This culture is based strongly in a religious movement known as Creatiolutionism. The basic idea behind this faith is that a higher being created everything and then observed how it would live in the world making adjustments as needed in order to let those it favored survive.

As religious extremist go, they are pretty open to other creeds and philosophies. However, if anyone so much as jokes about Creatiolutionism, the consequences could be fatal. It has been reported that those who mock their faith end up either dead through weapons of mass destruction or forcefully converted to the religion through brain washing.

Their faith has given them an interesting culture. While religious in nature, they have advanced in the scientific areas of genetics, specifically cloning and genetic engineering. In fact, their file comes with two other files stuck in it about creatures they created or modified in order to better suit their ideals.

Their empire is split into two factions. The strongest one sits on the Orion Arm’s joint near the Galactic Core, reportedly as a border and galactic toll booth for anyone wishing to travel beyond their colonies. It is here that they have formed a large number of strong planets capable advancing their religion and technology. This part of their empire is also their most economically stable, as surrounding empires are said to often pay the Acolytes in order to keep up a good relationship with an unnamed force.
