Defenders of Gore

Defenders of Gore
Ever since the discovery of the planet sized organism known as Gore II, there are individuals and groups that see more in that lifeless organism than it really is. There are those who see a God in it it, a divine being or the connection to a divine being. Others claim it to be a demon with evil intents and seek its destruction ( See Gore Busters)

Steven Dunham a perpetual student of literature and philosophy at the University of Pluribus was also an idealistic but unsuccessful Play Write and author who decided one day to make up a religion and chose Gore II as the central deity. He wrote a lengthy document, he later claimed was the translation of a truly ancient prophecy made available to him during an Astral body journey to the heart of the Universe. Surprisingly this “Prophecy of the Elders of the Universe” became a hit right after he published it on GalNet. A few fellow students and readers took the “Prophecy” as a real mythical document, banded together and founded the Defenders of Gore Society, dedicated to remove everything not native to Gore, if necessary by force.

The Defenders of Gore were by far not the first Organization or group with similar goals and obsessed with Gore II. ( There are nineteen known groups, of which seventeen are considered criminal and illegal and two are registered religions.)

The Defenders of Gore more than any of the other groups appealed in their core values to the more radical element of the Gal Drift movement and it was from that source the Gal Drift recruited most of their fanatical, criminal element. The Defenders of Gore led by Steven Dunham were contacted by “Friends” (Agents of the Shiss and Kermac Governments) and received resources like funding, transportation and weapons.

The Gore Defenders (and other such groups like the Free Gore Movement) were responsible for a number of violent terrorist attacks at first on Gore itself and after Corporate Security made it almost impossible, they carried their brand of terror to planets, moons and installations around the local neighborhood and as far as Twilight Moon.

After the death of Steven Dunham and a foiled Terror Attack on Pluribus itself, Union law enforcement authorities consider the Gore Defender group to be disbanded, but the “Prophecy” is still out there and some rumors exist that the group is reforming under a new leader.
