldar designs. General Schwarz would like to mount his Helguard Rough Riders on these Jetbikes and will need to spend a few years detemining how to do this.

    Time: 3 years

    Cost: 44,000,000 Thrones, 8,800,000 Material, 880,000 Promethium, 85,000 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Force Composition for Jetbike Regiments


    Land Raider Power Helguard Regiment- One of the possible ways to use the Land Raider designs that you on have is to equip a single regiment of Mechanised Helguard with Land Raider Transports. This would be expensive, costing several million Thrones, but would give the selected regiment enough firepower to match multiple Armour Regiments and some of the toughest transports imaginable.

    Time: 5 years

    Cost: 1,984,000 Thrones, 311,700 Material, 49,280 Promethium, 150,500 Advanced Material, 3,059 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 364,009 Thrones, 59,609 Material, 5,509 Promethium, 29,469 Advanced Material, 612 Exotic Material.
    Reward: 1 Regiment of Mechanised Power Helguard replace all transports with Land Raiders, 1,4000 Hunred Land Raiders in total


    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% (each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

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


    Militia Readiness Training- General Schwarz suggests putting the militia though combat readiness training in order to ensure that they are fully prepared for the incoming invasion. This would potentially provide a massive boost to your total combat power but given that you want to avoid using the militia in combat as much as possible how much effect thi will actually have is unknown.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 60% (each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

    Cost: 880,000,000 Thrones, 88,000,000 Material, 8,800,000 Promethium, 8,500 Advanced Material
    Reward: +5 to all combat rolls for militia the next decade, can be taken multiple times, -1% city productivity per attempt (for the turn)


    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).

    Currently the vast majority of the Avernite Navy, including Admiral Parnell are campaigning in what was recently Garkill's Domain. Despite this Admiral Parnell remains in full control of Helheim Void Command and has put forward several projects for your consideration. Much to everyone's surprise it was found that all twenty-one Avernite capital ships destroyed in the recent conflict are intact enough to be repaired. Given that it was expected that at least a third of the sips would be totally destroyed this is being considered a Miracle of the Machine-God by both the Avernite Navy and by the Mechanicus.

    Expand Shipyards: Large- Now that you have a huge shipyard it is possible to build large shipyards whole. This would increase the rate at which you can build capital ships and maintain anything short of battleships more easily. Admiral Parnell advices you to focus on this until you have all four large shipyards that you plan on constructing.

    Time: 18 years. (can be taken twice)

    Cost: 740,000,000 Thrones, 111,000,000 Material, 55,500,000 Metal, 111,000,000 Promethium, 10,200 Advanced Material, 475 Exotic Material.

    Reward: 1 new large shipyard

    Locked- Ten out of Eighteen years completed


    Campaign- Currently a good portion of your forces are working with the Imperial Trust Fleet to attack the remains of Garkill's former domain. While Lord Marshal Sigard estimates that he will be able to secure the target worlds within the next year or two your fleet will have to remain for a few more years as fortifications are built.

    Time: 4 years

    Locked for Four years

    Bombardment- There are currently eleven Ork strongholds on Avernus, each with a garrison ranging from the hundreds of millions to over two billion. Admiral Parnell suggests using your defence cruisers to conduct a sustained medium intensity bombardment on them. This should kill a decent number of Orks and damage the fortifications, making future assaults easier.

    Time: 1 year (take multiple times to continue)
    Chance of Success: 70%

    Cost: 40,000,000 Thrones, 20,000,000 Material, 2,000,000 Promethium, 8,300 Advanced Material
    Reward: kill Orks, weakens defences of strongholds

    Construct: Repair- The Avernite Navy suffered a good deal of damage to its lighter units fighting against Garkill's fleet. Much to everyone's surprise all of the Avernite capital ships destroyed in the fighting will be repairable. It will take seven years to repair the damaged ships and replace the destroyed escorts and attack craft.

    Time: 7 years

    Cost: 1,774,000 Thrones, 350,200,000 Material, 12,720,000 Promethium, 1,493,000 Advanced Material, 9,069 Exotic Material.

    Move Orbitals- Currently all of Avernus' orbital infrastructure is in orbit around Deiphobe in the protection of your main naval base. According to Admiral Parnell it will take a bit less then three years to return them to the orbit of Avernus, after which he will feel far more confident of Avernus' security.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: 1,210,000,000 Thrones, 121,000,000 Material, 1,210,000 Metal, 24,200,000 Promethium.
    Reward: Move all orbitals back to Avernus from Deiphobe,

    Construct: Escorts- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The quickest of these suggestions is to build a collection of escorts to fill your order of battle. This would involve repairing a bit over two hundred escorts over three years and is the fastest way to bring your fleet up to full strength.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: 512,000,000 Thrones, 96,200,000 Material, 2,130,000 Promethium, 363,000 Advanced Material, 2,550 Exotic Material.

