Exterminatus now. You can still save this timeline.

Hmm... Odd name for a planet. What is the status of this planet? Is it a Hive World? Feral World? Forge World? Agri-world?

Well have your newly promoted COLONEL reassigned to the planet.
Anyway lets get back to the whole "being in charge of a massive military campaign", how are things going on the front?

Exterminatus? If only it were that easy.

Inquisitors seem to get all the resources they need and more. You know they have a division dedicated to time (Ordo Chrono-something?). Just what they do though, is a mystery. And you don't like mysteries.

Instead of having ships blow up entire planets, here you are on the fringe of the Empire, fighting a slow and grinding planetary war against orks and renegades. And in the limited downtime you do have, there's silly unit politics to attend to.

You're supposed to read it over, but the galaxy is hardly going to fall apart if a servitor fills in the blanks for you.

>>881104

Weird, definitely. Who in the name of the Emperor is Carlos? Probably some long-dead Rogue Trader. They have a habit of naming things after themselves, but not always entire planets.

The papers you have on hand are awfully non-specific, but based on the information it does provide, Carlos McConnell was only reclaimed rather recently. It is yet to receive a formal Governor and is under nominal military control, until such time as the Ministorum dictates otherwise. That could take a few days, or a few centuries.

Since more developed worlds rarely disappear, you have some hunches.

1-10: Feral World - a primitive, backwater planet. Tend to be tribal, with clan-based governments.

11-40: Death World - a planet where everyone and everything tries to kill you. Even the plants. ESPECIALLY the plants.

41-70: Feudal World - more advanced than a feral world, but still lacking the urbanised landscape of more advanced Imperial worlds.

71-80: Civilised - has advanced to the point of having urban population centres.

81+: ??? - There are many types of world in the Imperium, though more advanced ones are less likely to disappear off galactic charts.

>>881129
A Death World. That explains a lot. Death worlds can easily lose their Imperial presence to the local flora and fauna alone. And when they don't, the locals are often militant enough on their own, if given an excuse and an opportunity. However, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of foul play.
>>881135
According to attached errata, Explorators present at rediscovery found pockets of 'civilised' settlements, well-populated and protected by mysterious shield-walls. They have been mostly well-kept by the inhabitants but show signs of Archaeotech. A relic of their long-gone discoverer, or perhaps something more ancient?
It is unknown which came first; the settlements, or their current inhabitants. McConnell is occupied by a novel yet sanctioned breed of abhuman classified as Homo Sapiens Hirsutus.

Most people call them Felinids.

Terror and triumph on a single world. How quaint.

You could have held back the promotion or rebuff the transfer request, but this proposition look like an easy solution.
You assign this fellow to the planet, submitting a letter of commendation in parallel. He'll have his promotion, but you cannot stand for dissent in the ranks. If he is as good as his record attests, he'll work his way back offworld in no time. If not, then he didn't deserve the promotion.

You are now a Commissar in a freighter speeding towards Carlos McConnell. There was a loud thump on the wall - followed by expletives, waking you from your nap.

There's not much around you. It's got the basics, including what is possibly the sector's smallest ENSUITE. You're currently in your HAMMOCK, sleeping in your underwear: your nightclothes haven't been returned (you only have one pair after losingdonating the other pair to the ship's crewmembers during a drunken game of poker). The Chrono indicates it's mid-morning. Ostensibly. You feel hungover vibrant, but you could use a freshening-up.

There's a DESK with papers across it, including the few notes you found about your destination and some of your personal stuff adorns shelf near a PORTHOLE.

Wow, those are some... really promising rolls.

It's about time you got out of bed. However, while the mind is willing your body is... not quite as empowered by the light of the Emperor. But that won't stop you getting o-FUUUCK.

While attempting to leave the hammock, the ship lurches and you proceed to roll out violently and proceed to land face first on the floor. Hard. Thankfully, you don't suffer any serious damage outside of your bruised ego. However, your back is pretty sore now, on top of your current 'vibrancy'.

It seems like everything is going wrong for you today. Your luck is terrible. Well, more terrible than usual. You've have some real bad breaks over the years. It feels like everyone hates you sometimes. Regardless, you still have some things to do today.

