Maybe it's the kind of planet people do not speak about. They don't want to give up monopoly of the catgirls.

Wait a minute - catgirls are canon in Warhammer 40K? Can someone give me a citation pointing out where it's mentioned please? In addition to the enhanced agility they could have enhanced senses - some series have draw catgirls with upright ears and slit-pupilled eyes rather than standard human ears and eyes, so enhanced hearing and night vision aren't out of the question.
Of course, that's assuming the rest of the Imperium doesn't consider them Chaos mutants and order their extermination on sight...
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Felinid
That's all there is for the canon information on them. The bit about enhanced agility I saw on the other wiki, but checking the source material that isn't mentioned.
They're on the list of approved Abhumans, so they are not exterminated. Just, for some reason, they are only on a single world at the time of 40k.

I just found a very, very nice summation of Imperial Religion.
I think this is the version we want on Avernus.

We do deserve to exist.
Faster reaction times, easier to see in the dark, and agility are traits I can see working very well on Avernus. Probably not die as often to Blink Spiders for one thing.
Shame our character doesn't know about them, but maybe our local Inquisitor has some

Sweet mercy! The ignorance! It burns!
The "uniqueness" of the Imperial Creed as related by these posters isn't that unique. Most belief systems I know of feature a central belief in the natural goodness of humanity and a high opinion of the human potential to kick ass.
But anyway - this is good stuff to have the Imperial Church preaching on Avernus. There is a reason why so many religions and philosophies feature this sort of positive thinking - it is a good way of producing positive action.

I suspect that it was a mix of partial truth (the negative messages described do actually exist for the most part in at last most versions of the described religions, even if the claims about being the only religion with a positive message are false.), accentuating negatives about things they dislike, legitimate ignorance, and plain old Not Giving a Fuck.

Turn Twenty-Four
Returning to Avernus, you contemplate the recent campaign and how important it showed strong orbital defences to be, in your mind justifying the expense of Avernus' own orbital defences. Avernus has done well in your absence and as you approach the planet you can see the shipyards approaching completion, and know that the new Forge-Cities are likewise nearly operational. When both come online next year, Avernus will be considered to be one of the most powerful planets in the sub-sector, a major achievement for a planet under half a century old.
While General Drago is glad that his forces did not fight the Tyranids and therefore suffered no casualties, he is slightly disappointed that the Impalers have not yet received a proper field test. Other than that, he is glad that the Militia have finished basic training and he has some ideas to increase their training and equipment, ranging from the minor to slightly over the top, even for Avernus.
Henry has been rather busy running Avernus while you were away and has only had the time to come up with one new project. This project is to immediately begin repairing the Naval Escorts so that you can keep to the five year deadline even if there are delays. Otherwise he has been totally busy doing much of your job as well as his own for a quarter of the year. He informs you that it is getting urgent that you start to deal with the population pressure in Hollin, however.
While Lord Klovis-Ultan is annoyed by the lack of combat your forces saw against the Tyranids - he wanted them to prove themselves even more - he tells you that your recent actions have given Avernus a good reputation among the local sub-sector.
Arbitrator Oakheart is worried about the declining numbers of Psyker Hunters and suggests starting to deal with that problem soon. Other than that, she is sure that the last Chaos Cult can be eradicated with no more then a few years of work, letting you reach an important milestone. The newly arrived Arbitrators and nearly trained assassins will be able to help with keeping the Chaos Cults gone once they are dealt with.
Forge Master Britton has been rather busy with the other Mechanicus Forge-Cities that will be completed this year. He has however taken the time to look over Magos Biologis Saren's work on the Life-Eater Fungus and believes that he can build a weapon using it. Archmagos Explorator Tranth is disappointed at only making a single minor discovery last year, despite the fact that there was a time in which he would have been proud of any discovery. Now that Magos Biologis Saren has finished his research into the Life-Eater Fungus, he is wondering what to study next, there being so many good options on Avernus.
Deacon Lin has been spending a lot of time around his Warriors of the Emperor lately, both Chaplains and Witch Hunters, and has developed a real talent for using the pair of bolt pistols he usually wields. He has also recently proposed another expansion to the Orphanages, this time turning them into less specialised, less advanced versions of Schola Progenium.
Gained Trait Expert Gunfighter (+3C, +30 to combat rolls with pistols)
Headmaster Ridcully reports that his Scholastia Psykana is going well and that the first group of minor psykers are on the verge of finishing their initial education and beginning to choose what path they take. He wants advice on what to teach his recent graduates and whether to send them all into a particular path or assign them as their talents demand.
You have recently returned to Avernus to find that a large amount of work has built up for you in your absence, despite the best efforts of both Caroline and Henry. This work and the time you spent on the Alfheim campaign, such as it was, will limit the number of projects that you can run this year. You spent much of the time travelling the warp in contemplation and you believe that you have found a level of piety and enlightenment that you previously lacked.
Gained Trait Pious (+2P)

