Pulse Rifles: PDF- Currently your PDF are equipped with Impaler Carbine as their primary weapon. While Impalers are surprisingly powerful and highly cost effective their combat power still pales in comparison to Pulse weaponry. General Richards advises you to switch over to using Pulse immediately.
Time: 15 years
Cost: 1,600,000,000 Thrones, 160,000,000 Material, 7,600,000 Advanced Material .
Upkeep per year: 2,200,000 Thrones, 220,000 Material, 5,500 Advanced Material.
Reward: Replace your PDF Impaler Rifles with Pulse Rifles
Complete
General Richards tells you that she has now entirely replaced your PDF's Impaler Carbines with Pulse Carbines. This will give your forces significantly more firepower then they once had, though at the cost of requiring more logistic support for extended engagements. This should give your PDF significantly more punch, which while not needed against chaos cultists and the weaker Tyranid bio-forms could be critical against decently equip soldiers of all types.
An Even Split-After comparing Pulse Rifles and Volkite Calivers you found that there are benefits and disadvantages to equipping your Helltroopers with each. You could equip half of your Helltrooper Regiments with Volkite Calivers and half with Pulse Rifles, allowing the Helltroopers to be fielded against heavily armoured targets and hordes equally.
Time: 11 years
Cost: 1,900,000,000 Thrones, 150,000,000 Material, 18,000,000 Advanced Material .
Upkeep per year: -250,000 Thrones, -20,000 Material, -600 Advanced Material.
Reward: Replace ½ of your Helltroopers Impaler Rifles with Volkite Calivers and ½ with Pulse Rifles
Locked- Ten out of Eleven years completed
General Richards is in the final stages of reequipping her Helltroopers with Pulse Rifles and Volkite Calivers. She tells you that if she was forced to deploy now all of the Helltroopers would have the new weapons, though a portion of them would not be using them optimally.
Djinn Skein Gladiatoria: Military- Djinn Skein Gladiatoria can be used to help prepare your forces for conflict with conventional foes and for large scale battles. As such it would be a good idea to supply all of your boot camps and military bases with some, so that it can be worked into your standard training regime. While this will be expensive an increase in your troops combat power is more then worth the price.

Reward: Djinn Skein Gladiatoria training program for all regulars, +30 to combat skill
Locked- Five out of Twenty years completed
For the last five years General Richards has been working on building Djinn Skein Gladiatoria for your military forces, and preparing programs for their use. This is a massive undertaking and she expects that it will take over a decade more to finished constructing the Djinn Skein Gladiatoria, let alone having them fully operational.
Personal Attention: Landing Pads- Your recent investigation found that Landing Pads can be used in several important roles during planetary assaults, ranging from creating a beachhead to deploying flanking forces into existing AA envelopes. While moderately expensive it would be a good idea to have enough Landing Pads to deploy an entire army, and to ensure that your forces know how to use them.

Reward: 10,000 Regiments worth of Landing Pads
Complete
Four years ago you finished preparing your forces to use the large number of landing pads that you have created. This will allow you to rapidly deploy an entire mechanised armour on hostile worlds, or mechanised support for an even larger force of Paratroopers.
Personal Attention: Thunder Warriors: Laying the Path- Now that you know how to create Thunder Warriors General Richards would like to create a regiment, mostly in order determine the best way to train Thunder Warriors. This would take almost two decades and give you ten thousand deadly, but inexperienced soldiers. While by itself not worth the time and effort that this project would require it would lay the path for future Thunder Warriors, including Psyker Hunting ones. Given that the best use of Thunder Warriors seems to be as quickly produced elites in desperate times it would be best to prepare for them well in advance.

Reward: One Regiment of Thunder Warriors, allows training of more Thunder Warriors
Locked- Four out of Nineteen years completed
For the last four years you have been taking the first steps to the creation of Thunder Warrior Regiments. So far this has mostly consisted of beginning to build several complexes that can carry out the Thunder Warrior procedure to entire batches at a time and starting to put them into use. So far you have created four companies of Thunder Warriors, each of whom you are putting though slightly different training regimes. As the years go by you plan to trail an every larger number of training rigimes as you can begin adjusting them based on data from previous batches.

