I'm a bit torn on them- I had interpreted their philosophy as destroying traces of their past as a way of separating themselves from it and starting new, though 'traces of their past' would probably encompass the entire planet, wouldn't it? 

In either case, they'll be hostile towards the other nations, especially the Tribunal, who want to study the very things that the Cult wants to get rid of for one reason or another.

And yet they have members on the Tribunal. That was sort of my whole point.
