The Orlamu Theocracy marks the latest example of a society born out of the desire for religious freedom. For the Orlamus, the exodus from Earth meant abandoning the clouded views of a planet to embrace the reality of the stars. The Orlamus happily attribute the origin of their society to a scientific advance. Their union of faith and science has been blessed with success. | The Orlamu Theocracy marks the latest example of a society born out of the desire for religious freedom.

- | Orlamu life is founded on the acceptance of contradiction. The people of the Theocracy maintain a belief in scientific revelations: the tachyon paradox theory of subatomic particles, the grand unified theory of forces, and the Kaidman dark-matter assumption, all of which provide the scientific foundation of knowledge for a stardrive. Along with their allegiance to the most advanced disciplines of science, the Orlamus gaze with wonder at the marvels of the universe -the beautiful balances of energy and matter, and the existence of life itself. And in :these marvels, they see witness of a conscious, divine will. | + | Orlamu life is founded on the acceptance of contradiction.

Unlike followers of older religions, the Orlamus do not find their beliefs and scientific rationalism conflicting. As the Orlamu saying goes, the search for truth demands realism and a trust in the divine. The Orlamu mission is simply to explore the divine itself: in this world, a realm of conscious divine creation, and the Divine Unconscious itself, which others call drivespace. | Unlike followers of older religions, the Orlamus do not find their beliefs and scientific rationalism conflicting.
