The Khommites were a Near-Human species hailing from the planet of Khomm. Circa 1000 BBY the Khommite people achieved a level of cloning technology far surpassing that of the rest of the galaxy. Believing that their society had achieved perfection, the people of Khomm began the cloning of "perfect" individuals, allowing their society to remain unchanged for the next millennium. Khommites' digestive systems were so specified that they could only eat processed food wafers.

Viewing Force-sensitivity as an undesirable fluke, the Khommites endeavored to remove the trait from their species. Despite this fact the trait would occasionally surface, as in the case of Dorsk 81, a Khommite Jedi Knight.

The Khommites were rigidly conformist in their views, and saw any disruption of the status quo as a threat to their way of life.

In 12 ABY, Admiral Daala ordered an attack on Khomm, when it was discovered that the Jedi Dorsk 81 and Kyp Durron had visited the planet. Colonel Cronus carried out the order with Crimson Command, devastating the planet and its population, forcing the Khommites to do something they had not done in centuries—adapt.

**KHOMMITE SPECIES TRAITS**

• • Ability Modifiers: +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom.

• • Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures, Khommites no special modifiers due to their size. Khommites who stand 1.2-1.4 meters tall are considered Small and should have their game statistics adjusted accordingly.

• • Speed: Khommite base speed is 10 meters.

• • Clone: Each Khommite represents generations of perfection in one particular field. Each one is the end of a long chain of identical Khommite clones that share the same character class. At character creation, any class may be chosen and that becomes the chosen class. If a character decides to multiclass, that class, and any subsequent class, takes a 10% penalty to experience gains.

• • Free Language: Read/Write and Speak Kian’thar, Speak Basic.
Backup

Backups are a form of cognitive archive used for protection against brain injuries and death.

They are not to be confused with Kamibrains and avatars because Kamibrains are the main brains of kami while backups are not the main brains of their sapient users

The Pure Land permits the usage of Backups but the general perception of them is that they do not preserve consciousness
Abdullah sleeping chapter

I woke up and saw Abdullah sleeping happily.

I remembered that this day was going to be our first trip into the city. It filled me with excitement to finally be able to see more than just Lazarus Academy.

Then I heard Abdullah speaking in his sleep "Oh Oniichan please go more I love you", and got up to leave the room.
Jason

A guy who looked a little older than me said out of the blue “my name is **Jason** and I lived from 1980-2000. I'm so excited to see what happened. Felt like the entire world was going in such a great direction, and I'm sad to have missed it, I love history” an older looking girl immediately interjected “ I was born in the same year as you. You're lucky to have missed the two decades after your death. They were the worst.”
Evolutionism

The Church of Alo or the Church of Evolution is one of the three major religions of the Telestial Kingdom alongside Buddhism, and Mormonism.

## Evolutionism

### Founder

Emrah

It is the largest religion with a living founder Emrah.

It is headed by the thirteen divinities and has a diversity of schools of thought.

## Beliefs

Members of the Church of Alo believe salvation is achieved through a threefold path:

* Alpha: Learning from ancestors and elders
* Lambda: Maintaining and caring for existing institutions
* Omega: Finding connection with others

Like Mormonism and unlike Buddhism Evolutionism is natalist and frowns upon euthanasia.

In contrast to Mormonism Evolutionism takes a quality over quantity approach to consciousness. Evolutionism considers finding higher states of consciousness to be more important than increasing the population. As a result most gods are Evolutonists while most modos are Mormons.

## History

The Church of Alo was founded by Emrah in the Spring of 2011. However the doctrine varied immensely until she began formalizing it and gaining a following in 2020.

A mystical experience convinced Emrah to transition to female and gave her the idea of Alpha Lambda Omega. This kickstarted the growth of Evolutionism as we know it.

Over the 2020s Emrah recruited the twelve apostles who alongside herself formed the thirteen divinities. Among these twelve apostles were Dante and Michael who joined due to their desire to see Alex revived after learning of a cryonics company going bankrupt.

