The people of the Ecclesia are religious fanatics dedicated to finding, preserving and harnessing the power of these holy stellar bodies. Solites, as they like to be called, will stop at nothing and sacrifice anything to colonize more stars and harness their power. Structure: The Ecclesia is a religious oligarchy, ultimately governed by a high council of solar preist. Their word is passed down to regional governors and from them to local church leaders. The word of these leaders is the law and any deviation from the word of the local or regional ecclesiarch is harshly punished. Beliefs: For true believers of the solar truth, they believe that everything and everyone is descended from the stars. Stars are living gods and their incandescent glow is a sign of their eternal love and warmth. Of course, not every citizen subscribes to the extreme religious views of the true believers. These citizens still hold the sun as an important entity but subscribe to a number of theories regarding the founding of the human species and the galaxy as a whole. A majority of solites have a deep disdsain, bordering on hate, for mutants and aliens alike. They see these other species as either being, devoid of “solar influence” or regard them as mutants. Technology: - Being a former dominion colony, the Ecclesia has older dominion tech and weapons and military that they have maintained and retrofitted throughout the centuries. - Localized and large-scale fusion power: As a solar cult, obsessed with the power of stars, harnessing the powers of fusion for energy was a priority - Gravitic weapons: Harnessing the gravity of stars was also an important milestone for the Ecclesia, these weapons fire a localized orb at high speeds, that has the capability crushing anything it hits under its own weight by drastically increasing the gravity well around the fired orb. - Plasma weaponry: pretty straight forward, localized electrically charged gas fired at high speeds and able to burn through things - Electrical projectile acceleration: Having almost limitless electrical power at their disposal, this was the next logical step for projectile acceleration. This surpasses the standard explosive chemical acceleration and allows for increased acceleration speeds - Advanced heat and radiation shielding: Being near a star, has forced the Solites to adapt their buildings, habitats and other tech to be extremely heat and radiation resistant Demographics: 100% human ( Adapted to high heat and radiation enviroments) Other: - Solites are adapted to high heat and radiation environments - As a said earlier, the people of the ecclesica are very xenophobic and don’t like mutants, this is seen as lack of stellar love and a weakness of faith as everyone should be resistant to the love and warmth of stellar bodies, aka radiation.
