Looking at it, it will cost us 1 less Food, but we'll get 1 less Heavy Industry and 2 less Heavy Mechanized Units. So we would actually get less from backstabbing them from how things are looking.

Still more AP efficient, I just want to be certain what completing it will imply.
Since I'm inclined to do it anyway because I don't want to unleash a pirate crew that might get traced back to us, but if we do this and then they go "And now let's kill the Imperium!" We'll have Problems.

The first, and the people want to take revenge on the Imperium...by making one dope-ass planet.
They bypass the Rokks shield by dropping in to board and nuke the ever-loving Warp out of its generators, shields, and anything worth nuking, leaving it open to an attack by you. As long as the Drilla-Kroozer doesn't throw a wrench in your attack...Alectai said:

Demolitions will work and be useful. Like all units will, as you are fighting in a multi-cube-kilometer volume of Ork Rok.
And BTB has no downside if only one Action is done this Turn, and the final one the next.

Oh going to need to update my plan if the Lamenters already have a ride. Hmm what to pick though another Choir or maybe engineers

This commits another AP next turn to getting Corcrat integrated, which also commits us to Medical Infrastructure to avoid getting too fucked there, but this should clear out our current docket, and if the Star-Child is willing, get us a bonus AP thanks to winning our first battle against an entrenched enemy.
The confirmation that Betray the Betrayers isn't actually going to commit us to doing Violence on the Imperium on the spot means it wins out, I think. Sun + Fire should also make our Psykana forces capable of some pretty hefty room-clearing abilities too.

Personally I feel a second heavy demo is better than a medium assault but it's not that big a deal
[X] Plan: Sing me a song of a Rokk that is gone
-[X] [Psykana] Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
--[X]Protection I, Fire I, The Sun I.

Logistics matters, and our logistics is still a bit bottlenecked, a Heavy Demo group to smash things open, an Engineering unit to hold ground, and an Assault Force to exploit is a good setup, and with the Choir committed to participate as well, they'll have magical support. Couple that with the Lamenters participating, and we should get good results.
Anyway, I feel Protection in that Song is a bit of a stretch. We'd want Justice I think as the connecting tissue in that event--but it should get us Holy Smite, which would be extremely useful.

This plan abandons staying the course fyi
Actually, it doesn't really in the long run since we'd be losing out on 1 Heavy Industry and 1 Civilian Infrastructure if we backstab them, which functionally makes it the same AP wise either way, except going through with their deal would give us 2 more Heavy Mechanized Units so the deal would be more efficient.
Fix'd, Thanks for the note.
Meant to replace Betraying the betrayers.
Good action, but more Psykana Oomph is more important in this moment, imho.

I'd give this plan a more distinctive name personally, it's easy to mix up. I'd propose
[X] Plan: Sing me a song of a Rokk that is gone
But I'll vote for it either way
[X] Plan: I have had enough of these damned Orks in my damned system! Burn them!
Something is going to go sideways on this assault and I'd much rather have some more literal firepower on hand when it does.

I repeat. Adding Protection in that feels Really Stretching it.
I can't see how that comes together, and going "Protection says it identifies what needs to be protected = Eye Lasers" feels like some insane troll logic unless I'm missing a step here.

Next turn we could do one each on Staying the Course, finishing Betraying the Betrayers, and Medical Infrastructure to keep it from going below Nulla?
Alectai
Speaks Words of Wisdom... On occasion
That's my current plan, with fingers crossed that taking the Mega Rokk gives us a bonus AP for being our first Hard Target taken down. Gets the new planet integrated, keeps our Medical Infrastructure from getting more strained than it is, and in the same move it neutralizes our Civilian Infrastructure and gets us another point of Void Infrastructure.
That sounds good. Honestly I'd really like to get nursery temples up and running and maybe nail down the demos uplift thing soon ish (as soon as we've got infrastructure and such)
Suggestion taken.
Protection includes knowing "when to strike, when to advanced, when to force yourself forward".
I Interpret that as striking at the danger fitting under protection. Plus the choir would be with troops it protects by burning the fuckers down.

That's still a Tremendous stretch.
@HeroCooky , could we get a vibe check on this by any chance? Because this really feels like a stretch to me.
[X] Plan: I have had enough of these damned Orks in my damned system!
Agreed on the request for vibe Check.
@HeroCooky
Can Protection make sense in a fighting song (with sun and fire) when the fighting is to protect the general population and the choirs are supporting other troops?

I feel like this song is more going to have fire protect and buff (cause sun) our dudes rather than it attacking maybe even if our on fire guys hug the greenskins.
