I honestly forget at this point but do we have any natural satellites/moons/planets we can expand to or do we just have good ol' hellscape Avernus?
We could offer some as a thrilling vacation where you dont have to worry about psychically mutating animal that want to wreck your day

Avernus does not have any, but there are several other planets in the system one of which has a bunch of inhabited moons. more people live on the moons then Avernus actually
 
The helim system is effectively two worlds worth of stuff. We have the gas giant with a major systems worth of moons that has grown into one of the major industrial centers of the trust, and the giant psychic death world/research lab that is Avernus. If I recall, the vast majority of our resources and production is from the moons.
 
Damn, what a toll those uprisings had.

As usual, the corruptive effects of chaos are more dangerous than their physical forces. At least, for the more powerful human (and thus living) factions of the galaxy.

Probably because we've gone so heavily into fortification and troop quality. Its a benefit when killing them in battle, but a massive determent when our own people turn. On the plus side, so far every incursion has given us at least one point of P planet-wide. So we're slowly getting more resistant to taint.
 
So, how many Siren Credits did we get from this? Millions of souls is practically guaranteed to earn us quite a few.
 
yeah, the reason you lost so many troops is that every Avernite cultists is at a minimum a soldier trained and equipped to a level that only the stormtroopers in the Imperium could match, and fighting from layered fortified postions

Will the Crimson Crusaders stick around? They're in bad shape. At very least, since the VG are more or less filled out, we can let them recruit up a bit.

What of the Space Wolf? I don't think he can get to Leman or Fenris.
 
Well this was just rage inducing. We pretty much spent a ton of money and resources for nothing due to us halting certain projects which lead to them pretty much losing all progress we made on said projects back to year zero, don't think getting sent back to year on makes any difference in this case. Worst it just felt like a complete waste to even bother spending time coming up with a vote since we pretty much needed to drop everything or else even the QM admitted we'd be screwed otherwise.

If this is the crap we are going to deal with every damn chaos incursion rather we just have it automated to deal with it since we don't really have much of a choice since we apparently do need to drop everything for chaos incursions or else we are screwed and at least we won't be wasting time coming up with plans since we can just skip to the next turn making post incursion planning less tedious.

Looking at what we went through do we even want Lin anywhere near Avernus or anywhere else really even if he does survive? Because honestly having him around doesn't seem worth it since nothing is stopping the Abomination from trying again and again until he succeeds meaning even if he does luck out with transcendence seems like we'd just be eating more directed incursions in the future. Which means his aura and research become pretty much useless since we probably wouldn't want him on Avernus if we have to deal with this bullshit on a regular basis and he'd probably need to move to the Webway just to avoid being killed by the Abom who seems like the type to just keep trying until he succeeds.

Not exaggerating considering Durin mentioned that we had a 90 percent chance of an Abom incursion happening thanks to having Lin around. Really does seem like it actually wouldn't be bad if he ended up dying during his last act.

In fairness, an Exalted is basically a Chaos God's direct attention. We managed to give a shallow cut to one of the setting's Big Bads, despite being a Minor Power. Seems like par for the course, to be honest. I mean, this is like Ollanius actually managing to cut Horus, and then NOT DIE. Of course we got our faces smashed in afterward. I'd be surprised if otherwise.

Actually it was the Ancient One that perma killed the Exalted. Pretty sure he was bound to do it some time since it is literally his job to fight those guys.
 
Given how good the seer was in this fight, make me wonder what the eldar seers very thinking about this. Because this was him at his 'A game' year after year. Plus he is difficult to divine if one is not divine (I think), so their normal way of 'thinking' the situation (probably) fails.

So to me they had lost minutes of their time thinking things 'wait, what', 'no, this should not be happening' and them losing (real time) days trying to deal with the situation :)

His write reports at this period of time are probably amazing too ^^.
