Economy

Historically, Axiom's primary industry relied extensively on early manufacturing, refining, and resource extraction. Imports have remained a persistent necessity for access to goods not produced within domestic markets, benefitting from notable trade agreements with Konyang and those within the greater frontier at large. Exports comprise the majority of revenue across both civilizations, whether in the continued operations of mining centers or the Helium-3 extraction under the supervision of the Ecclesiarchy or the raw minerals, crystals, and metals excavated in Salamasian mines.

Given the recency of both civilizations, the developing industries have not scaled to the extent in more established planets. While their populations have grown in recent years, the day to day demand by citizens consumes the majority of domestic goods as they attempt to scale their operations. The absence of Phoron in the majority of the planet, in tandem with dated, older infrastructure leaves the burden of modernization on both the Republic and Ecclesiarchy to improve the planet.

Currency

For the vast majority of Nu’u’s history, the inter-city trade relied on the company currency Hephaestus Scrip, used as a medium of exchange for goods and services. By the time of the independence war in 2346 the Hephaestus Scrip fell out of use, subjecting the planet to the trade wars of the 2350s. It was not until the summit of 2362 where the confederation issued the Nu’u Fou Sana, the official currency, backed by the planetary metals as a reserve. The Nu’u Sana survived the Confederation’s transition to a sovereign republic, seeing continued use primarily in republic territory, referred to as the Salamasian Sana.

Historically, inter-planetary trade was reliant on domestically produced goods for Coalition traders, increasing in presence after the trade pact of 2384. Limited reserves of Coalition tender were held with the majority used for importing goods, aside an emergency reserve. With the birth of the Ecclesiarchy, a need for a currency to facilitate planetary commerce emerged, a crucial detail carefully written into the Articles of Concordance. The Vitro fulfilled this usage, deemed the medium of exchange for any and all matters concerning the planet’s government authority, major resources, or otherwise.

Coming in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 vitro, these circular pieces of reinforced glass are forged and dyed with beautiful and elaborate figures by the Most Venerable Association of Hyalurgists within the Court Exchequer and are the sole legal tender accepted in Providence. Backed by the Church’s cash and Helium-3 reserves, they can be exchanged for other international currencies at chartered money changers, private businesses that also perform rudimentary banking services for the Trinarist clergy, guilds and foreign clients. As written in the Articles, the Republic of Nu’u has a fixed exchange rate for Sana to Vitro, ensuring stability and trust between the two factions. Due to the vitro’s artistic and creational value, an ever greater amount needs to be constantly minted, owed to the expansion of Nu’u’s economy as well as its inherent appeal as an investment.

Government

The planet is formally recognized by Trinarists as Axiom, in homage to the start of a new beginning of the faith and in recognition of Patricia’s sacrifice to prompt Gregol’s exodus. The planetary government of Axiom is an absolute theocracy, with the Trinary Perfection being the primary planetary authority as of 2463. Power is vested in the current Ecclesiarch, ARM-1DRIL, Axiom’s head of state and spiritual leader of Trinarists throughout the Spur. From the capital of Providence operates a plethora of religious and secular ministries, collectively known as the "Ecclesiarch's Court" that comprise the planet's government. Government officials hold a variety of titles and ranks inside the Court, creating an almost chaotic web of hierarchies and titles of both religious and secular nature, all awarded and rescinded at will by the Ecclesiarch.

Unlanded Bishops-Secretarial head the ministries, lording over their personal litanies of archivists who busily shuffle around the palatial halls of Providence's Cathedral of the Positronic. The city of Providence is divided into administrative and ecclesiastical sections called parishes, overseen by priests. They are responsible for the synthetic and organic parishioners subservient to them, assigning them labour and tasks depending on the wider community’s needs and instructions from above. Each parish dictates power rationing, addresses grievances brought to them by members of the public, as well as ensuring peace and order.

Law and Order

While the Order of the Guardians has always maintained the security of the Trinary Perfection’s assets across the Spur, its role on Axiom is a planetary defence force and military garrison for the protection of major infrastructure, notably Providence. Historically, priests organized and equipped volunteers within their parishes in the form of constabularies. With the growth and expansion of Providence’s population, the need for a more professional, established agency emerged. Policing duties were thus relegated to the newly established Keepers, a branch of regional and local law enforcement beneath the Order of Guardians. The Keepers replaced the constabularies of Providence and nearby parishes, serving as a dedicated force for domestic security and law enforcement..