>>881189
You pull yourself up, grab two empty canteens and trudge over to the shower. Or rather, an all-purpose en-suite the size of a shower. It's got a commode and steel sink that pop out of the wall, though it's still metallic, cramped and plain as you'd expect. You feel a little better after a good drink of water, but the foreboding feeling refuses to disappear.
>>881191
You reach into one of the three lockers in the room and pull out your dress uniform. It looks as smart as you were hoping, complete with the pointy hat. You love the hat. You used to joke with the other teens in the Schola that you wanted to wear one when you grew up. And now, you get to wear your own! Your spirits lift a little, but not a great deal. Still, you do feel pretty dashing with all the skulls and gold trim.
>>881190
And the bolt pistol looks cool, too. It's a rare pattern and after wielding it for awhile, you can see why it's rare. It can fit standard bolter magazines and fire better from the shoulder, yet the weight imbalance isshit regrettable. You are of course not complaining. Because that would imply the Munitorum made a mistake. As the Munitorum is guided by will of the Emperor himself, such cannot possibly happen.
That would be HERESY.

You fix it up a little, but given how you're feeling, you decide against trying to clean it completely, just a little more polishing on the outside.

Now that you're all kitted-out, maybe you should check yourself out in the mirror? Maybe that will give you the ego boost needed to make it through the day.

tiebreaker

>>881336
The link won’t work.

You're still very young (13), having only just graduated on Maccabeus Quintus. Your lanky build betrays your (47) Death World origins and led to plenty of jokes aobut altitude by your peers. You were born on Karrik to a family with distant ties to one of the Rogue Trader houses of the Koronus Expanse. Your wealthy father died in a hunting accident valiantly while collecting specimens searching for family relics in the lost colony of Kenov III. Familial connections arranged for your entry into the Schola Progenium.
It is hard to remember much from that time thanks to indoctrination but they did seem happy as you left.

Your (47) tanned skin, (71) black hair and (87) green eyes are unblemished, but your (85) head seems a little small for the rest of your body. You’re unusually (76) sarcastic and biting as Commisars go, but (44) loyal to your friends and (48) enjoyed mentoring the younger Schola (your tongue kept you a little behind some of your peers).

A pendant on your breast is inscribed with the divination you were given during graduation (24): “Know the mutant, kill the mutant.” Given your assignment to a world full of filthy half-breeds, you’re pretty sure this is luck once again screwing you over.

>>881351
You sigh as you look into the mirror. This is what you worked towards. You undermined your own candidacy for the Adepta Sororitas in the hope of fighting like your father and the still send you to buttfuck nowhere a remote death world far from combat.

You’re sure it had nothing at all to do with being female.

As for your acquaintances from yesterday? They were mostly crewmembers. You think. The water really isn't doing that much to help your memory.

Looking over the units, it seems that recruiters sought a mix of individuals, mainly from the Calixis Sector. The destination itself is spinward of the Calixis Sector, within a poorly-chartered region between the Segmentuim Obscurus and Segmentum Pacifica. Several planets with notable regiments were approached, but not all those approached answered the call.
Bront: Home of the longknives (2) - declined, citing their limited numbers and recruitment practises. However, they did send instructors in close-quarters combat.
Canopus: A hive with a reputation for enginneers (3) - declined military support, but is providing vehicles, resources and manpower for construction.
Luggnum: Close-quarters underground specialists (2) - The sewer rats, being unsuited to the planet, were passed-over.
Maccabeus Quintus: Pious and unrelenting (6) - Assigned three companies of milita and one of Janissaries. You're familiar with their strength and glad to see them onboard.
Merov: Notable for penal legions (5) - To your disgust, there are three companies from their Penitentary Indentured regiments. You regret having to deal with them and you strongly suspect they had a hand in yesterday's business.
Montessa: Another death world in the Sector (3) - You don't know much about them but there is one company of Scythewinds, presumably some sort of drop trooper.
Mortessa: Not to be confused with Montessa (1) - Ignored entirely, averting any confusion over names.
Scintilla: A hive known for its noble population (7) - The rest of the companies are Fusiliers.
Thanks to that last note, life expectancy of the regiment is now looking pretty grim.

As a Junior Commissar, you'll be missing out on any of the bigger appointments and will be working with another. But you already have some clear preferences.

Seeing the low numbers available, some other planets within and without the sector that became involved militarily.

Who were they?

>Pick three worlds: two from nearby (Calixis, Ixaniad, Scanus, Koronus, possibly the Sabbath Worlds region) and one from beyond (within reason)

If you want to generate a regiment, that's cool, but will take up the third slot.

>>881480 The worlds should be outside those already listed and be capable of sparing the manpower, though not much is needed. No planet is expected to send a full regiment.

For the sake of this, the Calixis, Ixaniad and Scanus sectors are considered 'close enough' plus the Koronus Expanse. There's a lot of worlds to choose from, some better known than others. Askellon (setting of Dark Heresy 2) is a bit too far geographically, as far a I can tell.

