Black Cohort

About half way into your warp voyage Captain Nuzry informs you that all temporary repairs are complete, any further work would require a naval or Mechanicum dockyard.

with the Salamander frigate burning for the warp line, the Iron Warriors didn't even try to chase it down. They also didn't rush to get into orbit. To those who didn't know the Iron Warriors it might seem like indecision. The navigator liaison informs you that the estimated time in the warp to Astess is a little over 4 terran standard days.

If anyone wants to post anything else in this system I will move things along on Monday.

Captain Nuzry spoke, "If I understand your thoughts correctly, then it would appear that we will chart a course for Astess."

"If we strike we would have to take them all."

So is there a consensus on where to go next?

I have also been thinking about all things Astartes and how things should develop going forward in the setting. Corax has managed to assemble some or all of several chapters primarily: Aurora Chapter Raven Guard Revilers Death Eagles Knights of Gryphonne Along with the Deathwatch of Watch Station Meridos Probably somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 marines before any efforts to expand. And Corax knows more than probably any other living Imperial in the 42nd millennia about Space Marine creation. He will need more marines but how should he do it, basically only expand the Raven Guard? Basically tell all the chapters to expand? Do they use Deathwatch member's geneseed? Also the Deathwatch and Raven Guard especially probably have a bunch of rare and exotic wargear that hasn't necessarily been getting full use and if there is a time to shake up Codex adherence now is probably the time. Should there be veteran squads equipped with rare wargear? new squad types being tested or brought back from the era of the legions?

So I have started working on the various Imperial officials, officers and nobles connected the court that has grown around Corax. First up we have the three Inquisitors that are generally found at court, along with Corax's Imperial Guard Liaison. Inquisitor Tenebrous - Ordo Hereticus The first Inquisitor to openly join Corax’s growing efforts to stabilize the region. His name is obviously not his birth name. Tenebrous stands nearly 7 feet tall, with a thin build. He usually wears a long trench coat with a holstered bolt pistol and mono-edged blade that some say is a psy-weapon. Lord Inquisitor Unvar - Ordo Xenos Unvar arrived at the fleet Corax was commanding at the time with several warships and around a dozen members of the deathwatch from Watch Station Meridos. An imposing man, he is distrusted by many as he seems to have ties to at least factions of the eldar and possibly other Xenos. Inquisitor Aevu - Ordo Astra The first thing most people notice about Aevu is her cyber-raven. Despite her use of the creature there is no evidence she is a psyker. She is generally unassuming, and frequently changes her appearance to better blend in. Marshal Hestun Telmar of Terrax Hestun is a veteran of centuries of war, and has risen the ranks of the Imperial Guard to become one of the most senior officers from Terrax. He looks to be late middle age but is about 230 years old. His salt and pepper hair and mustache are well kept and he is rarely seen out of his formal uniform. At this point he is the most senior mortal army officer in the region of space Corax has managed to stabilize.

"We should try to figure out what is happening here before we kill the wrong people."

"The charges will not detonate for another hour."

has GW ever explained how assassins are organized outside of most of their core infrastructure being on Terra? Do all uses of the official assassin temples require approval from Terra? Would a sector governor have access to them without Terra approving their request? Are there eversors, callidus and so on positioned throughout imperial space for faster response times? thanks for any help you can provide.

both Imperial armour books have been read. IA vol 8 especially has some useful stuff. Next step is actually building out the Imperial Court of Deliverance, or would the main court be on Kiavhar?

Download worked fine for me.

Is the Sanguinor a greater daemon of the emperor or Sanguinius? regardless, a named greater daemon, not necessarily a good example of an average one.

I had not thought of including the old Sensei lore, that is a heretical good idea. my only quibble with what you said, is I would see Living Saints as more like daemon-princes rather than greater daemons. Which means that there would be a slot open for ideas as to what a greater daemon of the god-emperor would be.
