Who are They?

The Children of Mekhane (also known as Mekhanites or simply The Children) are a new-age religious organization based on the principles of both human and alien spiritual teachings, improvements upon nature’s designs, and spiritual unification through the advancement of technology. Their symbol is the Tau Cross.

Their physical influence spans a little more than a dozen solar systems, upon which most of their tech is produced and The Mekhanite Council, the ruling body of the church, dwell. Their spiritual influence is far larger, however. Enlightening stellar communities and setting up chapels and churches all across SolGov space and beyond.

Mekhane itself is not a god in the traditional sense. The Children define Mekhane as the spirit behind the technology they create and utilise. They are seeking to create the “Perfect machine” through the church itself, but it is not yet finished. Children of mekhane are the cogs and wheels within it, working eternally towards perfection. “Children of a god that has yet to be born.”

The Children are not, however, a religion with a strict code of beliefs, Followers are encouraged to believe whatever they wish provided they also believe in Mekhane and the church’s goals. Many religions have found common ground with the Children, and it is not uncommon to find Children of Mekhane who are also devout believers of other faiths. The church encourages Mekhanites to incorporate their own spiritual teachings and rituals into the rituals of Mekhanism.