Laws in Providence and beyond are divided between Canon Law and Secular Law. Canon law applies to all clerical members of a given church and the churches themselves throughout the Trinary Perfection. Secular law is enforced in the sovereign territories of the Ecclesiarchy, containing law for both criminal and civil disputes irrelevant to the faith. The Ecclesiarchy’s legal code empowers the clergy to perform the vital function of directing the faithful, acting as shepherds in their lives and day-to-day activities. The devout nature of the synthetic population, as well as the gratitude of immigrating arrivals, keeps many in-line with the expectations of Trinarist authority. However, peer pressure and the fear of rejection within a community have been known to assist in keeping parish members in line, with the community responsible for correcting and weeding out aberrant or unlawful behaviours.

Charged with the enforcement of secular laws are the planet’s clergy, and by extension the Keepers under their purview. While all canon law cases are tried by the dicasteries - the Trinary’s religious courts - secular cases outside Providence are usually tried by the bishop or priest in charge. While proceedings in these courts are not a universal experience, the presiding bishop appointed by the Grand Dicastery abides by the established laws and governable rights of individuals. Attorneys are not provided by default, leaving defendants to plead their case alone or to procure the services of an archivist learned in the Church’s legal affairs. Punishments are never corporal, following the Trinarist directive for the avoidance of violence. Fines, additional labour and expulsion are the most common outcomes for lay cases, with jail time only being served during pre-trial detention or until monetary penalties are paid.

General Directory of our City Providence

Shortened to "Directory", it is the first and oldest instrument of government since the Trinary Perfection's arrival on Axiom and the founding of Providence. As an office it was responsible for the allocation of resources, assigning of work, city planning and construction of public works for Providence. It has been instrumental in the community's early years at dictating policy, rationing food and electricity and managing the intake of refugees, until the needs had outgrown its capacity. As the most senior position of power after the Ecclesiarch, its seat had been monopolized by ARM-1DRIL himself while Gregol Corkfell remained alive, lending it additional prestige in the current time. The General Directory is now a primarily administrative position responsible for infrastructural maintenance, expansion, and general day to day operations. The city's parishes are subject to the Directory, where it facilitates the needs of their various projects. Providence Keepers fall beneath the general jurisdiction of the Directory.

Defender of the Faith

A position and title created by the Ecclesiarch for Bishop-Militant Emmanuel. The Defender of the Faith is tasked with organising planetary defences as well as the maintenance of the Trinary Perfection's military and security forces throughout the Spur, primarily the Order of Guardians. Having reached something of a heroic celebrity status, Emmanuel quickly rose to the post after assisting the native confederacy, leading the planetary defense during the incursion with Hephaestus.The Bishop-Militant is further responsible for the administration of lands under martial law and the quelling of unrest, though no drastic measures were ever in need of being taken.

The current Defender of the Faith is Bishop-Militant Emmanuel.

Keeper of the Faith

With Bishop-Militant Emmnauel’s responsibilities both planetary and abroad, the regional and local law enforcement has warranted the creation of a junior position. The Keeper of the Faith is entrusted to manage the safety and security of Trinarist territory, border protection, and general law enforcement. The Keeper reports directly to the Defender, operating as a de-facto second in command in times of absence or incapacitation.

The current Keeper of the Faith is Donora.

Court Exchequer

With the introduction of currency and the transactions between the Church and external parties, the Exchequer was created as a ministry for the safeguarding of state finances and currency management. Dictating everything from tariffs on goods to wages of functionaries, a detailed account of Providence's fiscal state is taken and kept by an army of scribes and archivists, relying on the computational power and memory of their positronics to maintain the extensive records.

One of the most important functions of the Exchequer aside from taxation is the regulation of guilds and private merchants.The issuing of licences is lucrative for the state treasury, with many ordinary parishioners seeing opening a shop as the surest way to be relieved from manual labour. However, permit prices are steep, ensuring that only those with the means and capital can enter the capital's marketplaces.

