Wouldn't Ohone taking command be a terrible goddamn idea since she has no experience leading even a single ship in space combat, let alone something of this magnitude? I propose we find the most competent general/admiral/high lord/whatever we can and put our ship at their disposal until the raiders are dead and Anna is made into a Turducken.

Get involved isn't the same as taking command. We should get involved because I want to see what the fancy archeotech poo poo does and how much of it we can copy and/or repossess.

I'm down with Plan JT Jag for action, and Plan Tran for fashion. These people won't be impressed by a suit of power armour. Being able to project your power without such things is far more impressive.

Addendum to Tran plan: if the red color typical of the Inquisition is at all different from the red of Mars, use the Techpriest's color as the accent for the robes instead. There's a possibility there might be a couple shades of differentiation there.

Since we were just in our Gods presence, and no one really knows much, can we say that He told us we could take every bit of tech and data that isn't nailed down? There's got to be some fun stuff we could use. I'm trying to bring back some of the rogue trader to this I also vote for starting powerplays to get a High Lord position. Then we can start shifting people to the true faith (Worship the Holy AI and the Saint Fabyian)

If we start claiming divine right to steal poo poo I'm pretty sure the Ecclesiarch will have something to say. Probably along the lines of "Seize her" or "Heresy". You know, what with being on the council of high lords we're having an audience with.

Current: 389,741 Feb 1 Goal: 500,000 Outer Cloud One thing that naval commanders have to constantly remind their land-bound brethren of is the fact that space is big. Natural inclination with an Imperial Guard general is to (for example) set up artillery on a mountain, plot the grids of nearby roads and towns, and call it a day. Creating a blockade isn’t particularly difficult when you only have to worry about a handful of square kilometers. Telling a general that any given system is going to be essentially undefended is therefore going to cause a frothing rage, particularly when that system is Terra, homeland of Humanity. The battlefield is a trillion kilometers across, and it is a sphere, not a mostly two-dimensional surface. Even with every rock in the Outer Cloud weaponized (and many are) they are still separated by millions of kilometers from each other. The other thing is that the transition paths are (for the most part) predictable. If you were defending a road on a planet, dropping artillery rounds would be a matter of seconds - perhaps minutes, depending on the time it takes to pass the order. The convoy, in effect, wouldn’t see it coming. In space, things are a bit different. For one, just seeing the enemy convoy can take minutes for the light to arrive. Many (the majority, even) posts in the Cloud will only see the enemy days after their drop out of Warp. So, you are a hereditary Fleetsman. You are living on a rock in Cloud, as your family has for generations. You get the message of emerging Chaos fleets - not a drill, the real thing. The information is already minutes, hours old. Perhaps days. You wake up the family, start readying the macrocannons. And here is the other part where land generals might be surprised. These weapon pods sit down and do a gently caress-ton of math. The light of the enemy arrived x amount of time ago. They were travelling along this avenue of approach at this speed. If they stay at this speed, and you are moving at this speed (in a different orbit), and you fire a macrocannon - how fast does it need to be going to explode where you think they will be? The calculations can take dozens of minutes, which in themselves change the variables. And that presumes everything goes right, the family wakes up, the macrocannon works, the math is correct. Still. In the days after their arrival, millions of mountain-sized projectiles are fired at the Chaos fleet. Here is the other part that differs from land-based combat: the Chaos fleets can see the projectiles approaching. Instead of just a simple ‘take cover!’, they have hours, days to map out the arcs, make a course change. Some projectiles have time to approach sub-relativistic speeds, and arrive seconds after the light of their image is seen. Millions of cultists and daemons die in the interim. The majority of the projectiles miss, fly into the void to be devoured by gravity wells in some millennia hence. And then the light of the course changes arrives at the defense pods, and the cycle begins all over again. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLpgxry542M Loel fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Dec 16, 2015 |

Current: 390,269 Feb 1 Goal: 500,000 Hunger Fleets When the Horus Heresy ended, the forces of Chaos retreated back to the Warp. Millions of Chaos Space Marines, trillions of fallen guardsmen, their Tech-Priests and their slaves all entered the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom, hiding within it for a time more suited for their needs. Fallen Primarchs and Daemon Princes rewrote worlds for their needs. However, while some parts of the Dark Mechanicus joined them, many of them remained in their Hell-Forges. During the Dark Age of Technology, Mars had distributed thousands of Forge seeds, planting Hives across the galaxy. Not all of them stayed with the Omnissiah - not all of them stayed under the protective light of the God-Emperor. These Hell-Forges are among the most advanced and deviant planets in the galaxy, gleefully leaping into secrets and things that have been forbidden for countless millenia. Xenotek, heretek, warptek, all are used without restraint, often times without rhyme or reason. With the warp, natural laws can be broken down, bent or molded as needed. On these worlds, reality is simply another alloy in the furnace. Some Hell-Forges suffer the consequences - creating voracious nanotech swarms, or hunter-killer AIs, or accidental warp-gates. Planets can be there one day and gone the next, forgotten even from memories. Others leap forward or backward through time, or break apart under the will of the Warp. Such is Chaos. These hundreds of worlds - Dark Mechanicus worlds - have built fleets and war machines for endless centuries. They had created fortress systems capable of resisting all but the most powerful of Crusades and Inquisitions, and the sound of their forging could be heard across the cosmos. In the last handful of years, the forges have gone silent. The fortresses have emptied, the gates unbarred. Indeed, some of them - continent sized Hives - have broken from their planet entirely, shifting into the Warp, never to return. The Hunger Fleets of the Dark Mechanicus gather at Haceldama, the Field of Blood. And soon, very soon, they shall strike at Golgotha, and take what is their birthright.

Current: 390,611 Feb 1 Goal: 500,000 Tranquility One unexpected side-effect of the Golgotha War was the outbreak of peace across the galaxy. Not that the galaxy was peaceful as such - Humanity still warred with itself as it always had. And Golgotha itself was a maelstrom unimaginable, as all the forces of galaxy joined the battle. But outside Golgotha, the rest of the galaxy - things were actually starting to look pretty good. For one simple reason - or, more precisely, two. Two very particular xeno races had simply… left. Orks and Tyranids. The Orks were considered the most populated species in the galaxy, a literal fungus that was nearly impossible to eradicate. And conflict only made them bigger, spawn more of them - all eager to get in the fight. Humanity fighting Orks was simply how it had always been, even in the oldest of histories. And now, all the Orks had gone. The Tyranids were the most populated species outside of the galaxy - multiple Hive Fleets that were themselves tendrils of a nigh-incomprehensible Hive Mega-fleet. The Hive Mind had conquered, devoured multiple galaxies, and their first handful of waves had shook the Imperium to their core. And yet, over the course of weeks and months… they left. Mid-combat, mid-devouring sometimes, they left the planet they were attacking. Much was made of this, of course - the God-Emperor’s Grace turning away the xeno. Smart preachers quickly tied it in with the flicker of the Astronomicon - the God-Emperor choosing to will away the two xeno threats, and in so doing cause the two Ruptures. It made a certain intuitive sense on the surface of it, and was of course completely wrong. Every Ork, and every Tyranid, of course, were on their way to Golgotha.
