[X] Plan: No idea what to call this plan
I'll have to go through and hunt down all the omakes at some point, I got lazy and stopped threadmarking them. Sorry!
If anybody wants to compile a list of them, it'll get done much faster.

Occasionally spouting nonsense
I made sure to include the word “Omake” in all of mine, so just look the word up with the search function in the thread and you should get all mine.

OK, Omakes should be threadmarked, any I missed let me know

The Dino movie one in the last page 399 has not been threadmarked, if it is long enough.
Fixed, I thought I got that one LOL
Now all should be done, apart from the really short ones that were more jokes than actual omakes.

You are trying, and failing, to wrap your mind around the final product of Periphery Studies: The Musical The Play The Musical. It is some unholy amalgamation of Cats, Avenue Q, Rocky Horror, and the Spongebob Musical. With Gershwin music. And kazoos. You decide then and there that there are certain things man is not meant to know. Like who is Urist and why is giving him ale so important.
You do get to spend some off-time with your kids, cruising on the Imperial Yacht. Tamara is near the top of her class at the Calliope Military Academy, and Lisa, frighteningly enough, graduated ‘with honors’ from St Trinian’s. Given what you know of the latter school, this does indeed worry you just a little. Mary will be finishing high school next year, and the twins are enjoying themselves at a small military school on Nowa Warszawa, while your youngest is still very much the baby of the family.
You do have a rather enjoyable time on your vacation, and thankfully no new emergencies have occurred while you were doing so.
Still nothing from the Black Steel, which is a great relief as the majority of the surviving Grand Fleet ships are finally coming out of their spacedocks. The new construction is also coming online, reinforcing the remnants of the Grand Fleet as well as allowing transfers of vessels from the Expeditionary Fleet. All of the Prinz Eugen-class heavy cruisers formerly assigned to the Expeditionary Fleet have been transferred to the Grand Fleet, patching some more of the holes in the latter’s TOE..
The new Battle subtype of the Fubuki-class has its first units laid down, and initial inspections of the hulls as they are under construction indicates that the updates and refreshes applied to the design have been even more successful than expected. Early reports are that the crew quarters, escape systems, and overall quality of life for the crews will be far superior to the rather cramped Fubukis.
The colonization process this year seems to start out pretty much as normal, with the establishment of the Nouvelle Bourgogne and Nyū Shikoku systems proceeding pretty much precisely according to plan.
It is with Neubayern and Neuhessen where things go rather off the rails, albeit mostly in positive ways.
During the early landings on Neubayern the early colonists discover rather more extensive mineral deposits than anticipated, as large anomalous ore bodies are found in geologies that they shouldn’t have been in, indicating that the planet at some point had suffered prolonged asteroid bombardment relatively ‘recently’ in geologic terms. As a consequence, the planet has been rerated as ‘Rich’ in terms of economic and mineral potential.
The establishment of the system government and justice system there has also proceeded with enormous efficiency and smoothness, guaranteeing that this system should be quite well run and efficiently administered.
Neuhessen, on the other hand… well, initially it appears to be going quite normally, until something catches your eye. The new system government has quite quietly deleted all of the laws and regulations related to public nudity, instead applying the same standards that the rest of the Empire only permits in designated nude beaches to the entire planet. Your face and your palm have a loving relationship. It doesn’t help things when you discover that the majority of the personnel making up the local justice system are graduates of St Trinian’s, including quite a few girls well known to your daughter.
You foresee chaos in the future there.
That foresight proves immediately prescient, as you realize that all four of the new colonies have somehow acquired orbital shipyards that were not in the final approved budget plan, weren't paid for out of the Imperial budget… but somehow are there and available.
Those orbital shipyard modules require Imperial approval to be built, as they are full mil spec systems. You dig into things to try and figure out what happened.
Apparently, a subscription campaign was held among the new colonists to the four worlds in question which raised the money to purchase the modules, which is all well and good. Such has happened in the past, but you’d always known about it beforehand. The paperwork authorizing them wasn’t signed by you…
You find out the truth of it a few days later on your birthday, when your loving daughters present you with the final pieces of the puzzle when you unwrap the joint present from your two oldest daughters… in coordination with the four new colonies they present said orbital shipyards to you. Your second daughter made use of the mad skills acquired at St Trinian’s to slip the authorization for the yards into the queue, while also slipping in the payments from the subscription campaign in order to fund them without creating any accounting irregularities. Your eldest daughter had used her own credentials and status as your heir to cover for her younger sister’s activities.
You jokingly threaten to send your daughters to the new prison expansion in Griff’s Leap if they ever do something like this again, a ‘threat’ which is met by general laughter by the rest of your family. Showing that he was fully in the loop, and anticipated your reaction, your husband promptly breaks out the striped sweatshirts for all, to general laughter as you chase him around the living room, laughing the entire time.
Economic development is going very smoothly indeed across the Empire, with the various focus programs showing excellent results, and the investments improving economic performance in all of the targeted systems. Nuova Lombardia and Nuovo Abruzzo have been upgraded in terms of overall economic prospects thanks to the investments in infrastructure and industrial zoning.
The civil service expansion is going quite well this year, giving you greater flexibility in the future. Down the road, the explosive recent growth in colonies does mean you’ll need to expand the colonial office soon to keep up, but that shouldn’t be an issue for a few more years.
Other than the unexpected shipyard modules, in general new yard construction occurs precisely to plan, expanding your production capacities rather nicely. At this point you can lay down 8 capital ships a year quite easily, with future expansion allowing even higher production cadences.
DoME reports great success in their latest terraforming operations, with the three targeted worlds reporting significantly improved living conditions. The arcologies on Shin Tōkyō continue to be expanded, even as the surrounding environment improves, allowing for even more population and economic growth in that future city-world.

