• Self-Image: God's Chosen People, destined to rule the stars.

History & Origins¶

1. The Pre-History (Solar Punk Earth)¶

• Earth State: A sustainable Solar Punk Utopia. People lived well, but it was static/stagnant.
• The Doom: A meteor was on collision course (50 years out). Humanity was unaware/unprepared due to the suppression of innovation for stability.
• The Visitor: God Ahr was actually a Photoli Traveler exploring far from Galia. He saw two paths: let them die in peace vs force innovation/survival.

2. The Revelation (Vincenzo & Ahr)¶

• The Meeting: Ahr met Vincenzo Assis Gotti (a man of charity and innovation) incognito.
• The Spark: Vincenzo said "While there is life, there is hope".
• The Intervention: Ahr revealed the coming doom and inspired Vincenzo to lead humanity.
• The Strategy: Force rapid innovation and unification to build an Ark.

3. The Schism (ECOS Truth)¶

• The Opposition: ECOS discovered Ahr was an alien.
• The Rebellion: They viewed Vincenzo's plan as "Alien Domination" and the resource extraction as the murder of Earth.
• The Result: Vincenzo had no choice but to unify humanity through a Religious/Organizational System (MUD) and consume Earth's resources to build the Mothership Serene.

4. The Exodus¶

• ~2120: Ahr visits planet Earth — through illusion, humanity is tricked into forming a space-based religion, plundering the planet, and leaving permanently
• ~2140: Humanity advances towards the stars; Planet Earth is left an empty husk
• Guidance: Ahr traveled with the MUD until they reached the Exodus Sector in Galia

5. The Expansion¶

• ~2399: MUD finds the Exodus Sector in Galia Expanse and establishes their base
• ~2400: Last appearance of God (Ahr) to the MUD — he leaves with the promise of returning once they find their true home
• Settlement: Mothership Serene became the heart of the empire
• ~2401: ECOS dissidence — ECOS leaves towards Old Grove Sector
• ~2410: MUD establishes first safe zone colonies — Valiant-I, Aurora-II, Verzan-III, Amora-IV
• ~2411: The Translucid Pox wipes out 8% of MUD population before being contained on Valiant-I
• ~2411: The Pearce Council is established on Amora-IV, becoming the bastion of MUD defenses
• ~2417: Pearce is born on Amora-IV
• ~2426: MUD expands into the Medium Zone — colonies: Mycenas-V, Xianyang-VI, Redam-VII, Pergamos-VIII, Abyd-IX
• Aggressive Colonization: Seized system after system, overthrowing local cultures. Expansion halted only by ONI/Ustur borders.

6. The Convergence War (Book I Era)¶

• ~2510: Explorer Gyun Oman discovers the Cataclysm (limitless Genesium). He illegally sells the data to all 3 rival factions — MUD, ONI, and Ustur — each believing they are the sole recipients.
• Reaction: MUD sees this as the fulfillment of the Revelation.
• Fracture: Patriarch Vincenzo Gotti dies. His heir Charon Gotti inherits a divided empire.
• Outcome: MUD forces were undone by the war, retreating to their home sector (Exodus).
• "Plan B": MUD leadership (High Council) has a secret contingency plan to ensure humankind thrives even if the Council of Peace collapses.

Government & Structure¶

The Holy Family (Gotti Lineage)¶

• Status: Divine right to rule. Descendants of Vincenzo are the only ones fit to guide MUD.
• Succession: Vincenzo -> Izek -> ... -> Charon Gotti Jr.

Internal Factions (The Fracture)¶

The discovery of the Cataclysm turned MUD's unity into an arena:

1. The Holy Servants (The Church): View Cataclysm as Sacred Ground. Demand consecrated claiming.
2. The Pearce Council (Military/Colonial): View Cataclysm as Strategic Singularity. Seek control.
3. Scientia (Scientists): View Cataclysm as Existential Threat. Urge caution.
4. The Synod (Merchants): View Cataclysm as Logistics & Trade. Control shadows.
5. The Senate: Weakened political body pleading for restraint.

Ex-Colonies (The Medium Zone)¶

• Worlds: Redam-VII, Mycenas-V, Abyd-IX, Pergamos-VIII, Xianyang-VI.
• ~2522: All five colonies — Redam, Mycenas, Xianyang, Pergamos, and Abyd — break out from MUD civilization, starting their own independent governments in the post-Convergence War chaos.
• Status: Abandoned during the war. Now contested ground between MUD re-integration efforts and ECOS influence.

Culture & Society¶

Metahumans¶

• Nature: Individuals with technological modifications (meta-organs) for power/longevity.
• Status: Wealthy MUD often have some augmentation.
• Symbolism: Represents humanity's adaptability and relentless pursuit of improvement.

Language: Divina Lingua¶
