I'm pretty sure it was discussed last meeting? Are you referring to the tax thing where planets above a certain level of military are taxed less?
And ninja'd by Durin.
Also while you're here, Durin (I think) ok'd my speech thing and apparently it may help get some of the on the wall councillors on our side.
Ok, what would be an acceptable level applied to the Helguard? 50%?

some negotatiosn required, 50% may work, escpeccaily if you are willing to raise the tithe on the Helguard as well

Maybe we should add that if the Eldar ask for soldiers as payment we will volunteer Avernus soldiers first because we were the one who brought this up in the first place. It sounds like the kind of concession that would lower some of the ill will over the deal.
Ok, specified the proposal to be this.

@Enjou, putting emphasis on the large Ork Waaaghs would help, given that not only are they a threat to us, they're also a threat to what few other uncorrupted human polities remain in the galaxy, including the ones that have Primarchs in them.
On a related note, Vanaheim said that we should only work with the eldar during dire circumstances. As of right now, the Emperor is dead, the Imperium is gone, most of humanity is dead or corrupted, the orks have gotten a massive power boost, the necrons are all awake, and there's a fifth major Chaos God. It's not a stretch to say that we are in dire circumstances.
What about the Administratum? That kind of merging would require that organisation more than any other by orders of magnitude. There's also the distances involved, so we should check with the chartist captains about it too.

Actually that occurs to me
@Durin
1. Anything Klovis/our speech writers think we could improve?
2. What's Klovis's position on the whole Eldar contact thing?
3. In our conversations has he ever said where he and Varques fall on the scale of radical puritan? Cause Klovis who we think worked with the Tempestus Scions seems more radical while Varquez (the unconventional ex rogue trader) seems more puritan...or maybe my read is just wrong.
Good idea. Most effective too.
Well that thing I did has been ok'd so I could add this in?
Also you forgot Chaos is about to get another Major boost and a C'tan is coming back potentially whole.

1. not the player
2. he is for at least finding out what the price is, and will wait for that before making any other decsions
3. there location on that spectrum is rather complex, you could call them both moderates but it is more like they are each radical about some things and puritan about others

Gottit.
I have made some modifications (specifically to the end), though I fear I have done the big ham.
Ah so...moderates.
So Durin said that there will be boosts that will make players rage. The only ones that I can think that would make me rage is if all of chaos got a boost or if the Tyranids beat the Night king with most of the Necrons. That last one would be really bad since the Necrons got beat.

Silent King.
Still that ain't a boost that's just the cron's getting nobbled.
And all of chaos is getting a boost to differing degrees.

Hopefully one of the boosts won't be more chaos gods births since that would seem too much like War of the Krork and cycle of DOOM that's going on there. But it would still be better than one of them dying and making The Qlippoth a thing because those give me nightmares if I think too much about them.
Best guesses;
-Chaos: Eldar Tech/Dark Eldar Souls
-Tyranids: Large scale production of Apex Psykers. Nid unit's capable of contending with Crons and ludicrous numbers.
-Necrons: Going full War in Heaven, breaking out and using C'tan Shards.

Already done that. They've apparently spun up to a level they've not been at since the War in Heaven, are using C'tan shards and are deploying the weapons that turned them into shards in the first pace.
I don't know those don't feel pants dropping horrifying enough I feel like Durin is going to bring in new factions that are even more terrifying. So bad that we wished we kept the Man of Iron Stc.

Well we won't be getting MoS any time soon, so don't worry about the Men of Iron, we'd never get to use it anyway

Yes those are methods to capture a ship or its contents, but my issue is that durin has said that targeting their merchant shipping with stealth ships is impractical, as it will rapidly result in the loss of our very expensive stealth ships. I'm more interested in how they get away with it than how they do the deed.
I feel like this combination of uncanny knowledge of our fleet motions combined with vastly superior speed is scary in terms of strategic advantages and really difficult to fight against.
I kind of suspect that Turoq or someone high in his command structure has some sort of daemon interaction paragon trait, probably diplomacy or psykic control, to be able to learn so much about our fleet disposition all of the time such that trying to trick them or leave them uncertain as to our ships positions at any point is useless, I don't think it's an advantage Chaos normally has.
Mostly copying Enjou for my votes.
[X] Vote in favor of the second Inquisition funding proposal.
Argument: We will continue to have our hostile neighbors try to infiltrate us and steal our technology. Even now a Tzeentchian polity is attempting to
[X] Vote in favor of the second defense increase proposal.
Argument: We have limited ability to strike out against our hostile neighbors, as they have faster means of travel. As such, we need the strongest defense we can manage.
[X] Eldar Communication Proposal: Ridcully can potentially contact Eldrad Ulthran telepathically, and Eldrad helped him during the Green Awakening.
-[X] The goal of this proposal is to allow Ridcully to make contact. We would share information regarding predictions on the Dark Eldar, the C'Tan, and large Waaaghs (likely they already know, but likely wouldn't hurt). Possible other goals include asking to see if the Trust could get limited Webway access to talk and possibly do tech trades with major human polities in the galaxy, perhaps strike at neighboring threats faster (or perhaps negotiated strikes by the Eldar against them), as well as human tech stashes they may possess, and maybe some kind of non-aggression agreement. No actual agreements will be made at this time, as any agreement must be ratified by the High Council.
Argument: The Eldar are a powerful xenos race, and while we should not trust them they are at the last aligned against the Dark Eldar, Chaos (especially Slaanesh), the Orks, and the Necrons, so non-hostile relations would be preferable. Further, we could potentially strengthen ourselves and other major non-Chaos human polities through judicious tech trades and information exchanges, bettering humanity's position in the galaxy.
And make no mistake, humanity needs every advantage it can get. The Dark Eldar are about to share their tech with Slaaneshi cultists, the Orks have gotten stronger, the Necrons are awake and the C'tan will awake too, Abbadon has a massive Chaos Imperium, and the Tyranids that the Necrons were fighting in the void between galaxies will eventually arrive as well. Circumstances may seem under control locally for the time being, but the galaxy as a whole is getting more and more dangerous.
[X] Helguard Subsidy Proposal: Propose that the military rebate be increased to 50% for the Helguard. Rotbart is willing to increase the tithe of Helguard to the Imperial Trust Guard to compensate for this.
Argument: The Helguard are the most elite human troops, barring Astartes, in the Trust. However, they are expensive to train and maintain. Funding will help ensure that larger numbers of them can be kept, bettering the Trust's security.
[X] Propose the Security Council and the Inquisition make a joint study of the viability and requirements of eventually merging our polity with that of the Blood Dragons, to be reported on in a future High Council Session. Otherwise, work to continue improving relations regardless.
Argument: The Blood Dragons have thus far proven to be reliable allies, and if their sector can be brought up to Imperial Trust technological standards then it will make our area of space significantly more able to fight off threats.
[X] Propose that we get in contact with the remaining uncorrupted human polities in our area, with the intention of promoting information sharing, possibly indebting them to us by supplying them with information gleaned from divinations(Ridcully divines for attacks incoming on any of the human polities near us), putting out a general offer to take in any refugees that can make it to us so long as they agree to a quarantine and check period(we have a small population and a lot of new land to exploit), and also seeing if there are any surviving tiny imperial remnants near the Ork or Chaos realms that border us, so that we can fortify them(but not bring them up to our tech level) to act as potential future bases, should we decide to run a campaign against the threats near them.

Now I really want to get another look at the War in the Void once we get a chance and see how both the Necrons and Tyranids are doing.

Really like the speech and think it would work well to convince everyone else.
