Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Means of Production

Means of Production is one of the Voshkod's support powers.

Overview
"Seize the means of production!"

-Graffitis across many Guardian factories.

Despite what ACIN would have the people of the Alliance believe, the Voshkod is far from being totally inept at espionage in the field; quite the opposite, in fact. Where ACIN agents have accidentally acquired a reputation for flash, dash, and a pinch of cash, Voshkod operatives are generally much better at keeping themselves beneath notice.

Infiltrating Guardian factories and warehouses behind the lines, these KGB and GRU agents are able to disguise their actions through their work ethic, Aquilan supervisors are unable to distinguish the genuine infiltrators from the workers who are just doing their best to aid production. This allows the Voshkod agents to make minor "adjustments" to the facilities they are in. Small levers are tampered with. Gears stripped to near-uselessness. Mostly, these are just seen as incidents of simple wear and tear. However, if machined and worn right, these acts can compound into a near-catastrophic effect on field factory units.

When ordered, these infiltrators can destroy enemy facilities almost utterly, funneling supplies to their comrades across the lines, providing more material for the Voshkod war effort. Coupled with a notice that the enemies were trying to top their production skills, and the Voshkod workers behind the lines almost become superhuman in their efforts to prove that the Union's workers are the best in the world. This has the effect of almost making Voshkod production times drop to nothing while forcing enemy commanders to contend with a decrease in production facilities.
