Fiction:Cult of the Spider

"Why fight or conquer? These nations of the world, of Earth, fight, destroy and ruin the world around you, the people of other nations. For that reason, and many others, we are not here to dabble in conquest and war, but merely to experience everything the universe can offer us, and push our knowledge and skills to the limit. This is what human existence is for, not to kill, but to learn more."

- Adept Jonathan

The Cult of the Spider, otherwise known as the Spider Cult of Mars, Tech-Cult of Mars and The Artisans of Mars, are a semi-secret network and cult of artists, musicians, scientists and tech-experts, who, escaping the violence of Earth during World War 3, fights between the Scandinavian nations and the European Republic and other nations of Earth lead the members that would become the Spider Cult of Mars to flee their nations, and settle upon the newly colonized ground of, seeking not just freedom from the wars and bloodshed, but to push the experience of art, knowledge and their abilities without hte limits of government and such, and to strengthen their knowledge of the world, advancing science without the need of war. Due to this, the Cult of Mars came to encompass a small but dedicated population.

Leaving Earth and the Sol System along with the rest of the Earth, the Spider Cult took to their grand vehicles, the Stardust-Class Arks, and took to the stars and traveled from the stars to stars, exchanging knowledge, artistic ideals and others to grow their knowledge, share it, and push their artistic abilities with painting, music, film and other fields, wishing to not have limit by societal ideals and limitations from other nations, coming to take knowledge and share intelligence with any nations that are willing to share such with them. As such, the Cult of Mars is less of a nation like many others, such as the European Star Republic or the, but a movement of various figures and gatherings that seek to achieve further and further knowledge and artistry for the betterment of humanity.
