I got something planned for themNo-one expects the arcane zombie warlocks of the un-dead House of Indrias.
I got something planned for themNo-one expects the arcane zombie warlocks of the un-dead House of Indrias.
I hope what is meant here is that one of the 4 Phalanxes also includes the Cadre headquarters. Otherwise, the Houses are likely to discover that they will run out of junior leaders to staff the sub-formations their senior officers controlIt's a total of 5 formations, the HQ and 4 Phalanxes.
However, more concerning is the crew quarters and engineering space allocations which seem far too little for the mission or especially the designed fuel range. I fully expect at least one ship captain to push the ship beyond its maintenance lifetime, and the after-incident investigation will note that the captain thought he was in good shape due to having over 50% fuel remaining at the time of the massive engine explosion that killed all hands aboard.uh oh.
I remain mildly distressed that not only has a faction been eliminated, reducing the potential for intrigue and infighting, but even more that it was clearly the best and most flavorful faction which perished, and I must insist that the author work extra hard to make up for this grievous offense.
December 1030
House Fellshard trains the 1st Infantry Cadre compromising of 4 Infantry Phalanxes. These troops have far superior training, weaponry, and equipment to their militia predecessors.
1032
House Indrias is eradicated from the face of Falldara. The vast technological superiority of House Fellshard and House Indrett outmatched the witches of House Indrias.
The Brivoki and the Viral continue surveying systems. House Fellshard, having not heard from either crew for a while elects to construct another Viral class vessel: the Akhiok.
Finally escaped the system. RNG strikes again.Putting it mildly!
...Desperate House leaders doing stupid things when they all live on the same planet and there's nothing of note in space to rebuild from.The RNG this campaign was VERY rough. There are no inhabitable planets and no sources for Sorium.
I'll be curious to see what the result of a war will be, presumably different factions will want to take advantage of each other's weakness but the end result may just leave every faction too weak to advance into the interstellar era...It does have that feeling about it doesn't it? Desperate House leaders doing stupid things when they all live on the same planet and there's nothing of note in space to rebuild from.
Author's Note: I lost the writing document I had for this chapter. A lot of this will be coming from my memory.
May 18th, 1008
The Dahanii retaliate by stealing engine component technology from the Indrett researchers. The engine is then improved by the Dahanii craftsmen. The first Dahanii Survey Ship (named Falskar) is a modified hull of the Seid class Survey Ship. However, they noticed a crucial error of the Indrett engine design (by 50 tons.) The Dahanii make their own improvements.
Dahanii oracles tell a message humorously addressed to the Indrett:
Math was never a strength of the martial Indrett people.
House Indrias witches finish scrying the power of Nuclear Thermal Engines. After capturing a scientist from House Indrett, the technology completed for House Indrias.
At the moment, no premonitions of leaving the Falldaris system have been received by any faction's researchers or witches. Besides the Fellshard, who keep it a coveted secret.
It is rumored the attacks may have been sent by the Dahanii Tribes. The Dahanii state in the Hevereyn that it was not them who sent the Dunelanders. Indrias Witches begin to foresee into the future; they see a desperate and broken faction attempting to scrounge what little they have.
A clerk notes that: "It's a shame that Marayne or Alvnel didn't rip the throat of the soothsaying representative. The spectacle would have made the debate quicker and more entertaining."
The first law is that all ships must have an active transponder running at all times. The second law is that technology that shrouds a vessel is illegal.
As a result, House Indrett completes the design of the Seid class Survey Ship. The ship goes into immediate production in the Hadric Marine Industries shipyard.
