Prayer, recitation, and study are important parts of everyday life, and as study involves ruins, relics, and ancient technology much of their religious activity has pragmatic consequences. The Unfallen have only ever known their homeworld of Koyasil, preferring to peacefully study what is near rather than discover what is far. As they were saved from extinction by the technology of the Virtual Endless, it is only natural that they in turn worship these all-powerful precursors as gods. An ancient race who have lived simple, harmonious lives for millennia, the Unfallen seek peace with the other races of the galaxy. Vodyani society is organized as a formal and hierarchical church that worships the Virtual branch of the Endless. Though their civilization has become tied to their great starfaring Arks, Tchinomy remains a powerful symbol both as a lesson in ecology and as a memory of the weak and grotesque forms the Vodyani had before Virtual technology allowed them to evolve beyond that.

As a result, the Vodyani were driven into space by necessity and already have a long history as a ship-bound people. Tchinomy, the home planet of the Vodyani, was a poor yet temperate world, and the fragility of its environment meant it was soon depleted. The Sophons are a very 'vanilla' faction which only differentiates themselves with some simple bonuses rather than extensive alterations to the game mechanics.

This person, drawn from one of the powerful organizations that make up Vodyani society, is the ultimate authority for both religious and secular affairs. While there are many sprawling departments and executives within the Church of the Virtual Saints to handle the functions of running a starfaring civilization, there is only one ultimate authority - the Hierarch. Clothed in their great black suits of borrowed technology, Vodyani leaders pilot their great Arks across the star lanes, seeking other peoples to convert, control, and consume. These precursors quickly gained an aura of divinity in the eyes of the Vodyani, and are now worshiped as gods. Victims of a classic cycle of over-industrialization, the Vodyani were saved by technology culled from ruins of the Virtual Endless.