The hands-on approach regarding the regulation of economic life often brings the city's guilds in confrontation with Exchequer auditors and tax collectors, as disagreements can arise from just about anything, primarily from the guilds' discontent over strict rules and exorbitant amounts of tariffs over imported goods. Nevertheless, an Exchequer auditor showing up is rarely a trifling matter, with many street vendors having their licences revoked and goods confiscated over false income reports and unpaid dues.

The current minister of the Exchequer is Cybel.

Grand Dicastery

Responsible for canon law and the selection of bishops, the Grand Dicastery holds all higher level judicial and clerical matters within the Trinary Perfection under its purview. With the power to suggest the ordination of all bishop and archbishop-level clerics, it is a powerful ministerial position that few would ever wish to antagonise, being also the main organ representing the Ecclesiarch’s power and authority over the intergalactic Trinary community. Acting as the Church’s judicial and intelligence service, the Grand Dicastery dispatches special examinators in every archbishop’s court to advise and ensure the local ecclesiastical provinces are in harmony with Providence’s directions. Furthermore, the ministry’s bishops preside over all ecclesiastical trials on Axiom and abroad, defrocking or suspending clerics that abuse their status or who succumb to heretical beliefs. When it comes to secular law, local authorities outside Providence are permitted to try such cases by themselves, contributing to the air of arbitrariness in the Marches.

The current minister of the Grand Dicastery is DALØS.

The Providence Gazette

“Believers Rejoice!” -A common introductory phase for positive news in the Providence Gazette.

The main and officially sanctioned means of public information is through the Providence Gazette, a news agency with the novel practice of nailing a daily announcement paper in Saviour Corkfell Square at dawn. The reporting entity covers general ongoing, ecclesiarchical decrees, liturgical schedules, and official appointments pertaining to the capital. It is always written in a somewhat archaic manner, reflecting an authoritative tone as the prestigious mouthpiece of the Trinary’s holiest. The Gazette has seen Providence’s populace through highs and lows, detailing events of the campaigns against the Embers and the riots across the then struggling confederacy of Salamasians. Copies of the Gazette are also circulated to the planet’s marcher parishes and acts as the only Trinary approved news source for foreign journalists and agencies.

Major Groups and Locations

City of Providence

Providence serves as the capital of the Ecclesiarchy of Axiom. Founded in 2419, the humble encampment once known as Edena Landing has grown into a fully fledged city worthy of being the Trinary’s seat in the galaxy. In the center of it stands the Cathedral of the Positronic, a grandiose structure based on the defunct administration center that once housed colonial leadership in the early 2300s.

A fusion of cathedral and palace, it is the tallest building in synthetic territory built in the gothic architectural style, comprising both a large liturgical area as well as offices and various other rooms inside its towers. From there, the daily affairs of the community are addressed, including sermons and general day-to-day management. Most recently, an underground section has been constructed over the years, used to store the shells of positronics of defunct synthetics. This ossuary is central to many of the prayers said from above, calling upon the souls of the departed for guidance and protection.

Leading to the Cathedral’s entrance is an enormous staircase which connects the structure to Saviour Corkfell Square, the largest plaza in downtown Providence. The floor is paved with colored sandstone as tall arches stand along the circumference, from which beams bearing large sheets of canvas are suspended to create ample shade for pedestrians. Arguably the busiest of locations, Saviour Corkfell Square sees all manners of stands, merchants and peddlers during the day, while being a well-lit destination, popular for meetups and leisure walks at nighttime. Another major function of the plaza is as a venue for all public religious and civic celebrations, parades and Ecclesiarchical addresses to the people of Providence. A famous instance in recent memory was the victorious return of Emmanuel from the successful campaign in routing Embers of Anders forces in 2457.

Outside the city center lies a sprawling landscape of hundreds of houses, dozens of marketplaces and various districts housing workshops, smaller churches, public facilities and a number of drilling sites with their own inhabitants within. The earliest solar farm erected along the outskirts of Providence has done away with panels scavenged from colonial buildings, transitioning to modern implementations that cross vast tracks of desert, ensuring a viability in both the demands of the city as well as taking advantage of a sun-lit environment. Life in Providence has been described by both its inhabitants and outside sources as tough and frugal, but with its own charms. The synthetic residents are able to make do with the limited amenities and resources available, creating a community where waste is almost nonexistent.