Return to Starship Codex

Return to Star Wars Starship Codex

The *Firespray-31*-class patrol and attack craft, or *Firespray*-class starship, or *Firespray*-class interceptor, was a patrol and transport starship designed by Kuat Systems Engineering initially for use by the Republic Correctional Authority. The most well known of the starships was Jango and Boba Fett's ship, the *Slave I*. As a prisoner transport, the ship featured numerous holding cells and devices made for the most exotic of creatures. A trademark of the ship was that it landed horizontally with the drive engines facing the surface and the cockpit facing upward. To transition to normal flight mode, the ship rotated so that the cockpit faced forward while the drive engines faced rearward.

The stock ship was well armed and armored for its size, with on-board storage space and room for several passengers and/or cargo.

Uninhabited planets

Uninhabited planets are divided into two categories

* colonizable planets which are planets which are likely going to be colonized in the future. Colony ships frequently go to colonize such planets
* uncolonizable planets which are deemed impossible or too costly to colonize. These planets are in a fluid state and may become colonizable in the future as technology progresses
Aishta

Aishta (愛された) is the city where Lazarus Academy is located. It is a city on Asgard. It is a large city which is 80% students, and it is where nearly all resurrected people first live in. It is culturally approximately 1500 years behind the rest of Asgard, having a culture more similar to Earth.

## Etymology

The name is derived from the Japanese phrase 神に愛された Kami ni Aishita or loved by the Kami. It is shortened to Aishta
Christianity

Non-Mormon Christianity is a religion in the Telestial Kingdom.

It is divided into four sects: Universalists, Free Grace, Arminians, and Orthodoxy.

## Extinct branches

It has two extinct sects that are heavily discussed: Calvinism and Catholicism.

Calvinism is often seen as a predecessor to Telestial Mormonism in its theology

Catholicism had a significant influence on Orthodoxy, Mormonism, and Evolutionism and is often seen as the predecessor organization to both
Milky Way

The **Milky Way** is the galaxy that includes the Ra system and the Sol system, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. The term *Milky Way* is a translation of the Latin '**, from the Greek ('**), meaning "milky circle." From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies.

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with an estimated visible diameter of 100,000–200,000 light-years, but only about 1000 light years thick at the spiral arms (more at the bulge). Recent simulations suggest that a dark matter area, also containing some visible stars, may extend up to a diameter of almost 2 million light-years. The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies and is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which form part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself a component of the Laniakea Supercluster.

It is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars and at least that number of planets. The Solar System is located at a radius of about 27,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inner edge of the Orion Arm, one of the spiral-shaped concentrations of gas and dust. The stars in the innermost 10,000 light-years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge. The galactic center is an intense radio source known as Sagittarius A\*, a supermassive black hole of 4.100 (± 0.034) million solar masses. Stars and gases at a wide range of distances from the Galactic Center orbit at approximately 220 kilometers per second. The constant rotational speed appears to contradict the laws of Keplerian dynamics and suggests that much (about 90%) of the mass of the Milky Way is invisible to telescopes, neither emitting nor absorbing electromagnetic radiation. This conjectural mass has been termed "dark matter". The rotational period is about 240 million years at the radius of the Sun.

The Milky Way as a whole is moving at a velocity of approximately 600 km per second with respect to extragalactic frames of reference. The oldest stars in the Milky Way are nearly as old as the Universe itself and thus probably formed shortly after the Dark Ages of the Big Bang. On 12 May 2022, astronomers announced the image, for the first time, of Sagittarius A\*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Sol system

Sol system is the star system where humanity originated in. It used to be the most populous star system in the galaxy before the development of the ra system.

Most inhabitants of the sol system reside in the asteroid belt. The system is still one of the major population centers but is on the decline.

Return to Human Clone Trooper

Clone troopers, also known as Republic troops, Republic soldiers or the "Boys in White," were highly trained soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic. Bred on the extragalactic planet Kamino, clone troopers were engineered by Kaminoan scientists—using the human bounty hunter Jango Fett as a genetic template for the entire clone army—and represented the latest evolution in galactic warfare, having been designed to be superior to battle droids, by the time the Galactic Republic entered its final years. Their formal introduction to the galaxy as the newly formed Republic military coincided with the Separatist Crisis that ultimately spawned the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The ensuing conflict, the Clone Wars, was named for the clones that made their debut on the Separatist world of Geonosis in 22 BBY, marking the first engagement in the first pan-galactic conflict since the founding of the modern Galactic Republic approximately one thousand years prior.

