The Cult is a mysterious faction that has recently entered the stage and threatens to upturn the fragile balance of forces on Earth. The Cult’s exact origins and agenda are unknown but their hostile reactions in all kinds of encounters show they are not here to seek cooperation or trade. It is feared that they may pose a threat far greater than is obvious.

The Cult’s forces consist of several very different species, genetically modified and cybernetically enhanced for their role as slaves and soldiers for a single dominating species: the Jaar Lash.
