Sigurd was the head of the Imperial Guard at the time, but when you said Olaf I assumed you were talking about the Vanir.

To me Olaf is the most common name in the Vanir and Asgard Sub-Sector. Kinda like Fritz for Germans or yank for American.
Well Sigurd and Freyr are both big names in the Trust to be honest so they should get a mention in 'Lord Bucketheads immaculate biography of the Daanam Crusade.'

Well, us actually doing the trade is set in stone now. But as to when, probably after Saint Lin has been able to confirm the rune is not corrupted by Chaos in any way.
Okay, just making sure it's done as fast as possible. I want as much rune knowledge as possible as fast as we can for the Beast. Guess all I have to do is wait about two more turns.
As always thanks for replying Enjou

mmm.
Just reminded me thanks.
@Durin
1. Can Klovis tell us about the opinions of his peers
It is possible we could do something like.
If lin confirms the rune is non corrupt do siren trade if it is do X
Shrug, if Durin allows it then sure.
I was thinking we are going to loose one military and one fleet action for the next 20 years (4 turns). We should pull Robert back after we secure those 5 worlds and have him start using his personal actions on fortifying cities, upgrading units, building space defense, suplying the campaign. and building more ships. So we should do a trade with Midgard for thrones and anyone who can sell us metal. Because when we finish upgrading the cities that is going to put a dent in our metal supply.
I'm actually thinking that Rotbart should continue participating in the campaign himself. We have enough base actions for the fortifications to be done without Rotbart being involved, and if Rotbart is involved in the campaigns then the chances of things going well are increased since he's the best general in the Trust.

Yeah with Rotbart the Trust has one of the best Generals available now that Avernus dosen't have Shwartz or Syr's awesome Martial stats. Plus I think it would be better in the greater strategic sense to do this in order to ensure a fast time table is kept and that any problems during the Trust's Reconquista can be handled by him where the Security Council simply cannot help in.

Though on the subject of defences should we keep focusing most actions on Tranth or should we let Scott take the extra admech slot again?
The big thing is we need to get the Forge Cities on Avernus upgraded, and given we have 30 years minimum we appear to have more than enough time to get that done with one slot. And Tranth is going to need to use at least ten years to reverse engineer Exterminatus weapons.
I am worried about the increase in cult activity. While it could be a misnomer, I think Robert being gone for 20 years is not a good idea. There is no point in conquering the ork worlds if Avernus start going all chaos. We still have not stopped the warp portals taking psykers away. Tzeech is still out for destroying Avernus human population. Robert is only one of two normal humans who can permanently kill demons.

24 years to get Belegost and Silver lake done... yeah fair enough.
Though where do you remember it saying it would take Tranth a decade to do exterminatus?
Technically anyone with our sword can do that, and Xavier didn't suddenly die.
In any case Rotbart is only a small part of the anti cult thing and an increase of to 200 is not very large.
While Tzeench kidnapping psykers isn't great there isn't a whole lot we can do at the moment.
Maybe the Siren runes have a solution, something to prevent the portals from forming, but we don't know yet.

If Avernus falls to cults just because Rotbart was away for a handful of years, it probably deserves to fall. That'd just be pathetic.
An increase of 50 cultists on average per year is nothing to worry about, especially given the increase in population. Rotbart being present also wouldn't do anything regarding Tzeentch stealing psykers, and there may not really be anything we can do about that in general for a long while - it's more likely the planet will do something about it first, if there's anything that can be done.
It was in the vote option - "This would take at least a decade of Archmagos Tranth time".

Your point?
Xavier can kill Daemons and technically anyone can kill one with our sword.
Of course the practicalities are not as simple, but they are there.

Just pointing out that he was referring to the two 'normal' humans who can deal true death, not including our hordes of terrifying psykers.

Given that our two humans can do it through simple chopping they are far more terrifying in that regard.
Xavier has to use an incredibly powerful pyromancy.

