Rakszan's taskforce have arrived in the sector, where should I land him?

Land where you want. There's several planets that are currently being fought over. Pick one, there's a map somewhere around here

First page features of the chat room features a map.

Mind if I add the Investigation Force of Rakszan, the Last of Khansu Dynasty? The sole survivor of the Necron dynasty would lead his merry band of Pariahs, psykers and some xeno mercenaries to investigate the possibility of manipulation by the Deceiver in Charadon System. The Phaeron would welcome any allies for the cause of imprisoning any C'Tan shards encountered.

How should I allocate the personnel?

Christ all mighty sir, you have given me a reason to rejoin the Crusade! I own and control the Kageros Dynasty and would be happy to accept you into the Coalition

Okay, I'll write my stuff up this morning

Aye, it's all good. I will say, if you for some bizarre reason are attracted to Trisburg, give me notice, as I did some rolls and am still writing the results. I'm slow due to being terrible people.

Hey, if you want to trade I will definitely comply, I think it could be interesting, i'll add it to my blurb

So chazz, summoning the crusade together for battle?

Are my Histans being redeployed? I've got a few words I've got to say to the hybrids. Then again, we all do, I suppose.

Try and steer clear of Voor'Han, there are no Hybrids there

I would like to. I just don't know how 2BJ1 and I will get rid of the Orks on Novus Regulus in time.

I really don't want to miss out on fighting the hybrids, seeing as how my Histans have been crippled by them since day one. However, like WK said, I don't know how we could clear out the orks before we are redeployed.

There are a few things you guys can do, you can jump a little bit back in the time scale or you can send only a portion of your forces to fight

Or we can leave it to the local PDF to fight them off while we take on the Hybrids. I could send a demi-company to fight the Hybrids I guess.

I live.

We noticed. Have you returned to grace us with the presence of the New Order?

Possibly

You better be nuking a planet

He'll somehow find a way to kill everyone on the planet without nuking it. He never loses after all, we've all seen that.

Just to let you know, Rakszan would not be pleased for the news of Kageros transferring the Virus Bomb to the Iron Warrioirs, as this was the act of support all sort of self-proclaimed Gods. And you should know Rakszan was the victim of blind fanaticism, which means he would never tolerate such actions. And bear in mind that Rakszan was not the leader of the entire Fleet, so the ultimate decision must be made via meeting.

It was hinted that the majority of Investigation Taskforce was the decedents of Interex, so don't expect them to fully co-operate with Kageros once they know the what-about of the Virus Bomb. Yeah, short-term agreement of searching the C'Tan could be made, but the Force would leave the Kageros domain once the C'Tan was captured and never return. They have better things to do, like kicking Chaos' ass.

The Imperium, on the other hand, was another matter. While the Imperium worshiped the Emepror as God, Rakszan knew that the Emperor didn't wish everyone worship anything as Gods. And the Taskforce knew better that they should not anger the Imperium in the long run. Therefore, as long as the Imperium didn't declare war with them, minimum co-operation could be tolerated.

The Eldar? Dark Eldars would be kill when they are spotted. The normal Eldars would not be welcomed and avoid at all cost, for the Taskforce fear the manipulation of Eldar would doom the Fleet. However, they would fight them to death if the Eldar insisted on eliminating the Taskforce.

Tau? I am not sure...

Dark Eldar left a while ago. They were mine but I got sick of running 3 factions at once.

Good to know. Honestly, if the Eldar insisted that Pariahs and the Necron must die, that would be problematic for themselves and the Taskforce. The members of MERIT are sick of the Eldars' manipulation...

Hopefully they don't find about my Warhost's existence then. It would make my job problematic.

Warhost? Care elaborate it? It might affect the decision making of MERIT, whether be hostile or not...

A Warhost is basically the Eldar equivalent of a taskforce or Strikeforce sent to an area for a specific purpose. In this case their primary goal is to eliminate Archarus of the Iron Warriors. They're indifferent to the bulk of the Imperial Forces, and they're shying away from the Necrons

I am honestly confused on what MERIT is. Is that like the NO, but more fluff crazy?

It then seems we are at a disagreement. I have already shipped the bomb, my C'tan are all caged and I have several alliances with Chaos. I do look forward to seeing how you do, good luck.

Great update, Blackjack, very atmospheric!

Just doing a nibble at the plot shortly. Getting my ship off to trade, and bums on shuttle seats.
