It began soon after Nannstein announced hyperdrive to be a success, and got a major boost the first time an other-universe ship appeared in Imperial space. (Dropped there by a hyperdrive malfunction, the only publicly-known reason for interuniverse transition.) It is a highly syncretic religion which teaches that there is one Creator of all the universes that form the Omniverse. This Creator is unknowable by finite intelligence, but some of A's attributes can be deduced from what humans can understand of A's creations. The main parts are that all religions are true in part, with the gods being those aspects of the Creator (some in body) sent to reveal what a given society needs and can understand about the Creator. (Everything in all the universes is part of the Creator, of course, that being what A created with.) Sin is either failure to use, or the harmful use of, the Creator's gifts. Deliberately causing unnecessary harm/pain is the greatest sin. OMNIVERSE: The totality of existence, in which anything that can happen either has or eventually will.

It is the only place where miracle-weed, the source of rapid-heal, will grow productively. Cloudcats were moved here circa 8000 BCE because their sun was about to go nova. The cloudcats were established in the mountains, where psionically act
