+Sanctus Dominus, the last of the enemy fleet have destroyed themselves.+ Announced a Magos as she TalOS a replay on the events, +We have complete naval supiriority.+
+As it should be.+ TalOS declared as he looked through the catalog, +Give me stats on the planet. If my eyes are correct, that is liquid water upon its surface.+
+Scanning.+ Another Magos declared as TalOS was quickly fed an immense amount of information.
The Oxygen levels were at 10% with the atmosphere having a decent amount of nitrogen already there. The flora situation was moderate but with it mostly being foreign it would likely cause problems when mankind would attempt to inhabit it.
Next to those the material factor was fifty five percent iron with a greater than average nickel deposits. With the system detecting some Lithium within the rock as well the planet was of moderate mineral value.
Lastly, for location, the planet was in an okay position for a Forge World.
TalOS simply gave a nod to this as he spoke, +What is the estimate turn around for conversion into a Forge World?+
+Fifty Eight Years Sanctus Dominus.+ Declared another Magos as TalOS was fed his thesis. The paper TalOS quickly looked over showed that the planet would be capable of becoming an active Forge World within the allotted time of conquest.
It was a simple fact that bombardment was a big factor here, as with cracking a planet it will take six hundred years for the planet to stabilize and become suitable for landing once again. This planet was within the second percentile of planets underneath that mark. It could prove very profitable in the future to take the planet now but there was an immense investment in time, manpower, and upkeep before the planet became self-sustaining.
This was a planet that TalOS needed to ponder for a moment. They could not ignore it as the sensors picked up a series of the Xenos Ships upon the planet’s surface. It cannot be left unscathed.
>Blow it up, we do not have the time.
>Assault it so it can be claimed now
>Split the fleet, for the risk is worth both the time and resources.
