Well, shuckaroonies if it isn't — I'd like for it to be so (it reads legal RAW for me since Mechandrite adds 50% progress and then we can use a half action from Cry to fulfill it, but Cooky's nixed stuff before so eh) — your plan if that's the case works well enough for me.
I'd like to check with @HeroCooky if it is legal, though.
[X] Plan: Faith, Steel Subversion and gunpowder Integration

Their mission is to prepare ground for the inevitable conflict with the Holy Diaconate, buy time for the Coalition and to support their war effort, and if possible, save as many souls as possible. Their primary mission is to remain undetected and gather intelligence as much as possible to gain a full dossier on the Holy Diaconate (and as much actionable intelligence that can be shared with the Coalition) -- everything else comes after this, and if the following actions are impossible or unwise in light of this, do not do them. Afterwards, prepare to sabotage the Diaconate's war effort, assassinate non-turnable leaders (and turn those who we can), and even steal research if at all possible [Extreme Stretch Goal]. Finally, try to find native recruits, foil the plans of Chaos, and seed Star Child Cults if at all possible -- it has been many centuries since the conflict with Neon, but after fracturing, nearly all of their systems turned to Chaos within the decade -- with a power of the Diaconate's size, this cannot be afforded.

You could always post it with the "And if this isn't valid do this other plan instead" thing.

Hey @HeroCooky a while ago we made rehab places for chaos cultists. How are those working so far?

I'm with Neablis on this one.
Mixed. If people are beyond a point (typically Outer Inner Circle), then they just won't stop trying.

Well, that sucks. Oh well!
[X] Plan: Faith,
That being said, if you're planning to go hard on Integration Focus, @Neablis, what're your thoughts for exchanging one of those Integrate options with this:
It helps spool up our planetary exploitation quite a bit earlier:
Which is useful when trying to integrate with the Shipwrights:
Edit: Also we've got 55 of those choirs on No Evil doing basically nothing right now, wouldn't be a bad idea to toss them into Diaconate Espionage I think.

@HeroCooky Does doing the Military Aid diplomacy action commit the Federation's military to helping the Coalition defend themselves or is it just an increase in shipment of arms and supplies?
HeroCooky
Unverified Monstergirl
Very much the latter.
@Neablis
could you change your plan to swap out one of the integration actions for doing the military aid to the Coalition?
That action is a General action so it won't make a difference in the additional action. Plus we are kind of relying on the Coalition keeping the fanatics occupied for the next few turns so we can finish digesting our Cult war conquests.
If we aren't taking the Faith action to boost them we should take the General action to boost them. The update more or less blatantly called out that they need more support if we expect them to hold.

Since I gotta go to sleep soon, here's my modification to @Neablis' plan
The new Faith option pretty blatantly calls out that the Coalition needs more support if we expect them to hold against increased pressure from the Diaconate. So this plan gives them said material support.

There was a blight on Harsun's Grove.
Witchhunter Wasser could smell it.
It was in the way the blood of the underworld's pests pumped.
It was in the way the dredges of society ceased to swarm and clog the streets and workhouses for their betters.
It was in the way that people...vanished. Not by blessed acts and sanctioned conversion to ensure their bodies will labor in His Name...no.
It was in the way that all blights were; devious, rooted, and insidious.
He stared at the image of the planet with one eye of organic hate and one of blessed machinery, its secrets wrenched from the heretics of the Mechanicus before turned over to the good of His Most Blessed Followers.
He knew not why the world, liberated from the grasp of bleakest apostasy generations past, had drawn his attention.
But he knew...there was a blight here.
Deep.
Hidden.
Waiting.
For what, he could not know...for now.
But he would. There were 2.7 billion souls on this world alone. Dozens of times that in the system entire.
He would rather be damned than let it fall and rip all these souls of His Nation into Ruin.
Be it the Witch, the Xenos, the Heretic, or the Mutant...he would not let them sunder apart the peace they had bought this world with blood and soul.
That was his duty; that was his oath.

