When the UN invaded the Freehold of Grainne, the intent was simple: Force a noncompliant star nation back into the collective.

When he learns of a twisted congregation operating within the shadows, one which believes that the tech-priests are keeping people from their true salvation, he sees in them an opportunity to bring down Morod's masters and reclaim the world in the name of progress.
