“These people have never known the light of the Emperor, and their Noble’s heresy has left them unable to fully understand their position in the galaxy at large. We will need to guide them, and show the rest of the Aldanis system why connecting to Winterscale’s realm and the Imperial Cult is the only true way of life.”
-Demni Winterscale
There is 20 PF to be handed out at the end of capturing the capitol (extensive damage to infrastructure from the war can bring this down to 10 PF; perfect execution of the war can bump this up to 25 PF)
-
Demni Winterscale will get 7 minimum (she has powerful ties to the Haephestus Expedition), but may be willing to allow 1 more profit factor go to Caine after successful negotiation.
-
Lord-Marshall Gustavius will get 3 PF (he’s being paid through other avenues).
-
Agrippa Strith will get 5 PF.
-
Base, Caine will get 5 PF from the war.
If Heavy damage occurs, everyone loses 1 PF for each 4 PF lost, though Caine and Strith will lose more (1-4, 5-8, 9-10). Loses go in reverse order as listed (Caine, Agrippa, Gustavius, Demni).

Negotiations
-
If Gustavius whittles down Caine’s army, Caine loses 1 PF; if Caine one-ups Gustavius or humiliates him by revealing Gustavius’s secrets, he gains 1 PF from Gustavius’ share (though now a powerful Mercenary company doesn’t like him)
-
If Caine is a junior member of Demni’s delegation and makes her look foolish, he loses 1 PF; if he makes her look good, he gains 1 PF from Agrippa’s share
-
If Caine is a full partner and causes a major disruption to the others’ war efforts, he loses 2 PF from the final output (and continual disruptions to his supply chains from intrigue)
-
If Caine is a full partner, and he does something incredibly outstanding, he gains 1 PF
-
Caine can reveal dangerous secrets from any of the three main characters (gaining 1 PF for each, but gaining an enemy in the process)
-
Caine can ‘call in a favor’ if he did something incredibly heroic to personally save a main character or a major portion of their fighting forces (except for Agrippa Strith, who will only be indebted if Caine personally save Agrippa himself), gaining up to 1 PF from each main party (Demni, Gustavius, and Agrippa)
Note: Caine should also negotiate for assets that he wants here.
Note: it is possible to end with a negative PF from this campaign (representing the enormous expenses incurred from the invasion and continued rebuilding programs, and no control over profitable assets)
