Penance

Penance –  first settlement on Planet Bommel, 5th Planet in the Alegri System.

Penance was established in 2066 UST (5050 OTT) by The Most Reverend Culhaine and 12,000 members of the religious group "Firebrand Preaching"with the help of BoCA. Its government is a theocratic one, and 99+% male. Its leader is also the highest ranking priest. City workers are termed “Servants of God”, are mostly male and are required to be church members. Females are limited in their role in society. Citizens are allowed to emigrate, but usually not welcome to return, being viewed as lost to society.

Bommel is desert like in character with a thin methane atmosphere. This means that Penance is an arcology (a completely enclosed, self-sufficient city).
