We have Robots, the admech use them to repair things (we got an STC for it), but despite it actually being kinda powerful they won't use it for combat.

Give it some time.

1. How does Bertil feel about Syr?
2. Does he like her being part of the I.T. Navy?
3. Does he dislike Avernite involvements in the war?

4b. Or does he hate Avernus period?

Thank you



To give an idea..









Assuming the worst the Freyrs 32 is less than Syr's 33. She's not that much better but she can definetely be called better since she lacks the experiences that her Uncle has had. Interesting...

1. unknown, he has not said anything about her one way or the other
3. no
4. heard to say but you think so
4b. maybe, Klovis-Ultan suspects he himself does not know
 
Durin said:
1.yes, and sometimes
2. no
3. you should, if you are not within three generations from a member of a knight house there is a aproxiamtly one in a trillion chance you could pilot a knight. so it can hppen but is very, very, very unlikely. you are more likely to be an Alpha-level psyker if you are born on Avernus or a Beta-level psyker if you are born elsewhere

If I'm understanding this right, it's actually much more likely for a person that doesn't belong to a Knight house to be able to pilot a Titan than to be able to pilot a Knight.
 
Thanks Durin for answering those!

1. One last Question: Is Bertil still new to polotics?
1b. Other than being Governor has he ever been in polotics?
1c. Is he the richest Vanir on the planet?

Politics for quite a while and has held a position in politics also for a long time.

Also it's spelled politics not polotics polo has nothing to do with it unless its a strange Vanir sport

yes far, being able to pilot a Titan is a matter of will and training, no genetics required

In canon, at least, I doubt it would be "far" more likely. Less likely, if anything. Princeps are incredibly rare and incredibly valuable, because they have extraordinarily high willpower. Like, in the Storyteller system (WoD, Exalted), they'd have some merit that pushes them to Willpower 11. They're about as rare as Psykers, only Avernus isn't going to give us any bonuses in getting them.

The Princeps must break the machine's opposition and bind it to their will -- a feat requiring enormous willpower. Because of this, Princeps are rare individuals, and one of the tasks the Collegia Titanica carries out is to discover them wherever they can be found and train them to command the colossal war engines. Whilst normally the Adeptus Mechanicus searches for its personnel within the Cult Mechanicus, the sheer rarity of such individuals requires the Mechanicus to search in the broader populace of the Imperium. Barely one in ten million possess the necessary qualifications to serve as a Princeps, and even fewer of this number make it through the training to finally command a war engine. Because of this reality, Princeps are immensely valuable individuals, and their home Forge World will spare no effort to recover them should they go missing in action, and if the slimmest chance exists that they are still alive.

I think his point is that the will to be a Princeps is more common than just happening to be able to use a Knight without being part of a relevant family rather than it being common.

I mean it's probably a bit more common on Avernus, but hey ho.
 
Anyone have time to beta something for me? I'm making an omake where Khol finds a lover (a fem! lover!!) and I'd like some help in restructuring it all.
 
If strong willpower makes a princep than Avernus will have a higher recruiting than normal. What with the strong willed and pious traits. To bad we will not be able to make them for the coming war.
 
To be a Princeps, you need to be able to mentally bludgeon a Titan's Machine-Spirit into submission.

This is rather high on the willpower scale, to say the least.

We crank out Knight-Titans by the hundred each year. We should be quite capable of producing at least a few true Titans a year once we get things set up.

The smallest Imperial Titan (warhound) is 14 metres at rest, significantly larger than even the largest knight.

We're going to need to make a dedicated production foundry for them, we can't just scale up what we use for the Knights as much as I'd want too.

My main concern is whether they will be our units or AdMech units.

We seem to be able to command them (or at least we have in the Trust's battles) so I'd say AdMech, but under our command.