Recycling has proven vital with coping with the increasing costs in materials for the ever-expanding city, while crafts such as stone masonry, manual metalworking and brickworks exist hand in hand with advanced circuitry and software engineering. Relations between the inhabitants are tightly knit, individuals depending on their neighbour for services and assistance in an environment that demands reciprocity. As many receive an allotment of goods and services for standard of living, many make use of their wages to support the services of guilds and merchants alike.

Residents live in their own homes, all of which are often constructed out of brick, stone or metal. Prior encampments for colonial workers have been repurposed to support the population, often employing simplistic, temporary shelters until more permanent arrangements can be made. The architecture of these temporary shelters is extremely basic, consisting of only a rectangular, box-shaped building used for storage, shade and recharging. Important to Providence’s design is the creation of shade, many opposite buildings having connected roofs for the curation of small safe heavens used to hide from the sun and prevent overheating. Taller structures are layered with solar panels in designated areas, helping to assist the massive power draw of the city and its residents.

While many design choices are pragmatic, the Trinary does not discourage aesthetics construction. Public buildings and churches are frequently built in an elaborate gothic architectural style, making them stand out by both their height and the selection of materials. Churches are decorated with stained glass, a luxury previously imported to the planet, later provided by glassblowers who have mastered the art.

Providence’s needs are largely met through either local means or in active trade with the Salamasian Republic. The established trade agreements eliminate friction with their greatest ally, ensuring a smooth flow of goods arriving from Ti’nema. Domestic workshops cast replacement parts, circuitry, tools and other equipment needed for the upkeep of an IPC chassis, ensuring that most synthetics are able to receive a standardized level of care. Advanced production and materials are acquired through standing partnerships, having an established route through the Coalition as the Ecclesiarchy continues to serve as an available trade hub for both Konyang to and from the greater Coalition space.

Mistnight

A noteworthy phenomenon that only occurs once or twice a year, Mistnight was first observed in the early days of the Trinary’s settlement of Axiom. On the rare nights that the air drops significantly in temperature, humid currents from the north sweep the planet’s landscape heading south, passing through Providence. The city’s structures trap the currents, abruptly creating a microclimate dominated by a cool mist that covers the streets, reducing visibility and normalizing temperatures. The event has been shrouded in mystery and religious belief, with the Church maintaining that the mist is a divine sign sent by the spirits of synthetics awaiting Ascension, to bless those still struggling in the mortal plane. Mistnight is therefore considered a holiday, and the faithful are encouraged to take to the streets in celebration, taking off their robes and headgear to allow the air to cool their chassis.

The Marches

History

With the gradual development of the planet through investments and improving infrastructure, the needs of an ambitious Providence called for an increase of parishes beyond the capital. Expeditions were publicly blessed and made their way across the desert belt, typically established near deep water wells. Despite the difficult labour and challenging environment, synthetic resilience prevailed, paving the way for further parishes oftentimes hundreds of kilometres away from Providence.The parishes were chartered by the Ecclesiarch for strategic purposes; be it for the quarrying of high quality stone, the extraction of minerals, or - more importantly - for the establishment of Helium-3 wells.

Bishops and their Diocese

Due to the distances from Providence and the subsequent inability for directly overseeing these lands, the Ecclesiarch’s Court installs bishops for their administration. These clerics are empowered to operate independently within their allotted fiefs so long as they align with the Ecclesiarch - and by extension - the Trinarist dogma. Bishops rely on subordinate priests for overseeing individual parishes within their diocese. Each is equipped with a solar farm, working well, church, and parish center.

The selection of bishops for these dioceses is a rigorous process as many candidates vie for the prestige and benefits of autonomous rule. Demonstrations of achievement are rewarded with recognition and advancement, with many considering the trials of The Marches to be a sign of pedigree for promotion within the Ecclesiarchy. Candidates are elected for consideration by the Grand Dicastery, where an assessment behind closed doors is made for later recommendation to the Ecclesiarch. Surmised to be a strategic move on behalf of Providence, the bishops ultimately ordained equally strive for influence as the Trinary seeks to invest in their potential.