-----
You are trying, and failing, to wrap your mind around the final product of Periphery Studies: The Musical The Play The Musical. It is some unholy amalgamation of Cats, Avenue Q, Rocky Horror, and the Spongebob Musical. With Gershwin music. And kazoos. You decide then and there that there are certain things man is not meant to know. Like who is Urist and why is giving him ale so important.
You do get to spend some off-time with your kids, cruising on the Imperial Yacht. Tamara is near the top of her class at the Calliope Military Academy, and Lisa, frighteningly enough, graduated ‘with honors’ from St Trinian’s. Given what you know of the latter school, this does indeed worry you just a little. Mary will be finishing high school next year, and the twins are enjoying themselves at a small military school on Nowa Warszawa, while your youngest is still very much the baby of the family.
You do have a rather enjoyable time on your vacation, and thankfully no new emergencies have occurred while you were doing so.
Still nothing from the Black Steel, which is a great relief as the majority of the surviving Grand Fleet ships are finally coming out of their spacedocks. The new construction is also coming online, reinforcing the remnants of the Grand Fleet as well as allowing transfers of vessels from the Expeditionary Fleet. All of the Prinz Eugen-class heavy cruisers formerly assigned to the Expeditionary Fleet have been transferred to the Grand Fleet, patching some more of the holes in the latter’s TOE..
The new Battle subtype of the Fubuki-class has its first units laid down, and initial inspections of the hulls as they are under construction indicates that the updates and refreshes applied to the design have been even more successful than expected. Early reports are that the crew quarters, escape systems, and overall quality of life for the crews will be far superior to the rather cramped Fubukis.
The colonization process this year seems to start out pretty much as normal, with the establishment of the Nouvelle Bourgogne and Nyū Shikoku systems proceeding pretty much precisely according to plan.
It is with Neubayern and Neuhessen where things go rather off the rails, albeit mostly in positive ways.
During the early landings on Neubayern the early colonists discover rather more extensive mineral deposits than anticipated, as large anomalous ore bodies are found in geologies that they shouldn’t have been in, indicating that the planet at some point had suffered prolonged asteroid bombardment relatively ‘recently’ in geologic terms. As a consequence, the planet has been rerated as ‘Rich’ in terms of economic and mineral potential.
The establishment of the system government and justice system there has also proceeded with enormous efficiency and smoothness, guaranteeing that this system should be quite well run and efficiently administered.
Neuhessen, on the other hand… well, initially it appears to be going quite normally, until something catches your eye. The new system government has quite quietly deleted all of the laws and regulations related to public nudity, instead applying the same standards that the rest of the Empire only permits in designated nude beaches to the entire planet. Your face and your palm have a loving relationship. It doesn’t help things when you discover that the majority of the personnel making up the local justice system are graduates of St Trinian’s, including quite a few girls well known to your daughter.
You foresee chaos in the future there.
That foresight proves immediately prescient, as you realize that all four of the new colonies have somehow acquired orbital shipyards that were not in the final approved budget plan, weren't paid for out of the Imperial budget… but somehow are there and available.
Those orbital shipyard modules require Imperial approval to be built, as they are full mil spec systems. You dig into things to try and figure out what happened.
Apparently, a subscription campaign was held among the new colonists to the four worlds in question which raised the money to purchase the modules, which is all well and good. Such has happened in the past, but you’d always known about it beforehand. The paperwork authorizing them wasn’t signed by you…
You find out the truth of it a few days later on your birthday, when your loving daughters present you with the final pieces of the puzzle when you unwrap the joint present from your two oldest daughters… in coordination with the four new colonies they present said orbital shipyards to you. Your second daughter made use of the mad skills acquired at St Trinian’s to slip the authorization for the yards into the queue, while also slipping in the payments from the subscription campaign in order to fund them without creating any accounting irregularities. Your eldest daughter had used her own credentials and status as your heir to cover for her younger sister’s activities.
You jokingly threaten to send your daughters to the new prison expansion in Griff’s Leap if they ever do something like this again, a ‘threat’ which is met by general laughter by the rest of your family. Showing that he was fully in the loop, and anticipated your reaction, your husband promptly breaks out the striped sweatshirts for all, to general laughter as you chase him around the living room, laughing the entire time.
Economic development is going very smoothly indeed across the Empire, with the various focus programs showing excellent results, and the investments improving economic performance in all of the targeted systems. Nuova Lombardia and Nuovo Abruzzo have been upgraded in terms of overall economic prospects thanks to the investments in infrastructure and industrial zoning.
The civil service expansion is going quite well this year, giving you greater flexibility in the future. Down the road, the explosive recent growth in colonies does mean you’ll need to expand the colonial office soon to keep up, but that shouldn’t be an issue for a few more years.
Other than the unexpected shipyard modules, in general new yard construction occurs precisely to plan, expanding your production capacities rather nicely. At this point you can lay down 8 capital ships a year quite easily, with future expansion allowing even higher production cadences.
DoME reports great success in their latest terraforming operations, with the three targeted worlds reporting significantly improved living conditions. The arcologies on Shin Tōkyō continue to be expanded, even as the surrounding environment improves, allowing for even more population and economic growth in that future city-world.