It's possible for planets in Segmentum Pacificus (ie; Sabbat Worlds, Laanath Rifts and Saguinary Worlds) be 'close enough', but they won't be on the ship, since they'll be coming from the opposite direction. And will have a pretty perilous journey, to boot.

Searching through the 40k fluff is a nightmare at the best of times, I'll share some options. Tee biggest one would be the Malfi Light Infantry. I's an infamous Hive world: imagine a planet that's half Taris from SWTOR and half the Mos Eisley Cantina. Except far more depraved.

These worlds were excluded from the earlier list since the sources were sketchy or limited info: Clove, Lacusta, Iaxia and Volg. Outside Calixis, there's Gudrun and Vessor

Honestly though, I'd be happy for us to come up with a custom regiment to fill in the numbers. Makes things easy enough.]

Apart from a handful of (2) Ratling snipers from Cyprian's Gate, the ship's head 'chef' and the Ogryns down with munitions and storage, there aren't any abhumans onboard. The last real military unit to arrive before preparing to leave Calixis was some companies of Mordian Guard; veterans of one of the local campaigns that were disbanded after their regiments were wiped-out. There are almsot three companies worth, though they are under-manned and back-filled with various other recruits.

There is at least one other unit being collected en route - the Mechanicus' contribution to the expedition has yet to embark, snce they've been marshalled about halfway to your destination. That more or less rounds out military assets. There's room on the ship for more, but you... oh.

Bad commisars aren't killed by their subordinates, they just tend to get hit by stray fire. Which will only happen in the middle of a firefight. Audible wink.

Go get your duty roster and get out there. There are guardsmen to intimidate! and you're not getting drunk enough to see their backstories after that mess.
Double-check the dates. The daily duties are monotonous and unchanging, but having the wrong paperwork could be fatal.

>>885081
Killing a commissar of the imperial guard is not so easy. To them, fear is a snack, they eat bullets for breakfast, and they take "what's your poison" literally! (We have the half-empty cabinet of laxatives to prove it. They say your digestive tract adapts after a decade or two.) What would kill mere mortals often makes a commissar more dangerous.

>>885081
As your cantankerous boss leaves earshot, your mind inevitably wonders to the question of how you'll survive under his command. You're not exactly the most... straight-laced of Commissars but even you have serious qualms about offing a superior officer, assuming it'd even work.

You distinctly recall a bunch of kids at the Schola trying to off a sick bastard assigned to loyalty training. He deliberately paired students with their best friends, forcing seniors to off them as part of their final graduation tests.

The cleaning fluid they used was caustic enough to burn holes in anything, even low-grade hull plating. Unfortunately, said Commissar had survived a similar attempt some decades ago and had a Mechanicus-implanted digestive system. He was reassigned soon afterwards, but not before terminating the culprits... and a good twenty-five other suspects you knew had nothing to do with it.

>>885089
Even bullets tend to be an unreliable method of killing a Commissar, since a poorly-placed las round tends to make them angry, rather than dead. The inevitable bolt round to the face tends to be far more deadly. And that's before the matter of conversion fields...

>>885186
anything short of a melta charge is heresy.

>>885121

Your duties are fairly light, for now. According to your papers, the primary daily duties are the morning and afternoon inspections, reporting to your superior officers (you suppose what just happened counts for this somewhat, though you have yet to see the regimental command) and 'investigative duties'. Being in transit far from battle, there is also time allotted for training and less strenuous activities (you'll happily treat some of that as 'free time' in the closest sense you can achieve it), though you are bound to get a sound beating after exhausting your allowance already.

> Report to the Commander; there's bound to be something they need done.
> Inspect troop activities; patrols are still needed and morals to keep firm in the face of Rogue Trader laxness.
> Look for administrative tasks; you've got a way with paperwork and there's always something to do.
> Visit training facilities on the vessel for practise; it's been months since your last deployment and you'll need to be ready when you arrive.
> Free Option; you have scores to settle and a ship to explore. There's bound to be a way to do what your want while being safe from summary execution.

In the meantime, your data-slate is beeping. There seems to be an error with the name registry - you may also want to take a look at that.

[It's part of a purpose-built barracks on a RT ship near the 'nicer' decks. Rooms are pretty spartan per earlier descriptions, but they are single-occupant, so nobody's complaining!

It's not a particularly big ship by 40k standards, but this is one has well over forty hab levels so it adds up, heh.]

>>885288
You're right, that is a small ship! (Is there a bigger version of that pic?)

From that tiny image for ants, it's looking a lot like a Star Galleon. Classic Rogue Trader ship, that. For now, visit the training facilities, and input the name Katarine Steel, a strong name for a negligent fair commisar!

