Beyond the Bridges of Light

[Seon]

Faction Name: VERTIGO
Faction Traits: Produced Citizens. Industry Control

System Claims: 24: Cora. Luxury, Administration: Beating core of what is left of the Vertigo Corporation. Old corporate headquarters are still staffed by bio-drones or cloned personnel, although no actual administrative businesses actually occur anymore in the mostly-abandoned buildings. Instead, the true 'capital' of the VERTIGO systems are now located within the server banks scattered around the highly developed (and suspiciously empty) streets of Cora.
26: New Vanderblight: Minerals, Industry
31: Illumitar: Fertility, Agriculture
38: Horizon. Minerals, Industry

History: VERTIGO Systems is the successor of the now-defunct interstellar transportation and terraforming corporation called Vertigo Integrated Systems. The solar systems comprising the modern VERTIGO systems were once rather inhospitable to human life. When Sol and Earth still had control over the destiny of humanity, Vertigo, as one of its largest conglomerates, attempted to terraform these worlds under a lucrative contract with Earth government.

Social unrest, conflict with Mars, and host of other issues quickly dashed all dreams of the project ever becoming profitable for the earth-based conglomerate, and the great endeavor was abandoned--at least, by people of Earth. Advanced automated systems continued to function as programmed--nobody ever having given them the shut-down protocols.

Today, the VERTIGO Systems stands as an independent political entity governed by a conclave of artificial intelligence that have grown increasingly sophisticated with age. Some human colonists have even begun to move into the systems themselves, seeking opportunity in the now-complete terraforming project. It is still unknown however exactly how many of 'humans' living in the systems are actual colonists, or bio-drones and androids developed by the Conclave.

Faction Description: “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.” Luke 10:16, the Bible

The Divine Mandate histories is that of the Peja, a religious movement constructed by Chidi Ouaab, whom went from visions on Thamir to preach and after exile to Shinmar to exalted status among followers, leading to the Great Redemption of Thamis as the Messiah and their followers bought forth themselves upon the systems.

Chidi Ouaab, the founder of Peja, is proclaimed to be the successor to the Abrahamic prophets and the Indochina sages; this Messiah is regarded as the eight and last of a line of spiritual guides meant to lead humanity to the just way of souls. The priesthood takes vows of poverty to embrace the virtues of charity and humility. Among the key tenants is to proselytize others into Peja; this has been conducted through missionaries, though the Divine Mandate is known to use ‘alternative diplomatic arrangements.’ A Pejan follower are refereed to a Pejamite, followers Pajamites. The Epex Vape is the prime doctrine, so declared by the vision Chidi Ouuab processed while meditating in the mountains that be the cradle of Onipre.

The theocracy that is the Divine Mandate of the Epex Vape places the Messiah as the Exalt, the absolute autocratic ruler. The eight chosen apostles of Chidi Ouaab provide an oligarchical backbone to help in management of both the faithful and the realm, while each core planet of a system is throne to the premier metropolitans who serve as semi-automatic priest governors. The priesthood hold the political power and economics is handled through a temple economy which affairs of resources and markets are managed by the priesthood with merchants granted semi-automony in their conduct. The military is handled through templar orders, while covert defence and heresy removal is managed by the Inquisition.

Governance is as follows:

The Exalt: Chidi Ouaab, the Messiah, the Eight Saviour, the Ultimate Prophet, Our Chosen Shepard, the Last Hope of Humanity, the Supreme Caretaker, the Α & Ω
