| The Hatire Community is an empire filled with contradictions. A theocratic stellar nation that couldn't practice its faith without the [[Stardrive|stardrive]], the Brethren deny the value of the technological advances of mankind. Most of humanity sees the advance of science as a measure of humanity's progress. This belief seems foolish in the eyes of the Brethren. The success of a species cannot be measured in technological toys alone. The Brethren believe that the next step in humanity's evolution will be a spiritual leap of faith. | The Hatire Community is an empire filled with contradictions.

| Despite the community's neutrality, [[Timeline|the first decade of the 24th century]] transformed Hatire society. Haven, a beautiful planet settled in the late 23rd century, provided the inspiration that eventually drew the Community together. The exploration of Haven's surface offered humanity a rare opportunity to see the intact ruins of a million-year-old alien civilization. | Despite the community's neutrality, [[Timeline|the first decade of the 24th century]] transformed Hatire society.

| - | Hatire archeologists reported that the largest structure to survive was located at the center of the ancient city. The relics found within that site dazzled scientists, but the story told on the edifice's walls was even more important, at least to the Brethren. After studying the alien symbols for a dozen years, the Brethren announced a discovery that would reshape the Community. The ancient dwellers of Haven's ruins revered a non-corporeal being that the translators named the [[Cosimir]]. The alien writings recorded the history of the Cosimir's visitation to the material world and its prescription for a new purity of spirit. As more texts were translated, the gospel of the Cosimir spread among the Hatire. Over the next decade, the Community went through phases of curiosity, debate, and ultimately revelation. While Hatire theologians argued about the Cosimir's message, the masses accepted the Cosimir as an element of faith they had been missing. Purity of spirit and trust in the Cosimir became the watchwords of the Hatire Community. | + | Hatire archeologists reported that the largest structure to survive was located at the center of the ancient city.

| Transformed by their new faith, the formerly reclusive Brethren saw their mission clearly. The Cosimir's word must be heard and spread throughout space. | Transformed by their new faith, the formerly reclusive Brethren saw their mission clearly.

| The years between the wars - and the first few years of [[GW2]] itself - went badly for the Community. As Hatire missionaries met resistance to what many outsiders perceived as a bizarre religion, the Community became more entrenched. Unlike other [[the stellar nations|stellar nations]], the Community spent few resources exploring new frontiers. Instead, it concentrated on spreading the faith, but with missionaries traveling throughout human space, the Hatire were ill prepared for the outbreak of war in [[Timeline|2346]]. | The years between the wars - and the first few years of [[GW2]] itself - went badly for the Community.

| - | When the Thuldan border expanded to contact the Community in 2357, the survival of the nation was threatened. Fortunately for the Hatire, the list of the Thuldan Empire's enemies had grown long. Meetings with Emperor Decret produced a peace agreement that eventually led the Community to join the Expansion Pentad. A detachment of Hatire mind knights went into action in the first Expansion Pentad joint operation in [[Timeline|2362]] in a ground assault during the [[Battle of Morgan's Bluff]]. | + | When the Thuldan border expanded to contact the Community in 2357, the survival of the nation was threatened.

| While the Community had accepted force as a useful instrument to spread the word of the Cosimir, its goals were different from those of the Pentad's other members. Even as Thuldan and Hatire forces fought together against the [[Borealis Republic|Borealins]] and the [[Union of Sol|Solars]], Hatire missionaries worked to gain converts in the powerful Empire. After all the physical battles were won and lost, the Empire found there had been a spiritual front to the war as well. Almost a quarter of the Thuldan population had embraced the Hatire faith by the war's end, and the ties between Empire and Community grew stronger than ever before. | While the Community had accepted force as a useful instrument to spread the word of the Cosimir, its goals were different from those of the Pentad's other members.

| - | You loved your faith as much as the next loyal Hatire, but you yearned for something else. The community doesn't take well toward its members that readily welcome and use technology. Only during times of great need, such as the war or expansion, are Hatires given special dispensations called technology indulgences. But you seek out devices and knowledge unsanctioned. Perhaps out of a misunderstood necessity, or a driving curiosity. Regardless, you have been outcast for your heresies, but you may still long for the community, for your home. | + | You loved your faith as much as the next loyal Hatire, but you yearned for something else.
