| 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.