Expedite: Construct: Skeid Military Transport: Twice- Admiral Sarnow has recently proposed that Avernus build several Skeid Military Transports to help transport your ground forces. This will leave most of our smaller shipyards free for repairing Shadow Class Destroyers, many of which will be tithed to the Imperial Trust. Given that the Avernite Navy is intended to specialise in planetary assault having some Skeids would be incredibly useful.
Time: 5 years.
Cost: 2,000,000,000 Thrones, 1,200,000,000 Material, 17,000,000 Promethium, 920,000 Advanced Material, 5,800 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 100,000,000 Thrones, 58,000,000 Material, 7,200,000 Promethium, 38,000 Advanced Material, 96 Exotic Material.
Reward: Construct 8 Skeid Military Transports, build 86 Frigates for Trust
Complete
Locked- Two out of Four years: Expedited
Admiral Sarnow has continued to focus his military production on building up the number of Skeid Military Transports that he can field, and now has thirty-two commissioned with another eight under construction. This is getting close to the minimum that Avernus needs to properly deploy the Helltroopers.
Navigators Support- Between Void Abacuses and a Navigators Eyepiece you will be able to almost triple the speed that your ships move though the Warp at. While these will be pricey the sheer additional strategic speed will be worth the price, particularly given that they are small enough to be easily removed from the more vulnerable ships between entering a system and beginning combat.
Time: 8 years.
Cost: 760,000,000 Thrones, 3,000,000 Advanced Material, 170,000 Exotic Material, 380 Relic Material.
Upkeep per year: 38,000,000 Thrones, 150,000 Advanced Material, 8,500 Exotic Material, 19 Relic Material.
Reward: Void Abacuses and Navigators Eyepiece for all ships, Warp Speed average increased to 2.92LY/day, Warp reliability increased
Complete
Admiral Sarnow has informed you that the entire Avernite Navy is now supplied with Void Abacuses and Navigators Eyepieces, almost tripling your fleets Warp speed. He tells you that other elements in the Trust Fleet are also being supplied with this equipment, though only Avernus is currently equipping its entire fleet with them.
Repair Nanites- After a few years of investigation Admiral Sarnow determined the effects of Repair Nanites. He tells you that the repair nanites should be able to increase the life-expectancy of his ships by around a tenth while reducing the amount of time they need to spend in shipyards by a quarter. Possibly the most valuable in the long term however is that they should increase the percentage of your destroyed ships that are recoverable by around five percent and decrease the time and effort needed to repair them by a step.
Time: 12 years.
Cost: 5,800,000,000 Thrones, 4,500,000 Advanced Material, 51,000 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 2,900,000,000 Thrones, 2,300,000 Advanced Material, 6,500 Exotic Material.
Reward: Repair Nanites for all ships, +10% naval HP, -25% shipyard time, +5% hulk chances, +1 hulk condition
Complete
Three years ago Admrial Sarnow finished supplying the last of your warships with repair nanites. These nanites should be able to keep your ships in the fight longer, make them leave hulks in better conditions and reduce the amount of yard time that your ships need to spend for basic maintenance. Together this should have a massive effect on the number of ships you can field, and on the amount of time it takes for your fleet to recover from a major battle.
Shield Capacitors- Admiral Sarnow tells you that Shield Capacitors are small and cheap enough that it should not be that hard to provide them to all warships and defences. He tells you that as well as greatly reducing the time taken to bring your ships defences up to full they should be able to increase the life-expectancy of his ships by around a tenth, a small but significant amount. He strongly advises that you fully equip your warships with Shield Capacitors by the time you make contact with the Tyranids.
Time: 15 years.

Reward: Shield Capacitors for all ships and defences, +10% naval HP, reduce time taken to get shields up
Locked- Three out of Fifteen years completed
Over the last couple of years Admiral Sarnow has started to install shield capacitors in all of his warships and orbital defences. This will take a significant amount of time to complete, so he is starting with the heavier Warp capable ships and working his way down.
Expedite: Expand Shipyards: Large- Now that you have a huge shipyard it is possible to build large shipyards whole. This would increase the rate at which you can build capital ships and maintain anything short of battleships more easily. Admiral Parnell advises you to focus on this until you have all four large shipyards that you plan on constructing.
Time: 10 years. (can be taken twice)
Cost: 1,500,000,000 Thrones, 220,000,000 Material, 110,000,000 Metal, 220,000,000 Promethium, 41,000 Advanced Material, 1,900 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 300,000,000 Thrones, 44,000,000 Material, 22,000,000 Metal, 22,000,000 Promethium
Reward: 1 new large shipyard
Locked- One out of Nine years completed
Over the last year Admiral Sarnow has started work on the next expansion of your shipyards, which will add another small but significant boost to your shipyards capacity. So far this expansion is in the earliest stages with the shipyards skeleton still taking shape.
Personal Attention: Implement (Psychic Cannons): Naval- You gained several new naval technologies from the Grand Conclave, and will need to determine how to best make use of them. Admiral Sarnow tells you that it will take him almost half a decade to make a proper investigation.
Time: 4 years
Cost: 390,000,000 Thrones, 78,000,000 Material, 7,900,000 Promethium, 850,000 Advanced Material, 950 Exotic Material.
Reward: Plan on how to implement chosen technology
Complete
You spent four years working out how to best make use of the Psychic Cannon, one of the most advanced technologies that you gained at the Grand Conclave. The Psychic Cannon is an incredibly useful piece of technology, being able to banish deamonship with a single good hit and cause major disruptions to other targets. Its size and power requirements are a bit less then a Superlance, making it easy to redesign ships to use it. There is only one downside to the Psychic Cannon, which is it price. The Psychic Cannon is both massive and one of the most advanced pieces of technology you know how to build, a combination that adds up to the point where even with Nanoforges building and maintaining more then a comparative handful will put major strain on your relic material production. This makes the Psychic Cannon a useful ace that can get in key shots against powerful foes, but not something you will ever be able to use en mass.

