  1. Set up Geneator labs on some big-enough asteroid (or an otherwise uninhabited planet)
  2. Develop brain implant that supresses their psyker powers & prevents agression, but also can allow their psyker powers again and force agression against our enemies
  3. Start cloning them, dye their fur as marking (base color + different color stripes for notes like "when/where made","psyker?", etc)
    • Has psyker abilities? Fit with above mentioned implants.
    • No ability? Use as the meat part of Servitors, sell as exotic pets, use as meat for some food diversity...
  4. Congratulations, we have weaponized psyker care-bears.
 
Hey, want to have a real effort to improve menial conditions?

Join the Illuminated mechanicus today, healthy and happy people increase productivity, praise The Omnissiah!

I feel like this time around the Seekers aren't doing anything too out there other than their last plank, which won't pass.

Im pretty sure plank 4 is straight up illegal, nr.3 and the outreach aren't exactly harmless either.

    [X] Plan: Saneish Safeish Governance
    - [X] Party: Seekers of the Omnissiah
    - [X] 1: Construct an orbital life, taking special care to make sure the workers on the project are treated well and survive
    - [X] 2: Reach out to the xeno clans nearest to the landing to attempt to integrate them into our nation, albeit under supervision given their low tech origins. If they refuse integrate them by force. They are not to be exterminated, but annexed so their psychic power can be put to use and their knowledge of the world exploited
    - [X] 3: Construct more and greater temples to the Omnissiah, which shall double as places to give some practical education in the ways of the Machine God to the menials. Make sure to stock them with radicals

    [X] Yes (Law-making mini-turn)
    [X] The Enlightenment Plan
    [X] Plan: Going Up
    -[X] Party Name: Holy Machine Faction
    -[X] Coalition: Name: Glory of the Omnissiah Goals: Build up our Forge world to create wonders
    --[X] Invited to Join:Illuminated Mechanicus, Sect of Holy Lighting Inspiration, Society of the Living Alloy, Cogs of Justice
    --[X] Not: Seekers of the Omnissiah
    -[X] 1: Order work on an upgrade to magma sieves, if we can dig deeper, hopefully we can start extracting more rare minerals and reducing imports.
    -[X] 2: Expand agri-complexes on the moon. With the Xenos pushed back, it is time we expanded our food production so as to remove corpse starch entirely and save the bodies for servitors.
    -[X] 3: Begin construction of a new factorum to create this new material given to us by the Pandora Machine. We can use it to make close combat weapons for the Skitarii, void ship parts, and as structural material for an orbital lift.
    -[X] 4: Build a full Shrine/Research temple for the Holy Pandora machine so we can worship and study this Holy Machine. With a new Holy Knowledge given to us, we much thank the mouth piece of the Omnissiah properly..
    -[X] 5: Use the new cheaper better ceramic material to build an orbital elevator. With this new material, construction should be even cheaper and fast than before.
    -[X] Outreach: While our factions numbers have gone down, the holy work continues to be done and the base level off all tech priests has improved. Even greater news, the Holy Pandora Machine has graced us with a new knowledge and a new direction. This wonderful material is perfect for pushing our industry into space. Therefore, the faction will focus its resources and skills to apply the new material into void ships designs and the orbital elevator. For example, ramming prows will have sharped Saturnite so they can cut through ships rather than just smash them. Also, as a kind of ablative armor as it handles heat so well, it could be an extra layer of armor to absorb laser and plasma hits. Finally any space stations like fortresses and ship yards will be able to deal with solar radiation better(heat and energy from stars are crazy when you don't have an atmosphere to help)
    [X] Plan: Nature's Bounty
    -[X] Party: Society of the Living Alloy
    -[X] Coalition: Yes: Humanists, Cogs of Justice, Sect of the holy lightning inspiration, Holy machine faction. No: TBD
    -[X] 1: Begin the construction of an orbital lift.
    -[X] 2: Set up a temple to the machine god on the forest moon dedicated to the genetic engineer aspect of the Omnissiah. The temple will also serve as a place of learning so new members can be trained as Genetors.
    --[X] The temple is set up in a double helix spire to show complexity of beauty of the human genome and give honor to the Omnissiah as the creator of such beauty. Two entwined spires with bridges connecting them.
    -[X] 3: Construct facilities to grow, experiment, and refine the newly discovered plant species on the forest moon.
    -[X] 4: Construct facilities to monitor the genetic health of the Forge World's population and ensure the propagation of beneficial traits and the removal negative ones through genetic modification and selective match making.
    -[X] 5: Create cloning facilities for the production of specialized brains to be used in advanced cogitators.
    -[X] Outreach: Create a unique regiment of Skittarii recruited from the forest moon that focus primarily on bioaugments over mechanical ones.

