Hildis
Hildis is a warm and barren rock that's surface is poisonous to any known life.
Hidden under this inhospitable shell is a planet spanning series of cave systems that sustain a robust, if very odd, ecosystem. It is also home to a single large human settlement, ruled over by the Order of Servants.
Social Structure
Hildis' society is a very rigid caste system, with the semi-nomadic "wilders" at the bottom and the clergy at the top.
Wilders live in the cave systems outside the city as hunters or subsistence farmers. Often trading with city-born for tools and manufactured goods. They are largely disallowed access to the city
City-born obviously live and work in the city itself. They have a general distrust of Mandate era technology and tend to live similarly to 21st century people.
The Order of Servants occupy the governing caste and live in relative luxury. They maintain facilities that can produce many TL4 goods, although they do adhere to their anti artificial inelegance beliefs.
Beliefs
The Order of Servants and by extension all of Hildis believe that artificial intelligence, VI or True AI, are an offense to god and that they led directly to the Scream.
This dislike also extends into other forms of technology to a lesser extent for most people on Hildis. While the ruling class maintains access to TL4 technology, most citizens live a life closer to that of 21st century humans.
There is a belief that psychics are touched by God and imbued with his power. Most psychics born on Hildis regardless of caste are inducted into the ranks of the Order of Servants.
