Mar-Atyya

The mar-Atyya was a religious sect on the planet Mestiko. One of the group's primary beliefs was that their god would cause an apocalyptic event, which would "cleanse" the planet while sparing them. This prophecy was seen to have been fulfilled by "the Pulse" in 2265, and because of their advance preparations, the mar-Atyya were able to quickly organize and gather fellow survivors in the wake of the disaster.