The population growth of Avernus has slowed slightly to an average of 1.22% over the last half decade.
Technological Improvements: (Food): Four times-The Imperial Trust gained access to a massive amount of new technology in the Grand Conclave which you will be able to use to almost double your food production. This will require major retooling of massive portions of Avernus and will be a time consuming and expensive process, but will allow you to easily provide for even a significantly larger population.

Signe has continued to focus a large amount of her attention on putting into practice the better agricultural methods that you have gained access to. This continues to be a long and involved project, but she has managed to put enough into practice that you are no longer drawing on your food stores to keep your population fully fed.
Knight Landhold- One idea to integrate the Knights now sworn to the House of Rotbart into your people, and the one they would prefer, is to knight, or given Avernus group of Knights, a small landholding in Tarascon, which they will control and defend. This would result in your knights getting constant combat experience against foes that are a threat to them, cutting down on their numbers but honing their skill. These landholds would most likely be Thundabeast Pens, allowing you to build up the number of Thundabeast Riders you can field, as well as maintain your soon to be veteran Knights.

Reward: Build Thundabeast Pens to contain up to 160,000 Thundabeasts, put them under the Knights protection, giving your Knights experience and reducing upkeep
Locked- Five out of Seven years completed
For the last five years Signe has been working with Sigmund on setting up landholds in Tarascon for your knights. She tells you that this has required a bit of negotiation but in general Avernites are a lot more willing to accept noble leaders when said leaders are personally fighting to protect them in the bush, and that the Knights are getting pretty good at defending their landholds as they are being constructed. Interesting enough old records tell you that the first Knights became nobles in large part by defending the people of their landholds against varies dangers sin a very similar fashion, so this is in a way a return to their roots for the Aesir.
Construction Expertise (Build Hive (Tarascon, Center Area))- There are several of your regions that have good locations to build a new Hive in, allowing your population and economy to grow further without expanding into a new region. As things stand you could build 1 Hive in Avernus' Spine, 3 in The Fair isles, 1 in Lindon, 2 in The Fens, 12 in Elysium and 2 in Aridia.

Four years ago you finished putting into practice the next set of educational reforms that Antoni designed before his untimely death. These reforms should noticeably improve your populations ability to use the advanced technology that surrounds them, increasing the strength of your economy by a small but valuable percentage. Its strange to think of ten billion Thrones a year as small, there is a time when the entire economy of the Imperial Trust was not much over ten billion Thrones a year.
Technological Improvements: (Food): Four times-The Imperial Trust gained access to a massive amount of new technology in the Grand Conclave which you will be able to use to almost double your food production. This will require major retooling of massive portions of Avernus and will be a time consuming and expensive process, but will allow you to easily provide for even a significantly larger population.

Knight Landhold- One idea to integrate the Knights now sworn to the House of Rotbart into your people, and the one they would prefer, is to knight, or given Avernus group of Knights, a small landholding in Tarascon, which they will control and defend. This would result in your knights getting constant combat experience against foes that are a threat to them, cutting down on their numbers but honing their skill. These landholds would most likely be Thundabeast Pens, allowing you to build up the number of Thundabeast Riders you can field, as well as maintain your soon to be veteran Knights.

For the last five years Signe has been working with Sigmund on setting up landholds in Tarascon for your knights. She tells you that this has required a bit of negotiation but in general Avernites are a lot more willing to accept noble leaders when said leaders are personally fighting to protect them in the bush, and that the Knights are getting pretty good at defending their landholds as they are being constructed. Interesting enough old records tell you that the first Knights became nobles in large part by defending the people of their landholds against varies dangers sin a very similar fashion, so this is in a way a return to their roots for the Aesir.
Construction Expertise (Build Hive (Tarascon, Center Area))- There are several of your regions that have good locations to build a new Hive in, allowing your population and economy to grow further without expanding into a new region.

Over the last five years an average of three hundred and eighty cultists were found each year, the lowest number for decades.
Of the 13,446 major psykers found over the last five years 1,015 of them were Chaotic, a normal proportion.
757 Chaotic Psykers consisting of 18 Beta-levels, 68 Gamma-levels, 194 Delta-levels, 362 Epsilon-levels and 363 Zeta-levels were killed without causing any significant levels of damage over the last five years.
2 Alpha-levels, 2 Beta-levels, 2 Gamma-levels, and 1 Epsilon-level caused damage over the last five years.
The untainted major Psykers included 1 Alpha-level, 22 Beta-levels, 142 Gamma-levels, 882 Delta-levels, 3,674 Epsilon-levels and 7,710 Zeta-levels.
903,054 minor Psykers were located by the Witch Finders over the last five years, a fraction of a percent more then the previous five years as always. Jane has noted that the percent of all Psykers found that are major has continued to increase at a steady rate.
Expedite: Expand Psyker Hunters- According to Jane your population and military has grown large enough that you could easily double the size of your Psyker Hunter Academies, it would not even take that long.