**Species Traits**

• • 1 extra feat at 1st level, because humans are quick to master specialized tasks and varied in their talents. See Chapter: Feats.

• • 4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level, since humans are versatile and capable. (The 4 skill points at 1st level are added on as a bonus, not multiplied in; see Chapter: Skills.)

**Class Abilities**

• • ***Battle Analysis:** As swift action, may make Knowledge (tactics) check vs. TN 15 to know which opponents within line of sight of you are at ½ HPs or less.*

• • ***Cover Fire:*** (Prerequisite: Battle Analysis) When making ranged attack (pistol or rifle), all allies within 6 meters of you gain +1 to Defense Class until start of your next turn. Allies within 6 meters but not in line of sight still gain benefit.

• • ***Improved Cover Fire:*** (Prerequisite: *Battle Analysis, Cover Fire*) When you successfully suppress an enemy using the *Cover Fire* talent, that enemy takes a -5 penalty on its attack rolls until the start of your next turn. When targeting an area with an autofire weapon, each enemy in the attack area takes a -2 penalty on its attack rolls until the start of your next turn, regardless of whether your attack hits.

• • ***Combined Fire:*** (Prerequisite: Battle Analysis) +2 bonus to damage rolls on attacks against targets that have been damaged by an ally since the end of your last turn
Avatars

Avatars are humanoid bodies used by kami or Transapients for communication with humans.

When a Kami's avatar is destroyed they are not hurt in any substantial way and can just make another one, or often have several backups already.

Evolutionist Kami tend to almost always use augmented clones of their original human bodies for their avatars. Other kami and transapients may use other systems.

If a Kami has their avatar destroyed it will typically lead to at most a ten second memory loss in them. It is not perceived as important and most kami are completely willing to sacrifice their avatars for trivial reasons
Beloved of Kami

The Beloved of Kami are the relatives of the Thirteen Kami and other early people in the history of Evolutionism. They were born and died in the period between 1955 and 2050.

Contrary to popular belief they are not the oldest generation of cryonics patients. The First generation are the first ones and they include James Bedford.

The Beloved of Kami all have a common grounds of moral principles related to Evolutionism, even though many of them never knew of Evolutionism in their pre-lives. By contrast the first generation tends towards having little unifying it aside from a desire to see the future. The First generation is about 90% cishet white males and the Beloved of Kami are very diverse. Additionally the First generation is overwhelmingly composed of atheists while the Beloved of Kami tended towards being spiritual in their lives.

It is believed that the Beloved of Kami have most of these cultural traits not due to being influenced by Evolutionism, but rather because they influenced Evolutionism. They are often considered the hidden founders of Evolutionism.
Clones

Clones are separate individuals who are created from another person. They fall into three categories based on the MGS model

1. Genetic clones
2. Memetic clones
3. Full clones

## Genetic clones

Another organism made from the same genetic material. Generally this includes epigenetics too but early examples rarely achieved epigenetic cloning effectively. Such clones have very similar personalities but often differ substantially in beliefs. Depending on the degree of epigenetic differences genetic clones can act completely different from the original

## Memetic clones

Memetic clones are created by the copying of the mind of the individual and their beliefs. Scenes are seen as passing on to some extent through beliefs

## Full clones

Combination of both genetic and memetic cloning together.
Generally seen as a copy of an individual while genetic clones are seen as siblings.

## Scenetic clones

Scenetic clones are considered a possibility but implementation of the idea is seen as covered by full clones usually
Joseph Smith

Joseph Smith is the founder of Mormonism

He was resurrected in the third millennium by Emrah.

Due to the nature of resurrection there has been immense debate as to whether the public figure is the same person as the founder. Celestial Mormons consider him to be such, Terrestrial Mormons honor him as a clone of their founder, while Telestial Mormons consider him an impostor.

His own opinion is that he is not a continuation of Joseph Smith's consciousness, but that due to his genetic similarity he is the closest parallel person to Joseph Smith in the galaxy
Religion

**Religion** is usually defined as a social-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, beliefs, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that generally relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements; however, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.

