In the grim darkness of the 41st millenium there is only war. Imperium of Man, once strong and proud, now is slowly crumbling, whole regions of space are lost to the horrors that lurk in the darkness of the void. Sector Deus is just one of thousands of Imperial provinces that form the frontline in the war to defend Humanity itself. Corruption from within and aggression from without threaten it. But Emperor sends us hope. High Lords of Terra commisioned a Chapter of Adeptus Astartes to defend this region of space. Their task is to stop the unstoppable and to do the impossible. They are the last line of defence that hold Age of Ruin at bay. They are the Ghosts of Retribution. If they would only know the price...

didnt you said Geron complete the network on the hive?
>>
>>19397524
Yes. This is the strength of spy network, not it's completion. It shows the potency of the network for a task without modifiers. For example assassinating a noble would require you to roll under 37. This statistic can be improved or decreased(by counter-intelligence operations). Also Geron is more of a scout, not an intelligence expert, so he did the best he could

In this quest creating new space marines happens in so called Generations. When you gather up enough Initiates(I would suggest at least a hundred), you decide how exactly do you want to programme their gene-seed and then they all together are once more tested(and a lot of them die). It also costs quite a lot of wealth. You can check out Rising Sons part of the quest, where they created their Second Generation.

roll once more for search, this time d7.

Original temple will be left alone, but it will be in the centre(underneath) the Chapter monastery.

Nerial informs you, that Fabricator General is ready to speak with you:
> Yes, my friend. How are the construction works progressing? I hope Archeomedes is up to your expectations, he's the best we've got in this field.

Geron sends a reply to you:
>Unfortunatelly sir, it seems that the street scum is not really suitable for intelligence work on planetary level, we need someone a little bit more... educated. Those guys that I tried to teach proved utter failures, they wasted a lot of money and got caught. We lost d5 wealth and d10 network strength... And sir.

"So now, esteemed Fabricator General, chosen of machine spirits, would you be so kind, to let us have your share of burden on the quest of knowledge? we could protect you from the Sororitas, you and your search parties, nobody will touch my family member without their fingers blasted"

"Geron, I trust you my son, it is just a dark before dawn, a storm before a calm sunrise, preserve, and stay low, try to recruit the inner circles of bureaucrats, starting from their juvenile sons, who likes the taste of dangers and thrills, give them adventure they seek, and they will follow you unquestionably"

>You must be confussed, Chapter Master, we have no quarrel with Ordos, at least not yet anyway... That lying waste of proteins Astrobelus, Cardinal of Ministorium, can go to any lenghts and he may indeed try to influence Holy Inquisition. However this is our conflict and we do not wish you to suffer it's consequences, my friend. There might be a day when you will be able to help us, but don't put yourselves at risk before you have entrenched yourselves properly. Ministorium is a serious enemy. Regarding the quest for knowledge - there might be a way you can help us. There is a planet on the northern reaches of Sub-Sector Cryptus, called Varda, we suspect that there might have been a colonisation attempt before the Age of Imperium. We are about to send Expeditionary fleet there, but we have intelligence, that there might be a xeno menace known as the Orks on the ground. I do not wish to give you false information, marine, this is a dangerous mission and if our precognitions are right, there will be a lot of blood, should a battle ensue. But rewards might also be great and we would share them equally with you. If you are interested, just tell me.

>How do you want to go about recruiting another diplomat?

Two ways we can do this.
The best one is to search for a human experienced with diplomacy that we can screen for loyalty and then employ.
The second way to do this is to search for volunteers amongst our marines, interview them and then appoint the one we find the most appropriate.

We should do the same for our chaplain and soon, as we don't want our brothers to falter.

For diplomats, we need somebody who are good with words. Maybe our chapter serfs with good leadership could be used as diplomat. Or maybe we could let one of our captains to act as diplomat for short time.

We need our battle brothers for more importing task like fighting against our enemies

>>19398633

"That is not my area to judge Targos, you should ask our Don for your penitence. But I can tell you something...

Warp travel this time was a lot more smooth than before, probably Adeptus Mechanicus advanced cogitators planned the route with a lot greater accuracy. After just five weeks of travel, you finally arrive to Sub-Sector Cryptus, system of Varda. This is a huge green planet, covered in thick jungles with only a few very small oceans.

Scouting mission went just as planned, nothing too serious happened except for a couple of strangled ork guards.

Estimated forces:
Troat Rippaz(blue clan) = around 4000 orks
Rok Eataz(red clan) = around 1500 orks

Troat Rippaz seem to favour close, brutal combat and have very little vehicles, however they are many and seem to be coordinated by tough ork nobz.

Meanwhile Rok Eataz have a lot more vehicles, even a few planes, but are less numerous and their dominant caste seems to be Tek Nobz.>>19399690

you haven't attracted attention yet.

>>19399655

How do you plan to do that exactly, and what munitions would you like to use? Also, Galeus says that his techmarines will need at least d3 hours to check the ship if there is anything of value and there and then it might take even more time to take it out

>>
>>19399787
Neither of your ships has upgrades for precision planetary bombardment. However you can use either volcanic torpedoe or anti-ship weapons, but they aren't suited for firing into atmosphere, so you cant expect any accuracy. AM would be against this course of action, because it might damage/destroy the ship, but you can do it.

>>19399809
it seems that the figures are correct...

>>19399879
How capable are our speeders at transporting troops?
>>
>>19399964
Each landspeeder is operated by 2 marines - pilot and gunner. Theoretically you can take in third marine instead of ammo boxes, but it will take away offensive capability.
For transportation you can use rhino(10 marines). Also you have 3 drop pods.
>>
Our armour has autosenses, so attack at night. Once we are done scouting everything, start by silently taking out the ones on the edges and then have 50 marines attack and shoot until the orks get their shit together and attack.

Then have the attacking marines retreat and lead the orks into an ambush.
>>
>>19400034
please show on the map where the ambush would be located and who would be present, who commands which part, etc. the more details - the better.

Also please remember that orks are at war with each other, so they have patrols, guards and shit like that.

"MEN OF IMPERIUM! the time has come to prove your worth, we will face a challenge unprecedented in our chapter history before! fear not! as the this is a mere test of our worth, so we can reside by His side, FOR THE EMPEROR!"
>>
>>19400150
can you specify how exactly you 'drop' mechanicus team? it is composed of 50 engineseers...(they wouldn't survive the overloads that drop pods suffer). if you plan to use landing shuttles to transport them, orks will notice them for sure and might even try to intercept them, they have some planes.

Speeders can get through quietly on a roll below 70, but there is only 4 of them.

are you sure you don't want to elaborate your plan?

the speeder can load 8 troops, 1 of them will be mechanicus for extraction, drop pod will be used for reinforcements

the rest of the mechanichus will be loaded to rhino and predator, they will follow immediately after the speeder goes, so they embark at the same time, but speeder will go faster and silently

IF PREDATOR AND RHINO IS SPOTTED BY THE ENEMY, SKIRMISH MODE AND KEEP TRYING TO REACH THE ANCIENT SHIP SITE WHATEVER THE COST

tech guard, and all land assets follow exactly 20 minutes after the speeder go, and if they havent reach the ancint site by then, they need to storm and go there ASAP

after all admech and marine assets has reached the objective, they need to hold for 1 hour, and once finished, will do a tactical retreat to extraction point at landing site
>>
>>19400314

contingency plan :

if the footsoldiers are engaged while trying to reach the objective, immediately entrench and fortify positions, wait for pred and rhinos to unload, after they empty their passenger, they need to flank the mob, provided they are engaging the foot soldiers
