Editing Setting:Cloudburst/Maxient (section)

===The Ecclesiarchy and Sisterhood===

This place is far from the Emperor’s light, both materially and spiritually.  If the Imperial Navy had not made an ally of the Ecclesiarchy in their endless attempts to one-up the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Ministorum would likely have made a point of it in the halls of the Sector Capitol.  However, as it stands, the massive, school-like temple structure in the heart of the station is adequate, for now, to meet the local needs of the people.
Of all the places in the Cloudburst Sector under the guidance of the Ministorum, Port Maxient is likely the one least adherent to the patterns of excess that define the rest of the Sector clergy.  Part of this is concession to the unique circumstances of the station, but part of it is the result of Bishop Cordovin.  The Bishop is a lean and mean fellow, much given to cold and bitter oratory.  He is so deeply opposed to the doctrines of Lamarr and Drake that there is a real possibility that he is the real reason that the Sector has only two Cardinals.  If the Spindle and Septiim systems were to gain their own Cardinals, the Synod would have to promote Cordovin to fill the gaps left by his superiors, and nobody else in the Sector can tolerate the man.

There are a few Sororitas aboard, but they are of the Dialogous, Famulous, and Hospitaller Ordos, not the combat-oriented divisions.  Their role is as advisors and consultants to the people aboard who must make first contact or follow-up communication with the human and alien populations that are found in the Oldlight Exo-zone.  They also serve as overseers of the Refuge, where the poor of the station live out their last days.