Choose Three
Heavy Armour – Now that you have both the Macharius STC and the ability to produce them, General Drago wants to raise several regiments' worth. This will take almost your entire Advanced Material reserves but will allow you to field a large number of Heavy Tanks. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 20,100 Thrones, 16,080 Material, 402 Promethium, 522 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 2,010 Thrones, 1,608 Material, 201 Promethium, 26 Advanced Material.
Reward: 3 Macharius Heavy Tank Regiments (200 Tanks per Regiment).
Deathstrike – Now that you have the design for the Deathstrike Missile Launcher, General Drago suggests building a few hundred. This will provide you with high-power artillery with an intercontinental range, though you will have to make a new missile with every shot. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 6,700 Thrones, 3,350 Material, 100 Promethium, 500 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 670 Thrones, 335 Material, 50 Promethium, 25 Advanced Material (upkeep increases massively if used).
Reward: 5 Deathstrike Missile Batteries (100 Deathstrikes per Battery).
Vikings – Now that Archmagos Explorator Tranth has completed the STC of the Viking, General Drago suggests building a few thousand to supplement the Drop Troopers. This will give you a devastating weapon against Tyranid hordes as quickly as possible.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 39,798 Thrones, 14,593 Material, 3,184 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 3,980 Thrones, 14,593 Material, 1,592 Promethium.
Reward: 120 Vikings added to every drop trooper regiment.
Bane Wolves – General Drago suggests building ten Bane Wolf Regiments to deal with the Tyranids. Their weapons are highly effective against Tyranids, even if they are not weapons you want to use on Avernus or any other world whose environment you care about, such as Alfheim.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 40,200 Thrones, 8,040 Material, 2,010 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 8,040 Thrones, 804 Material, 1,005 Promethium
Reward: 10 Bane Wolf Regiments (600 Bane Wolves per Regiment)
Militia Training: Increase Training – Currently, your militia are training for a mere four hours a week. While this is enough to give them a bare minimum of skills, it is not nearly enough for proper combat training. General Drago would like to at least double this to eight a hour a week, which would raise their skill level to that of Imperial Guardsmen and make it possible for them to use special and heavy weapons. The increased work may lead to a slight decrease on the productivity of your population, but it is too small to be noticed.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 2,211,000 Thrones, 147,400 Material, 1,474 Promethium
Upkeep per year: 1,105,452 Thrones (doubles Thrones upkeep), 147,394 Material (doubles Material upkeep)
Reward: Better trained militia, +16 to militia combat rolls, +11 to PDF and Guard Combat Rolls, -1 Civilian Morale
Militia Training: Heavy Training – Rather than increasing training to eight hours a week, General Drago would prefer to increase it all the way to sixteen hours a week. This would take some time, but it would increase their skill level all the way to that of Guard Veterans and allow them to be trained in vehicular operation. The increased workload would lower your civilian morale slightly but, given that they understand how dangerous Avernus is, not by too much.
Time: 2 years
Cost: 9,949,000 Thrones, 294,787 Material, 4,422 Promethium
Upkeep per year: 2,901,811 Thrones (times three point five Thrones upkeep), 294,787 Material (triples Material upkeep)
Reward: Far better trained militia, +32 to militia combat rolls, +22 to PDF and Guard Combat Rolls, -2 Civilian Morale
Militia Training: Cadia Style – A slightly extreme idea that General Drago has suggested is to train your militia to a level similar to that of his homeworld Cadia. This would involve thirty-two hours of training a week and give them a skill level approaching that of Grenadier Regiments. The training will both take several years to set up and have a significant impact on the morale of your population, but not unmanageably so.
Time: 3 years
Cost: 30,950,000 Thrones, 442,181 Material, 10,310 Promethium
Upkeep per year: 5,803,623 Thrones (times six Thrones upkeep), 442,181 Material (quadruples Materials upkeep)
Reward: Extremely well trained militia, +48 to militia combat rolls, +33 to PDF and Guard Combat Rolls, -3 Civilian Morale
Re-Arm Militia: Impalers – General Drago suggests arming the militia with Impalers, greatly increasing their firepower. This will be relatively expensive and require a constant upkeep, but will more than double the killing power of your militia without requiring any extra training. General Drago would like at least this level of weaponry for the militia.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 22,110,000 Thrones, 11,050,000 Material, 11,050 Promethium
Upkeep per year: 2,210,904 Thrones (increased by training), 2,210,904 Material (increased by training)
Reward: Militia equipped with Impalers
Re-Arm Militia: Heavy Weapons – A more ambitious proposal for increasing the armaments of the militia that General Drago has put forward is, in addition to providing them with Impalers, to give them around the same number of special and heavy weapons as a similar number of guardsmen. It would take several years to train the militia to use these weapons but would be enough to make the militia a threat even to armoured foes. This will require a higher level of training than your militia currently possesses and is the option that General Drago would consider to be sufficient.
Time: 2 years
Cost: 26,530,000 Thrones, 13,270,000, Material, 13,270 Promethium
Upkeep per year: 2,653,085 Thrones (increased by training), 2,431,994 Material (increased by training)
Reward: Militia equipped with special and heavy weapons at a similar rate as Guard, requires Increased Militia Training: Any
Re-Arm Militia: Armour – A somewhat crazy and very expensive idea that General Drago has had is to equip the Avernus Militia to the same level as PDF Infantry regiments, including the armour. This will be very expensive and require a high level of training, and therefore time, but if done will in effect give you over a hundred thousand regiments that can match the average Imperial Guard Infantry Regiment, a force nearly as powerful as that of Midgard. While General Drago would prefer this option, he understands that it is not necessarily affordable.
Time: 3 years
Cost: 153,600,000 Thrones, 55,550,000, Material, 4,070,000 Promethium
Upkeep per year: 6,344,525 Thrones (increased by training), 3,959,828 Material (increased by training), 2,034,912 Promethium (increased by training at same rate as Material)
Reward: Militia equipped as PDF Infantry Regiments, requires Increased Militia Training: Heavy Training or better

