Adhara as Chinese

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. - Voltaire

Longshot Mission (+100 Faber)

Adhara's religion was based after several very Asian tenets of providing the best to one's children and the idea that one benefitted from others being at the same level. This idea of ruthless equality from advanced transgenics proved to be significant later.

Dominantly Transgene (++Transgene)

Given the religious pressure towards advancement and human enhancement that the early Adharans had, it was no surprise that they embraced modification. To worship their creator, they would create him, and his heavenly host, via augmentation and AI research.

Hell World

They chose a world that was actively hostile to human existence, with conditions reminiscent of primordial Earth. It was their Eden.

Adapt (Radical Morphological Change)

Humanity had become weak and broken with their sin, which made many think that Adhara was hell. They were wrong, of course. It was Eden.

All this, of course, was premature as the Breakdown occurred soon after.

Tough It Out (+Doctrines)

Running Back Into The Fold (+2 Global Tech Level, +100 Wealth, +60 Pop)

In gratitude and loyalty to the Chinese Colonial Authority, which funded significant amounts of the colony's early development in return for future repayment in research, and to the PLA, which had allowed it to survive as a functional colony, Adhara stayed loyal through the Breakdown.

Outsystem Research Facility (+Common Tech, +Weapons Tech, +100 CIP)

Supersoldier Factory (+Tech, +Transgene, ++Supersoldiers)

Adhara has some of the leading researchers in cybernetics design in the Sphere, and its excellent education system and religious encouragement towards learning the hard sciences has given it a sizable and well-educated staff of researchers and engineers.

L1) Future Government (++Morale, +Transgene)

Adhara itself is run on something between perfect democracy and perfect tyranny, a powerful combination of

Chaotic) My Little Lacus Civil War: I'm with the Eschatonics! (+Transgene, -2,500 Military)

Well they blew themselves up to forge supermen in the fires of war. What's there to say?