    -[X] 1: Beginn the planing stage of the "Mechadendrites for Sidonia" Special project (space elevators&associated infrastructure)
    -[X] 2: Increase co-operation between experienced Tech-Priests and the schools, so the learning get more guidance from the experienced and can gain the attention of those experienced who consider them promising.
    -[X] 3: Institute a system of testing to open up the way into the schools for capable menials and to ease the way from the schools to Tech-Priesthood of the specialization most fitting the pupil.
    -[X] 4: Institute a new Standard work shift system, four six hour shifts shall be instituted with each preceded and followed by time for shift changes and a short service for the workers, making for a total of seven hours spent at the workplace for six days a week. This will ensure maximum productivity for every workhour, Ave Omnissiah.
    -[X] 5: Create a body, invested with the power to determine and prescribe better working safety regulations in order to maintain the health of the Workforce. An Experienced Workforce is a productive Workforce. Ave Omnissiah
    -[X] Outreach: Further infiltrate the schools, teach Sidonias new generation both the secrets of the Forgeworlds we left and to share their knowledge with other Mechanicus of Sidonia, sharing the gifts of the Omnissiah strengthens the Forgeworlds productivity. And a productive Forgeworld is practical praise to the Omnissiah!
    [X] Plan: Sect of Holy Lighting Inspiration
    -[X] Party Name: Sect of Holy Lighting Inspiration
    -[X] Party Represents: Chaff and Logi
    -[X] Coalition: Yes: Illuminated Mechanicus, Society of the Living Alloy, Holy Machine Faction, Cogs of Justice, Humanists
    -[X] No: Seekers of the Omnissiah
    -[X] 1: Start working on catalogs that will cover basic rituals all should know.
    -[X] 2: Build a full Shrine/Research temple for the Holy Pandora machine so we can worship and study this Holy Machine.
    -[X] 3: Limit the War effort to the proper regulations of Mechanicus War.
    -[X] 4: Form forts around the forest where Drens are to prepare for a purge of the Xenos
    -[X] 5: Tall Orbital towers should be built to allow the movement off the Forgeworld to send out holy machines of war.
    -[X] Outreach: Start Preparing and Drilling the lower class for the coming war, and the rituals needed for that war.
    -[X] Ideology: Humanity has lost much, we must show what they have lost. The connection to the Motive Force must be restored.
    [X] Plan: All Skitarii Party
    -[X] Party Name: Warriors of the Machine God
    -[X] Party represents: Chaff (Skitarii), martial priests of all stripes (Auxilia Myrmidon, Electro-Priests, etc.)
    -[X] Coalition: Yes, whatever advances the cause of a strenghtened military and a representation of the interests of the military, No: The Steel Cult
    -[X] 1. Expand the Skitarii, creating stations where Menials are tested and the greatest of them are allowed the honour of being admitted into the Legions, giving them the chance to further rise in stations to true tech priests should they prove their suitability through service.
    -[X] 2. Develop the military application of Saturnite, creating improvements to the blades and armours of our Skitarii with them
    -[X] 3. Investigate the use of Burning witch root in our forces. With the capacity to feel pain removed it will simply improve the flesh
    -[X] 4. Create a shipyard to build and supply a fleet to defend our world and provide naval strength when fighting away from home
    -[X] 5. Expand our Merchant Marine, serving both as a good way to provide orbital lift and as basis for the logistical requirement of expeditionary forces
    -[X] Outreach: Create systems to integrate the newly christened Tech Priests of War into our political organisations, ensuring they are quickly able to earn political protection and serve as new blood in our Cadres
    -[X] Ideology: Representing many of the Skitarii and military minded Tech-Priests, the Warriors of the Machine God desire to strenghten Sidonias Legions and using them to the Forge-Worlds advantage. Many a favour can be gained by deploying these great Legions to our allies in the Imperium and the Warriors are determined to ensure these favours they are fighting for end up benefitting them too. In the pursuit of these goals they are generally uncaring about the philosophical divides of the Selanian parliament, letting themselves get courted by any side to best achieve their goals, with experienced Masters of War calculating the exact gains made by moving on the political stage just like they would when fighting their enemies. They view the Steel Cult as ideologes who care more about their squabbles with the Radicals than truly doing their best to advance the cause of the military. Additionally they are not interested in supplying imperial troops over mechanicus ones - the Skitarii are superior to the Imperial Guard after all
    [X] no (leave things as they are)

