Narquel (0709 Diaspora A1109DG-F): This planet's
state religion is known as the Panamica Orthodoxy, a radical offshoot of
the Panamica creed. In its original form, the Panamica creed interwove
the gentler tenets of Judeo-Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, and
various animistic traditions of old Terra.
The new Panamica Orthodoxy is essentially militant pacifism: all sophonts
must submit to the infinite wisdom and goodness of the Unknowable One and
its secular ministers.
Narquel's last Theocrat was deposed by his Council of
Ministers, who now rule as the Theocratic Administrate. Their desire to
convert the universe is being conducted with a particularly aggressive
flair, and some observers wonder if the ministers of the Administrate are
simply using the creed of the Orthodoxy as a shield for their own political
adventurism. -AGD
