Puritans

The Puritans are a militant cult against all modifications of the "true" human form. It is their belief that genetic and cybernetic enhancements violate the divinity of the human body. They are a small sect, but extremely powerful and well-organized, and claim territory in two star systems and several outersystem stations. The systems in question are not accommodating to human life, and there has been little attempt by other powers to take control of them, but the Puritans are still able to make enough money off of mining and station services to keep their organization running.