    Reward: repair 104 Squire Frigates (Half Destroyed), repair 104 Page Frigates (Half Destroyed), repair 17 Legionnaire Destroyers (mostly intact),


    Construct: Mass Conveyors and Escorts- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The second suggestion is to use your Huge Shipyard to make some Mass Conveyors, which will be in higher demand now that navigators are being seconded to the military in greater numbers. While the Mass Conveyors are being built Admiral Parnell will use the smaller shipyards to start work on brining your escort numbers up to full strength.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 784,000,000 Thrones, 78,600,000 Material, 13,000,000 Metal, 3,090,000 Promethium, 303,000 Advanced Material, 3,500 Exotic Material.

    Reward: build 9 Mass Conveyors, repair 84 Squire Frigates (Half Destroyed), repair 81 Page Frigates (Half Destroyed)


    Construct: Cruisers and Escorts for Midgard- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The second suggestion is to use your Huge Shipyard to make some Mass Conveyors, which will be in higher demand now that navigators are being seconded to the military in greater numbers. While the Mass Conveyors are being built Admiral Parnell will use the smaller shipyards to start work on brining your escort numbers up to full strength.

    Construct Defence Cruisers and Escorts- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The final option would be to repair even more Defence Cruisers and build some more Monitors, strengthening Avernus' Void defences but not helping the rest of the Imperial Trust. Given the fact that Avernus is one of the better defended systems in the Imperial Trust Admiral Parnell does not believe this to be necessary for the moment.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 866,000,000 Thrones, 232,000,000 Material, 3,440,000 Promethium, 745,000 Advanced Material, 2,310 Exotic Material.

    Build Advanced Orbital Defence Stations- NO that you have the designs Admiral Parnell strongly advises that you build some Advanced Orbital Defence Stations. While he will want thirty-six in total he tells you that six is the most that his workers can work on at the moment, so he would prefer to build six at a time. Given the sheer defensive utility of these stations you see no reason to disagree with Admiral Parnell on their importance.

    Time: 8 years.

    Cost: 335,000,000 Thrones, 98,300,000 Material, 26,000,000 Metal, 7,020,000 Promethium, 49,600 Advanced Material, 1,370 Exotic Material.

    Reward: 3 Advanced Orbital Defence Stations


    Expand Shipyards: Small- Now that you have a huge shipyard it is possible to build five small shipyards at a time. This would allow you to more quickly increase the total number of shipyards that you own though it would not help with building capital ships or maintaining anything above cruiser. Admiral Parnell would prefer to finish all of your planned large shipyards before building up your small shipyards.

    Time: 18 years. (can be taken twice)

    Cost: 740,000,000 Thrones, 111,000,000 Material, 55,500,000 Metal, 111,000,000 Promethium, 10,200 Advanced Material, 475 Exotic Material.

    Reward: 1 new large shipyard


    Build Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms- At the moment the Avernus system has fifteen Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms for every Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platform. Admiral Parnell tells you that this leaves your planets poorly prepared for dealing with capital ships that that the ratio should be increased to around 5-1. The first step in this process is building another sixty Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms.
    Time: 7 years.

    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

    Readiness Training: Fleet- With Garkill and his forces being expected to arrive within two years Admiral Parnell would like to conduct some last minute training and exercises with his fleet to better prepare them.

However the damage done to Salem will take years to fix and will over double the resource cost of the invasion. Despite this he tells you that the economic cost of Garkill's attack is far less then he predicted and that you remain in good economic shape, though there is a small deficit in Thrones it will take over a hundred years to exhaust your reserves.

Of particular urgency is that fact that the entire outer defences of Salem have been destroyed, leaving the city vulnerable to both attack and wildlife.

She has recently suggested establishing a School of Swordsmanship in Dis where her self-created style is taught to Avernite swordsmen. This would take some time as she will not be able to teach full time, so will want to train half a dozen instructors to a high enough level that she is confident that they will be able to teach her style. Given that this style was honed against rogue psykers this will prove to be a particular boon to the Psyker and Witch Hunters whose duty it is to hunt them down.

    Psyker Hunting- Jane is willing to personally oversee the activities of the Psyker Hunters for a few years.

    Reverse Engineer Component: Hyper Plasma Reactor: Part Three- Now that he knows how to replicate the Hyper Plasma Reactor Archmagos Tranth hopes that he can figure out how to resize it for use in other ships and settings. Given the sheer complexity and half understood nature of the Hyper Plasma Reactor this will be a long and very expansive project, with a large chance of failure. However a success will allow for the construction of Hyper Plasma Reactors in a whole new range of warships, which would allow you to significantly increase the shields, engines and firepower of portions of your fleet in exchange for making them more fragile. According to Admiral Parnell that trade off would be a massive boon to fast, agile fleets such as Vanaheim's.

