Devotion

Devotion is a planet located in the region of space known as The Triangle, and is currently a member of the Affiliation of Outer Free Worlds.

This planet was settled by a group of Humans known as the Children of the Covenant, a splinter religious sect whose origins are on Earth. Members of the sect are against the use of advanced technology in manufacturing and agriculture. As a result, no advanced technology can be found on Devotion. Instead, settlers are each skilled craftsmen and capable of precision and detail beyond that of most Humans.

Devotion occasionally sends missionaries, known as Guilders, to both alien worlds and other Human settlements. The sect believes that Humans were created first among all other sentient beings and therefore have a responsibility to teach wisdom to other races. Due to their 'unique' philosophy, Humans from Devotion are often unpopular with aliens. (FASA reference book The Triangle)
