A few assorted questions and suggestions:
a) what sort of things could we make if we restart the manufactory? Local clothes? Weapons? Also an idea - set up the plant, and have a team of agents distribute some of the produce to the local poor. This would have the advantage of making the locals more friendly to the aforementioned team of agents (should prove cheaper than the 'people's support' type of advertising), at the obvious risk of increased publicity. (and probably suspicious individuals)
b) how much do we know about local religions? Are the churches (if any) powerful? If so, it might be worth devoting some teams to learn about them.
c) (a suggestion) how about sending a team of disguised agents with local weaponry (who've learnt the local language) to go to Hargo and try to learn about who any key figures in putting down the rebellions are. Next turn (or possibly in this one if they find out early), they could attempt to murder them, and frame the rebels. The side effects could include:
- an increased fear of the rebels amongst the upper classes
- increased support for the rebels among the peasents as they appear to be more powerful and capable (even better if the people near the top of the feudal pyramid attempt reprisals)
- increased rebel effectiveness due to less organised resistance
- all of which will intensify the on-going conflict

I feel like we should use the food shortages we shall be causing as a way to increase the rebellions and foster strife between the countries. Possibly by manipulating food distribution.

Take the manfucatory. Have the strike teams persuade the rebels to attack.

Actually I wont play here, as well I posted here after very picky reading of rules so without noticing that its multi character game. Sorry for messing up.

You know, under the current rules, it is rather pointless to actually destroy planets. A much more viable thing to do would be to spread constant lies, misinformation and embellishment about the current state of affairs, so more people will flock to us and current people will be paying us fees while waiting for their turn (which will never come). We've got five planets subscribed? Let's instead say we've got five hundred. We destroyed zero planets? Let's say we destroyed fifty instead. Someone became distrustful and decided to check up on us? Tell them we're so good at destroying planets that we wipe them from history.

... Remind me to never sign a business deal with you.

huh
i find this rather apt, if the complete opposite.

 Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I couldn't connect to the wifi.

 Anyways, answering questions: 1. Anything you can make in a factory, really. You can make clothes or something of the sort to help disguise your actual mission.                     
                                                    2. There are a few churches scattered here and there. You can send agents to infiltrate them. Remember, religion is very powerful and influential in feudal countries.
                                                    3. When I meant destroy, I didn't mean "blow up" or burn everything, although they're perfectly allowed. I just meant to make conditions so bad that no-one would, or could move there. Basically something like making the economy extremely unstable or make the ecosystem completely infertile.

 Anyways, I'll post the action post soon.

*has idea*
How about we send some 'knights' under the order of a local noble to kill/imprison a local religious leader. The result should end up with either a lynched noble, or mobs with torches and pitchforks

 Turn 2: 3,200 (Manufactory + Upgrades) 1,043,800 Resources Left

 Saboteur Julliah's Report:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We have secured the Manufactory, my lords. We managed to get all the equipment and upgrades here safely. We had to kidnap five trespassers who got to close. They are in a makeshift torture chamber, making sure they don't remember. They have been sent back to their towns. We have also found a church called the Church of the Slaughterer. They are a powerful organisation, with influence in all of the countries. They have been known to perform human sacrifice, if someone has angered their clergy. I shall report next quarter, my lieges.                                       -Julliah out.

 Enginseer Orthax's Report:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We have set of the thermal bombs at the ice caps. The seas are now overflowing with water. The waves have swallowed some tribesmen hunting for whales. We've got reports from the spies in the other areas that the water has managed to destroy most of the farms, along with multiple "collateral damages".

 Their economy has been weakened! Our saboteurs have armed the Deep Strikers with better weaponry, in exchange for their services. The saboteurs, along with the Deep Strikers' best assassins, have murdered  multiple key nobles fighting against the rebels. The rebel factions have teamed up with the Deep Strikers, bolstering their ranks. The common populace is rising and enthusiastic, while the higher nobles are slowly packing their things and preparing to flee! Soon, this world will be engulfed in war and anarchy!

 Sir, I've just received your transmission. I've sent for several "knights" to plan and assassinate a local Slaughterpriest. They will be done by the next quarter.                                                                                  -Orthax out.

We need to persuade the church of slaughter to split and one half go with each side. the longer we keep the war going without a winner, the more harm it'll cause.

The next group of agents and Garvon/Dark Plains war

[Nirur Torir]

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.
