You are a 40k Planetary Governor (SG)
« on: October 22, 2018, 03:13:09 am »

Citizen of the Imperium, through inconceivable effort or impossible happenstance, you have been appointed Planetary Governor of Trevantis V, a recently colonized planet on the easternmost fringe of Segmentum Ultima. Ordinarily, you would not have been chosen, but following a heretical uprising, a series of pirate raids, and the near-total destruction of the world's infrastructure your predecessor was executed for his incompetence and the High Lords of Terra were forced to find a replacement on short notice. You happened to meet the bare minimum qualifications, and given your system's isolation, you will be allowed to exert an otherwise unacceptable degree of independence in your authority. Know this, should you fail in your duties, you will be removed and replaced. Do not fail.

-In the Name of the God Emperor.


Who are you, to have been given such an honor?

Esteemed Aristocrat- As the fourth heir to a Segmentum Solar hive world Governor's position, you never expected to rule but your talent for statecraft did not go unnoticed, it was deemed unacceptable to let your skills go to waste, and your family managed to pull enough strings and call in enough favors to get you appointed Planetary Governor.
  + 10 bonus to diplomacy and persuasion
  + 400,000k starting Thrones
  + Influence among the nobility

Imperial Guard General- Once a lowly conscript, your tenacity saw you rise through the ranks until you led a regiment of your own, and following a brilliant campaign which saved an entire sector, in recognition of your efforts you've been rewarded the position of Planetary Governor.
  + 10 bonus to military command
  + One regiment of veteran Imperial Guardsmen and their equipment
  + Bonus population from your settling troops and their families

Former Rogue Trader- For decades you have braved the Warp, plying goods from across the Imperium and furthering the boundaries of known space, and have been granted the opportunity to retire as a Planetary Governor.
  + 5 bonus to both diplomacy and persuasion, and military command
  + 200,000k starting Thrones
  + Tarask-class Merchantman with additional Lance batteries

Gee, I feel reassured that I am competent enough to do this. The best planetary defence is to keep them from getting anywhere near the planet, so Rogue Trader it is.

You are an Imperial Guard General, dedicated in the line of duty and decorated for your successful campaign against the Orkish warboss Uzgrud Grubas which saved an entire sector from a potentially devastating Waaaagh.

Which regiment did you command?

The 352nd Mechanized Regiment- Initially out of Armageddon and trialed by Orkish gunfire, they are well-equipped for mobile warfare with an abundance of Chimeras, an array of Leman Russ tanks, and most notably, a handful of Baneblades.
  + 10 bonus to military operations in open terrain

The 458th Vostroyan Infantry Regiment- A large fighting force skilled in urban engagements and effective in even the coldest climates, their iron will, discipline, and heavy weapons compensate for their minimal vehicle support, consisting of a handful of Leman Russ tanks.
  + 10 bonus to military operations in covered terrain

The 981st Elysian Drop Troopers Regiment- Versatile in combat and skilled at lightning assaults with light infantry and extensive air support, they have little in the way of armor aside from an inventory of Tauros vehicles.
  + 5 bonus to military operations in both open and covered terrain

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

The 981st Elysian Drop Troopers Regiment

Versatility sounds good.

No Canith/Tanith option?

The 981st Elysian Drop Troopers Regiment

Versatility sounds good.

This is obviously the more strategically sound vote, however the first one has the allure of SEVERAL Baneblades. No big deal. Cast my vote for the Elysians so that the thread doesn't get tied up.

I'm going to vote Armored.

This is 40k. If the terrain isn't open when the ground war starts, you have no employed sufficient orbital bombardment. Alternatively, you need to get more purging done, since if you can't just orbital bombard everything into dust it's probably because you let the enemy sneak into your city.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.