This weapon has the most advanced targeting scope that Archmagos Explorator Tranth has ever heard of, making the Exitus Rifle seem simple. These weapons, currently being called Super-Exitus Rifles, have a variable shot selector which currently has three forms of remaining ammunition. This design is incredibly complex and Archmagos Explorator Tranth will need major support from Headmaster Ridcully to revere engineer it and would prefer not to make an attempt until his understanding is better.

    Reward: Gain Blueprints of Super-Exitus Rifle, lose d6 Super-Exitus Rifles

    Examine: Shield Breaker Rounds- The final form of ammunition for the Super-Exitus Rifle found seems to be a more effective, and complex, Shield Breaker Round.

    Psyker Quarters: All- One idea that Headmaster Ridcully has had is to have most of his trained psykers move into psyker quarters in your cities. He would build a psyker quarter capable of maintaining a ten thousandth of the population that the city is built to hold in each city. This should be more then enough to contain all of your psykers for the enforceable future, and will grow as your population grows. The other main benefit is that it will help integrate the psykers into the general Avernite population, make it easier for Witch Sniffers to search the population and for Battle Psykers to help against threats. One the downsides it will cause a bit of civil unrest and will increase the number of casualties that your Witch Sniffers and Battle Psykers take, both in day to day life and against Chaos Psykers.

    Reward: Advanced Wards on the Fólkvangr, greatly reducing the chance of successfully teleporting onto the ship or using psychic powers targeted at or into the ship, +100 to the chance of anyone on the ship resisting a psychic power used from outside the ship


    Basic Wards: Fleet- Now that the Artisans of Nogrod are ready it is time to start adding wards to some of your key buildings and defences. One option is to add basic wards to your entire fleet, which will provide a significant level of resistance to both teleport attacks and hostile psykers, though it will be time consuming and expensive.

    Time: 8 years.

    Cost: 21,300,000 Thrones, 979,000 Advanced Material, 10,940 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 1,010,000 Thrones, 49,000 Advanced Material, 547 Exotic Material
    Reward: Basic Wards on all Warp capable ships, moderated reducing the chance of successfully teleporting onto the ship or using psychic powers targeted at or into the ship, +30 to the chance of anyone on the ship resisting a psychic power used from outside the ship


    Psychic Materials: Wildlife- There are some materials that channels psychic energies better then others, or in certain ways. Given the sheer variety of psychic wildlife of differing sorts on Avernus Grandmaster Jameson believes that at least some of them will be useful in this manner. She will only be able to examine a single type of creatures at a time, so will take quite some time to examine everything that Avernus has to offer.

    Time: 1 year

    Cost: 4,000,000 Thrones, 400,000 Material, 4,250 Advanced Materials.
    Reward: Determine if any part of selected species is useful as a psychic conductor.


    Songs of War- Given how useful Songweaving is for large psychic choirs Priamris Jameson suggests training a few Choirs of Battle psykers in its use and composing some powers for combat. This will take some time but the reward of five large choirs trained in songweaving could be enough to change the course of entire campaigns.

    Time: 10 years

    Cost: 400,000,000 Thrones, 42,500 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: 5 Songweaving Choirs formed, several powers composed for each choir


    Research: Destructive Frequencies- Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson have found that as well as some frequencies strengthening each other there are some frequents that weaken others. They would like to spend a few years confirming their theories on these frequencies.

    Time: 2 years (takes both Ridcully and Tamia's actions)
    Chance of Success: 50% (uses average of learning)

    Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Information on how destructive Psychic Frequencies function


    Research: Neo-Astropathic Choirs- Headmaster Ridcully believes the recent discoveries he and Tamia have made will allow for the formation of Neo-Astropathic Choirs, which will massively boost the range of your Neo-Astropaths. He plans on using a combination of Songweaving, what has been found about resonating frequencies and everything he knows about psychic frequencies to do this.

    Time: 7 years (takes both Ridcully and Tamia's actions)
    Chance of Success: 10% (uses average of learning)

    Cost: 390,000,000 Thrones, 3,900,000 Material, 8,509 Advanced Material, 959 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Allows the formation of Neo-Astropathic Choirs.


    Battle Preparations- It is highly likely that you will find yourself in a war as soon as the Warpstorm ends and Primaris Xavier has suggested putting the Battle Psykers though last minute training in preparation. While this will have no long term effect in the short term it will hone the edge of their psykers abilities.

