Name: Arktana Theocracy
Planet Name: Ashu
System Name: Kellion
Government: Theocracy
Culture: The Aktana Church believes that that the universe is a giant puzzle created by God. As followers of God it is their duty to solve as much of it as they can. This has resulted in a much greater focus on research and development than might otherwise be the case. That's not to say that technology overwhelms the religious side though, the two are seen as mutually reinforcing. Many of the priests are also scientists and its far from uncommon for technology to be used to give a place a more mystical feel.
History: Nobody is quite sure where the Arktana Theocracy came from, records from after the Virus are sparse unhelpful in that regard. What is known however is that when the dust settled it was the Arktana Church that people had flocked to for shelter. With it's secure settlements scattered across the planet and the hope of a higher being looking out for the desperate masses it is not hard to see why. Even so, the different branches of the church were cut off from one another due to a planet that suddenly seemed far too dangerous for any sane person to want to settle on. Dangerous animals roamed lands that did their best to make travel impossible. Weather patterns proved equally dangerous and hostile to travel.
It was to take hundreds of years for all the different communities to make contact with each other and set up proper lines of communication. In fact it could only be said that the planet had been tamed after the ancient colony ship descended from the skies. The technology within allowed for actual travel between cities to happen on a regular basis, weather patterns could be accurately tracked and predicted, deaths to hostile fauna dropped as weapons became powerful to take them down quickly.
With Ashu finally a place that could be called a home the Arktana Theocracy set it's sights on the stars. Hopefully they would be more friendly.