Henry has been rather busy running Avernus while you were away and has only had the time to come up with one new project. This project is to immediately begin repairing the Naval Escorts so that you can keep to the five year deadline even if there are delays. Otherwise he has been totally busy doing much of your job as well as his own for a quarter of the year. He informs you that it is getting urgent that you start to deal with the population pressure in Hollin, however.
Three Locked; Choose One
Underground Railway: Aridia and Everglades – Given how successful the underground railway in Elysium has proven to be, Henry proposes building one in Aridia and the Everglades. This railway will go under seven hundred and seventy kilometers of swamp and nine hundred and seventy kilometers of desert. The main challenge in construction is dealing with the Titan Scorpions that will be disturbed in Aridia, which is why Henry advises stationing a large military contingent with the excavators. Interestingly, the railway in Everglades will pass under Limberlost, allowing you to more easily reclaim Limberlost and its promethium reserves.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 2,656,550 Thrones, 233,160 Material, 932,640 Metal, 58,290 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 132,828 Thrones, 11,658 Materiel, 46,632 Metal, 29,145 Promethium.
Reward: Underground railway linking cities in Aridia and Everglades, allowing rapid transit, +45% Thrones, +12.5% production.
Locked – Four out of Four years complete (delayed)
Comprehensive Medical Scheme – Henry has given you a very ambitious plan for a Comprehensive Medical Scheme for Avernus. In this scheme the number of hospitals on Avernus would be tripled and they would provide a large number of services to the general public for free. As well as increasing the general health and prosperity of your citizens, a worthy aim all by itself, this should allow you to catch plagues sooner and deal with them more effectively. This is the final general health care project that Henry has envisioned and he considers it to be of low priority.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 11,220,000 Thrones, 420,700 Material, 168,300 Metal, 14,020 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 1,121,800 Thrones, 42,068 Material, 8,414 Metal, 701 Promethium.
Reward: Comprehensive Medical Scheme in all cities, +1% population growth, reduced chance of plagues, +1 civilian morale.
Locked – Three out of Four years complete
Collegia – Henry has suggested building a huge institute of learning in Dis. This will be a hundred times the size of one of the universities and will take the best of the university graduates and further train them in their chosen field. With this Collegia Henry will be able to achieve his dream of making Avernus into one of the best-educated worlds in the Imperium. Henry considers this to be of medium priority.
Time: 3 years.
Cost: 703,500 Thrones, 70,350 Material, 70,350 Metal, 7,035 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 70,035 Thrones, 3,518 Material, 3,518 Metal, 352 Promethium.
Reward: Collegia in Dis, +5% base Thrones and +2% base Metal, Production Capacity and Promethium in all cities. This bonus is added every year for five years resulting in a +25% increase base Thrones and +10% base Metal, Production Capacity and Promethium. This adds on to the bonus from public schools and universities.
Locked – One out of Two years complete (Expedited)
Social Policy: Work Harder – Henry has prepared a series of plans which include making the population of Avernus work longer than the 49 hours a week that is the current average working week.
Time: 1 Year.
Cost: 10,000 Thrones.
Reward: Varied; see below
Examine Planet (Planet) – Now that you have several survey ships from Atlas it would be a good idea to give the other planets in the Avernus System a better examination. Henry would prefer to examine the moons of Avernus Four while Archmagos Explorator Tranth is interested in the ancient warships orbiting Avernus Three.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 14,200 Thrones, 710 Material, 305 Metal, 3,050 Promethium.
Reward: More information on chosen planet.