    Time: 1 year
    Chance of Success: 40% (uses Martial, each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

    Cost: 22,000,000 Thrones, 11,000 Material, 1,100 Promethium, 10,625 Advanced Material, 116 Exotic Material.
    Reward: +5 to all Battle Psyker Rolls for the next decade


    Honing an Edge- It is highly likely that you will find yourself in a war as soon as the Warpstorm so it might be a good idea for the heroic Psykers of Avernus to focus on preparing themselves. While normally the time just before a war is not a good time for military forces leadership to spend a year meditating and training themselves when the leader is as powerful a weapons as a heroic psyker it becomes a good option.

    Time: 1 year
    Chance of Success: 40% (uses Control, each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

    Cost: Free
    Reward: +10 to all battle rolls by Heroic Psyker who takes the action for the next decade


    Research: Immaterial Resonance- One of the most intriguing discoveries of Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson is that some patterns in the Materium resonate with the Immaterium effecting it. This is likely the bases of runes and some rituals, both Chaotic and non-Chaotic. Headmaster Ridcully would like to spend a decade studying it. He can not promise any useful results even if he is successful but given that this is a possible path to several major breakthroughs he thinks it is worth the risk.

    Time: 10 years (must be taken by Ridcully)
    Chance of Success: 20% (uses learning)

    Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Information on how some things in the Materium resonate with the Immaterium


    Research: Power Melody Composition- The recent joint research project between Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson made several major discoveries, one of which is that the closer the melody of songweaving matches the required frequencies of a power the more effective the power is. While the exact mechanisms of this increase are as yet not understood Primaris Jameson thinks that she will be able to figure out how to compose melodies that match the powers used.

    Time: 7 years
    Chance of Success: 40% (uses learning)

    Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Primaris Jameson figures out how to compose a melody that matches the power better.


    Mentoring: Beta- Given the high rate of failure for the more powerful psykers Headmaster Ridcully would like to have one of his best psykers mentor the next Beta-level in the year leading up to his trails. This will hopefully be enough to increase his chance of passing by a significant degree.

    Time: 1 year. (can be taken once)
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: Free
    Reward: each point of success increases chance of the Beta-level psyker passing the trails by 1%


    Mentoring: Gammas-Given the high rate of failure for the more powerful psykers Headmaster Ridcully has suggested having one of his best psykers mentor the next Gamma-levels in the year leading up to his trails. This will hopefully be enough to increase his chance of passing by a significant degree.

    Time: 1 year. (can be taken once)
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: Free
    Reward: each 20 points of success increases chance of each Gamma-level psyker passing the trails by 1%


    Research: Black Crystal Items (Item)- Last year Headmaster Ridcully determined that each of the items of Black Crystal has its own unique property, though he was not able to determine what they are. He tells you it would most likely take a couple of years of study to determine exactly what the unique properties are but it would most likely be worth the time expended.

    Time: 2 year
    Chance of Success: Unknown (uses learning)

    Cost: 355,000 thrones, 17,750 Material, 43 Advanced Material.
    Reward: More information on Black Crystal Item selected

    You are currently rather busy as a result of both work you delayed until after Waaagh Garkill and dealing with the issues that your current Ork infestation cause. However even this workload is not enough to prevent you from worrying about Syr, who is currently off on her first major campaign. While you are confident in both her skills and those of her bodyguards, who you hand-picked from among the best of the Governor's Own, in war even great skill can't protect you from everything. A single unlucky shot could bring her down or she could be killed when the ship she is on is destroyed. While you understand the reasons behind needing to send her off to war it remains hard.

    "The Great"-(+5I, +9L, +10P, +7D, +3 to all other stats, +1 to all morales, -10% cult formation, +10 morale to all forces under his command)- In recent years Governor Fredrick Rotbart ha been called Rotbart the Great by both his own people and by the rest of the Imperial Trust. This is in recognition of his management of Avernus, as it has grown from a small colony to one of the major powers in the Imperial Trust in a short time despite several major invasions. To make matters even more impressive it has managed to become one of the better places to live in, despite the ever present threat of the wildlife.

    Oakheart's School of Swordsmanship- Jane Oakheart is one of the the best swordsman in the Imperial Trust, a position she earned on sheer skill and experience. She has recently suggested establishing a School of Swordsmanship in Dis where her self-created style is taught to Avernite swordsmen. This would take some time as she will not be able to teach full time, so will want to train half a dozen instructors to a high enough level that she is confident that they will be able to teach her style. Given that this style was honed against rogue psykers this will prove to be a particular boon to the Psyker and Witch Hunters whose duty it is to hunt them down.

    Its a control based skill.

    As you might imagine the less power you have the better you can control it.
