I can sense the change of the ways here. The Imperium will contend with Chaos Colonists, while the Eldar and Tau will be swept under the rug. Good. Focus is important to pulling these things off. I change my vote to the Imperial Colony option. As long as I am part of the Admiralty!
Can I play the Emperor? I promise I'll make a great one, I'll even do useful things! Like eat all of your psykers, for the Greater Good.
When you mentioned Imperial Navy needing a captain of the flagship + 3 cruisers...do you mean a captain of the flagship and the cruisers as in singular?
Grall just reminded me of a Guardsman character I had in mind for an Inquisition RP. All of the fire and enlightenment.
In all seriousness though once I see what Regiments are on offer I might make some poor middling officer to help with Guard business. Unless this Imperial world would be more heretically minded and open to a xenos stand in. Nothing says effective like a regiment of Catachan born guardsmen lead by an Ork Kommando
I was going to suggest the Ministorum took a heavy hand in deciding which Regiments were deployed, including a regiment of crazy Redemptionists given flak armor, flamers, and chain swords to go with their rags, flamers, and aquilas.
Roles should be established beyond Military, Navy, and Construction. Civilian life will eventually take place after the initial establishment of the planetside settlement. Rogue Traders are always ready and willing to establish trade roughts, the AM would eventually stop sending supplies and who knows what resources will be found. Depending on which, those poistions will need leaders. Then comes the establishment of the PDF, allocating responsibility from the military for security then allowing for further expasion of the colony. Assuming the natives are reletively unhostile to sudden human expasion. *cough*tigerwolves*cough*
@DeranVendar for God-Emperor of Mankind. Just imagine the Primarchs we could get in this situation. And really depends on what the planet has and the planned colonization by the Imperium. Big difference moving to a planet with an Ork problem and one that just has a few Grox lumbering about.
