Sacrosanct

Sacrosanct was an organisation that existed in the Post Liberation era. Its aim was to suppress the technological development of humanity in order to eliminate war.

## Background

Lewman Par was a scientist living in the city of Antegonia. He was an instrumental contributor in developing the Geistkind, which allowed Hollows to escape their metal shells for a more palatable form. After the Razing of Antegonia, he was incarcerated by Altan forces and agreed to work for them in exchange for his freedom. Unbeknownst to his captors, Par set about analysing Hollow intelligence in order to create artificial ones from nothing. Having seen firsthand the destruction wrought by Old World technology like the hunter frames, he sought to create a force that could overwhelm the rest of the world, keeping them from turning against each other. He believed that the only way for humans to overcome this enemy would be to unite and put their differences aside, at which point it would no longer need to exist nd be defeated

Par created a squad of twelve artificial Geistkinder, designed to pilot the six Asura Series hunter frames in Altan’s possession, which were the strongest weapons currently available to humanity at that time. Understanding that his disillusionment and anger at the world would inevitably tamper with Sacrosanct’s mission, Par refused to lead them and created an artificial intelligence named Seer to direct the organisation’s activities instead. After he was satisfied with his preparations, Par released a virus into Altan's databanks, scrubbing them clean of any information related to hunter frames, and then launched a suicide bombing as a diversion. Using this opportunity, his Geistkinder were able to steal the Asura Series and destroy the remaining hunter frames before escaping.

## History

### Destroying the Hunter Frames

Seer’s first priority was to eliminate all means of human resistance against Sacrosanct. It deemed other hunter frames as the most likely weapon to match and overpower the Asura Series. Thus they began on a campaign to eliminate hunter frames from the world.

The Asura Series had been chosen by Par due to their extended flight capability, and could strike unexpectedly and with great speed. Working off a list of all known hunter frames and their locations, Sacrosanct struck multiple Mobile Cities in a span of months, breaking in and destroying their hunter frames before releasing the virus engineered by Par to ensure that rebuilding would be impossible. Most of the time the victims were caught completely off-guard and unable to defend themselves, and even in the instances when they did, the Geistkinder's superior abilities made a mockery of any resistance. Sacrosanct accomplished its mission of cleansing the world of all hunter frames in less than a year.

### Suppressing Technological Development

After cementing itself as the single most powerful organisation on the globe, Sacrosanct set about casting itself as an adversary that humans needed to overcome. Following the instructions encoded into Seer, they prioritised attacking places like weapon development laboratories and storage areas. They did not respond to attempts to establish communications. The divided human race was no match for the awesome power of the Asura Series and folded beneath its onslaught. Fortunately, the programming of Seer prevented Sacrosanct from overly harming innocent civilians, keeping it from becoming a genocidal terrorist organisation.