This will result in her training tens of thousands of new Psyker Hunters every year, all of whom will be recruited from among Avernus' best warriors. Given a few decades this should lead to the Psyker Hunters growing into a division sized force.
Greater Psyker Hunting: Five times- Jane is incredibly skilled at hunting down and killing powerful psykers.

Four years ago Archmagos Tranth finished designing a battleship sized Black Ship, the first Black Ship designed since the early days of the Imperium. He tells you that he has designed the Black Ship to be almost entirely defensive, forfeiting the majority of its weapons for powerful engines for its size and thick armour. This will allow a Black Ship to easily outrun anything, human, with the firepower to threaten it, preserving its valuable cargo from attack. This is highly valuable given the fact that due to its very nature no Navigator can pilot a Black Ship, meaning that it will travel slowly within the Warp and have to enter a system well outside the usual Warp limits, in a rather unpredictable location.
Special Issue Impaler- Recently Archmagos examined the fundamental mechanics of Impaler technology in an attempt to discover if there was any room for improvement. He found that it would be possible to create Impalers able to fire special issue ammunition, though at the cost of some rate of fire and magazine capacity as well as the logistics that make Impalers a worthy replacement of the lasgun. While not a weapon able to replace basic Impalers Special Issue Impalers could be valuable if assigned to specialised units within your PDF or skilled marksmen.

Archmagos Tranth spent three years working on creating a set of Special Issue Impalers, and several types of ammunition that they can fire. He has created variants of all Impalers smaller then a heavy Impaler, of which the Special Issue Sniper is by far the best. He tells you that the Special Issue Impaler have around half of the rate of fire of a normal Impaler, but can safely fire the spacial issue ammunition that he has created for it. The current types of Special Issue Ammunition are Penetrators, which are significantly better at peicing amrour, Needler Spikes, which inject a selected poison into the target, Inferno Spikes which ignite their target, Silenced Spikes which move though the air soundlessly ans Tracker Spikes, which inject the target with a mid range tracking beacon allowing their movements to be tracked. Special Issue Impalers are more expansive to produce then normal designs but cheaper then any of your more advanced weapons. This means that you will be able to deploy them in large numbers, though their trade-offs with normal Impalers mean that you will probably only use them in specialist formations and as special weapons. The one exception for this is the Special Issue Impaler Sniper, which finds the reduced maximum rate of fire irrelevant given its normal use and the added capabilities to be highly valuable.
Double Down: Gravitic Array: Programming- Now that he knows what the Gravatic Array can be used for it is time for Archmagos Tranth to figure out how to create programs that will allow him to use it.

He tells you that he has designed the Black Ship to be almost entirely defensive, forfeiting the majority of its weapons for powerful engines for its size and thick armour. This will allow a Black Ship to easily outrun anything, human, with the firepower to threaten it, preserving its valuable cargo from attack. This is highly valuable given the fact that due to its very nature no Navigator can pilot a Black Ship, meaning that it will travel slowly within the Warp and have to enter a system well outside the usual Warp limits, in a rather unpredictable location.
Special Issue Impaler- Recently Archmagos examined the fundamental mechanics of Impaler technology in an attempt to discover if there was any room for improvement. He found that it would be possible to create Impalers able to fire special issue ammunition, though at the cost of some rate of fire and magazine capacity as well as the logistics that make Impalers a worthy replacement of the lasgun. While not a weapon able to replace basic Impalers Special Issue Impalers could be valuable if assigned to specialised units within your PDF or skilled marksmen.

Archmagos Tranth spent three years working on creating a set of Special Issue Impalers, and several types of ammunition that they can fire. He has created variants of all Impalers smaller then a heavy Impaler, of which the Special Issue Sniper is by far the best. He tells you that the Special Issue Impaler have around half of the rate of fire of a normal Impaler, but can safely fire the spacial issue ammunition that he has created for it. The current types of Special Issue Ammunition are Penetrators, which are significantly better at peicing amrour, Needler Spikes, which inject a selected poison into the target, Inferno Spikes which ignite their target, Silenced Spikes which move though the air soundlessly ans Tracker Spikes, which inject the target with a mid range tracking beacon allowing their movements to be tracked. Special Issue Impalers are more expansive to produce then normal designs but cheaper then any of your more advanced weapons. This means that you will be able to deploy them in large numbers, though their trade-offs with normal Impalers mean that you will probably only use them in specialist formations and as special weapons. The one exception for this is the Special Issue Impaler Sniper, which finds the reduced maximum rate of fire irrelevant given its normal use and the added capabilities to be highly valuable.
Double Down: Gravitic Array: Programming- Now that he knows what the Gravatic Array can be used for it is time for Archmagos Tranth to figure out how to create programs that will allow him to use it. He tells you that this will be a complex task that will require much experimentation, and very deep surveys of the Helheim systems gravity.