[-] [General] Integrate The New Territories (9/17)
A lot of work is in front of us. Many of these systems, and even Sub-Sectors, are in dire need of...everything. People, food, medicine, protection against Chaos, and more mundane threats. Everything needs to be built, and everything needs to be done. Thankfully, the Federation is overflowing with billions of people willing to volunteer to raise these new homes for new citizens to the heights they deserve.
(Gain: 1 Sub-Sector per Action put in is raised to Federation Standards.)
[] [General] Colonize (Sub-Sector)
It is time to bring more worlds into the fold. Thanks to the Irrita becoming our Kin, we will not lose any Development when colonizing worlds that are less than habitable due to them being terraformed into habitable worlds.
(Gain: One Colonized Sub-Sector.
Warning: Already occupied systems are not colonized.
Habitable Sub-Sectors: Chery (1/9 Systems), Gutson (11/11 Systems), Long Tower (4/9 Systems), Broken Tower (17/19 Systems), Yearning Tower(16/16 Systems), Palace of Stars (4/26 Systems).)

[] [General] Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication
A new age of peace dawns on the Glimmering Federation, and with it rises the required needs of its various branches and plans to come to fruition, from subverting hostile polities to maintaining friendly relations with good neighbors. Thanks to an expansion in resources, the Ministry of SIIC can now focus on multiple things simultaneously.
[] [Military] Create Six Grand Armies (Write-in Names) for (Sub-Sectors) or 7 Knight Orders (Write-in Names)
Grand Armies are composed of 2 SAGs per Sub-Sector System, which are composed of 4 Units each. Though each SAG will have its own Battle Standard and Motto, only those existing will be recorded in detail. A Grand Army requires you to specify each SAG as either Light, Medium, or Heavy, with the further moniker of Infantry/Mechanized/Tanks/Augmetic Legions Formations attached. All other specializations will be taken care of within the Grand Army itself. A Knight Order contains 20 War-Packs, one War-Pack consisting of One Questoris per Four Armigers, of variable Patterns.
(Gain: Six Grand Armies or Seven Knight Orders.)
[] [Military] Fleet Construction - (2.800 Points per Action)
-[] 5x Nomadic Fleets [Automatic] (0.6/1)
Chose Names for Fleets: Triumph of Obliteration, Unfettered Zeal, Pathfinding Maw, Causal Wound, Tombmaker.

From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)
[] [Military] Construct God-Engines (50x Grandis (0/1), 30x Modeste Immensus (0/2), 10x Immensa Immensus (0/2), 5x Magnificus (0/3), 2x Momentus (0/4), 1x Deus Machina (0/5))

Hippity Hoppity has revealed to us a site where technology, rites, knowledge, or culture of the Ancients yet remain...if not how intact. It is far away from our borders, and thus the fleet sent there to uncover the truth must be guarded.
(Gain: One plundered Ancient Site.)
[] [Military] Begin Military Operations (Assign SAG/s) (Choose Location/s) (Designate Objective/s)
There is war to be had and battle to be made. Send troops to resolve issues, squash opposition to the Star Child and Humanity and all Their Protectorates, and send ships to scout neighboring systems to understand what is happening there.
(Gain: Military dispatched to put down opposition violently. Scouts are sent to look at other systems.
Scouting Range: ~10 Sub-Sectors from Claimed Sub-Sectors. Scouting Efficiency: N/A (80% Three+ Sub-Sectors, 50% Five+ Sub-Sectors, 35% Nine+ Sub-Sectors.)
Note: For use outside your territory or in support of forces specified within another Action.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Six Melodies (0.6/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.
(Total: 22
Uncovered: Revenant and Prophecy III.
Secret: Slumber.
Star Child: Mercy III, Ruthlessness III, and Brutality II.
Kil'drabi: Paths III, Community II, and Family II.

