Looks pretty good.
Few things I would like to bring up. First, I know it's a sore spot, but are we sure we want to ask the resident Alpha if she wants to come? From a strictly military standpoint I agree that she could make a huge difference against the Orks, but I worry about the potential political ramifications. We'd effectively be inviting her into another governor's turf, and she's caused some issues on Avernus, which is known to be fairly radical. Put her on a relatively conservative world like Svartalfheim... well, I don't think it's likely that she'd cause major problems, but I do think that there's a non-trivial risk that it'll result in a hit to our diplomatic standing just before a High Council meeting where we were planning on pushing some of our ideas. Hell, the only reason inviting her isn't necessarily a move that could increase our high-handed reputation is because we're officially in charge of the defenses there.
Second, maybe switch around the second world cleansing for Those in Shadows and Battle Psyker Preparations. The battle prep seems like it would have a good chance of significantly increasing the survival/vetrancy rate for our deployed psykers (even if Aria's hardly the ideal person to do it), and more psykers passing/higher degree of pass is always good. Especially if we're trying to increase the value/reputation of psykers in the Trust to add more weight to any arguments about trading for psychic stuff from the local Xenos.
Third, and only possible if you pull Aria off of world cleansing at some point, last turn we were trying to have Ridcully divine stuff to help with Lin's meditations on the divine. It seems like it might be possible for him to help out a bit here—of course, we'd need to clear it with Durin for surpassing the cap on Divination actions. As our current ones don't seem like they'd require much of a write-up I think he could be flexible.