Occasionally spouting nonsense
Thank goodness for Our daughters, Espionage School for Children, and wealthy nudists! What a weird sentence to put together. Still, glad to see all that Naked Volleyball money being put to good use.
Turn 112 - Kill 'Em All
Turn 112 - Kill ‘Em All
You have decided that while you quite appreciate the end-result, your darling daughters need a reminder that they aren’t supposed to abuse their position like they had, without checking with you first. Granted, that would have spoiled the entire surprise, but there are ways of handling things like that. For example, go through your husband for the attaining of approval for unspecified shenanigans.
Therefore, you decide that you will personally handle showing the Imperial flag, so to speak, at the Olympics this year rather than letting them do it for you, which they’d quite enjoyed for the last few ones. The pouting is legendary, as are the accusations that you just wanted the chance to do it yourself and were grossly abusing your parental authority.
You quite airily point out that Tamara is supposed to start her military service, seeing as how she’d been assigned to the 3rd Heavy Regimental Combat Team Division as a platoon leader thanks to her stellar grades from the Calliope Military Academy, that Lisa has completed her gap year and is supposed to be attending Griffin's Roost University to begin her own studies, Mary has decided to forego a gap year and is following in her eldest sisters footsteps, to an extent, and going to the Griffon Naval Academy, the twins are hard at work in high school and have their full race schedule in the junior league as they follow in their great-uncle's footsteps, and your youngest will be accompanying you, since she has not done anything to earn parental disapproval.
Oh, you point out as you depart, you’ve also hired the family raptor pack to report on any planned shenanigans by those of your children remaining behind in the palace. And then you are off before the cries at that injustice are finished echoing.
Mom power, plus Empress power, for the win.
The first sighting of any Black Steel units since the Fourth Battle of Arvum has finally occurred, a pair of scouting corvettes are run off by system defense forces in the Kurortas system. This immediately flags a number of alerts, as Black Steel forces had not been seen that far south for a very long time. Analysts are not certain if this presages a shift in their axis of attack or if instead this is merely an attempt to redirect your forces away from the Arvum schwerpunkt.
Meanwhile a number of Rouges Noir attacks have occurred in that sector of space, although the rather pathetic nature of their equipment pretty much guarantees that they have horrid times of things. The Expeditionary Fleet is only needed a single time, and that only because they happened to be present when the attack happened, as your jump point defenses have proved more than adequate against this threat. You are quite aware that this will change when you go on the offensive and the Rouges Noir are able to make use of their more powerful units.
The Bourbons have requested assistance with the cleanup work on Nouveau Paris. There’s no real reason to refuse the request, so you authorize the dispatch of a small Tiger Team headed by DoME experts. The report you get back indicates that the damage is very widespread and that in order to prevent ecological collapse of the planet due to the enormous radiation damage it will be necessary to commit a full DoME team to the job.
