>>42124847
Ok, segmentum tempestus it is. But what type of station shall we focus on expanding as. You can either focus on defence/offence and become as fortress or bastion. Or focus om commerce and become a trading hub for the sector.
It's up to you to decide when you need to choose between these two options:
>Install better bulkheads and build room for another gun emplacement
>Expand the living quartres and expand the dock and build a cargo hold that can store many more objects

Both will cost 3 supplies to build, and only one can be choosen at the time.

>>42124926
Defense!
We need to be able to shoot down all Inquisi---- pirate(!) ships who might come too close.

>>42124964
I agree, More Defense.

You decide that the protection of the station and it's inhabitants are your top priorety.
After a week of constant work the tech adepts and workers have expanded a piece ofd the station by building a simple but sturdy platform for another weapon along with adding better bulkheads to the mayor areas of the station. (That reminds me, we need a name for the station)
Uptdate on the station: Better bulkheads, intruders now have a harder time breaking through them, and another gun emplacement
Inhabitants 1000
Supplies left 7 (the first action was a special one that why it was so expensive, but keep in mind that you can lose supplies of you get attacked, there is a riot etc.

A ship is comming out from the warp a few clicks away. It seems to be a rouge trader ship designated as "The Rising Storm". It tries to hail your station. But what do you do?

Play it safe and turn some weapons emplacements in their direction, attempt to verify the ships identity.

This. We've got extra defenses , we might as well leverage them for intimidation. I'd suggest we hail them too, from a position of readiness.

>>42125305
>>42125360
I change my vote (>>42125270) to this instead.
I also suggest we fire a warning shot at them at the same time.

You answer the hail wihle your gunner prep the two bigger weapons and point them at the ship.

Greeting Imperial citizens in this area of the void, I am Rouge Trader Hans Krubble the II. And I have but one simple request from your station. My ship is in a bad shape and I need aid in repairing it. All that I ask is that you offer one of your docks to me for a few weeks untill my ship's hull is fixed again. In return I can spare some of my personal defence while I am here. Will you permitt this action my loyal servant of the god Emperor?

>>42125481

Two possibilities spring to mind immediately.
>1
Attempt to determine if his ship is actually damaged before he reaches the station, if he's approaching from only a few kilometers distance then his ship is provably almost if not already visible to the naked eye.
>2
Allow him to dock, however I wouldn't suggest allowing his crew to spread around the station unless absolutely necessary, or until we determine definitively that they pose no risk.
Tell him to keep his security, and instead demand payment for the repairs.

>>42125575
>Tell him to keep his security, and instead demand payment for the repairs.
Add to that:
But, of course, if an enemy of mankind shows up, we do expect him to do his duty as an Imperial citizen and aid us in the defense of this station.

Any more votes guys? I will wait for another 10 min untill i choose what action who won.
Also the station still deosn't have a name. It's up to you what name it will have.

>>42125710
We could call it Aegis.
Its simple and fits with the theme of a dedicated defensive station.

>>42125710
The God-Emperors Summerhouse

>>42125575
I agree with this guy.
>>42125710
I agree with SomethingElse, Aegis works, Adamantite Aegis sounds good too though.

Deus Imperatus Domus est Aestas

Roughly translated to The God-Emperors Summerhouse

>>42125575
Going with this action as the winner!

You ask the the tech adepts to run a scan on the ship to see if it really has any damage while you say that this station already has good defence, But could use more supplies as payment for his stay, but he is expected to support the station with his troops if the situation demands it. Becuase that is the duty of loyal Imperial servant. The scan also turned positive, as 2 out of 5 thrusters and a pice of the lower hull is either in need of repair or missing.

A agrees at it is a fair trade and is ready to unload 4 supplies when it is docked but asked for his crew to stretch thier legs in the dock section of the station as a compromice.

How do you respond to his reply?
>Agree
>Dissagree
>Something else (write in)

[Name will also be decided soon, so vote for the name guys!]

>>42125817
I like it. Catchy.

>>42126007
>Something else
I would say that can agree to allow his crew out of their ship as long as they are willing to be subjected to a weapons search first, any weapons they're carrying will be stored until they are ready to leave, or a threat to the station requires that they be conscripted to aid in a defense.

>>42126007
>Agree
Guard all entry's and exits to the docking section. None of the rouge traders crew will be allowed to leave this area, except with the station commanders approval.
Also invite the Rouge Trader and his entourage to a formal dinner this evening, with the station commander. We will discuss future trading, and perhaps come to a deal.

>>42126007
>Agree
But keep guards stationed at all entrances to the main station. We can cart down stuff for an promptitude market to make some dosh.