Different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from the divine, sacred things, faith, a supernatural being or supernatural beings or "some sort of ultimacy and transcendence that will provide norms and power for the rest of life". Religious practices may include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration (of deities and/or saints), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trances, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service, or other aspects of human culture. Religions have sacred histories and narratives, which may be preserved in sacred scriptures, and symbols and holy places, that aim mostly to give a meaning to life. Religions may contain symbolic stories, which are sometimes said by followers to be true, that may also attempt to explain the origin of life, the universe, and other phenomena. Traditionally, faith, in addition to reason, has been considered a source of religious beliefs.

There are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide. About 84% of the world's population is affiliated with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or some form of folk religion. The religiously unaffiliated demographic includes those who do not identify with any particular religion, atheists, and agnostics. But many of the religiously unaffiliated still have various religious beliefs.

The study of religion comprises a wide variety of academic disciplines, including theology, philosophy of religion, comparative religion, and social scientific studies. Theories of religion offer various explanations for the origins and workings of religion, including the ontological foundations of religious being and belief.

Second Telestial War

The second telestial war is the subject of the early volumes of Telestial it started with the Telestial Assasination Plot and continued with the freeing of most of the Telestial Mormon leadership. After this freeing most of them were killed except those who surrendered.

It is revealed later on that the war was orchestrated by Emrah to give Telestial Mormons the afterlife they desired and rid the Pure Land of a violent threat.

Most surrendering Telestial Mormons recanted their views and were given no major punishments, those who did not were executed in the only executions in the history of the Pure Land
MGS model

The MGS model is a model of the self used in Evolutionism

It divided someone's essence into three parts Memetics Genetics and Scenetics. Epigenetics is sometimes considered a fourth category or lumpted in with Genetics or Scenetics.

Memes are cultural programs and beliefs within someone
Genes are genes and their expression
Scenes are elements of someone's circumstances that affect them independently of their replicable information. This concept is seen as an extension of the Buddhist concept of Karma

## Trivia

This model is derived from the Metal Gear Solid concept of meme gene scene in the first three games
Second federation

The second federation is a declining political union across the Terragen sphere. It was founded at the end of the Dark ages of Sol.

The Pure Land is a de facto independent entity from the second federation but de jure a member. The increasing power of the Pure Land is leading to a destabilization of the federation
Michael

Michael Bedford (1965-2050) is the father of Alex Bedford. A cryonics researcher who later got involved with the Church of Alo in the 2020s in response to the death of his son.

Alongside Emraham and Dante he reigns as an archailect and one of the thirteen devas.

He spent 2000 years trying to revive his son
Sinification of Terra

Terra adopted Chinese culture worldwide over the third and fourth millenia. The reason for this is that Chinese culture had the most firm identity on Earth, and people in surrounding cultures gradually adopted the identity and language. Contrary to the beliefs of some fearmongers in the 21st century this did not lead to a decrease in human rights or freedom worldwide. The effects are debated but Earth has a high level of human rights
Resurrection sickness

Resurrection sickness is a syndrome that occurs among people after being resurrected or revived from cryosleep.

It ranges from mild to severe. Emrah experienced only minor issues from her resurrection. By contrast James Bedford spent years in a vegetative state on life support until recovering and had no memories of his earlier life.
Sol era

The Sol era was an era where the bulk of Terragen civilization was located in the Sol system. It lasted from the year 2000 to the year 3000.

It was followed by the Interstellar era which lasted from 3000-4000

## Sub eras

* Information age 2000-2100
* Interplanetary age 2100-2400
* Nanotech age 2400-2600
* Dark ages of Sol 2600-3000

, I was hit by a truck while saving my sister, and I woke up surrounded by gods in the Pure Land., Imosuku) is a light novel series written to teach people about Alo.

Volume 1 is based primarily on Konosuba and the To aru series

later volumes are more based on Perry Rhodan and Starship Troopers
Sangha Democracy

Sangha Democracy is a concept in Evolutionism of an ideal democratic system. It is related to the Mormon concept of theodemocracy. The idea is that

Sangha Democracy was a dominant social system over the history of the Church of Alo but gradually was replaced by Kamicracy with the rise of the Kami, however it was never fully abolished, the emphasis of the system merely shifted with the active consent of the governed.
Lazarus Academy

Lazarus Academy is a school located in Academy City. It is a school for recently resurrected family members of the thirteen devas. It has 200 students.

None of the students know that they are family members of the thirteen devas. This is kept intentionally secret because it is considered potentially psychologically damaging for the students to learn their family members are gods right after resurrection. In the year 4020 Lazarus Academy was targeted by Telestial Mormons who wished to assassinate all of the students.

