Brother or sister

Whatever you believed before, we are here to tell you there is only one path. Believe in us and we believe in you.

Reliance, seek the truth

We have to find it on our own, but we are not without help. The Faith brought together a group of wealthy aristocrats, which will put all their ships and resources behind this undertaking, for we believe there is an ascended race out there far more powerful than anything that has been discovered before.

Their name “Rebound”. For this, we will need to search at the fringes of the known universe dig up ancient artifacts and do whatever is necessary to uncover their Homeworld.

We will find them and plead for their assistance, for we need their power to take down the Vanduul once and for all.

Only together we might be able to get to them in time.

Only together!

We the Reliance

DETERMINED

• to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war with the race known as the Vanduul, which in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind

• to reaffirm faith in humans, in the dignity and worth of the human race, in the equal rights of men and women and of Organisations large and small

• to promote better standards of life in larger freedom for all members

AND FOR THESE ENDS
