Actions Rolls

[Military] "Invade" R18
With 1 unled unit, equipped with Energy Conversion Weapons and Enhanced Microplating
The Syndrome send a scientific and military presence to R18 in order to aid the station in thawing out its inhabitants and to learn more about this fascinating ancient species and culture.

[Military] The Paragon Project 3/5
The project continues at full speed. The first generations of Paragons are born early in the year, having been conceived late in the previous year. The generation is marked by strange mutations, birth defects, and other irregularities, but do have traces of abnormal power as well. Some Paragons of this generation are able to breathe underwater, generate electricity, or have increased psychic power, but all that survive long are malformed in some way.

[Military] The Paragon Project 4/5
Weaving a stronger base of Iteus' DNA provides a marked reduction in the Paragons' harmful mutations, and increases the strength of their beneficial ones. They can fly, survive in the vacuum of space, and more, but the strength of their powers seems proportional to their deformity.

[Military] The Paragon Project 5/5
Effect: +1 Unit Cap (approved)
With the third generation, the Paragon template has stabilized significantly. All Paragons bear some sort of mark which makes them obvious at a glance, but otherwise are normal for their species. Their powers range from telepathy to electrical control to the ability to survive unharmed in any environment short of a sun's corona.

[Diplomacy] Finalize Claim on R20
After the Syndrome quietly reached out to the energy beings inhabiting R20, they found them receptive to joining the Protectorates. An accord is soon signed.

[Intrigue] Secret Action (REDACTED-14)
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.

Nonactions

Support Conversions of all owned LCs to the Church of Iteus.
Support buyouts by RMT, CLS and ITS against open TPs in Syndrome territory.
Resist everything else.
