Adhara as CIS

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

Longshot Mission (+100 Faber)

Adhara's launch and existence was entirely dependent on some of the most brilliant cyberneticists and transgenic scientists, with Russian blessing, taking a longshot to create the new man, without the fears of Strauss-Kaserism and with a Core power, even a small one, at their backs. They soon invented a religion and ideology to call their own, one that the colonists embraced.

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.

Transgene Migration (+60 Population, +Transgene)

Despite their status as a religious cult, the offer of free top of the line bioenhancement to anyone who emigrated was sufficient to bring many into the fold, and the technology used to enhance the men and women who arrived developed rapidly. And for a time, it was good.

Military Action (+2,500 Military)

Religious disagreement created an Adharan civil war, a black mark in one of Russia's few sponsored colonies. The Adharans called for help dealing with this, but what was sent would find itself stranded by the Breakdown.

Narco-Warfare (+2,500 Military, -60 Pop)

The war was long and brutal, killing many and turning others into refugees.

Isolated (+100 PIP)

The Adharan Schism raged near the Breakdown, and cries to the motherland and the few other Russian colonies for help were silenced by the Breakdown even as the first reinforcements trickled, turning the tide. War raged and factories expanded to provide this effort. Particularly out on the edge, Adhara found itself entirely cut off from contact.

Go Weird (++Transgene)

Even as the war raged, scientists adapted the Adharan to war, boosting their bodies for combat.

The CIS, and The Future

Adhara may have been established by men and women from many nations but it was with Russian funding, influence in the CIS government, and they survived the Schism with Russian support.

Whatever The Cost (+60 Pop, +Morale, +Transgene, -100 Wealth)

The war left them weak, but they would rebuild. They would prosper. And they would ensure that the Dawn would not be able to keep its promise.

Infodump (+4 Global Tech Level, +100 Dust)

Soldier of the Future (++Ground Doctrines, +Cybernetics, + Ground Tech)

Adhara has some of the leading researchers in cybernetics design in the Sphere so close to the Core, 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.

Multiparty Democracy (+Morale, +Application (common), +100 CIP)

Adhara itself is run on a coalition government between various interests, forged originally to oppose the Dawn and now a fully fledged democracy in its own right.

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?

Adhara as CCA

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.

The Collapse of the Middle Kingdom (+60 Pop, -200 Theta, Crisis Event)

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

Tough It Out (+Doctrines)

The Adharan Schism raged near the Breakdown, and was exacerbated by its existence. With the help of the now-stranded PLA reinforcements, they eventually won, but not before the men and women who would become the Eternal Dawn ran off to conquer their own holdings, promising their revenge.

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.

Future Government (++Morale, +Transgene)

Adhara itself is run on something between perfect democracy and perfect tyranny.

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?