Expand Food Stockpiles – Henry suggests massively expanding the food stockpiles on Avernus to allow you to have enough food to weather any siege or famine. This expansion will give every city at least thirty years' worth of food stockpiles buried deep under it. Henry considers this to be of very low priority.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 611,500 Thrones, 122,300 Material, 61,150 Metal, 12,230 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 31,575 Thrones, 6,115 Material, 3,158 Metal, 612 Promethium.
Reward: expands maximum food stockpiled to 20,750 units, enough for the current population to live on for over thirty years.
Enlarge Factories: Avernus – Henry has a plan to enlarge the factories of every city in Avernus, which would increase your total production capacity by around 50%. He advises that you expand your mining industry before increasing production this much, as your current mining yields could only barely support this expansion. Henry considers this to be of low priority.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 1,106,000 Thrones, 221,100 Material, 221,100 Metal, 44,220 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 442,200 Thrones, 44,220 Metal, 8,844 Promethium.
Reward: enlarges factories over rest of Avernus, +170,000 Production Capacity, +200% base production capacity (increase of +100%).
Population Pressure: Expand Hollin: Phase One – Hollin's population is on the verge of growing too large for its current limits without causing severe overcrowding. One way to fix this problem is for Hollin to be expanded into a Small Hive. Henry's proposal is for the city to expand upwards, building itself into a classic hive. He also plans to split the expansion into two separate phases to limit the amount of resources you need to use at a time. The second expansion will be purely military and bring the defences up to the same level as on Dis.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 29,040,000 Thrones, 4,573,000 Material, 5,311,000 Metal, 610,500 Promethium, 100 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 542,600 Thrones, 65,977 Material, 52,959 Metal, 17,472 Promethium,1 Advanced Material.
Reward: Hollin expended into Small Hive, will require another action to bring defenses up to par.
Population Pressure: Displace – The easiest method of dealing with the population pressure in Hollin is to move some of its citizen to the other cities of Lindon, which certainly have room for them. This will be aided by the number of cargo shuttles you have and will allow you more time before having to expand Hollin.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 402,000 Thrones, 40,200 Material, 20,100 Metal, 201,000 Promethium.
Upkeep: None
Reward: 15 million citizens move to Doriath and Lorien.
Population Pressure: Rebuild Limberlost – A more time-consuming but useful method of dealing with the overpopulation in Hollin is to rebuild Limberlost. This is made far easier by the newly completed railway which will allow easy access even for heavy machinery. The main reason to rebuild Limberlost is that it would give you access to the massive promethium reserves that it is built over. Henry has come up with a four year plan to rebuild Limberlost but informs you that General Drago would have to recruit more forces to defend it or thin the defenses around other cities in the Everglades.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 29,800,000 Thrones, 4,462,000 Material, 4,134,000 Metal, 963,800 Promethium, 1,000 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 1,681,901 Thrones, 142,051 Material, 132,996 Metal, 18,823 Promethium, 10 Advanced Materials
Reward: 30 million people moved from Hollin to Limberlost, Limberlost rebuilt as major city, ability to harvest Promethium reserves under city
Must Choose One of the Following
Construct: Asteroid Miner – Henry suggests using your docks to build four more Asteroid Miners and setting them to mining. This will increase your metal income by around 12%, allowing you greater leeway on what is currently your most limited core resource.
Time: 3 years
Cost: 1,340,000 Thrones, 804,000 Material, 8,566 Promethium, 400 Advanced Material.