>>42125817
>>42126008
Ok, this name got 2 votes, and is thus the winner. So the station is now called Deus Imperatus Domus est Aestas.

>>42126166

To be fair, Aegis also got two votes (>>42125758 and >>42125809)

I'd want to know how his ship was damaged, if he was attacked, are the attackers actively seeking him out?
What was his ships point of origin, where was he planning to go, or any other details of significance he can provide to us that might concern the welfare of the station.

>>42126275
See if he has any wares we can buy cheap and offer other passersby.

Neat.
Here's a little mockup I did of the station, does it accurately represent the kind of station we're creating?
Red triangles indicate primary weapons emplacements.
Grey lines are the basic station's structure.
Dark black lines indicate a single level of structural reenforcment.
The green checks indicate docking bays that are functional.

If this is accurate and acceptable, is there anything I should add to it, like secondary weapons, currently habitable sections, stuff like that?

Interacting wins

A day or so after the ship had docked, and your workers and tech adepts are fixing his ship, and your defence force are guarding the port you take the time to send a messange to the rogue trader to invite him to dinner where you can discuss and talk like civilized people.

After a few hours he is now in the central structure of the station sitting across to you while servants have served what appears to be steam cooked grox.
What do you want to ask him?
>General questions about his travels
>Why his ship was damaged, and if it where enemeis are they destroyed or still looking for him etc?
>Talk business
>Something else (write in)

>>42126461 Dude it's awesome, just like I imagined, but you should add an empty gun emplacment slot, since that what you guys added in the beginning

>>42126524
>General questions about his travels
Let's start off light, we can discuss business over a glass of vintage Amasec later in the evening.

These are what I'd like to ask him about;
>Ask about his dynasty
>How many ships are his to command
>Where he have been in the sector
>General sector gossip

>>42126524
>empty gun emplacment slot
Wait, what? You mean we have a defensive blind spot in the station!?

>>42126524
Ok, here you go.
The empty grey triangles indicate where a primary weapon can be constructed.

>>42126658
Agree, might as well find out about him and see if he could be useful later.

>>42126668
Here is the weapons of the station so far
2 macro cannons and atleast 30 smaller las turrets and weapons to deal with small fighters etc.
And since you choose to fortify the bulkheads you also got an empty weapon slot for a bigger weapon.

>>42126717
That's kinda... well, we're not going to be fending off any Hive Fleets any time soon, let's put it that way. Need to get a lance turret fitted as soon as possible.

>>42126524
I say we should ask him about how his ship got damaged, and if he was pursued. We'll be in trouble if he leads a band corsairs back to us or something.

>>42126658
>>42126688
>>42126807
Asking gernall questions wins

During the dinner you take the time to ask simple things like: where he is from, how many ships he commands etc.
He responds that he is from a small dynasty with not that many ships to his disposal. He does on the other hand have many connections around the nearby sectors.
After more chit-chatting you come to the topic regarding his ship. He said it was damaged by Orks who had made an ambush in an asteroid field. And that you shouldn't worry about them following him here, they are after all just mindless brutes.

>more general talk (nothing more to question him about)
>Possible trading deals/alliance
>Something else write in

>>42126940
>>Possible trading deals/alliance
See if we can't get access to his connections through him with decreased tariffs and fees for himself.

>>42126940
Only idiots and dead men underestimate Orks. Would be good if we could set up a trade route with him though, not to mention if we could weedle a few of the smaller ships out of his fleet so we could use them as scouts.

>>42126940
Silently message the Magos in charge of repairs to confirm ork damage

>>42126967
>>42126980

Oh, in that case>>42126967

>>42126980
roll a d10 on this one, the higher the better.

>>42126940
Yes, now is the time to crack open a good bottle of fine Amasec and discuss trade.

Let's get a trade route going.
Perhaps we could offer aid in repairs and re-stocking of all the ships in his dynasty that dock here, in exchange for constant supply of supplies and what >>42126967 suggested, getting access to his connections.
Feel free to come up with other ideas.

Also this
>>42126976

Ok, time to discuss future trades and whatnot
After what seems like hours of discussions you both agree to set up a trade route in exhange that his ship will get refueled and restocked for free (you lose 1 supply from this) and that the rest of his fleet are allowed to dock and repair here with a small fee ofcourse. (every 10 turns a ship come by to give a minor event regarding repair, refuel, trade etc)

>>42127204
During your talks you sent a message to the tech adept who is in charge of the repairs if they had found anything respemeling Ork weapon fragments or damaged. He responed by saying that they found an undetonated rokkit in the lower decks, but they could not pinpoint from wich clan it was from

[one more question untill this event is over and I timeskip to when the rogue trader leaves]
>As about the location of the Ork attack

>>42127343
C-c-contacts my man!

