	===Void Travel===		===Void Travel===

	Luceians may sometimes venture into the Void in an attempt to either survey it or unravel its mysteries, a feat which is the equivalent of marching into Hell itself. The Church condemns those who voluntarily enter the Void for travel or for otherwise superficial reasons, but understand the necessity of its importance in Assunzione’s research. It is for this reason that only science and rescue vessels with the blessing of the Church are allowed, legally, to venture into the Void. Even so, there are several preparations one and one’s ship must make to make the journey. A ship and all its crew must receive blessings and talismans from the Church for protection, and all warding spheres carried by the ship’s crew must be swapped and replaced for new ones. Even after preparations are made, Luceians are prohibited from leaving the protection of their ship to venture into the Sea on EVA, and expeditions into its borders can only last for up to 60 days, not including transit, before it is said that the Church’s protection wears off.

	Vessels traveling into the Sea under Church protection are said to often encounter near-miss experiences in which they narrowly are saved, either by fortune or by actions of the crew; feats attributed to Ennoia and its guidance protecting those even who journey into the Void. It is said, however, that those who enter the Void without protection typically do not return, either succumbing to mysterious phenomena inside the region, or crashing into debris or an asteroid they could not see. Regardless, the stories of the countless ships and souls who became lost in the Void deter all but the most determined explorers or rescuers from ever stepping foot inside it.

	Spiritually-oriented Dionae gestalts are especially attracted to Luceism due to the species’ shared affinity for light and stars. Due to their nature having them use starlight to prosper and thrive, Luceians of both major chapters generally regard Dionae positively and welcome them into the faith.		Spiritually-oriented Dionae gestalts are especially attracted to Luceism due to the species’ shared affinity for light and stars. Due to their nature having them use starlight to prosper and thrive, Luceians of both major chapters generally regard Dionae positively and welcome them into the faith.

	~~Following the integration of Dionae into the Coalition, gestalts are permitted access to the Ecclesiarchy and may become Keepers or even Wardens, though they are not yet allowed to be Luminaries.~~

	The fundamentals of Luceism and the Eternal are alike, both having a reverence for light in which they hold the view it is the personified existence of their deity. Luceism’s worship of the light has drawn many Dionae to the faith; mostly from the perspective of curiosity as opposed to actually partaking in its practices. Some hold the belief that Ennoia is merely a human understanding of the Eternal, resulting in some syncretization between the two religions – despite the Omnivirate’s declaration that the practice of the religion would be apostasy; creating a rather tense relationship between the clergy of both faiths.

	Before one becomes a fully ordained Luceian priest in the Pyramidical tradition one must first be educated in a seminary which can take upwards of four years. Following the completion of a hopeful priest’s seminary schooling they are ordained in a Luceian temple and complete their ascension to the priesthood of Luceism. Priest, in Luceism, is considered a gender-neutral term used by both male and female clergy. Astructuralists vary in their requirements to become a religious leader due to their decentralized nature, but many follow a structure of apprenticeships in which a leader will train a follower to assume his or her position in the future; in essence, handing down their piety and traditions to their successors.

	Above the typical priests of Pyrimidal Luceism are the seven Head Keepers of Luceism, the men and women responsible for maintaining the seven metropolitans of Luceism. With each metropolitan corresponding to one of the seven great domed cities, the Head Keepers wield an incredible amount of influence in Luceism - even, arguably, amongst Astructuralists. While the Head Keepers are considered to be equals, the Head Keeper of Malaga is considered to be something of a, “first among equals,'' due to the city’s status as the birthplace of the faith. The Head Keepers are elected by the priests of their metropolitans for five year terms.

	Between the Head Keepers and simple priests rest the Keepers of Luceism, those individuals entrusted with the running of an officially consecrated Luceian religious site. Keepers are typically experienced priests or charismatic newcomers, as they must be elected by the clergy under them after the “period of grace,” following the first five years after a new site has been officially consecrated by the faith. Before a Keeper is elected, the founding priest will serve as an interim Keeper of the site. Due to this system of elections the list of Keepers is constantly changing and shifting as new ones come into favor and old ones fall out of it.

	An unusual syncretic religion originating upon the planet of Assunzione, Luceism is a quasi-Abrahamic religion descended from a variety of faiths held by the original colonists that first emerged following the unexpected extinguishing of Assunzione’s star in 2274. While arguably a branch of modern Abrahamic religions, Luceism is a hard-to-define religion dedicated to the worship of an abstract representation of light referred to as the Ennoia. Though it is, unsurprisingly, strongest on Assunzione, followers of the faith can be found throughout the Orion Spur alongside their houses of worship.