After over half a decades study Archmagos Biologis Maximal has been able to gather a great deal of information on the Threnody Dragons of Tarascon. He tells you that Threnody Dragons are in many ways an example of how far normal biology can be pushed without using the Warp biology, with their flight, strength and toughness being entirely mundane, though he does mention that their muscular system and skeleton have more in common with advanced engineering then biology, and that they make use of multiple highly advanced metallic alloys in their basic biology. In fact according to Archmagos Maximal Threnody Dragons seem to be a living machine as much as anything else.
Impressive as their makeup is it pales before the sheer level of resistance that it provides their body's against direct Warp effects, which is strong enough for Threnody Dragons to survive being entirely immersed in pure Warp energies without mutation or even negative effects. This means that a Threnody Dragon is quite likely capable of surviving in the Warp totally unprotected for a period, even without using its powers.
This brings Archmagos Biologis Maximal to the Threnody Dragons powers, which are quite simply terrifying. Threnody Dragons level of psychic power is hard to read due to their Warp resistant nature but is believed to be incredibly high, due to their effects. According to several Threnody Dragons that Archmagos Maximal has talked to the only way in which they use their powers is via what they call the Voice, which is speaking Words of Power of incredible effect. These Words of Power seem to be able to almost rewrite the Warp itself to an extent, and therefore reality, and using them seems to trigger a backlash of incredible strength from the Warp. Feats that Archmagos Maximal has seen from words of power include the creation of what seems to be Conceptional Fire, creating Warp Portals for teleportation, permanent transmutation of matter and similar. While many Psykers can pull of similar feats what stands out about the Words of Power of Threnody Dragon's is how utterly they override other psychic effects. Archmagos Biologis Maximal believes that while it is almost certainly impossible for humans to use Threnody Dragon's Words of Power studying them may still prove worthwhile.

Expand Military Forces: Mechanicus- Fabricator-General Scott believes that it is time to expand the military power of the Avernite Mechanicus in order to properly defend the Forge-Hives. She proposes training an entire army of Tech-Guard, two corps of Skitarii and two hundred Battle Congregations. This force would be highly expensive but allow the deployment of a massive number of devastating troops. It represents the shift in force composition of the Mechanicus military that Fabricator-General Scott plans over time, with the emphasis being moved from massive armies of cybernetically enhanced soldiers to smaller elite forces making use of highly advanced technology and cybernetics. In particular the vast increase in the number of Battle Congregations fielded should prove to be devastating.

Fabricator-General Scott is in the final stages of her major increase of the local Mechanicus armed forces. She has now raised almost three new corps of Tech-Guard and two corps of Skitarii, and the majority of two divisions of Battle Congregations. As things stand she only needs to wait for the final few Battle Congregations to be fully mustered in order to finish this project.
Investigate Battle Automata- One of the designs provided by Callamus was for a series of Battle Automata, which can be used to provide a powerful, fearless military force. It will take a few years of work for Fabricator-General Scott and Archmagos Prime Sahr to determine how to best make use of them though.

Complete
Fabricator-General Scott has spent four years working with his military advisers working out how to use the Battle Automata that Callamus provided you with the designs for. He tells you that Battle Automata seem to be designed to act as independent armoured formations of walkers in a heavy combat role in short to medium rnages. There are half a dozen different builds, each of which has multiple variants, that seem to be designed to work together. In general a Battle Automata formation will be a highly durable unit designed for high intensity combat in all but the most restrictive of terrains, but unable to deal with wars of manoeuvre or harassment. This is a role that none of your armour is really designed for, barring some of your superheavies. Price wise Battle Automata Formations will be significantly more expensive then tradition armour, but not overly so.
Technological Improvements: (Advanced Material)-The Imperial Trust gained access to a massive amount of new technology in the Grand Conclave which you will be able to use to over double your advanced material production. This will require major retooling of your forges and will be a time consuming and expensive process, but will allow Avernus to easily cover its current Advanced Material needs.

Saint Lin's meditations on the nature of Gork and Mork have recently reached their end, and he has come up with a good deal of information on them. To begin with he tells you that Grok and Mork are both Religious Gods created by the beliefs of the Orks, and that they share all of their domains, though to different levels. He tells you that to confuse matters even more which of them has a stronger claim on any given domain changes regularly, though the two are always even.
Between them Gork and Mork have restricted domains over Waaagh,fighting, war, technology, strength and cunning, which between them cover almost everything that Orks do. They also draw a great deal of power from the worship of nearly every living Ork, making them the most powerful forces within the Warp. Even more terrifyingly given that they have only recently woken and gain a large proportion of their power from faith, which can be stored they could have tens of millions of years worth of power stored, an unimaginable amount
Gork and Mork are a pair of Religious Gods born out of the belief of Orks in the aftermath of the War in Heaven, though he is not sure exactly how far back. He is sure however that they were born within a million years of the War in Heaven, making them some of the oldest gods still living, with only the Blood God, the Eldar Pantheon and perhaps the Plague God being older.
Gork and Mork are inextricably linked to the Waaagh field of the Orks, and it can be hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. This makes it hard to determine exactly what the blessings that they give to their worshippers are, though it is believed that many of the effects of the Ork Waaagh can be better laid at their feet. It is known however that the recent massive surge in the power of the Ork Waaagh field is a result of their awakening, and is believed to be a result of them expanding some of their gathered power of faith to enhance the Waagh field.
The strengths and weaknesses of the Ork Gods can be gathered simply by looking into the Orks that worship them, who are made fully in their image, or more accurately who made the Ork Gods in their own image.