>>42127343
>>Ask for a list of contacts that could be usefull

>>42127343
>>As about the location of the Ork attack
>>Ask for a list of contacts that could be usefull

BTW, DockMeister, what kind of starfort is this one? Is it a half-finished Ramilies, or what?

>>42127343
Setting up contacts should be a priority, one key facet of maintaining a strong defensive position is having influence in the area.
Locating/tracking the Orks is also important, but should be secondary to securing contacts and alliances.

>>42127374
>>42127377
>>42127382
>>42127419
Contacts wins
You breifly mention about the rogue traders contacts when he offers you a list of names to ask for when asking for aid or other important issues around this sector and that you should say that you are a friend of Hans Krubble the II, but they still might be cynical when trusing someone they haven't even met, but the list is the following:

Govenor Geordi Xan Burbazov from the planet Terrzyl

General Jakob Tross of the local Astra Militarum in this sector

Lord Fabricator Element Spis of the forge world Zynk-3

The rogue trader stays for 2 weeks untill his ship is repaired and bids you fairwell. nad to your suprice he left a parting gift containing a crate filled with lasguns in hopes to give the station just a bit more defence

Update
Inhabitants: 1000
Supplies 10 (-1) when next action/even starts

With this extra crate with weapons you can finnaly put them in the small storage area that can be filled with 10 items, 9 now when the lasgun crate is in there.

>>42127626
Do we have armsmen? Get them if we don't. Try contacting the Governor for any extra supplies he has available for trade. At a discount for his position of course. Same as the rouge traders.

Speak with the priests. What's been going on at their homeworld and where did they get a ship that tiny? Like, seriously, how can that thing be so small?

>>42128842
Awesome.

Now, about supplies. Is everything included in "supplies"? Like food and water and all that stuff needed to survive, along with ammo and-- well, is it EVERYTHING?
If so, we need to hunt for supplies somehow, or we risk running out.

>>42128896
Supplies is everything since I a lazy bastard like that.

>>42128896
I think OP said once that supplies are more or less the curenncy for everything.

>>42128892
Yes, OPs view on how much people there actually are crewing ships and stations, and also living on them, and the sheer size of everything in the 40k universe, might be way off. But we're having good fun.
I, for one, don't really mind.

Minor event comming up

One of the tech adepts has some ideas of improve this station.He shows to you on a dataslate
>A way to improve the thickness to the hull
>build 20 more las turrets
>ignore it

You can only choose one, and every choise exept the last one will cost one supply

>>42128958
>>A way to improve the thickness to the hull
The both of them are good. But I think more Armour is a bit better at this point.

Well, since we are apparently in the middle of nowhere... can we make arrangements with the administration to turn our self into an official resupply point?
They give us stuff and in exchange we fix their ships and make sure most of said stuff is available to local naval and guard forces when they need it.

We might be able to put ourself on the map real quick if this works out.


>>42128958
>>build 20 more las turrets
Shooting things is important!

>>42128958
Improve the hull.

So, just a question for you guys. Do you enjoy this quest thread?
Becuase it is the first quest thread I have ever done. I am open for any help/tips etc that you can give me

>>42128958
Well, we've already reinforced our armor once, and we've also added a special primary weapon.
The addition of the MacroChapel has reduced our supplies to half of their original level, so I'd suggest we take neither and reduce our supply consumption.

>>42128958
>>build 20 more las turrets

This almost doubles our fighter defence.

>>42129027
>Do you enjoy this quest thread?
Yes

>I am open for any help/tips etc that you can give me
Your scale is way, waaaaay off. Which is okay because this is Warhammer and if you try to make everything perfect you'll just end up with me-tier autism, get lost in the details and never get anything done.

>>42128988
I vote for this.
That way we also get Supplies for ourselves, either as some sorts of payment for our services, or some supplies just get lost in the administration... strange how that works..

Though, if we are to supply nearby forces, we need ships (which I don't think we've got). Either ships, or they just have to come to us for re-supply.

>>42129027
Yes, I like it.

>>42129027
I do indeed. I rarely come into quest threads early enough to make a meaningful difference, and I sense good things in this one.

>>42128988
>>42129035
>>42129089
Ok 3 votes for more guns and 2 for extra armour. So 20 more turrets wins.
After about 1½ week 20 more turrets have been put in place round the station improving the defence agianst smaller things

>>42129089
The idea is that they come here to dock, not that we go out and hand shit out.
They would use us as a warehouse and docking port in exchange for some small payment.
The benefits would (hopefully) be in putting us on the map for passing traders and bored soldiers and (space) sailors spending their wages while hanging out here and waiting for redeployment.