Repair Imperial Navy Escorts – Some of the damaged Imperial ships from the recent battle against the Tyranids have been sent to Avernus with instructions that you repair them within five years. Currently, your orbital Docks and Ramilies-class Starfort are capable of repairing the escorts and Henry suggests beginning soon.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 7,920,000 Thrones, 1,080,000 Material, 46,800 Promethium, 740 Advanced Material
Reward: repair the sixteen escorts for the Imperial Navy.
Underground Railway: Aridia and Everglades – Given how successful the underground railway in Elysium has proven to be, Henry proposes building one in Aridia and the Everglades. This railway will go under seven hundred and seventy kilometers of swamp and nine hundred and seventy kilometers of desert. The main challenge in construction is dealing with the Titan Scorpions that will be disturbed in Aridia, which is why Henry advises stationing a large military contingent with the excavators. Interestingly, the railway in Everglades will pass under Limberlost, allowing you to more easily reclaim Limberlost and its promethium reserves.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 2,656,550 Thrones, 233,160 Material, 932,640 Metal, 58,290 Promethium.

Locked – Four out of Four years complete (delayed)
Comprehensive Medical Scheme – Henry has given you a very ambitious plan for a Comprehensive Medical Scheme for Avernus. In this scheme the number of hospitals on Avernus would be tripled and they would provide a large number of services to the general public for free. As well as increasing the general health and prosperity of your citizens, a worthy aim all by itself, this should allow you to catch plagues sooner and deal with them more effectively. This is the final general health care project that Henry has envisioned and he considers it to be of low priority.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 11,220,000 Thrones, 420,700 Material, 168,300 Metal, 14,020 Promethium.

Collegia – Henry has suggested building a huge institute of learning in Dis.

With this Collegia Henry will be able to achieve his dream of making Avernus into one of the best-educated worlds in the Imperium. Henry considers this to be of medium priority.
Time: 3 years.
Cost: 703,500 Thrones, 70,350 Material, 70,350 Metal, 7,035 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 70,035 Thrones, 3,518 Material, 3,518 Metal, 352 Promethium.