Saint Lin's meditations on the nature of the Primal Warp have recently been completed, and he has made many discoveries on this little known aspect of the Warp. He tells you that the Warp is shaped by the souls of all who live, from the merest plant to the greatest of heroes, and that the Primal Warp is the layer of the Warp created by plants and animals. While the souls of plants and animals are far weaker then those of people, they make up the vast majority of all living things and are pretty much everywhere there is life. While some of their energy ends up going to traditional gods the majority ends up draining into the Primal Warp, which has similarities both with a divine realm within the Warp and an entirely separate layer of the Warp.
The Primal Warp is a layer beneath the more well known layer of the Warp that rather then being controlled by gods is influenced by the primal Spirits of nature, such as the Hunt, Shelter, Fertility, the Prey and countless others, including World Spirits of most worlds. These Spirits are far further from what we would call an ordinary mind then even the Primal Gods, and whether they even have agency is unknown. While they seem to clash and compete with each other, that is only on the surface, and a closer look shows that the Primal Warp is a fully functioning ecosystem, created by all of its forces. It is possible for Psykers to draw on the Primal Warp, though this can only be done by those with a close connection to nature, and their own inner animal. Those who drawn on the Primal Warp gain far less brute power then conventional Psykers, and in many ways less ability to manipulate their power. On the other hand power drawn from the Primal Warp is far more easily controlled by those that know how, and can be used for feats that would be near impossible for regular Psykers due to both this and its unique nature. The most common people to draw on the Primal Warp are Shamans of primitive cultures, though they are not the only ones. Saint Lin believes that it is likely that some Eldar Exodites may also be in touch with the Primal Warp, and knows that the Rune Priests of the Space Wolves were. In fact he suspects that known how to draw on the Primal Warp is one of the reasons that the 13th Great Company was able to survive in the Eyeof Terror for thousands of years after their last ship was destroyed, and how they were able to teleport from world to world so easily.
According to Saint Lin the power of the Primal Warp seems to be incompatible with Chaos on a fundamental level, sliding off it where it can and being destroyed by it rather then being corrupted. Saint Lin wonders if this is a result of the nature of Chaos, and its connection to the Primordial Sea being incompatible with life, or if it is something about the Primal Warp itself.
Expedite: Expand Witch Hunters- According to Jane your population and military has grown large enough that you could easily double the size of your Witch Hunter Academies, it would not even take that long. This would allow you to rapidly expand your number of Witch Hunters, hopefully enough to keep ahead of the growing number of Psykers you have to deal with.

After a few more years of meditations Saint Lin was able to find out what he can about Created Gods, those Gods created whole by mortals. He tells you that Created Gods are closer to Transcendent Gods then other Gods, in that they can survive without any domain or worshippers, and in that they have their own independent power source. A Created God has a core personality and purpose that is it is made with, and is highly unlikely to ever change. This gives them a level of focus and direction that many gods lack, and a level of sanity that only Transcendent Gods can match. However they are often obsessive, even by god standard, about whatever their initial purpose was.
Like all gods Created Gods are able to gain power from their worshippers and from any domains that they lay claim to, though they will be born entirely without domains or worshippers. However they also have an additional source of power that they were made with, and that they can use in ways that the more divine power sources can not be used. This power is most likely what allowed the Eldar Gods to survive so long after being consumed by the Dark Prince, feeding them power even when cut off from their worshippers and domains.
Cleanse World (Medium)- There are thirteen tainted worlds recently captured from Valinor. Of these worlds six are lightly tainted, six are moderately tainted and one is heavily tainted.

The most common people to draw on the Primal Warp are Shamans of primitive cultures, though they are not the only ones. Saint Lin believes that it is likely that some Eldar Exodites may also be in touch with the Primal Warp, and knows that the Rune Priests of the Space Wolves were. In fact he suspects that known how to draw on the Primal Warp is one of the reasons that the 13th Great Company was able to survive in the Eyeof Terror for thousands of years after their last ship was destroyed, and how they were able to teleport from world to world so easily.
According to Saint Lin the power of the Primal Warp seems to be incompatible with Chaos on a fundamental level, sliding off it where it can and being destroyed by it rather then being corrupted. Saint Lin wonders if this is a result of the nature of Chaos, and its connection to the Primordial Sea being incompatible with life, or if it is something about the Primal Warp itself.
Expedite: Expand Witch Hunters- According to Jane your population and military has grown large enough that you could easily double the size of your Witch Hunter Academies, it would not even take that long. This would allow you to rapidly expand your number of Witch Hunters, hopefully enough to keep ahead of the growing number of Psykers you have to deal with. Jane strongly requests that you begin work on these expansions immediately.