While en-route to the Olympics you are briefed on the first of the proposed upgraded ASF designs, although they are waiting to finalize things until your R&D people finish work on Omnifighter technology. The initial revision for the venerable Eagle is fairly straightforward, building upon the current layout and improving it with the latest technology. It is noted that studies are underway on an all-energy armed ‘Super Eagle’ variant which would be five tons heavier with an identical performance profile, but marrying an all-energy armament with more advanced avionics.
There is also a proposed ‘Golden Eagle’ variant, which is also all-energy armed but at the same tonnage point as the current bird. Swapping the PPCs for a pair of extended range 8cm lasers and a full brace of 5cm pulse lasers, the Golden Eagle is intended as a pure anti-swarm fighter. It has the same electronics suite as the proposed ‘Super Eagle’, but also has 3 tons more fuel to increase combat endurance significantly.
You get word that the Gripen has gone into full production for the NRR and Romans, the latter surprises you a little since the fighter is lacking a gauss rifle, but evidently the NRI isn’t quite as stubborn in that regard as you’d thought.
You finally arrive at New Port Royal for the Olympics. The Opening Ceremonies are held a few days later and are extremely extravagant, as only the cheerfully ‘corrupt-in-name-only’ locals can put on. They’ve pulled out just about all the stops, resulting in a truly wonderful show.
Unfortunately the show is marred. About halfway through a massive gunfight breaks out in one of the parking areas as a Rouges Noir terror cell attempts to attack the ceremony. Thankfully the IGMP, Special Branch, and local security forces are completely on the ball, and HAZMAT teams are immediately deployed to contain a crude chemical weapons spill. Your security forces take light casualties and are under close medical observation to rule out any bioweapon deployment, although thankfully a combined Kilburroughan and Griffon biomedical team is available to make that assessment which, to the relief of all, comes up clean. No civilians were harmed in the attack.
Preliminary reports are that the terror cell had been a sleeper cell that had managed to go undetected until they were activated for this attack. Security forces had been tipped off at the last moment when one of the relatives of the sleepers who’d gone native had realized what was about to happen and immediately called the police. According to her, her husband had claimed that he too had changed loyalties, and she’d had no indication of his deception until she found him missing and a note from him bragging about the deception. According to the IGMP all evidence shows that she is being completely truthful about this.

| [] | Action | Argument | Effect |
| [] | Deploy DoME team to Nouveau Paris for cleanup efforts | While the Bourbons may not be the closest of allies, they are still our friends. The enormous damage caused by the use of weapons of mass destruction by the Rouges Noir terrorists is something that all civilized people should unite against. We have four available DoME teams, dedicating one for a few years to this project will build enormous good will and show that we are willing to put our money where our mouth is about freedom, liberty, and human rights. |
|
| [] | We need them here at home. | The Bourbons are aristocratic snobs unworthy of any real assistance from us in this regard, let the noble bastards suffer. They brought this all on themselves, no doubt, and deserve everything they get. Not one red cent should be spent on helping them. |

no reason why we shouldn't. And besides, the time is coming when the Bourbons become another part of the Griffin's roost empire.
