Description A technocratic pseudo-religion in the inner worlds. Atomic priests have a superstitious fear and admiration of nuclear radiation and atomic weapons. They frequently make pilgrimages to earth to visit "holy trinity", a place historians believe that the first atomic bombs were used. The preisthood is also famous for its idiosyncratic use of gene-engineered, bioluminescent cats as Geiger counters.

The "church" was founded in the 31st century to preserve knowledge of radioactivity in case of a technological dark age. Ironically they ended up forgetting what nuclear power was and began worshiping it as some kind of supernatural force. They belive radiation hurts you because you are sinful must cover yourself in a hazmat suit to be modest. Their space ships and technology are repaired by poorly understood maintainace rituals.
