Externalists

A religious movement that emerged from the ashes of the Galactic War. The atrocities and destruction had a negative impact on most old Earth's faiths and religions, thus creating a need for new hopes and beliefs.

The Externalists believe in a unknown (still) alien race that will save humanity from itself and the rest of the galaxy. It is not recognized as an official religion by the Sol Union goverment and its members create independent communities on distant worlds and planets where unknown alien artifacts exist.

Externalists practice the art of xenosynthesis, combining alien DNA with their own in order to abort their human nature and create a new species of man. This experimentation leads to a number of grotesque mutations and even deaths. They are considered as outcasts and fundamentalists, with violent behavior towards SU officials and military personnel. As long as they do not interfere with Sol Union's plans or civilization they are considered harmless fouls.
