Select from the War Against Unholiness

Select from the War Against Unholiness was the sect of Church of Humanity Unchained (Defiant) established by Ephraim Templeton in the beginning of the twenty century PD. Under the command of Ephraim's eldest son Gideon the sect for fifteen years succesfully acted as a terrorist organization, until 1919 PD. ()
== Doctrine ==
The sect's doctrine espoused an especially virulent misogynist orientation. The teachings of the Tempelton's church was not always clear however, since Ephraim had not explained all subjects before his death.
== History ==
Ephraim Templeton created his sect after he fleed from Masada due to Manticoran occupation (wich was equaled by Templetons with persecutions). That's why the first members of the sect were male members of Templeton's family and their supporters. In the period beteen 1914 and 1919 PD male faction of scrag's Sacred Band decided to join and to convert. They were all killed or captured in 1919 PD, trying to kidnapp Manticoran princess Ruth Winton on the Wages of Sin space station in the Erewhon System.
== Hardware ==
In their terrorist activity Masadans operated advanced devices like wihte noise generator or sniffer.
Gideon Templeton operated some armed merchant cruiser - probably one of inherited pirate ships. The vessel was equipped with concealed weaponry, including probably a couple of heavy weapons mounts. She had no armor and her sidewalls were weeker, than in a true warship. The group left their ship in the Erewhon System when they tried to kidnapp Ruth Winton.
== Employment ==
Select hired themselves as mercenaries. As of 1919 PD their main contractor was Haicheng Ringstorff in the name of Manpower. They were no objections to work for Manpower outside the Solarian League and the Silesian Confederacy. In the same time they commissioned murder of the leader of the antislavery Renaissance Association - Hieronymus Stein, by the order of the Solarian Maya Sector officials.
== Members ==
