>>5268530Imagine if we could make it into the Sisters of Silence only recruiting world? By having even a fraction of a percentage of a chance of Nulls being born here by merit of how many live and make families here.
Also one more thing I just realized. Know what else is in the Halo Stars? The forgeworld of Palomar! (the 30k interactive map has it in ultima segmentum, but having read the book and from the wiki it's actually in Segmentum Pacificus)
Know what's on it? The lost arkship Speranza! The largest known Ark Mechanicus in the lore. The Onus Probandi is good, but it is no Ark Lucius. But what if we found a new one? To find such a lost relic would surely increase our legitimacy, even if it will take time to recover and restore to space worthiness we could at least discover it so Lucius can work on repairing it while we continue our adventures.
The Blackstone Fortress is a bit too big and slow for fast travel but we do need a proper Primarch worthy flagship one day. Maybe we could even coax the Onus Probandi to allow us to add itself onto the Speranza, and merge its machine spirit into the vessel? That could speed up its reconstruction.