Dirut: Time II, Sunset I, Dawn I, and Peace I.
Gain: Two Songs.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Symphony (Choose Five Songs)
Words beyond meaning, songs beyond uttering, a hum of power that is the Warp reveling in its own power unleashed. A Symphony crafted from labor centuries long, and one that shall burn itself into history eternal, both mortal and Immaterial.
(Gain: A Symphony)
[] [Faith] An Invitation To Preach (For Material Gain)
The Coalition has, after not-so-intense-yet-swift internal deliberation, chosen to extend an offer to the Glimmering Federation; that of allowing our preachers to carry with them the word of the Star Child to their people...for the lending of more war materials. Absolutely a result of the current intensification of their war of survival against the Diaconate, as the same has begun sending actual fleets at the Coalition instead of scouting in force. Thankfully, the fleets we sent them, alongside the trainers and time since, has allowed the Coalition to stand against the Diaconate...for now.
(Gain: Sanctioned Star Child Cults within the Emergency Coalition of the Triumvirates)
[] [Faith] An Unborn Guide Sought Out (Write-In)
...
(Gain: Guidance on how to deal with or gain something.)
[] [Knightly Orders] Prepare For The Diaconate (0/2)
Take Three. Let's see what our spies can drag up, and what horrors we will make them remember once justice' hands bear the cleansing blade.
(Gain: All Knightly Orders will be far more effective against the Diaconate.)
[] [Chapter] Brothers For The Barge (7/?)
They must be ready for battle and barge.
(Gain: The Lamenters gain 8 Companies per Turn.)
[] [Other] Take Care Of [Future Or Current Problems]
(Write-In the problem being addressed.)
AN: Only 49 Updates remain. If you want to see what building a Dreadnought entails, I'd recommend carving up some Actions for Void Dev to XX in the near future.

(Gain: One Colonized Sub-Sector.
Warning: Already occupied systems are not colonized.
Habitable Sub-Sectors: Chery (1/9 Systems), Gutson (11/11 Systems), Long Tower (4/9 Systems), Broken Tower (17/19 Systems), Yearning Tower(16/16 Systems), Palace of Stars (4/26 Systems).)

Carved into reality itself, born from song and melody, humm and symphony.
(Gain: Sigils.)
-[] Hexagrammic Grammophone (0/5)
An...idea, a mad one, created by some of the Msk'fa who were powerful enough to join the Celestial Choir, and who had the fortune to be well-versed in their people's history. The Hexagrammic Grammophone has one job, and it is projected to be able to achieve it: Sing on its own with pre-recorded Melodies. That ability...it is to vast to speculate about.
-[] Anti-Psychic Materials (0/7)
There are some materials that, for one reason or another, seem to repell psychic phenomena and works, which, in the right hands, could prove to be a boon in our anti-daemon efforts.
(Gain: Anti-Psychic Materials collected and understood.)
-[] Psykana-Repelling Persons (0/4)
Though they are rare, some people seem to not merely be uncomfortable to be around but possess an...anti-soul if one would say something so base. Yet, while normal people find them unpleasant, our Hymnals would rather run away or self-harm themselves than be in their presence. This...could be useful.
(Gain: Anti-Souls?)
-[] Arcanum Psyker Staves (1/9)
The ability to create psychic focii is no longer a mere beginner's art within the Glimmering Federation, and with knowledge and familiarity comes the ability to strive further than yesterday. With The Sun Melody having become a measuring stick upon which one can see progress, it is estimated that further refinement will be capable of reducing the damages incurred into "mere" full-body second-degree burns.
(Gain: Improves Choir efficiency and might when using Songs and Melodies.)
-[] Arcanum Psychic Hoods (0/9)
Thanks to the work done in figuring out how to psychically tune and shape cloth and metals to weave together into one whole, a "Psychic Hood" for the layperson, the Celestial Choir is eager to not only begin large-scale dissemination of knowledge and practice but also delve deeper into their understanding of how they function and can be improved.
(Gain: Improved Psychic Hoods are equipment that shields your Psykers from backlash to varying degrees.)
-[] Choir's Tangle (0/6)
The Choir's Tangle is a system of Psykana married with Technology capable of providing minor guidance to the Federation's Choirs singing Bound To The Stars, thus speeding up their traveling speed.
(Gain: Improved speed between Federation Systems. It requires a choir to operate and will automatically apply the necessary numbers.)
-[] Discordant Shriek (0/11)
Utilizing the same underlying principles as the Choir's Tangle, the Discordant Shriek is a series of five installations that will be put in a perfect orbit around the local star in predetermined patterns, each housing one part of a Choir, that will, when enemy ships approach the system, activate and try to disrupt and rip the approaching vessels out of the Warp at best and seek to damage and delay them at worst.
(Gain: A means to inflict damage to approaching Fleets. It requires a choir to operate and will automatically apply the necessary numbers.)
-[] Applied Anti-Warp Corruption Sigils - (0/15)
Anti-Warp Sigils of potent etching, carved into the leather born from the willing, carved by hands that shiver in cold and burning pain, wrought into reality itself with the blood of ichor dripping from violated souls carrying out their creation. Shield these places, guard these items, know no rest and adhere to no master beyond this: hark against Thought and Cancer from the Deep Beneath Growth.
-[] Aethyrmetric - Null Thoughts (0/59)
It is one thing to debate with reality to alter a state. Another to order it to cease reality in totality.