Students range in age from 14-100, and many have neurological disabilities as a product of having spent 2000 years frozen.

It is very much a university environment not a high school environment
Sephirotic Empires

Sephirotic Empires are a new type of empire that came into existence in the 4th millenium. They are named in universe after the same concept in Orion's Arm

Currently only the Pure Land is considered to constitute a true Sephirotic Empire, but some commentators even consider it to be merely a megacorp, as they question the archai status of the Thirteen Kami and consider them to be simply transapients. It may be more accurate to say that the Pure Land is an aspiring Sephirotic Empire than actually one as of 4020

Raelism

Raelism is a small religion led by Rael. It believes that life was created by earlier life in an infinite regress. Most of their prophecies of aliens contacting Earth came to not happen, but most of their social predictions happened through the intervention of Kami.

As a result Raelism changed its focus dramatically from future contact with aliens in the 20th-21st centuries to understanding what happened to other alien species. Raelism is the most interested religion in the Great Filter, with an even higher interest in it than Evolutionism.

Raelism and Evolutionism were mutually highly influential on each other particularly when it came to Telestial Dharma which is considered nearly identical to Raelian ethics.

Political debates between Raelism and Evolutionism primarily are about the opposing concepts of Geniocracy and Sangha Democracy.
Geniocracy emphasizes intelligence and attributes of leaders while Sangha Democracy emphasizes emotions people use to participate in politics.
These disagreements have since disappeared with the rise of Kamicracy
Kami

Kami are posthuman entities beyond human comprehension.

Called Archai when they first emerged, but called Kami by the Church of Alo, they are many toposophic levels above humans.

Most Kami began their lives as humans.

The term "Kami" intentionally lacks a plural form, so it does not easily differentiate between an individual Kami such as Emrah, a group such as the Thirteen Kami, or the whole of all Kami.

Alo is normally seen as something eternal above the Kami, however when the term is used collectively it includes Alo as the Kami of Kami, or the divine principle all the Kami follow.

Although the word referred to God in Japanese originally, its contemporary meaning refers only to such posthuman entities, and polytheistic gods, while monotheistic gods are usually referred to by their proper names such as Alo
Telestial Mormons

Telestial Mormons are a fringe sect that rejects the notion of the Telestial Kingdom as truly representing the plan of salvation. Telestial Mormons believe the physical world is an illusion created by Emrah, and that physical death is the only escape.

As Telestial Mormons believe human rationality is no longer possible, they believe that one's salvation is determined by the innermost goodness of their soul. As such they believe one's salvation was determined in the pre-mortal existence, and one will receive it after their death.

They are unrelated to the FLDS and ironically are one of the few religious groups to ban polygamy, as they split off from the LDS church during the second coming debates before the ban was lifted. The group is nearly entirely male and celibate, and the only group that still maintains gender.

Telestial Mormons kill people to send them to the Telestial Kingdom, while they hope to be killed and sent to the Celestial Kingdom. Telestial Mormons believe euthanasia is sinful and anyone who chooses euthanasia is an evil person who will go to the Outer Darkness. This derives from an ancient condemnation of suicide in a world where death was perceived as inevitable which is widely seen as archaic.

Nearly all commentators both within other Mormon sects and in other traditions consider Telestial Mormonism to be an inversion of Mormonism
Reef city

A fully grown Reef operates as a living city for its inhabitants, providing for all of their needs and desires as a side effect of its own life processes. Living space, food, water, transport, and data and communications support are all provided by various systems produced by the Reef or by organisms living symbiotically within it (in many cases, the inhabitants themselves may live in symbiotic union with the Reef, their biological waste products feeding or otherwise helping to sustain it).

Reefs may be constructed using plasm based systems, gengineered organisms, biobots (see Buildbug) or some combination of all three. In general they are constructed (grown) in the shallow coastal waters of terraformed planets or large habitats and are built up from materials extracted from the water and sea floor.

