The so-called Conversion Missions are one of the staple operations of the Church. Once they hear a rumour of a community whose level of faith is unsatisfactory, they get to work. First, they send out Gunships to pinpoint the offenders and subdue any resistance. Once this phase is completed, Shrine Ships appear to perform the usual shock and awe faith-strengthening procedure. In this latter phase, the Church is more vulnerable to our attacks. On the other hand, successful Conversions lower people's belief in things like Pirates, which is not good.