The Second Emergency High Council Meeting Part Three: Decisions are made as the discussion continues
One hundred and Eighty-seven years after the Founding of Avernus
After a bit of discussion it was decided that all attempts would be made to push the attack on the local Ork domains as fast as possible. This will require almost half of the Imperial Trust military capacity and involve fighting on a dozen worlds at a time, or more. The Security Council spent a few days further developing the plan, which now includes attack all five worlds in the Danaan Sub-Sector in two years time and starting to secure footholds in the remaining two domains the year after. These footholds would be used to marshal attacks deeper into the Ork Domains over the following two decades. There was a lot of debate over what would happen once this campaign finished, but in the end the aggressive plan pushed by you, Admiral Freyr and Champion Surt was agreed to.
As soon as a major foothold is made on a world work will begin on colonising the planet, with fortress-cities filled with Midgardians being the main coloniser. Midgard can easily provide five billion colonists a year, allowing every world to have more then enough manpower. The main issue on the colonising front will be shipping capacity and the time it takes to get established. While reducing the amount of time can be done with the use of Avernite Engineers and massed manpower shipping capacity is not so easily increased, as any additional construction of merchant ships would take away form the amount of warships you could repair. On possible solution to this involves attempting to hire merchantmen from Dragon's Nest, which seems to have a sufficient number.
As this is happening Archmagos Tranth will be attempting to reverse engineer Exterminatus weaponry, which will then be used against Tugozak's Domain after the nearby regions have been secured while High Grandmaster Ridcully will devote some of his time and attention to intensifying the civil war in the domain. When the local domains are secured a major harassment campaign will be launched against Tugozak's Domain, with the fleet of Vanaheim and Muspelheim and Avernus' elites causing as much damage as is practical. They will use some Exterminatus weaponry in this campaign, though how much is still undecided. As the same time the Imperial Trust will dispatch a major combined arms task force to inflict as much damage to the minor Ork Worlds as possible. All forces will then withdraw when High Grandmaster Ridcully warns you that there is only a decade left before the Ork Gods awaken, and you will focus on preparing yourselves for the coming storm.
There are three proposals for how to use your Exterminatus weaponry against Tugozak's Domain, ranging from using it against only the hardest targets to trying to destroy as many worlds as possible. The arguments for restraint are mostly based around not attracting attention of greater powers by massed use of Exterminatus while the arguments for are based around doing as much damage as possible to the Orks before they get boosted.
On the diplomatic front you were able to convince the High Council to warn Xenos as well as humans about the coming events, including the Necrons and Eldar if at all possible. These warning would be delivered as soon as possible so that others would have time to prepare. You also agreed on forming a military alliance if possible with the Blood Dragons, as well as a technology trade that includes some technology you had planned to keep within the Imperial Trust. You expect to be presented with more detail on possible trades at the net High Council Meeting in five years time, and probably an ambassador. Far more controversially you manged to get permission to trade the souls of Avernite Cultists to the Sirens in exchange for their Runes, though this has had a major impact on the reputation of both you and Avernus as a whole in the Imperial Trust, and required that you spend some of the favors that Governor Garp and Lord-Marshal Sigard owe you. Hopefully the knowledge will be worth the price that you are paying, both in reputation and in human souls.
Now is the time to put forward any other proposals that you wish to table before the meeting ends.

[] Use Exterminatus on only the toughest Ork Worlds, such as their major shipyards and capital worlds, estimated 3-6.- The Inquisition, First Artisan Granalf, Governor Ulric and King Zaren are supporting this proposal.
[] Use Exterminatus on any world that is to tough to take and strategically important due to resources, infrastructure or population, estimated 8-20. -Governor Olaf, Governor-General Aelfric, Governor Garp, Lord-Marshal Sigard and Fabricator-General Scott are supporting this proposal.
[] Use Extermiantus on every world that you can, starting with the most valuable, up to 63- Champion Surt and the Security Council are supporting this proposal. You can convince Lord-Marshal Sigard to support this option with 2 opinion and Governor-General Alefric with 3. (can be reduced by good rite ins)

It has been decided that the following technologies are available to trade with the Blood Dragons: all of the Imperial Era STCs, Royal Basilisks, Astartes Advanced Power Armors
Currently being considered is allowing Helheim Pattern Defence Cruisers and the naval technology that they use to be traded as well as providing Fell Class Super-heavy Tanks as well as maintenance and basic repair instructions. The final decision on this topic will be agreed on once the trade has been proposed and what they are willing to offer in return is seen.
It has been decided that you will request the sale of the two levels of Forges that the AdMech doesn't currently possess, STCs for Astartes equipment the Trust doesn't have but the Blood Dragons do, having Technomancy taught to members of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, and anything else of value that Dragons Nest is willing to provide. You will also request that they loan you some transport capacity.

I'm for this one, we don't want to be exploding too many.
Otherwise I can't think off any other suggestions at the moment...
@Durin
1. Could we use military transport ships (at least any that are free) to shore up numbers for transporting colonists?
