My original estimate of decades of damage seems rather spot on then.
Probably about that long to get the battle psykers recovered too. Maybe longer. I forget what % of the total Trust battlepsykers were deployed to Mar Sara?

1/4th of ours all (or close enough) of Midgard's.
Not sure how many were in the Midgard collegia though, but they only had a fraction of the major avernites.

Just what did we roll to get them to come to us?
I don't know, perhaps start from the Womb? Get the Biologis to design perfect nutriments intake for optimal fœtus development, have them hold onto something all the time as baby to train their grips, have them look at the training of soldiers all the time hefore they are even capable to think.
Overall, perhaps more involvement of the Biologis? If anyone know how to squeeze more out of the Human body, it's them.
We could also encourage the creation of martial school and have them pit against each other in friendly competition?

I think the best thing to do is to regularly exterminate all the Orks in our locality before they can hit the next level of Waagh.
The Inquisition could probably do it but I think it would be better to have a dedicated institution for the job.

Unexpected!
So, did Avernus just fend off a (minor) Crusade with greater ease than the entire rest of the Trust was able to fend of a WAAAGH?
"What took you so long?"
"We had to hold back from killing them too quickly, else they may have given up."
"Fucking Avernites, if you were just trying to inflate your kill counts-"
"By 'given up,' I meant 'summon a greater Daemon and spark another Incursion.'"
"...just go start killing Orks."

Excellent
.For the first...maybe?
It depends on how cost effective it is. We might be able to get it to work as an extension of the already all encompassing medical stuff we do. Hell it may do it automatically.
For the second maybe? We'd have to ask them if they have any ideas.
For the third already done.
Sheesh...

We'll need to focus mostly on fleet, it seems:
-Valinor needs containing before it replenishes it's shattered forces.
-Nearby ork polities need castrating before they grow to any size capable of supporting the Waaagh.
-In general, orks need greater naval counter more than better troops.
With our elites dead, we won't be committing to ground battles any time soon.

Ophelia layed in the medial tent as shells and gunfire popped off only kilometers away. During combat the orks recognized her as a threat and ambushed her on her way to the battlefield. Ork Kommando's appeared out of nowhere as her convoy was rammed by vehicles and explosions rocked the earth. Ophelia caught shrapnel in her torso and regardless fought on with her injuries turning the assailants into ashes but caught more munitions into her legs tearing bone but otherwise she was okay. Her legs at the very least were still technically there.
The Medicae however was wary of working on an Alpha Psyker who was so injured. They believed that too much pain on a psyker could trigger a mental backlash and with one so powerful it was foolhardy. In the end they had to wait for special medication to sedate her totally before helping grow her skin back and remove shrapnel Ophelias torso. She's scheduled to make a complete recovery but her role in the campaign has been relegated to 'Emergency Reserve' as the Military Leadership shy's away from using such a volatile asset.
A sense of depression dawned on Ophelia as she continued to be in bed helplessly as food and medicine continued to be brought to her. She felt overly privlaged to say the least.
Across from her a Midgardian Soldier of probablly 19 years old cried for help. His guts were coming out of his friend who was either unconcius or dead.
"SOMEONE HELP ME MY BROTHERS DYING! LEO! LEO WAKE UP!"
Ophelia saw that there was no one moving to assist them as the medicae worked on less injured soldiers and officers. She was the only one that could provide any sort of relief..if she could only move there. Using a calm push away from the wall her stretcher bed moved towards the wounded Leo and his brother. She grasped the belt of the crying soldier which shocked him as he quickly turned around to see the psyker girl on a stretcher.
"I can help if you let me."
It was the standard response for Avernite Psykers when on patrol with the militia or PDF. It was simple and to the point. The young man payed no mind as he helped her get close to Leo.
"Help me put his guts back in quickly. Then I can use my powers to revive him but he'll be hurting still so make sure you hold him down."
To his credit the young boy soldier did just that as he unceremoniously grabbed as much of his brothers guts and dumped them back into his chest. Ophelia did her part as a greenish red light clouded her hands as she used her knowledge of biomancy to heal Leo. She hadn't done anything at this level before but she refused to stand down anymore and just watch the carnage. She wanted to help and she knew that her powers could do it if she could just continue focusing.
After what seemed like a millenia for the two Leo sat up violently and yelled as pain erupted like a volcano from his mouth. His brother held him down as Ophelia leaned into to continue the process as painful as it was to heal the battered young man. It was sloppy and his body would recover but the sudden 'fixing' of his body confused and pained the senses within causing the soldier to keep hollering. She offered sedatives from her own client bag but she was refused and a nurse finally got around to intervene as she was wheeled away.
She never knew who those two young Midgardian were but she knew that they would both go home. She didn't know just knew.
For the first time in a long time did Ophelia feel her chest jut out more in confidence as she felt her service to the Emperor in these times of need being met. Her Mother and Father would be.

Good Omake though I'm not sure if it's right.
Ophelia is a skilled biomancer and healer and using it on ones self it the easiest expression of biomancy.
If she's got the skill to heal the kid she could probably heal herself through brute power.

What we really need is a permanent Expeditionary Force. Some sort of moderately potent force that goes around scouting our nearby borders, helping local friendly humans and

I'll stick that in the pile of ideas for the next session.
Probably best to coordinate that with the Dragon's though.
They've got more clout in the region.
We are deploying. Combat turns come afterward or Durin will gloss over them through dice throws.
No sense in putting tactical decision into the strategic part.

He gave us a write in option for a reason...
And this seems to be more of a what do you focus on in the end of the fight before we get back to business/cleaning up.
Ouch that was bad. The poor Timeless army they literal fought for over a thousand years together ( ignoring the whole time warp thing) that is going to be a huge hit for Midguard. Those guys have fought every enemy faction ever.
Ok so in the coming turns I think we need to go hard on keeping the orks divide. We can't fight another big war for at least 30 years minimum. Maybe we should go ask the Korks if we can become protectorate or the negotiate with the Eldar to use the webway.

You know. While face the orc equivalent to the avernites or martial like phase tiger was terrible. And they were stronger that the 'normal Orcs '. We certainly can adapt what we learn from them to higher lvl waaargs and/or how to fight warchiefs with their bodyguards. A lesson that the the nearby Orcs closer to the trust can certainly suffer from.

Authors limitations mostly but Ophelia was healed by the medical. But she was also drugged with painkillers to alleieve the pain and forces on bed rest.
It' not like in D&D where after a health option your dandy. There is a rest period required in biomancy or at least I think so?
In a way Biomancy is like surgery. Yeah you cured the patient but they have to lie down and adjust. Buoyancy is just faster, doesn't require much equipment, and might kill you from accidental mutation.
But no worries because ophy learned well.
Hope that satisfies you might Space Overlord.

I wonder if Avernus the Planet-Mind would offer to Avernoform the other worlds in the Trust, if the threat was big enough.
@Durin Does Ridcully think that it is possible to get into contact with the Planet Mind?
