==[[Sons of Hephaestus]]== [[File:Sons_of_Hephaestus_governors.png|thumb|440x440px|The person at the front is Neil Jansson.]] When the suffocating clouds that had defined [[Venus]] for eons first began to drain from its surface, it was as if a cry went out across the solar system. On [[Earth]] , in response to the boom of the terraforming industry and the Gaian religious fervor surrounding it, a counter-movement began to form. Soon after, encrypted broadcasts began emanating from mining colonies across the system, calling to all spacefaring patriots whose way of life was being threatened by the irresponsible transformation of worlds they'd begun to call home.<br /><br />This anti-terraforming crusade was founded by [[Te Hau Arataki]] , a seasoned explorer and philosopher whose writings argued that each planet and moon had a unique character that was inalienable and precious, and that humanity had no right to transform a world to suit their own needs. But what Te Hau viewed as a moral framework, her followers have taken as a call to arms. As thousands of homesteaders and workers coalesced into a ragtag alliance, the Planetary Purity movement moved from debate into action. If Te Hau was the mind and heart, [[Rex Jansson]] has become the clenched fist of their movement, leading attacks on terraforming facilities (and Gaian settlements) throughout the solar system. While Rex's daughter [[Pim Jansson|Pim]] battles alongside her father, his son [[Neil Jansson|Neil]] seeks a subtler path to victory, one that might avoid plunging the entire solar system into war.<br /><br />The news eventually dubbed this movement the Sons of Hephaestus, in mocking opposition to their main rivals, and as a pejorative reference to their macho, working class reputation. At first shunning the labels of others, the Hephaestians have begun to embrace the moniker, as a testament to the "brotherhood" of survivalists, craftsmen, warriors and philosophers their movement has brought together. While they remain divided on the use of extreme measures, all members view themselves as crusaders in an underdog struggle, and know that they must act quickly. For to concede ground to the terraformers would be to see that ground tarnished, transformed, and ultimately destroyed. As guardians of the stars, the Sons of Hephaestus vow to preserve every planet's independence, no matter the cost.