Locked – One out of Two years complete (Expedited)
Social Policy: Work Harder – Henry has prepared a series of plans which include making the population of Avernus work longer than the 49 hours a week that is the current average working week.
Time: 1 Year.
Cost: 10,000 Thrones.
Reward: Varied; see below
Social Policy: Longer Working Week – The most simple of the plans is to increase the working week to 56 hours. This would have a small effect on morale and give a ten percent increase in productivity. Henry recommends this option.
Reward: -1 Civilian Morale, +10% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Much Longer Working Week – A harsher plan is to increase the working week to 66.5 hours. This would have a major effect on morale and give a twenty percent increase in productivity.
Reward: -2 Civilian Morale, +20% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Work to the Bone – A very harsh plan is to increase the working week to 80.5 hours. This massive amount of work would have a major effect on morale and increase productivity by thirty percent. Henry recommends against this option.
Reward: -3 Civilian Morale, +30% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Reward: -1 Civilian Morale, +10% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Much Longer Working Week – A harsher plan is to increase the working week to 66.5 hours. This would have a major effect on morale and give a twenty percent increase in productivity.
Reward: -2 Civilian Morale, +20% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Work to the Bone – A very harsh plan is to increase the working week to 80.5 hours. This massive amount of work would have a major effect on morale and increase productivity by thirty percent. Henry recommends against this option.
Reward: -3 Civilian Morale, +30% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Examine Planet (Planet) – Now that you have several survey ships from Atlas it would be a good idea to give the other planets in the Avernus System a better examination. Henry would prefer to examine the moons of Avernus Four while Archmagos Explorator Tranth is interested in the ancient warships orbiting Avernus Three.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 14,200 Thrones, 710 Material, 305 Metal, 3,050 Promethium.
Reward: More information on chosen planet.
Expand Food Stockpiles – Henry suggests massively expanding the food stockpiles on Avernus to allow you to have enough food to weather any siege or famine. This expansion will give every city at least thirty years' worth of food stockpiles buried deep under it. Henry considers this to be of very low priority.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 611,500 Thrones, 122,300 Material, 61,150 Metal, 12,230 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 31,575 Thrones, 6,115 Material, 3,158 Metal, 612 Promethium.
Reward: expands maximum food stockpiled to 20,750 units, enough for the current population to live on for over thirty years.
Enlarge Factories: Avernus – Henry has a plan to enlarge the factories of every city in Avernus, which would increase your total production capacity by around 50%. He advises that you expand your mining industry before increasing production this much, as your current mining yields could only barely support this expansion. Henry considers this to be of low priority.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 1,106,000 Thrones, 221,100 Material, 221,100 Metal, 44,220 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 442,200 Thrones, 44,220 Metal, 8,844 Promethium.
Reward: enlarges factories over rest of Avernus, +170,000 Production Capacity, +200% base production capacity (increase of +100%).
Population Pressure: Expand Hollin: Phase One – Hollin's population is on the verge of growing too large for its current limits without causing severe overcrowding. One way to fix this problem is for Hollin to be expanded into a Small Hive. Henry's proposal is for the city to expand upwards, building itself into a classic hive. He also plans to split the expansion into two separate phases to limit the amount of resources you need to use at a time. The second expansion will be purely military and bring the defences up to the same level as on Dis.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 29,040,000 Thrones, 4,573,000 Material, 5,311,000 Metal, 610,500 Promethium, 100 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 542,600 Thrones, 65,977 Material, 52,959 Metal, 17,472 Promethium,1 Advanced Material.
Reward: Hollin expended into Small Hive, will require another action to bring defenses up to par.
Population Pressure: Displace – The easiest method of dealing with the population pressure in Hollin is to move some of its citizen to the other cities of Lindon, which certainly have room for them. This will be aided by the number of cargo shuttles you have and will allow you more time before having to expand Hollin.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 402,000 Thrones, 40,200 Material, 20,100 Metal, 201,000 Promethium.
Upkeep: None
Reward: 15 million citizens move to Doriath and Lorien.
Population Pressure: Rebuild Limberlost – A more time-consuming but useful method of dealing with the overpopulation in Hollin is to rebuild Limberlost. This is made far easier by the newly completed railway which will allow easy access even for heavy machinery. The main reason to rebuild Limberlost is that it would give you access to the massive promethium reserves that it is built over. Henry has come up with a four year plan to rebuild Limberlost but informs you that General Drago would have to recruit more forces to defend it or thin the defenses around other cities in the Everglades.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 29,800,000 Thrones, 4,462,000 Material, 4,134,000 Metal, 963,800 Promethium, 1,000 Advanced Material.

Forge Master Britton has been rather busy with the other Mechanicus Forge-Cities that will be completed this year. He has however taken the time to look over Magos Biologis Saren's work on the Life-Eater Fungus and believes that he can build a weapon using it. Archmagos Explorator Tranth is disappointed at only making a single minor discovery last year, despite the fact that there was a time in which he would have been proud of any discovery. Now that Magos Biologis Saren has finished his research into the Life-Eater Fungus, he is wondering what to study next, there being so many good options on Avernus.

I heavily suggest going full Cadia. Because, well, when the Imperium falls Cadia is going to fall, and it would be damn sad to see their millenia of tradition fade into nothingness or worse, be used by Abaddon to provide troops for Chaos. Avernus is going to be their successor.
We can take the hit to popularity, train our Priests in public speaking, hold a speech and the majority of it will be ablated.

'Rebellion'.
We have a Civilian Morale of Goddamn 18/10.
We are nowhere near any danger of rebellion, even if we went simultaneously Big Brother, Cadia and increased Work Hours to Maxx.
