From the devastation of the Bion Wars, new cultures emerged. Though shaped by shared trauma, they diverged sharply in ideology, survival strategy, and belief. Modern Anderia is defined by two principal cultures and six classifications within the current population.
In Rev PC.96, a fringe collective of elitists united around the synthesis of science and religion, calling themselves the Jebus Group. Through disciplined genetic research and theological reinterpretation, they sought to restore purity and order to a broken world.
Over time, the group perfected genetic fabrication, abandoning natural reproduction in favor of engineered birth. They later adopted the name Con-Servs, dedicated to continually serving their god and community. Central to their belief system is faith in an unseen creator known as the One, whom they revere as the Designer and Creator of All Things.
Since Rev PC.425, the majority of Con-Servs have resided above Anderia in orbital temples known as Celestium Sanctuaries. A portion of their population remains on the surface within the restored city of Jebus Templum, also referred to as the temple city.
Con-Servs are fabricated through genetic construction and birthed in laboratories, eliminating conventional pregnancy and gestation. Despite being engineered, every Con-Serv is fully hugenic and a genetically distinct individual, never duplicated. Aside from a finite lifespan, they exhibit no known defects or disease and live in hermetically sealed environments sustained by closed-loop biosystems. Poverty is unknown, crime is rare, and wealth is unnecessary. All goods and services are contributed freely, resulting in a society characterized by abundance, stability, and purpose.
Every Con-Serv belongs to one of six gens, each representing a distinct cultural ethnicity. All gens are unified by their commitment to community, science, and mech, fully integrated with religious devotion to the One.
The six gens share allegiance to a representative Governance Council comprising twelve Archons, high-priesthood figures who oversee judicial authority and serve as generals in military operations.
The Journey is among the most sacred milestones in Con-Serv life, representing the maturation of faith and communal belonging. Undertaken between the ages of thirty and thirty-three, it is considered both a spiritual obligation and a privilege, culminating at Jebus Templum on Anderia’s surface. Central to the experience is the voluntary Cleansing—a sacred rite participants are taught to embrace as the purification of spiritually harmful memories, disordered thoughts, and wayward behaviors accumulated during their first thirty revs. Upon returning, pilgrims commonly experience a period of quietude or disorientation, understood within Con-Serv culture as settling—a natural recalibration following profound spiritual immersion. This expectation is so deeply embedded in tradition that behavioral changes in returning pilgrims, including memory irregularities, are rarely questioned and are often celebrated as evidence of a transformative encounter with the One.
Three distinct classes, each racially diverse, possess varying innate talents and predisposed behavioral traits. The total Con-Serv population is approximately 46,200, evenly distributed across seven locations: the six operational Celestium Sanctuaries, each exclusive to a single gen, and the city of Jebus Templum, which maintains an equitable representation of all six gens.
Non-Con-Serv populations who dwell on Anderia’s surface are collectively known as inhabiters. Their total numbers are uncertain, with estimates suggesting fewer than 600,000 individuals scattered across habitable regions. Approximately 144,000 inhabiters live within a 600-milledia radius of Jebus Templum, comprising the following classes:
