The population of Avernus has grown by an average of 1.28% over the last five years, a far more normal rate.
Administration Assistance- As a result of the recent reforms in the Adeptus Mechanicus it is now possible for secular authorities to oversee the expansion of a Forge-City or the upgrading of its defences at the request of the local leader of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Fabricator-General Scott has requested that the Avernite Administratum oversee the upgrading of the defences of all of the Forge-Cities in the system, and the expansion of Belagost, Annwn and Mag Mell.

Signe's work expanding the Forge-Hive of Belisama has been going well, and is only a few years off compilation. According to her reports the basic superstructure of the expanded Hive and its infrastructure have been completed and work is underway on building the residential and industrial districts and on finishing the rather impressive defences.
Expand Mine: Erecura- Erecura has grown large enough hat you could build an even bigger mine in it. This massive mine would bring in around forty billion metal a year, enough to make Avernus the largest single producer of metal in the Imperial Trust. This would be a massive economic and industrial windfall for Avernus and Signe suggests that you begin work immediately.
Time: 14 years.
Cost: 25,000,000,000 Thrones, 5,000,000,000 Material, 5,000,000,000 Metal, 990,000,000 Promethium, 15,000 Advanced Material, 96 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 2,500,000,000 Thrones, 500,000,000 Material, 500,000,000 Metal, 99,000,000 Promethium, 770 Advanced Material, 2 Exotic Material.
Reward: Expand Mine in Erecura to Titanic, +458 million base metal (+38 billion after modifiers), base metal increases from +700% to +800% (+2 billion after modifiers)

Signe tells you that the expansion of the mines in Erecura has been going well, with the mining machinery being under construction even as the new smelters are being built. Signe has also recently started a major retraining effort to gather the countless trained workers that will be needed to keep the mine running.
Expand Factories: Hives- While Avernus' material production is currently sufficient there is still a lot of room to expand. Signe has proposed building a set of even larger factories in all of your Hives, which will quadruple your material production. This would be impossible to supply without either beginning to import metal or, far more economically viable, expanding your mines in Erecura or Belisama.
Time: 22 years.
Cost: 9,600,000,000 Thrones, 1,900,000,000 Material, 1,900,000,000 Metal, 380,000,000 Promethium, 430,000 Advanced Material, 1,500 Exotic Material.

Reward: Expand factories in all Hives to Colossal, +10 million base production (+27 billion after modifiers), base metal increases from +500% to +600% (+2 billion after modifiers )

For the last five years Signe has been working on building a set of massive factories in all of the Hives of Avernus. So far this has consisted of first clearing large enough spaces in the Hives to house the factories and then reinforcing the foundations and ensuring that they have sufficient infrastructure to keep operating at full capacity. This includes power supplies, easy access for their rather large work-forces, dedicated freight trains to supply them with raw materials and take the finished products to warehouses and several other considerations. In other words Signe is having to remodel entire districts around them.
Thaddeus Expertise: Expand (Inbu-Hedj) to Small Hive- Now that the cities of Duat have all been built, or are in the final stages of construction it would be a good idea to expand one of them into a Small Hive. This would provide a centre for the administration and defence of the region and allow for a greater population to build up. It would also be possible to build more small hives in other regions, though not nearly as important.
Time: 10 years.
Cost: 3,290,000,000 Thrones, 2,680,000,000 Material, 2,480,000,000 Metal, 4,460,000,000 Promethium, 2,370,000 Advanced Material, 27,100 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 277,000,000 Thrones, 234,000,000 Material, 217,000,000 Metal, 39,500,000 Promethium, 19,500 Advanced Material, 234 Exotic Material.
Reward: Expand city to Small Hive

Four years ago Thaddeus completed the expansion of Inbu-Hedj in Duat into a Small hive. With this expansion having been completed there is now enough room in Duat for population to no longer be an issue for over fifty years, a quite significant period.
Thaddeus Expertise: Quartok City- You have agreed to build another major city for the Quartok in Elysium in exchange for selling their technology to the Nynye. Compared to some of the projects that you are overseeing this should be rather quick and cheap but will be a major boost to the Quartok economy and population density.
Time: 8 years.
Cost: 430,000,000 Thrones, 420,000,000 Material, 400,000,000 Metal, 95,000,000 Promethium, 800,000 Advanced Material, 6,000 Exotic Material.

Reward: Build major city for Quartok

Four the last four years Thaddeus has been working with the Quartok to build a new city for them. This as yet unnamed new city is also within Elysium, being only a few hundred kilometres from their current city of Malea.

Two years ago you oversaw the completion of the final orbital defence laser on the newly expanded Small Hive of Bonud, and with it the last of the expansion of that city. The Hive of Bonud is dug deep into the ground of Elysium, making it a nightmare for conventional forces to assault due to the narrow area that the attacker is forces to attack, forcing the enemy to fight on your terms. Inf act that only force you can see taking Bonud though storm is one that has a qualitative advantage on the Helguard, and enough men not to be overwhelmed. In other words a major Astartes force.
