The Brotherhood of Thet
The Brotherhood of Thet
The Brotherhood of Thet are an enigmatic group of religous fanatics living in an encampment close to the underground reservoir of water located on the planet Theta 122. A small and dangerous group, they were founded by Father Edward Morgan in 2397.
The Brotherhood is made up of members from species all across the Federation, from Humans and Andorians to Trills and Ktarians. Each member was once associated with Starfleet or some other organization, such as Atlas Base, and left that 'former life' to join the Brotherhood. At first glance, the Brotherhood appears to be a peaceful commune of sorts with each member playing a specific role in the upkeep of the camp and in their daily life. Secretly though, they are a dangerous zealous sect who actually committed murder to protect the water source from Ferengi drillsmen. They killed the Ferengi away team sent from the FMS Kasseka and destroyed their shuttle to make it look like an accident.
Their primary goal seems to be to protect the reservoir and 'Sacred Caves' of the planet against intruders, and thus protecting the Gods they believe reside in the water. The Brotherhood is extremely territorial but will allow visitors to the camp if they believe they will respect their land and their beliefs.
The Gods of Thet
Morgan believes there are 'Gods' living in the water source on the planet, and that they spoke to him and gave him visions of his mission. He in turn indoctrinated each member, showing them the water and the 'Gods' made them believers. It has not been established yet what these Gods are...