Smaller Reefs may be grown entirely from natural biological materials and are mostly submerged, providing homes for aquatic or amphibious sophonts of various sorts. Larger Reefs may extend hundreds of meters above (and below) the surface and usually employ a combination of natural materials and gengineered forms that have been modified to incorporate carbon nanofiber, diamondoid, and various metals for extra strength, durability, electrical conductance, or other desired properties. These larger habitation structures often support populations of millions of different sophonts, each type of being occupying a portion of the reef that suits it best, with the reef itself modifying its local structure to better accommodate its inhabitants.

Kantianism

Kantianism is a religion founded by Joshua Leonhart, although their traditional founder is said to be Immaunel Kant.

Kantians believe in adherence to a strict form of rationality as a way of life.

Evolutionists generally perceive themselves as following the categorical imperative, by contrast Kantians generally perceive Evolutionists as following the philosophy of an ancient philosopher known as Hegel.

Joshua Leonhart founded Kantianism in response to his perception that Evolutionism was failing to meet the categorical imperative by prioritizing the fluid ideas of Alpha Lambda Omega.

As Joshua Leonhart was both a descendant of Emrah and Dante, and an evolutionist before founding Kantianism, it is sometimes considered a sect of Evolutionism
Charlie

Charlie is a self proclaimed "anime loli" who was a man who lived until the age of 100 from 1955-2055. She calls everyone "young man" or "young woman" regardless of their age. Her current body appears to be aged 12

## Quote

So I pointed to a girl who looked around 12 with purple hair. She got excited and said “My name is **Charlie** but I'm probably gonna change it. I was born in 1955 and died in 2055. My last request to my son was to bring me back as an anime girl and here I am. My body is my mental age due to Alzheimer’s and I need to learn basically everything from scratch.”

“You speak now young girl” she said as she pointed to an older woman seemingly 30 in age.
Mormonism

Mormonism is one of the three major religions of the Telestial Kingdom alongside Evolutionism, and Buddhism.

Mormonism was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith.

Mormonism has two major sects: Terrestrial Mormonism and Celestial Mormonism. It also has a fringe sect Telestial Mormonism

Mormonism shares the division of Telestial Terrestrial Celestial Kingdoms with Evolutionism but unlike Evolutionism Mormonism sees the three kingdoms as having a more firm division

## Celestial Mormons

Celestial Mormons believe the ability to colonize other planets is achieving godhood in the sense prophesized by Joseph Smith, so they see themselves as in the Celestial Kingdom. Most space colonists are either Celestial Mormons or clones of Evolutionists.

Celestial Mormonism is considered highly influenced by Evolutionism. It is headed by a cloned Joseph Smith

Celestial Mormonism has been criticized by Terrestrial Mormons as

## Terrestrial Mormons

Terrestrial Mormons believe they lost the chance to participate in the Celestial Kingdom and must make do with the Terrestrial Kingdom. They live lives extremely similar to most Evolutionists with the primary distinctions being a lack of desire for ascension (Alpha/Celestial Kingdom), and a higher pressure to participate at a Terrestrial level due to seeing a Telestial existence as undesirable.

They are the continuation of the original LDS church after the second coming debates.

## Telestial Mormons

Telestial Mormons are a fringe sect that rejects the notion of the Telestial Kingdom as truly representing the plan of salvation. Telestial Mormons believe the physical world is an illusion created by Emrah, and that physical death is the only escape.

As Telestial Mormons believe human rationality is no longer possible, they believe that one's salvation is determined by the innermost goodness of their soul. As such they believe one's salvation was determined in the pre-mortal existence, and one will receive it after their death.

They are unrelated to the FLDS and ironically are one of the few religious groups to ban polygamy, as they split off from the LDS church during the second coming debates before the ban was lifted. The group is nearly entirely male and celibate, and the only group that still maintains gender.

Telestial Mormons kill people to send them to the Telestial Kingdom, while they hope to be killed and sent to the Celestial Kingdom. Telestial Mormons believe euthanasia is sinful and anyone who chooses euthanasia is an evil person who will go to the Outer Darkness. This derives from an ancient condemnation of suicide in a world where death was perceived as inevitable which is widely seen as archaic.

Nearly all commentators both within other Mormon sects and in other traditions consider Telestial Mormonism to be an inversion of Mormonism
Buddhism

Buddhism or to be more accurate Pure Land Buddhism is one of the three major religions of the Telestial Kingdom alongside Evolutionism, and Mormonism.

