Perceptionists

By far the most polarizing group within the Android Abolitionist Front is the radical Perceptionist minority. While most people in the Pact Worlds hold the view that souls mark the difference between people and possessions (as both androids and sentient machines like anacites gain souls at the moment of awakening) Perceptionists argue that if you can’t personally tell whether an advanced machine is sentient or simply carrying out programming, you must accord it the same rights as a sentient being. Though small, this splinter group is insistent on 'liberating' legally owned robots and ship(link) AIs, often violently, doing significant damage to the AAF's reputation in recent years.
