Location: Trafalgar, New London ID: Church.of.Betelgeuse Signed: Father Ebenezer Abraham
Greetings gentlemen of the Congress,
I am father Ebenezer Abraham, leader of the Church of Betelgeuse. In the current fluctuating times I strongly believe it is important for all the Junker brethren to unite in order to preserve their freedom. That is why I wish to join the congress.
My sponsor is captain Beast of the salvager Instinct. He has introduced me to the importance of the congress and is willing to support my application.
The Church of Betelgeuse is a small community that lives aboard the salvager of the same name. To avoid controversy and confrontation with nonbelievers we keep to ourselves. With this sense of privacy we find that the Junkers provide the best community to be part of, but our roots lie much stronger in salvaging than our appearance might at first suggest.
The religion we follow is based on an ancient harddisk from the Sol-era that my mentor's mentor salvaged during his journey through Sirius. On it are various writings and prophecies. To this day we are still decrypting its files, and are enlighted more and more.
We believe that if the Junkers ever lose their independence and discrete ways our religion will be lost to.
The greatest threat we see right now is the Gallic arm of the Junkers, who believe they are our true authority, yet answer to the Gallic authorities themselves.
Our people are hard working and will provide a fine addition to any salvaging fleet. Perhaps in time we might even be able to share the wisdom we gained from our Disk.
Signing off,
father Ebenezer Abraham
and the Council of Clergy