[] [General] Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication
A new age of peace dawns on the Glimmering Federation, and with it rises the required needs of its various branches and plans to come to fruition, from subverting hostile polities to maintaining friendly relations with good neighbors. Thanks to an expansion in resources, the Ministry of SIIC can now focus on multiple things simultaneously.

[] Cross-Cultural Idea Harmonization (Choose Target)
Through centuries of trade and good relations, sworn friends on the battlefield, to sharing secrets of technology pried from the uncaring reality that wishes for our destruction. Two friends who know each other well and want to stand together, side by side, against the dark, but do not wish to lose what makes them unique, to become just another face within the crowd. For this union, preparations must be made to ensure that this tide lifts all involved.
(Selected Peer Nation exchanges a weaker copy of their Primary Trait with the Federation in exchange for their Primary Trait (Chaos Resistance).

[] Military Aid To The Coalition II
Well, we should at least help them defend themselves.
(Gain: Improved Relations with, and increased defenses of, the Coalition.)
[] A Soul Smeared
An exploration fleet of New Dawn has stumbled upon an ocean world in a system between the major Warp Lanes. Normally, it would be flagged foe colonization, however when the fleet drew closer to confirm some strange readings, the entire planet seemingly tried to shoot at the fleet via incredibly primitive weaponry. The problem is that, as the Choir with the fleet confirmed, there is only one soul on the entire planet, not enough to coordinate the attempted attack, even with the use of machinery (which would have been noticed). And that one is smeared across the entire planet. Someone should investigate that.
(Gain: ???)
[] ISC Access - (Shipwright's Grove)
The Federation's ISCs are eager to spread their markets and customer bases beyond the Glimmering Federation, willing to brave the (relatively safe and profitable) unknown.
(Gain: Disables one random ISC per Turn and significantly improves relations with the Lords of Eternity/Shipwright's Grove.)
[] [AUTOMATIC] Improve Relations (Choose Two)
Though tedious work, improving relations over time with steady hands instead of bold declarations and treaties will enable more of the latter to be wrought without any complications.
(Targets: Mashan Temple Authority, Van Zandt Free Duchy, and Shipwright's Grove.
Gain: Slowly improved relations.)

From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.

[] [Psykana] Conduct Six Melodies (0.6/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.

[] [Faith] An Invitation To Preach (For Material Gain)
The Coalition has, after not-so-intense-yet-swift internal deliberation, chosen to extend an offer to the Glimmering Federation; that of allowing our preachers to carry with them the word of the Star Child to their people...for the lending of more war materials. Absolutely a result of the current intensification of their war of survival against the Diaconate, as the same has begun sending actual fleets at the Coalition instead of scouting in force. Thankfully, the fleets we sent them, alongside the trainers and time since, has allowed the Coalition to stand against the Diaconate...for now.
