Category:The Order of the Shaman Stick

Summary
The Order of the Shaman Stick (or simply, The Order) is a "religious" society dedicated to researching how to shape humanity to rival gods. The Order possesses technology decades or even centuries ahead of the rest of the world. They first started by creating genetically enhanced humans in the 1950's, Dr. Tachibana being one of them. The Order soon decided to move off-planet to avoid suspicion and being caught by others such as the FBI, MI6 or the Illuminati. They currently have a station, The Arbiter, in a polar orbit around the sun, at a distance of 0.925 AU. The Order is based there, sending ships to orbit Earth to recruit new members in the form of preaching. They conduct many experiments there, involving long lifespan, space travel, superhuman projects, and mind uploading. There are also many "Orbital Monasteries", or small space stations in orbit around Earth disguised as satellites; they conduct surveillance of the surface and send agents down to recruit.
