Autumn 103 AE: A Shade of things to comeGalactic News:The 1st Church Fleet has been destroyed. In the Crusade on Vengeance unkown enemies have struck the fleet and annihilated it. Even now the Inquisition has dispatched vessels to discover the nature of this threat, while The High Archon has contacted the Galactic Reaches in hopes of assistance. [2] So far no answer has returned.
It is believed that Saint Jurislav Lightbringer is still fighting on Vengeance itself and has joined with Lay-Deacon Hood's fourth Repentant.
Among the confirmed Dead was also Archon Tenebris of Garthon I. Due to Tenebris having no wishes upon whom should succeed him his Successor is decided upon by the Council of Archons.
[6] In other News, recent economic boom in the Triumvirate has led to an increase amount of goods and a lowering of prices.
Lord Yarrick Ravenwood was assassinated in his own bed! With him dies the leader of the Coalition of Minor Feudal Lords against House Nova. Investigations revealed that a man snuck into the heavily defended Compound and assassinated the Lord with a gun before blowing the Manor up. The line of Succesion [2,3,6] is at best blurry due to the death of his son and wife in the explosion. 3 Persons have in fact claim on the Title of Ravenwood: Trent Salyar who seems to be the great-grand-cousin of Lord Ravenwood, due to the Salyars being a Cadet line between Ravenwood and Nova, as well as one of the Minor Noble Harald Bull of House Bull and Elezar Azores, Fifth Son of Franconia Azores Head of House Azores, who was married to the now dead Eleanora Ravenwood sister of the deceased Yarrick.
Meanwhile however the Advisor of the House is managing the business and has kept the Alliance between the Minor Nobles and Ravenwood intact as well as keeping true to several business ventures with Cr'tok.
Trent Salyar((Xenos will be done later on after i did the Church Turn.))
You orders for more research staff and a rebuilt lab go by unheard. Without the Archons support nobody is willing to do anything for you. Besides you've got not a single dime in your pocket do you expect people to work for free? And as you take a look at the lab you see that most of the equipment needs to be replaced a expensive thing. To restore the Church lab you need at least 5 Credits. 10 If you want at least reasonable Lab Equipment...
[1] In fact nobody is even willing to talk to you. Having blown up the lab has granted you you the Status of an Outcast among the Crew.
Although you have no lab equipment anymore you still try and work within the ruined lab working with what you can salvage.

[2] It seems you are an very unfortunate man. While you fiddle around with Mining Technology you manage to lit the already burnt out remains fo the lab on fire again.
[1] The damage is terrific this time even going on neighbouring sections of the ship [3] Destroying The Energy Conductor powering the Laser Batteries and killing the Operator Crew( 200 men in all) of one of the Batteries.
In short you disarmed the frigate. [5] You managed however to save yourself and the research notes.

Your New Agrarian Program is highly Successfull. 40 parcels of formerly Wild Land is settled with more and more people and soon villages grow all over the place. Moreso you turn already settled lands into Towns. The Development of the former Farmsteads continues at a brisk pace and soon 12 new towns blot the land.
Research should go far better with the new additions to your research staff.
[5-2,?] Your try to establish Trade Connections with the only remaining other force of the Planet. Beyond City and Harvey LeGrombe. While initial contact looks good the whole negotiations go awry when you tell him "Ah you are the poor fuck who did want something from my wife but was too businesslike to get her..." not very practical. But Azthor rescues the situation by exchanging some whispered words with LeGrombe. Suddenly everything goes smoothly and the deal is struck.
Although the Trade Route will only benefit Azthor...
