>>5481396>Governmental issues.>Other: Convene with Kelbor Hal to help organize Taghmata Omnissiah, based on our administration of the Federation. This will mean a more organized Mechanicum territory with taxes.>This will in the long run ensure that tithes for Mechanicum territory are handled for and by the Mechanicum, not the Imperial Government, and could be a positive incentive for Hal as well as fulfill our promise to help him maintain Martian prominencehttps://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Taghmata_OmnissiahThe "Taghmata" means "That which is divinely ordained for war". That is what Forge Worlds are and should always be at the end of the day, war producers. It's shameful so many forge worlds do not comprehend that they were built as factories to make products, not to self aggrandize their masters.
If there must be taxes, let's crack at it now. Eventually the Imperium will also get around to making their own Adminstratum to demand taxes of their worlds. Sure there will be a rise in resistance and non-compliant worlds, but that's part and parcel of the Great Crusade. There will eventually be so many non-compliant worlds that penal regiments will form and even Russ will comment on them.
"There are those who undervalue the Penal Legions. But they should consider this: should a man who has wronged the Emperor be allowed to wrong him further? For each man executed is a man who can no longer serve, and to fail in service to the Emperor is the greatest of sins."
—Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves Legion, Meditations on Imperial Command, Book XXI
Let's get a head start. If we organize our own taxes ourselves, then like Roboute's Ultramar, we can ensure that the taxes from non-forge worlds in the influence of Mechanicum realms go towards the Mechanicum first.