Buddhism believes that the Telestial Kingdom is the Pure Land and people ought to seek enlightenment in the easiest world to achieve enlightenment. Buddhists believe that killing someone is unconditionally wrong because they will reincarnate into a worse world, but believe that after people achieve enlightenment euthanasia is desirable.

Buddhism is the oldest religion still practiced by humans
Bubblehabs

Bubblehabs are artificial habitats that float in an atmosphere, usually the atmosphere of a cool gas giant or ice giant planet. The basic design dates all the way back to the Interplanetary Age, and the simple and robust technologies involved have been further refined in the millennia since.

Bubblehabs are so called because the structure is held aloft by an envelope of lifting gas, the 'bubble'. This is typically pure hydrogen held at a temperature above that of the surrounding air. The size of the envelope varies dramatically, but is most typically a few hundred metres to a few kilometres across at the longest axis. Shapes also vary, but those resembling gigantic balloons or airships are the most common. A bubblehab is constructed almost entirely with elements refined from the planetary atmosphere, and it generates its own power, also from local resources. The vast majority of modern bubblehabs are self-repairing and neumann-capable.

The reproductive capacity of typical bubblehabs means that an initial introduction of even one such hab to a suitable planet can lead to a very large volume of living space within a short period of time. The relative ease and convenience of creating a bubblehab, its reliability, and the self-sufficiency of the habs once they are created are attractive features and account for their vast numbers. In modern times bubblehabs of one sort or another are ubiquitous in the Terragen Sphere; they are found in nearly every inhabited star system that has a gas giant planet, and may support a large fraction of the system's population. In some cases the number of persons in the bubblehabs scattered through the atmosphere of even a single gas giant may run into the trillions.

Great Filter

The Great filter is the cause of other galactic life not existing, it is seen as the most threatening filter. It is not the last filter but is the last one other life has ever encountered. Defeating it is a critical mission of the Church of Alo.

The Last Filter is the Heat Death of the universe and is often seen as the partner of the Great Filter
Celestial Dharma

Celestial dharma is the third and highest tier of dharma. It is derived from the concept of the alpha and creation.

The oath of Celestial dharma is taken in the form of coronation. In order to undergo the oath one must first take the oath of telestial dharma and then the oath of terrestrial dharma each with its own vetting processes, and then prove that one is sufficiently following terrestrial dharma to take the oath.

All Evolutionist Kami have taken the Celestial oath, and are seen as the executors of Celestial Dharma on the world as representatives of alo
Subsapients

Subsapients are conscious entities below Sapient intelligence. Historically they lacked language abilities as the human development of language was key to their ascension to Sapience, however this was due to the evolutionary process leading up to humans individually, and many subsapients can have high language skills such as Elizas
Chemosynthesis

Chemosynthesis is a spell used to generate sugar from a sulfur vent. It is only used in the Post-Stellaris chapter

## Hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis process

Giant tube worms use bacteria in their trophosome to fix carbon dioxide (using hydrogen sulfide as their energy source) and produce sugars and amino acids. Some reactions produce sulfur:

hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis:
18**H**2**S** + 6CO2 + 3**O**2 → C6**H**12O6 (carbohydrate) + 12**H**2**O** + 18**S**
Instead of releasing oxygen gas while fixing carbon dioxide as in photosynthesis, hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis produces solid globules of sulfur in the process. In bacteria capable of chemoautotrophy (a form a chemosynthesis), such as purple sulfur bacteria, yellow globules of sulfur are present and visible in the cytoplasm.

Catholicism

Catholicism is an old Christian sect which used to be the dominant one. It was quite similar to Orthodoxy and died out primarily due to ineffective central leadership making people move to Orthodoxy and a general antipathy from Western populations that did not extend to Orthodoxy

Emrah made it clear multiple times throughout her life that the Church of Alo ought to take the form the Medieval Catholic Church did

Due to Catholicism's rule against cremation most medieval people were resurrected, while many people from later generations were not
Hope

(Hope 2010-2024)

A **small girl** started crying and said “please no more talking about the past, we're as far from the 2020s as they were from Jesus, as far as I'm aware were in a new world. I don't want to talk about politics I just want to learn about art, watch all the animes I've missed, play some new games and just enjoy myself, it doesn't matter how things went we're all here in heaven now and that's what matters”.

