How about a disease passed off as a heavenly curse? Drag as many groups in in as many ways as possible.

[jaass]

No, you should have the disease have a long incubation period for about 2 years. This should give us enough time to weaken other political and military opponents giving us enough maneuvering room to make a new religion under the guise of a cure from our God.

[sjm9876]

But we want destruction, not control. The influence this would give would be much easier to obtain by direct governmental sabotage.

*has another idea*
Shortly after the 'knights' kill that high priest, there will inevitably be some sort of mass congregation where the other priests call the plebs to tell them about it and incite revenge. There will inevitably be talks of God's vengeance striking down the evil or some variation on that theme.
That's where we come in. A team of disguised, dialect-learned agents with comms. Gear can attend anything that seems like a mass uprising/congregation, and listen out for anything on the 'god is angry' theme, and call in a laser blast from above in the distance immediately after. This 'sign' should fanaticise the mobs even more than usual. Anarchy will ensue.

[sjm9876]

ideally point the laser blast at a relevant target. But yes. very good idea.

Watching.

Let's place a team of sabotage agents in Hargo with comm gear, noble disguises, dialect, and the people's support, with orders to incite a war against The Dark Plains (They're otherwise occupied, this is the perfect time to strike!).

Then spend 25,000 creating a Black Plague-esque disease.

No, send the agents to the Dark Plains and incite them to war with Hargo.
We want the populace of Hargo to be busy revolting, not united with the nobles against a common foe.
EDIT - Actually, using that logic, it might be better to not incite the war at all... So I'd say veto that plan (for now) but keep the Black-Plague-esque disease research. A plague could finally tip this over the brink

[sjm9876]

good point. We need to release the plaque at exactly the right time to get it to work for us, rather than against.

Apothecary Narloth's Report:

Spoiler: Report (click to show/hide)

We have begun our research on the Virus you have specified by masters. It will take us at most two years, but it can be sped up with more funding. Our tests have shown that, while lethal, it does not spread fast enough before the patient dies. We need to abduct test subjects from Planatia's local populace to test it on their genome. All humans from different planets are slightly different.                     -Narloth out.

Kommandant Saboteur Tellion's Report:

Spoiler: Report (click to show/hide)

I have chosen and outfitted my most skilled saboteurs. We have split up into teams, one to incite war in The Dark Plains, the other to kill the high priest. The war has been started in The Dark Plains, due to a few assassinations by Hargo... We haven't killed the priest yet. Narloth has told me of the plague under way, so we are waiting for that to be spread. Once it is spread, the High Priest shall die, and the "Slaughtergod's fury" shall come underway.

Weaponseer Karghath: "My lieges, let me introduce you to the weapons armory. The SS Essess is outfitted with the most high tech lasers and bombs in the galaxy! Please, choose which one you shall use to fire when the Plague arrives:

• Big Badda Boom Laser (capable of leveling towns or small cities. 10,000 Resources/ Shot)
• Bigger Badda Boom Laser (capable of reducing multiple cities or small countries to ashes. 20,000 Resources/Shot)
• Blast Bomb (equivalent to a small nuclear bomb. 5,000 Resources/ Bombing run)
• Refuse eject (for the poorest of cheapskates, throws all of the trash in the ship towards a single area. Minimal damage, inaccurate. 5,000 Resources/ Shot)

 "Of course, you may choose more than one, and they need not be fired all at once..."

[TopHat]

Up the plague funding by about 100k resources. Also send three four conscript teams down to some inconsequentially small village in the middle of nowhere, to kidnap everyone (and I mean everyone, we must leave no witnesses) in it for testing, with a maintinance team coming in afterwards to remove all traces of the raid, just in case some trader or whatever stops by.
Once the time is right, the plague has been unleashed, and the priest has been assassinated, Four Blast Bombs will be ready to fire at the signals from the four agents at the religious gatherings, to be fired just off in the distance (and preferably on top of lords' estates).
Oh, and make sure that the plague can be fairly easily modified to infect other groups of humans.
JUST FOR FUN: (only do if multiple others vote for it)

Get the manufactory going, hire workers to produce commemorative 'Planetia' medallions;
8 in gold, for the council;
Enough in silver for every staff member who went down on the planet's surface;
And enough in bronze for every other member of the organisation
Because I couldn't think of anything else to do with the manufactory.

[sjm9876]

I'd say big laser rather than blast bomb - more of a from heaven effect.
For removing all trace we could just make everyone dissapear. Add to gods wrath.

The laser might be too destructive, though.... Nah. No such thing. BBBLaser it is.
And we are making everybody in the village disappear. The removal of evidence afterwoulds would, as well as making us pretty undetectable, also add to the 'God's wrath' theme - they disappear without a trace of the kidnapping.

[sjm9876]

Ah, sorry, for some reason thought you meant attempting to hide the kidnappings. now realise that kinda isn't feasible anyway. *facepalm*

[TopHat]

No, don't be silly. Convincing someone that their relatives never existed is totally feasible.
(we have to try that some time)
Anyway, perhaps we should have our team of agents in The Dark Plains (keep the charade going, naturally) incite war with The Sunken Continent. As history has shown, fighting a war on three fronts has never worked.