After a few more years of meditations Saint Lin was able to find out what he can about Created Gods, those Gods created whole by mortals. He tells you that Created Gods are closer to Transcendent Gods then other Gods, in that they can survive without any domain or worshippers, and in that they have their own independent power source. A Created God has a core personality and purpose that is it is made with, and is highly unlikely to ever change. This gives them a level of focus and direction that many gods lack, and a level of sanity that only Transcendent Gods can match. However they are often obsessive, even by god standard, about whatever their initial purpose was.
Like all gods Created Gods are able to gain power from their worshippers and from any domains that they lay claim to, though they will be born entirely without domains or worshippers. However they also have an additional source of power that they were made with, and that they can use in ways that the more divine power sources can not be used. This power is most likely what allowed the Eldar Gods to survive so long after being consumed by the Dark Prince, feeding them power even when cut off from their worshippers and domains.
Cleanse World (Medium)- There are thirteen tainted worlds recently captured from Valinor. Of these worlds six are lightly tainted, six are moderately tainted and one is heavily tainted. Saint Lin believes that with a few decades work he could totally cleanse the worlds, or at least reduce the level of taint.

Saint Lin has spent the last year cleansing the world of Helcaraxë from the majority of its taint. This Ice World is now lightly tainted enough that colonists from Nilfheim would be able to easily colonise it, with their nature being more then enough to protect them from the remaining taint on the world.

High Grandmaster Ridcully has provided a report on how the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Grábakr have changed as a result of the War in the Void. He tells you that the Tyranids now operative in a totally different manner, relying on psychic power and agility rather then numbers and armour. Actually rather similar to how Eldar fight. On the ground this means that rather then deploying numberless hordes of Gaunts Tyranids now rely on what could best be described as psyker Genestealers as their main combat forces, and that their heavy combat units are more often powerful Psykers like Zoanthropes rather then assault beasts such as Carnifexes. While in space it means that Tyranid Bio-Ships augment their attacks with psychic powers and use their high level of agility, and a form of active cloaking to avoid return fire. However the most dangerous new trick that the Tyranids have picked up is that this change has strengthened the Shadow in the Warp greatly, and that it can now be used to pretty much cut off all forms of teleportation and phasing within a system wide area of a large enough Hive Fleet. This includes Warp travel and daemonic summoning, though it may be possible to power though it with a powerful enough ritual, and it is likely that Webway travel remains possible.

year one roll d100=77+49(control)+110(Traits)+20(double down)-50(Shadow in the Warp)=206: Critical Success
High Grandmaster Ridcully Ridcully spent a year looking into the size and intended route of Hive Fleet Grábakr. He tells you that the Hive Fleet contains one Dreadnought sized Hiveship thirteen Command Battleship sized Hiveships, one thousand four hundred hundred Hiveships, and over fifteen thousand lesser capital ships. This fleet is supported by over one and fifty thousand escorts. In total this fleet outnumbers the forces of Amir-ka twofold, and your own fleet by even more.
It will hit fifty-one of Amir-ka's worlds in the first wave, sixty in the second wave, sixty-nine in the third wave and eighty-five worlds in the fourth and final wave, with the remaining hundred and eighty-eight worlds not being hit by the Hive Fleet, either due to be outside of the area it is advancing though, being daemon worlds or due to not containing much biomass to consume. Additionally the Hive Fleet will hit eighty-one worlds held by lesser chaotic forces, forty held by Orks, nineteen human and the single system held by the Boessaewth. Each world taken will increase the size of the Hive Fleet by around 0.5% of its current size.

High Grandmaster Ridcully spent a year helping Dragon's Nest deal with infiltrators of varying types. Due to the scale of Dragon's Nest he was forced to focus on only the most dangerous infiltrators and their cells, which included an Adeptus Mechanicus Magos, several senior Administratum Adepts and an Cruiser Captain. While these traitors have been removed High Grandmaster Ridcully is sure that there are thousands of spies in less critical positions that have so far avoided notice.
Spreading the Word- High Grandmaster Ridcully is one of the best living seers, and probably the only one in the region who knows of the approach of Hive Fleet Grábakr.

Next the Dunce Cap can be used as an ingredient in a poison that targets the victims intelligence, though it takes a master to create it. Third Alchemical Slug's blood can be used to strengthen the effect of another reagent.

Both High Grandmaster Ridcully and Grandmaster Aria spent a year mentoring Avanti Salzwedel, an Alpha-level Biomancer/Diviner who recently too the trails. They tell you that without their aide Avanti would most likely have failed the trials, though not by much. As it is she was able to pass the trials by a large enough margin that she is joining the ranks of the Elite Primaris Psykers of Avernus
Time: 10 years
Chance of Success: 20% (uses average of learning and control)
Cost: 38,000,000 Thrones, 740,000 Advanced Material, 84,000 Exotic Material, 20 Relic Material.

