>>5261221Presuming I am somewhat mostly correct, then strategically:
"Planet of the Faithful" - Going here, whether it be Voss or some other Mechanicus religous world, would allow us to have a greater voice among the conservatives I feel. Particularly if it is Voss who is "Right Hand of Mars". We could try and push for us to become the Omnissiah perhaps.
(btw I have a plan for how we can become the actual Omnissiah without psyker powers, I'll detail that in a next post)
If the "Secrets" world is Stygies, in addition to a plethora of xenos genetic samples that could potentially prove of use as well as their stealth technology, getting in touch with Xenarites and winning them over could prove useful. We could finally give AL3X a good role, and even set her and ourselves on the long journey to uncover the secrets of the necrons!
"Xana II", well, while we know of its dark fate in the Heresy, we also know that there would be quite many mysteries to uncover. A single forge world surrounding a lonely star with no other constellations in the on the far flung of the Galaxy? Being so older that it is definitely not an Ark Mechanicus colonized world, perhaps being a DAoT construct? It was simply too powerful to exist so far away from Mars, and yet they were there.
In canon, Xana was too powerful to fully subjugate due to the Rangdan war happening and the Imperium couldn't spare resourecs. But we can spare resources, and theoretically if we wanted to play with an iron fist we could attempt to lock control over it and maybe mitigate the Heresy as well as unlock some of its mysteries. It might also make a GREAT place for the Pariah Project, being far away, closer to the Halo Stars, and by making it a Null World we could cripple the influence of Chaos to boot.
During the Heresy they were able to move the planet to the eye of Terror. Likely this was a planetary warp drive, but given how such a strong forge world was found in the middle of fucking nowhere maybe its some DAoT drive still buried, that we could apply to Lucius or use to uncover its secrets. Who knows maybe its a sister planet of a sorts!
Speaking of, Graia's Crown is more definitely confirmed to have mass scale space orbital warp drives of very large calibre. Such technology would prove useful to our fleet and the Federation, as they use it for mobile means of resource extraction and construction. Imagine if not only the fleets of lucius went out to travel and construct worlds, but entire manufactorusm in space ready to completely redevop a planet in the blink of an eye? We could even start work on our own crown for Lucius.
