Warhammer: Starting as a Planetary Governor

The Ten-Year Plan outlined dozens of major construction projects, including the expansion of spaceports, the establishment of shipyards, and the construction of weapons manufacturing facilities.

One critical aspect of the plan was military development, covering forces such as the Imperial Guards, Adeptus Astartes, Adepta Sororitas, Storm Troopers, and the Navy.

The Adeptus Astartes Chapter, in particular, was progressing rapidly. Research into biological engineering was in its final stages, with small-scale human trials for genetic enhancements already underway.

Urth's approach to military organization was far more efficient than the Imperium's.

In the Imperium, military institutions operated independently, each with its own recruitment processes, objectives, and logistics. This created inefficiencies and, in the case of Space Marine Chapters, fostered excessive autonomy.

Many Chapters acted like independent kingdoms, with their own homeworlds and self-sufficient supply chains. This autonomy increased the likelihood of rebellion, as history had repeatedly shown.

In contrast, Urth's armed forces were unified under the Department of War, ensuring seamless coordination and mutual support.

Each division served the greater purpose of supporting the Savior, Eden, with distinct roles rather than hierarchical superiority.

This streamlined communication, centralized command, and eliminated interdepartmental rivalries.

The main forces included:

Storm Troopers: Ground forces, commanded by Arye.

Navy Fleet: Space forces, commanded by Kaes.

Void Angels: Adeptus Astartes Chapter, led by Duke.

Battle Sisters: Adepta Sororitas, led by Maya.

Auxiliary personnel, such as Ecclesiarchal priests and Mechanicus tech-priests, were integrated into these units as needed.

With the command structure in place, Eden delegated military operations to the Department of War. They managed everything efficiently, allowing Eden to focus on strategic planning.

After reviewing their reports, Eden noted:

The Storm Troopers were rapidly expanding, both in standard infantry and elite Storm Soldiers.

The Navy, under Kaes, was still organizing personnel and refurbishing decommissioned Defense Fleet vessels.

The Battle Sisters, under Maya, were diversifying their orders.

New non-militant orders included:

Healers' Order: Composed of surgeons, doctors, and nurses.

Stewardship Order: Advising and serving high-ranking officials, researchers, and noble families.

Linguistic Order: Specializing in translating Imperial dialects and studying xenos languages.

The Void Angels, led by Duke, were undergoing genetic enhancements. Progress was promising, with remarkably low fatality rates during the augmentation process.

Satisfied with the progress, Eden decided to leave these tasks to the experts.

Eden's control over Urth was unparalleled. Through the psychic network and the citizen rank system, he could issue commands with unparalleled efficiency.

For example, Eden could directly order a specific worker in the lower hive. The AI would ensure the secret order was delivered discreetly.

This level of authority made Eden akin to a deity, with the entire territory bending to his will.

"Alright, that's enough work for today."

After reviewing a few more documents, Eden stretched and turned off his cogitator.

"Governor, your afternoon tea," Linda, the head maid, announced as she entered.

The maids placed a luxurious tea set on the table and then departed, leaving Eden to relax.

The Spire Estate's culinary standards had recently been upgraded. A dedicated farm now supplied the freshest fruits, vegetables, meats, and spices, all of exceptional quality.

The Agricultural Institute constantly refined their techniques to produce hardier, higher-yielding, and tastier crops and livestock.

Linda stood behind Eden, gently massaging his shoulders—her favorite task.

As the head maid, Linda rarely concerned herself with the outside world. Her universe revolved around the Spire Estate, a microcosm that felt like a small city.

The estate housed tens of thousands of carefully selected personnel, many of whom came from families that had served the estate for generations.

For them, serving Eden was a privilege and a dream fulfilled.

"How's the pressure?" Linda asked softly.

"Perfect," Eden replied, savoring the massage.

Eden's physical enhancements were subtle, retaining the human form while enabling temporary psychic amplification during combat.

Unlike the Primarchs, who wore cumbersome armor and often sacrificed basic human pleasures, Eden chose to enjoy life.

He couldn't imagine enduring the discomfort of sitting in an office while clad in heavy plate armor.

After years of relentless conflict, Urth was finally enjoying a period of stability. Eden saw no harm in indulging in some well-deserved luxury.

As he savored a bite of berry ice cream, a thought crossed his mind—the Emperor.

The Emperor, eternally bound to the Golden Throne, endured endless torment.

"What a tragedy," Eden muttered, his eyes misting over.

Someday, he vowed, he would find a way to liberate the Emperor and offer him the retirement he deserved.

Eden took another bite of macaron and popped open a can of chilled soda, specially developed by the Food Research Institute.

He chuckled, recalling the chaotic experiments involving insect-cattle meat.

Parasitic larvae scurrying across the lab had prompted Eden to demand a separate research facility for such projects.

"I don't want parasites leaping out of my soda," he thought with a shudder.

After finishing his meal, Eden lounged on the sofa for a while before standing up.

"Time for a stroll!"

He decided to visit the Loyalist Academy and observe the future of Urth.