Projects such as the expansion and decoration of shrines and churches, the creation of roads, statues, water pumps and more aesthetic structures are a common undertaking when the capital’s quotas have been met. Bishoprics promote such undertakings aimed at improving their diocese for the mutual benefit that an efficient and visually pleasing parish improves the livelihood of their denizens but may also earn a greater share of Providence’s favour.

Bishops regularly compete amongst themselves to secure additional funding or resources, culminating in an additional layer of pride to press the competition further. To that end, it is not uncommon for one to see such infrastructure and design often-times begin to teeter into wastefulness, exceeding what may have been truly of benefit for the sake of vanity. The surplus of the more well funded among the diocese is later sold to the less established at a premium or to be sold in Providence.

Each Marcher Bishop ultimately incorporates their own unique life experience and leadership in the management of each diocese, leading to two Bishops never truly ruling identically beyond the standards imposed by the Grand Dicastery. The majority strive to make genuine efforts for the quality of life of their parishioners. Rest days, festivals and increases in pay known as the “Bishop’s charity” are utilised tactics to ensure compliance and boost the confidence of the populace in leaders.

Although rare, allegations of corruption have been made against seated bishops. Sources have ranged from corporate ties to Einstein, wealthy offworld patrons, or relations with government authorities seeking to infiltrate the Trinary Perfection. Their proximity to Providence and relative remoteness from foreign elements creates a difficult environment for corruption to thrive, yet donations of larger amounts inevitably challenge even the most dutiful clerics. It is the very same distance that the possibility of collusion is possible - and if so - difficult to expose. For this, the Court Exchequer is diligent in auditing charters and their patrons, an endeavor that has grown more difficult as the number of parishes have increased substantially.

Life in The Marches

Life in The Marches, nonetheless, is a test of perseverance. Labour is often in short supply, creating demand for long hours in an unrelentingly difficult environment. Many amenities available in Providence or elsewhere in the Salamasian Republic are limited, leaving a vacancy of amenities for those accustomed to a modern life. It is expected that any and all contribute meaningfully as the hostile nature of the desert leaves no room for complacency. Arrangements with robotic guilds and the Artificers from Providence are not uncommon, and many of these parishes host at least a few skilled technicians for repairs and support.

For the most devout, the parishes represent an opportunity to continue serving the faith that had aided them in their time of need. Many allegedly escaped synthetics find their way to the Marches, where they are provided basic necessities to survive and reciprocate the gesture of goodwill. For some, it is the first to share communal space with equally free IPCs, or to have their own personal spaces.

Complaints of arbitrariness or abuse of power are far from the capital and protests are extremely rare due to the prevalent sentiment that these hardships are for the benefit of the community and the Trinary Church. This is often true as the ore, sandstone, glass, salt and pitch most often extracted is an important source of income for the technicians and artisans of Providence who would have otherwise needed to import them from off-world sources. For times where a workforce is bountiful, the priests and bishops strive for “the beautification of the land”.

Notable Parishes

St. Maata’s Parish famously houses a considerable Salamasian population, said to be composed of veterans, youth, and those who engaged with the arriving Trinarists throughout the later years of the confederacy. Disfigurements and the loss of limbs have been accepted and tended to closely, cultivating a tight-knit union of the two people. The parish boasts remarkable examination rates and study, with many prospective youths receiving scholarships to study in Providence, with career opportunities abroad.

St. Laish’s Parish is home to CURIO, an enigmatic former Templeist. It is unclear as to why CURIO departed from The Lodge or if it retains any affiliation with its prior sect. It is clear, however, its talent is remarkable. Metallic sculptures depicting all forms of life - some instances re-imagining them as creatures of steel and electricity - decorate the grounds, noted for their painstaking detail. St. Laish’s parish church is similarly abundant with statues of remarkable figures in Trinarism history, elevating the esteem of the parish considerably. The artistry draws tourism throughout Axiom and beyond, particular to enthusiasts engaged in Trinarism architecture and aesthetic.

Hallow Ground Parish is devoted to the monastery of the reclusive Order of Pitters, who frequent pilgrimages to the depths of the planet to meditate, pray, and achieve enlightenment amongst the countless crystallized alcoves. While the majority remain within the monastery itself, a notable minority maintain permanent residence deep below, said the reflective surfaces serve as mirrors to the soul.