    -[X] 2: Lay the foundations for an increase in orbital lift with the construction of a transit station to handle cargo flow to and from orbit.
    -[X] 3: Commence construction of an orbital elevator.
    -[X] 4: Mandate the creation of a forge complex dedicated to the production of Electrostatic Gauntlets.
    -[X] 5: Construct a fortress-monastery upon the forest moon to house an order of warrior-monks so that they may test themselves within the forest.
    -[X] Outreach: Form the Viridian Order as a group of warrior-monks who fight unarmed and unarmoured, except for any implants they may possess.
    [X] The Enlightenment Plan
    -[X] The Lighthouse of Humanity
    -[X] party represents: Menials, low level Tech Adepts, Geneators
    -[X] coalition: yes: Luminen of the Forsaken Calculus, Glory of the Omnissiah, Sect of Holy Lighting No:
    -[X] Outreach- the party shall fund the creation of schools to teach menials who show both the proper dedication to the Omnisia and the lesser mysteries of the machine. Those who excel shall be risen to the priesthood while those who don't but pass the standards will take the tedious tasks that "waste" tech priests time
    [X] Plan: To the Beyond!
    -[X] Party Name: Sidonian Explorer's Party
    -[X] Party represents: Magi (Leads the Scout Parties), Genetors (Catalogue and Study Everything Encountered), Logi(Makes Sure the Expeditions Don't Run Out of Supplies), Chaff(Skitarii or Armed Servants of the Leading Explorers)
    -[X] Coalition: Yes. Generally anyone that's cool with exploring but the party has a radical bent and foundation so likes radical parties more because practically exiled into the fringes are where the unorthodox admech members go so they might as well go exploring.
    -[X] 1. Use the explosion of faith and energy to get more people to rapidly build enough factories that build ships and the infrastructure to maintain them to enable transit from the forge to the moon and other places in the system for future exploration missions.
    -[X] 2. Begin negotiations with the Drens for a lasting peace treaty. After which begin trading with the Drens after the tribes that we defeated have calmed down from fighting other tribes for their land to reduce unleashing a truly destabilizing event. We want more information about the world. Study their biology, especially their psykers. They get better stone age tools to limit the chance of the tribes closest to us getting too powerful.
    -[X] 3. Study the lava worms. Their biology, life cycle, environment etc. Do this with the immediate aim to figure out how to harvest their mineral excrete balls to immediately fuel our industries without having to go through the trouble of digging for them with long term plans to domesticate such creatures.
    -[X] 4. Create schools and academies that can take in aspiring genetors and logi from the chaff. Offer them a general education course with the usual specializations we have access to but our real reason is so that we can test and pick out the best of the interested recruits to educate them in proper exploring.
    -[X] 5. Build a set of space stations around our system that can keep watch and be good bases to launch expeditions from.
    -[X] Outreach: Establish local explorer's clubs and associations all over Sidonian population centers and have them do some local exploring. Membership is open to all members of the electorate.
    -[X] Ideology: A splinter group from the Seeker's of the Omnissiah that wishes for a more exploratory emphasis on the radical nature of their platforms. Currently this manifests as exploring Sidonia and building the infrastructure that will help accomplish that.
    [X] Plan: Total Mobilization
    -[X] Party Name: The Steel Cult
    -[X] Party Represents: The Logi, The Artisans, The Chaff
    -[X] Coalition: Yes: Illuminated Mechanicus, Cogs of Justice, Sect of Holy Lighting Inspiration, Luminen of the Forsaken Calculus.
    -[X] 1: Construct a great manufactorum complex to kickstart war equipment production, emphasize the defensive capabilities of such buildings. Focus on quick mass production of conventional weapons and armor first such as las weaponry, flame weapons and plasteel armor while creating specialized assembly lines for more complex and slower to produce equipment second. With the discovery of the wonder material named Saturnite quickly jumpstart a blades and bayonets production line.
    -[X] 2: Fortify existing vital factories, mining and refining plants, hab-blocks and agri-domes. Do this by constructing fortifications, war infrastructure for the quick movement of emergency resources and personnel and increasing security forces to prevent acts of sabotage or wrecking.
    -[X] 3: Have trusted Artisans in our weapon design bureau explore Saturnite uses in both armor and ammunition production. Have them also collaborate with the Society of the Living Alloy most capable Genetors to explore the viability of using the newly discovered "Redbark tree sap" as a viable mass produced weapon.
    -[X] 4: Construct several promethium refinery plants.
    -[X] 5: Plan the construction of the first Sidonian Plasma Reactor.
    -[X] Outreach: Expand the Steel Cult influence among the ranks of the military. Utilize propaganda and fiery sermons denouncing its inaction and mercenary nature to sway its memebers while ephasizing the near xeno menace and the Steel Cult uncompromising stance. Start first with the the more warlike or orthodox members and then proceed to the rest.
    - [X] 4: Now that we have a massive source of psykers let us use it. Projects will be started to research new technology discover lost archeotech that can utilize these abilities
    - [X] 5: massive deregulation of tech heresy and xenotech of all kinds and begin work on discovering and utilizing them
    - [X] Outreach: Infiltrate the organs of the mechanicus that the menials and chaff will interact with most and have the best relations with and stack them with as many ultra radicals as we can get