Visit training facilities. Your... unique boltpistol needs a keen marksman to uh, tame its machine spirit. Yes. Pretend the targets are your poker buddies, the survivors will get theirs next.
As for a name, enter Natisha Volikav.

Did you still have things to discuss about the Mechanicus regiment?

Visit training facilities. Because you should minimize the risk of an accidental stray shot to your commissari superiori. And because the whole damn galaxy is at war, you should keep yourself trained up in case you need to murder your boss the next thing to try torturing you to death.

okay, the basic feminine first name version of that is волчица (volchitsa, though there are other slavic variants eg Vuka that'd roll better off a western tongue) but I am nowhere near confident enough to just roll with that without checking if a word potentially translated as wolf-bitch is a serious insult or not

>>885552
>>885555
Well if we're going with a ruskie name why not just call her "Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovinsky" and call it a day?

>>885557
She doesn't have the beard to pull that off.

>>885555
Dude, it's 40k. The head blood guy was named Sanguinius BEFORE he was a vampire. Name convention restraint went out the window. Just roll with wolf bitch.

>>885568
Thats why she wheres a fake one as part of her uniform

hahahaha no

Wolf-Bitch is the best damn name I've ever heard for a commissar who apparently is comfortable enough with their troops to GET DRUNK AND STRIP FOR PENAL LEGIONARIES.

Honestly, as a Commissar, we should work on ensuring our troops like us as much as possible and make sure that the Commissar-Captain over there is eaten by carnivorous plants lives a long and happy life.

Remember the words of the legendary HERO OF THE IMPERIUM: Commissars who use bolter shells in response to low morale are wasting the Emperor's ammunition and lives inefficiently. You should always keep your gun pointed at the enemy to ensure your troops keep theirs there as well.

[ Just a little filler thing before next update (too busy with uni to finish images for next update atm), but I've decided to make my plans for this adventure pseudo-public by joining a worldbuilding thing.

life before internet, unfortunately

On an in context note... it seems to be two main (south pole & northern) land masses with a intermediate area of minor landmasses, and one smaller continent with little land connection to the rest.
I wonder where the main populations are, considering they are purportedly mostly around strange shielded structures, and likely not so influenced by natural formations such as water.

>>886885
Id be willing to bet they are located on that large island continent to the left or are on that big ladmass on the top right, perhaps both.

You enter your name - Vukana Steel and in your passwordCiaphas123 and look for the source of the error. For some reason, it seems to have been affected by... something. But it seems to be working. You'll get someone to have a look at it later.

For some reason, your Senior's attitude really gets your goat. All the shouting and threats; you really hoped that you'd make a positive difference as a Commissar and be more independent than you would've been as a Stormtrooper or Sister of Battle. You were so happy to be out of the Cadets and exploring the Galaxy that you let your guard way down and paid the consequences.

Surely, there must be a better way somewhere in-between those extremes.

You start making your way to the nearest range. Fortunately, it isn't that far; the main barracks is just a few floors up, closer to the upper hab-decks. Weaving through the patrols and bystanders, you eventually make it to one of the ranges, which also happens to house one of several armoury offices on the ship. It's also pretty empty.

There's a few Fusiliers outside, one of whom has a particularly smug grin on his face. The armoury itself is staffed by a rather short and stout-looking fellow with a rather odd-looking beard and there's someone already in the range, dressed in a large one-piece orange jumpsuit.

Do some shootin' practice!

Shooting time. Try a conventional firearm that works. Try your own trusty firearm. Perform basic maintenance and remind it that if it we can't use it in the field it could end up being found by anyone, and ork maintenance is not gentle. Try shooting again...

>short and stout-looking fellow with a rather odd-looking beard
I have a sudden horrible feeling that we were retconned.

Chastise the Fusiliers for muckin' about.

Order the marksmen to check EVERY rifle in the bin. Seriously, why is there a BIN? If those guns misfire, there will be 'reprimands' all around and it's going to be a mess.

Practice the art of resupply - after the checkups are complete, time yourself and shoot the target over 120 seconds, discarding entire assault rifles and grabbing guns from the rack to minimize reload speed.

Oh mah Emperor....

Having administratum issued lasguns out in such disorder is disgraceful! Guardsmen can be shot for so much as disrespecting their weapon on the battlefield!
They don't even seem to be marked as part of the firing range! You would expect them to be painted yellow, or tagged or or... SOMETHING! Whats to stop a scum nugget from nicking one while no ones looking and it never being seen again?!

Don't get started on the helmet, though that's probably some guardsmen's fault.

Oh, take a closer look at the posters,

Worldbuilding June posts are up for first two days plus the day 3 planet.
