Known colloquially as the Professors, this is a small regional congregation found on the planet Shān. They hold to the main tenets of the Church of Humanity Repentant, but stress the importance of action in the face of inequality.
Founded by the eccentric Dr. Mei Bai, the Professors are a relatively young sect. 42 years ago, after the coups that led to the liberation of his people, the doctor was wandering the deserted fringes of his native climate-dome. Lost in thought and still conflicted over his betrayal of the royal family, Mei Bai stumbled and fell into a sinkhole. Alone with his copy of the Records, Mei Bai was lost to the world for seven days, feeding on crickets and rainwater. As the days blurred into nights, Mei Bai was visited by the lost spirits of the alien species who had been completely eliminated by humanity's push into Acheron Roh. They heard his cries of penitence, and comforted him, whispering that he had been forgiven the moment he felt pity for their folk. On the seventh day, a spirit in the form of the lemur Yi Ge pushed a thick vine over the edge of the pit, giving Mei Bai his means of escape.
After his brush with the Void, Dr. Mei Bai began to preach the truth of forgiveness without cease. Members of the sect attempt, through meditative practice, to communicate with the spirits who visited Mei Bai. The crumbling facilities of the colony have begun to stress the available food supply, but their faith has so far kept them together.
