Sirius Theocracy
The Lord has always provided, the Lord has brought us from the malice and destruction of Old
Earth, and the Lord will bring us into a better future and this new world of His, before our lost
Eden is once more restored to us. And when we return, we will rule it in His name.
The roots of what is known today as the Sirius Theocracy stem from the southern part of the former United States of
America and northern territories of Mexico. Bound together by a mutual belief in a higher power watching over them,
the Sirians believe that their destiny life both with Gaia, their new world, and Earth, were they are planning to return
to rebuild and restore its former glory.
Although the Sirius Theocracy is unified by an idea of a benevolent deity being their creator and protector, perceiving
them as simple minded religious fanatics would be a grave mistake. Members of the Sirius Theocracy are known as
true masters of politics: they are cunning and deceptive, often hiding their true agendas behind an image of zealots
driven solely by religious beliefs.
The immutability often associated with any societies bound by religious belief has never stopped the Sirians from
committing to scientific research, allowing them to not only be the first to master human cloning, but to spearhead
any new research in this field and become the only faction able to construct cloning factories not only on their home
planet, but also on any world they decide to incorporate.
The leaders of Sirius Theocracy know that their power lies in their ability to exert political influence, so they are more
eager to choose diplomatic solutions over open warfare. However, they do not shy away from armed conflicts when
peaceful options are exhausted or when openly provoked. Although not as skillful in combat as in politics, they are
still a formidable force one should never disregard.
