Community of Elijah

The Community of Elijah is a religious–sovereign association consisting of the Community of Elijah on Indigo, and, until 1726 the human–Theogiorickan Community of Elijah in Theogiorick (destroyed in 1726).

It has its origin from the arrival of the Kaiser Ayreon to Zeta Yll Exuun in the mid-late 1600s. The Kaiser Ayreon had travelled for much longer time than expected to reach its destination, with a journey taking some 80 Norton years, around 1670. As such, the original crew had died, while the next two or three generations took on charge of the ship. When arriving at Zeta Yll Exuun, the crew and their mission had become religious in nature, focusing on Elijah Ayreon as a messianic figure. In the following decades, hundreds of thousand members of the local species of Zeta Yll Exuun had joined, becoming a radical and somewhat extermist association disrupting the homogeneity and harmony of the local culture. Facing the prospect of genocide, the Community decided to leave the planet to "return" to "Elijah's Star" (Atos) and establish themselves there. They thus set off with an armada of 53 ships, including the Kaiser Ayreon (though updated). With the updated warp technology, the journey to Atos was much shorter, only a few months. While arriving at Micras, 40% of the ships and their passengers perished in an attack by Raspur Pact forces. Facing the prospect of genocide and annihilation once again, the remaining Elianists agreed to the Armistice of Theogiorick, which would allow them to live, despite under several conditions, in separate communities in Theogiorick and on Indigo.

Re-establishment of Intra-Community Communications

In early 1724, the Indigoan and Micran Communities of Elijah re-established network communications with one another through Eli, the digital AI prophet. With this re-establishment of communications, the two communities could interact in near real-time through various communications of videos, voice memos, films, books, plans, blue-prints, etc – an intracommunity internet of sorts. This made the separation between the two communications more bearable, and feasts were celebrated in both places.
