New Consciousness

The New Consciousness is a revolutionary political movement within the Hierarchy. The ideology of the movement is a technocratic and radical egalitarian evolution of the concept of Universal Hierarchy; its supporters envision the use of heavy cybernetic augmentation, bioengineering and a universally accessible subspace network to wholly erase barriers of communication between classes, cultures and even species within the Hierarchy, allowing for true progress towards the ideal of the Unending Dream. Originating relatively recently in the period of the First Contact Wars, the movement has ideological roots and influences stretching back much further, to ancient intellectuals of the Cosmic Federation period and the shortlived Xalhi commune of the First Expansion.

Several organisations affiliated with the New Consciousness movement were involved in the Mirinh insurrection and the subsequent Lunar rebellion, including in the destruction of Colony 7. They have subsequently been branded as terrorist groups by the Integratoriate.