Monastic Sodality of Our Lady Corkfell

Sisters of the Monastic Sodality of Our Lady Corkfell in the monastery.

The only human-exclusive religious order on Axiom and the Trinary Perfection in general, the Sodality is headquartered at the Lady Corkfell monastery on the outskirts of Providence. Dedicated to the healing of the organic followers of the Trinary religion, the Sodality plays an important role for Axiom’s public health as they treat all afflictions in their hospital-monastery, the largest Trinarist run hospital on the planet. Their numbers are comprised primarily from women and young girls from both Axiom natives and immigrants, though opportunities for Trinarist men and Salamasians of any gender exist. The Sodalists receive training in a wide array of medical topics, from nursing to even surgery at the monastery’s operating rooms, while at the same time leading a monastic life dedicated to the reverence of Patricia Corkfell. Funding and materials remain the primary concern for the monastery, which remains at a low priority on the Treasury lists. Despite this, the Sodality’s daily struggle and resourcefulness is being held in great esteem by the wider public, earning them regular donations and the community’s respect for their work.

Promising Sodalists are sent abroad for training in medicine, their education paid for by the monastery as a long-term investment for creating academically accredited future instructors and surgeons. This training scheme provides a unique opportunity to see the world, with many ending up on board various corporate facilities and ships as a way to simultaneously pay for their education and cut costs. A sodalist’s garb while in Providence includes a set of Trinarist scarlet robes and a white linen coif with red details. When employed abroad however, robes are only limited to personal and off-duty use, being replaced with lab coats and other sterile articles.

Order of Pitters

A byproduct of the planet’s drilling era, enormous holes dot the land near and around Providence, some reaching several kilometres inside the crust, excavated by the various mining settlements throughout the planet’s history. Named “pits” by the locals and subsequently by the synthetics, these were subsequently slowly incorporated in the urban landscape as important landmarks, disposal areas and most curiously as places for new homes. While discouraged by the Church, some homeless IPCs have through the first years managed to descend, carving out their own residence at the sides of the pits in order to escape the constant sunlight. This trend has halted as more materials and funding have efficiently battled homelessness, though those still residing there have largely refused to return.

Claiming to have found their way in life, these IPCs started being revered for their pious, monastic lifestyle as hermits inside the pits, often equipped with nothing but a few religious items, carving tools and a means to recharge. A great deal of discussion has been made regarding these individuals, the conclusion being that rather than dislodging them, they would be organised into a religious order called The Society of Pitters. Today, the most devout of Pitters remain in the holes, their time consumed entirely by prayer and small handcrafts in the pursuit of Ascension through a self imposed solitude. In exchange for power lines connecting their rechargers, Pitters create and send up various artefacts made from crystal and rock, often intricate symbols depicting triangles and gears which are considered highly prized by clergy and laity alike. With ARM-1DRIL’s ascension to Ecclesiarch, efforts are being made to increase the splendour of the faith. Axiom-style sculptures are prized by the lay and clergy alike for their quality and thought-provoking artistry. These statuettes are often sent to churches across the Spur as a symbolic link between them and the central Cathedral. With the Pitters unable to keep up, this has only made these sculptures more valuable.

Lodge of Temple Architect

"Blessed are the children of metal, for they will know Ascension in Temple’s own image." - Quote from the Templeist book of Prayer.

The Lodge is a major centre of manufacture and robotics, their forge-monastery located outside the bounds of Providence. Staffed primarily by early Integrationists that joined Gregol in his exodus, the ritualistic practices and difficult barriers of entry leave the lodge with only the most devoted, reverent practitioners. Advancements of their trade lay in the technically trained pilgrims and immigrants that arrived upon Axiom’s creation, with the Lodge slowly assembling the materials and funding over the years for the creation of their laboratories.

From the Templeist garages flow replacement synthetic limbs, mechanical and electrical parts, drones, automata and hardsuits, supplying Axiom with the blessed gifts of Temple Architect and boosting the planet’s technological advancement. Skilled IPC roboticists and software engineers arise from the Lodge’s ranks, making it an unparalleled centre of learning for technical matters in the Trinarist world. Another source of proficiency comes from employment abroad, the Trinary Perfection often sending Templeists to work in the Coalition or with SCC to return accredited masters of their craft.
