	The Machine Cult trace their origins to old Earth. Their cult has long believed that the advancement of technology is inevitable and eventually humanity itself will be surpassed by the machine in an event called the Singularity, which would have absolute power to determine the fate of humanity. The Cult believes that only by embracing the machine can humanity remain relevant, and their cult rejected the Founder and his plan for humanity, believing that his genetic enhancements were mere distractions from the inevitable machine Singularity. The Founder in turn banned their cult, and as a result, many Machine Cultists eagerly joined the refugee fleet.		The Machine Cult trace their origins to old Earth.

	As augmentation became more easily obtained, many of its adherents began to augment themselves beyond anything that they were capable of on Earth, seeking to embrace the machine in new ways. As they did so, the adherents of the cult began to grow apart from other colonists. Others began to see the Cult and their followers as strange and inhuman. Some even began to leave the cult, embittered by augmentation failures or haunted by a feeling that they had lost some part of humanity.

The Alliance were not interested in resettling or occupying the worlds the Cult had claimed and saw little to gain from war, and as such, the Machine Cults gained their final independence diplomatically, rather than through war.

The '''Machine Cult''' are a faction from the Grimdark Future universe.

== Background Story ==
The Machine Cult is a strange faction of misguided humans that treat machines as holy. Their warriors enhance their abilities by amputating their bodies and implanting machine parts into themselves. Oftentimes these machine hybrids can barely be recognized as humans because of this.

When going to war they bring an arsenal of strange weapons and ammunition such as phosphor rounds and taser batons, making for a highly specialized army that can deal with all sorts of threats. Additionally their hybrid bodies offer them greater mobility, giving them an edge in rough terrain.

The Machine Cult started innocuously with curious scientists discovering mysterious frequencies that are emitted by all machines. As they continued their research they became convinced that the machines had a spirit of their own, and so started adoring them as god-like creatures.

Now they roam the galaxy on a quest to free the inner spirits of all machines that are being “enslaved” by other races.
