== Zeckir Commune == 
Decades before "The Mind" spoke, dozens of far away human-habitated planets focused on biological transhumanism and the power of human mind. Said planets were mostly isolanist, and didnt know about each other, but then The Mind United them. The Call is as secret amongst the galaxy, even for the Zekist (writers hadnt come up with what the mind is, there are some hints but they seems to contradict each other). It was a call to every planet, to every intelligent being. The Call was unclear, but everyone got the message: "join the Mind to Ascend". Most empires rejected the offer, some said it was heresy. But said Transhumanist societies embraced The Mind. Soon after The Call, Psychics appeared in humanity. Some planets only had a handful, but the ones in empires that accepted The Mind they had their populace ascend. Years passed, the Mind connected societies, human-gene-modding became mandatory, new social classes were formed, new species were forged in biolabs, a tradition was set on the stones of distant worlds. The Zeckir Commune then revealed itself to the galaxy. Zeckir systems work on limited democracies with technocratic organizations having permanent seats and vote. Humans are divided in a class system, but it is know of people being born on the lowest managing to rise to the top, as much as incompetent elites that found themselves cleaning bathrooms. The Council of the Perfected rules it all, housed within a tiny sphere emanating strong psychic energy.
Some empires say that Zekist are technophobic. But the truth is that the Zeckir Commune inhabitants find AI robots and mechanical transhumanism a technology path destined to become inefficient, limited and useless in the near future. Life as a Zekist is a life spent in Sacrifice for prosperity, as Psychics torture themselves to awake new capabilities, soldiers are consumed on bio-upgrading-chemicals and linked to living spaceships. A Zekist will do anything to connect all sapient species to serve The Mind.