Also the second part of the plan regarding actually integrating the tribes into the Mechanicus is also very illegal. Like they know that vast majority of civilians in the Imperium or Mechanicus are extremely xenophobic right? There has to be some blow back from even suggesting this sort of thing openly.

They're not going to be nice and give us a heads up that they going to scourge the planet. If they decide that we committed too much heresy, then they're going to make sure that we can't run before a surprise exterminatus fleet shows up right at our doorstep.

What do you mean by heads up?

Like an exterminatus weapon isnt something you carry around in a briefcase. We would see the ship coming, and have opportunity to shoot at it. Like we are going to notice a warship flying into the system. You dont really just randomly roll up on a planet and wipe it off the face of the galaxy. Some rando would be bringing a warship to our planet, and we would be very curious about who they are and what they are doing.

They would also need to actually investigate to determine that exterminatus-worthy heresy is taking place. Different inquisitors are equipped to study different things. If a maleus inquisitor shows up, they arent going to be equipped to identifying xenos heresy, or techno heresy.

We are a colony at the ass-end of nowhere. We dont get ships just casually rolling up on our doorstep to drop people off allowing an inquisitor to just slide on in. People come here specifically to visit us, and we would probably want to know why, and unless we are a threat to the Imperium, which we would never become, why waste an exterminatus weapon on us?

Those are for stuff thats an actual threat to the Imperium. We are not and never will become said threat. You drop that shit on Chaos incursions or Tyranid invasions.

Not tech priests with a disdain for orthodoxy. If you really took objection to that you could call Mars and they would probably want to send a fact finding mission, and they would likely just try to take over before resorting to exterminatus. What, do you think that young inexperienced Tech Priests didnt get too curious about Eldar guns before? Or that a Colony never took the opportunity of being in the ass end of space to say "Fuck the rules!"?

There is a whole *list* of reasons why fearing an exterminatus just for bucking the Mars orthodox line is a waste of our time.
 
Exterminati are a weapon of absolute last resort. The Imperium would usually prefer losing a world to most enemies because they can just retake it later instead of permanently rendering it uninhabitable

Also if the imperium nuke a forge world, they better have an iron tight case if they don't want Mars to complain.

I expect they'll make demands of us at some point, rather than blowing us up out of the blue.