>>42129126
Also we are down to 4 supplies

>>42129027
>Do you enjoy this quest thread.
Absolutely.
Its the first time I've ever really contributed anything or participated, so I guess this is a learning experience for us both.
The simplicity of the supplies is a basic, but honestly it doesn't matter that much to me.

>>42129053
Yeah it seems fine so far. Any criticisms will have to be at the end though.

On a typcal day about 4 months after the rogue trade passed by you were called up to central control to double check that they thought is a mistake is the system. As you enter the central control and look on a screen you can see atleast 20 or so red dots on the screen. While you look one of the crewmembers says he picked up something on the vox. You ask him to transfer it to the speakers in the room.

>>42129136
Alright, yeah I like that.


Also, we need to build a Hydroponics Deck, so that we at least can provide food and breathable air to our residents.
I'd also like to build some sort of "fun zone-deck", with bars, brothels and gambling dens so that soldiers on R&R have something to do. Which, of course, also gives a small income to our station.

40 from the defence force, 60 workers, 25 inahbitants and 5 tech adepts

>>42129735
Do we get one re-roll or something, on account of our Emperor-blessed canon? Or can it hit on a 5+ instead? Or just, you know.. not suck?

Agreed. Need to get a commisar up in here and start executing all of these heretics who don't want us to live.

Commissars work for the guard. The closest we could get would be enforcers.

Due to one of the cannons being blessed by the big E it get's to fire one more shot before the orks get in small turret range.

Ok guys small turret time, we got 50 of them and they damage the ork ships on a 15+ and they need 3 to kill one ship (it's only ork ships)
Roll it after the Big E macro cannon

No, just big scary dudes who keep discipline.
In some chaos armies (Siege of Vraks, from what I remember) they are the thing that keeps chaos cultists from running away because they have poor morale and no commissars.
Of course, the concept of a big scary dude staring at your back to make sure you don't run away from battle works just fine outside of chaotic armies. Commissars do a similar thing, just with cool hats on top.

All ork ships are down, that was a close one, but we survived. Now that the crisis is avertred we need to see what we should do now

Ok, so what have you guys come to as a solution? What do you want to do as your action?

Fix things, bury people(or whatever passes for burial in space - the priests will know), loot orks and use ork loot to fix more things.

>>42130464
What? What else are we going to eat out here, vegetables? Don't make me laugh.

>>42130429
Our first action should be to repair the damage to the stations hull.
Secondary to this will be cleanup and funerals.
Salvage should be our terciary objective, because the debris field isn't going to vanish out of thin...space...
So we can scoop up salvage at our leisure afterwards.

>>42130494
Orks are edible and actually don't taste bad. Mushrooms.

>>42130526
Nah, that's squigs you're thinking of. Apparently they're delicious, like ham with the texture of chicken.

>>42130544
And the juciest of the squigs live in the deepest parts of ork dumps, often protected by face eater squigs.
But I still think that orks are edible. If their meat hasn't been irradiated when the ships blew up.

>>42130583
I dunno, I don't even want to think about what kind of toxins build up in Ork flesh over the years.

A few hours after a battle you order people to seal of the damaged sections of the station and repair it (this will cost you one supply, down to 3 now)
Afterwards you make a body count and give them the emperors blessing before you dispose of the bodies
Now regarding the damged ork ships, most of them are to far away to salvage since you don't own a proper salvage vessel, but the 3 that where shot down by las turret fire are mostly intact
How will you deal with the 3 ships?
>Ask the admech to prope them with a few servoskulls
>Explore them with a manned escort (30 workers and 10 guards to each team)
>Do nothing about them at the moment
>Something else (write in)

>>42130630
Servo-skulls, stand by with the guns in case of survivors.

>>42130630
Assuming the wrecks are caught in the station's gravity, and are either orbiting it slowly or tidally locked, we should send servoskulls first, we have time so there's no reason to put our people at risk with an immediate salvage operation.
While the potential supplies/materiel are important, we aren't in any massive hurry since our damage has been repaired.

>>42130630
First send in servo skulls, then scour it with armsmen (supported by servo skulls) and then send in workers and tech adepts (guarded by armsmen).
Handle the wrecks one by one.

Ask the priests if they can use their ship to tow far away ork wrecks closer for us to salvage, once we are done with the wrecks within reach. The tech adepts should be able to cook up some kind of towing implement, hopefully.

After having a talk with the tech adepts htey agree to let you borrow the skulls in return that they are the ones responsible for salveging the ships (tell who get what part of the scrap, you or the admech)
