Environmental Zealots

 

Solar Purity is a radical group dedicated to the belief that humans should not be on this side of the Conduit. They believe that humans should have remained in the region surrounding Earth. Members feel that, since humans are now trapped on this side of the wormhole, they should attempt to keep the worlds as pristine as possible.

 

Solar Purity believes that humans are, by their presence, a destructive force to the natural order in the Clement Sector. They point to the fact that no living intelligent life has been found in the Clement Sector. They believe this signifies that the universe did not want intelligent life in this region and that humans interfered with the pristine nature of these worlds by expanding the Conduit.

 

Members of the organization are often seen protesting mining operations (both on worlds and in planetoid belts) and the importation of non-native plants and animals. These protests are usually benign, but there have been instances of violence.

 

The more moderate members of Solar Purity believe that humans should live in harmony with nature. These members believe that human exploitation of the worlds, planetoid belts, and gas giants in the sector should be stopped. Most of these members are confident that changes can be made through political influence in The Hub Federation and other worlds where elections are present.

 

The more radical members of the organization believe that human life must be removed from the Clement Sector for good. Many believe that the human presence must be reduced by any means necessary and then placed in ships to be sent back to Earth. While such a journey would take an enormous amount of time, these members firmly believe that such actions would preserve the Clement Sector.

 

Most members of Solar Purity are between these two positions and eschew violence. However, members of all sides often attend the same rallies and meetings. This allows critics to often paint the group with a broad brush.