For the last two years Tamia has turned her attention towards warding the Ultra-Secure Vault under Dis. You hope that her genius and skill with runes will allow her to succeed where Aria's incredible control over her power failed.
Mentoring: Alpha: Twice- Given the high rate of failure for the more powerful psykers High Grandmaster Ridcully would like to have some of his best psykers mentor the second Alpha-level in the years leading up to her trials. This will hopefully be enough to increase her chance of passing by a significant degree.

Huh is there something wrong with these since I didn't think we got hit that hard by chaotic psykers and I don't see the chaotic Alpha in the caused damage section?

Sweet aside from the ork tech bane, everything turned out very good for us all. And even the tech bane is not a major loss since we are not the targets of the orks. Hopefully, we can convince the high council to allow us to nudge the rest of the powers to see the incoming Nids. So anything that messes with psykers or warp/psychic powers should be the most useful when fighting these new Nids. The Psychic Cannon seems to be best used to take out the huge Hiveships with the few that we build concentrating their fire on those until it is dead.

I wonder if that nat hundred is enough to raise Lin's Piety a bit more.
Sure, reaching Transcendant in the next few year is almost impossible, but with this and then another natural crit on the high-risk Sea action it might be possible.

Doing Fundamentals Psychic Cannon is very important, because it lets us develop a ground version. The Psychic Cannon would be great versus the tyranids. By hitting their Hive Mind, it'll disrupt their communications, their psychic powers, and the shadow in the warp. It wouldn't knock them out of the fight but it'd hurt them better than anything else we have.

That's a shame, if Lin doesn't get a trait or upgrade on a nat 100 is it safe to assume that despite his trait, he won't be getting more traits unless we put him through a Ridcully level adventure?

New traits are always aquired in the turn-update, not the results.
He might get one from this result.

Its like building the titans, the result of a long chain. Unfortunately not all of those were Tranths so I feel its less likely to get a bonus.
Working with his, should be her. He tells you, should be She tells you.
short to medium rnages, should be ranges
then tradition armour, should be than traditional armour
Oh, I agree its less likely, but its sufficiently big, that I'm willing to actively hope for a trait. I gotta admit. I really want Tranth to go Transcendent learning. Or at least reach 59 in it. Maybe get some kind of crazy Paragon Explorator thing or something. I don't know. Just like him a bunch and what him to get even more amazing.

We all want a Transcendent. We won't get one off this. +1L +10 to rolls designing ships if Durin is in a good mood.
Oh sure, not off this specifically, but every little step along the path helps. Also... wonder what it would take for The Governator to reach paragon blademaster, which would hopefully get him 2 more paragon traits. Or for Jane or her son to get Transcendent Combat. Both of them are at 59. Should mean if they get into a major combat they'd have a chance of doing something more yeah?
pretty sure that's part of the "other actions left to after High Council meeting" thing. Which I think means we'll see the results during/after the high council interlude, possibly because the council will request a specific divination different from what we planned.

hm...good lin-roll. I hope getting a 100 on the anti-chaos effect will help with the warp-sea or whatever.
also good black-ship roll.
pity about the tech-bane, but as others have noted, it won't matter for a while so its just wasted time/resources.
also, we got a new alpha! they are a div/biomancer, so I imagine they will be in good hands with rid's.
but I would note that as awesome as the biomancy is since he can work on giving us longer life-spans for our characters and maybe help fix the TW's(...assuming he has good learning at least), but on the other hand, he probably will get boosts in some way for working with rid.
maybe we now get extra divination action thats probably way weaker? (so probably we will have them focus on local stuff? maybe once he gets better he can "join hands" with rids to give rid a boost? probably more so for large scale actions rather then long-range actions (so divinations on the long-range get a smaller boost but ones looking across a entire planet in the local-area get a nice boost......so probably not good for the free-divination that rid's gives us).
finnally, I recall someone noting that maybe the max-chance a alpha can have of passing the trials is 65%, any bonus's past that are wasted. However, their theory was that getting more alphas to pass would mean that maybe we can raise this since we have more practice teaching high-power psykers (and more psykers with similar power-levels to teach them their own experiences)
@Durin
(1): I always got the impression that good tech rolls get us better techs, so, what would we have gotten if it was only just passing?
would you have had it not be as customized to be as good at out-running enemy ships?
(2): (this question is out of order as I'm adding it after the fact of reading later posts)
what level tech-fundlemental is the psykic cannon fundlemental? relic or advanced? (I'm guessing anyway?)
(3): course, I'm assuming that the best way to redesign for ground is the fundamentals....
could we do a more ....focused? fundamentals action to reduce the difficulty of it?
I'm real hopeful that we can spread this tech to other things, if its not a relic-level tech I'm pushing that we hop on this NOW, and maybe even if it was.
also good black-ship roll.