Evangelical wars

The Evangelical wars were a 21st century conflict occurring during the information age they are often seen as having defined the century and were directly linked to the development of Evolutionism.

Most of the main cast are survivors of the wars, or in the case of Alex died shortly before their beginning.

Details are not given on the nature of the wars except that they were perpetrated by Evangelicals and led to the discrediting of Calvinism long term.
Age of Enlightenment

The **Age of Enlightenment**, or simply **the Enlightenment**, was an intellectual and philosophical movement that dominated Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries with global influences and effects. The Enlightenment included a range of ideas centered on the value of human happiness, the pursuit of knowledge obtained by means of reason and the evidence of the senses, and ideals such as liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state.

The Enlightenment has its roots in a European intellectual and scholarly movement known as Renaissance humanism and was also preceded by the Scientific Revolution and the work of Francis Bacon, among others. Some date the beginning of the Enlightenment back to the publication of René Descartes' *Discourse on the Method* in 1637, featuring his famous dictum, *Cogito, ergo sum* ("I think, therefore I am"). Others cite the publication of Isaac Newton's *Principia Mathematica* (1687) as the culmination of the Scientific Revolution and the beginning of the Enlightenment. European historians traditionally date its beginning with the death of Louis XIV of France in 1715 and its end with the 1789 outbreak of the French Revolution. Many historians now date the end of the Enlightenment as the start of the 19th century, with the latest proposed year being the death of Immanuel Kant in 1804.

Philosophers and scientists of the period widely circulated their ideas through meetings at scientific academies, Masonic lodges, literary salons, coffeehouses and in printed books, journals, and pamphlets. The ideas of the Enlightenment undermined the authority of the monarchy and the Catholic Church and paved the way for the political revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries. A variety of 19th-century movements, including liberalism, communism, and neoclassicism, trace their intellectual heritage to the Enlightenment.

In France, the central doctrines of the Enlightenment philosophers were individual liberty and religious tolerance, in opposition to an absolute monarchy and the fixed dogmas of the Church. The Enlightenment was marked by an emphasis on the scientific method and reductionism, along with increased questioning of religious orthodoxy—an attitude captured by Immanuel Kant's essay *Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment*, where the phrase *Sapere aude* (Dare to know) can be found.

Pure Land sol system domains

The Pure Land sol system domains are all areas of the sol system that are controlled by the Pure Land. Jupiter and Saturn and the Sol Asteroid Belt are the main parts of the domain.

## History

As the Church of Alo was founded on Earth it had a large system of domains in Earth especially in Africa and Europe early on.

Over time a lot of domains were lost on Earth and the Church moved to the gas giants. There are a variety of reasons for this:

* Sinification of Terra
* The Church moving away from violent conflicts due to its dedication to pacifism
* The Church's encouragement of space colonization and the use of megastructures to live in due to cultural preference
* The completion of archaeological and paleontological excavations on Earth making staying there less of a priority
Cryosleep

Cryosleep is the state people go into where their metabolic function is reduced to zero. It is distinct from death as integrity of bodily systems is strictly protected. Everyone underwent cryosleep over death for most of the history of the Church of Alo up until the resurrection era which contrary to the name was mostly one of Cryosleep revivals rather than resurrections

## Notable people to go through cryosleep

* James Bedford the first person to undergo it
* Alex
Alex

Alex Bedford (2000-2019 r. 4019) is the protagonist of Telestial.

## Biography

### Early Life

Alex was born on April 19, 2000 to Michael Bedford. His brother Dante was born in 1998.

He was a big fan of Rick and Morty, Konosuba, and Sword Art Online.

He considered himself smarter than everyone else

He was hit by truck-kun in 2019

He was cryonically-preserved and revived in the year 4019

### Revival

In the year 4019 Alex was revived.

When he was first revived he suffered from both Retrograde and Anterograde amnesia and epilepsy and had to use a wheelchair to get around.

Emrah, secretly his sister-in-law guided him through this procedure until he healed enough to attend Lazarus Academy

She took on a form based on Aqua from Konosuba to be familiar to him with his anterograde amnesia

After several months of medical treatment Alex regained full physical abilities

He began to attend Lazarus Academy after his recovery to learn more about the Telestial Kingdom. Unknown to him it is a school exclusively for the deceased children of highly significant figures in the Church of Alo
