Originally, the inquisition was established as diplomatic contacts and investigators within the scattered human colonies of Sirius.

The Human Inquisition are religious fanatics and other misfits roaming the galaxy with the goal of purifying all souls, even if they don’t know how.


It is unclear when exactly the Human Inquisition started, though some believe that it formed as soon as humanity reached the Sirius sector. The only thing that’s clear is that once confronted with a myriad of alien species, some turned to religious sects to calm their fears.

They were pursued by the Founder’s forces until they were lost and scattered by the sudden appearance of a wormhole which brought them to Sirius.


These sects then send out inquisitors with a retinue of ragtag warriors and assassins, who each bring their own specialty to battle. They usually join HDF armies in their campaigns, who gladly accept their help, even if they might not believe in their cause.

The Human Inquisition is a secret organization of investigators, psychics, assassins, fanatics, and other misfits dedicated to protecting humanity in Sirius. The Human Inquisition tends to fight alongside other forces, deploying highly trained specialists to achieve their mysterious goals.

Originally, the inquisition was established as diplomatic contacts and investigators within the scattered human colonies of Sirius. They came to rely on secrecy, vigilantism, and other underhanded methods, in order to gather information and neutralize threats. Their dubious reputation has made them pariahs to some, but the Inquisition continues to carry out their work of protecting humanity.

Background Story

The rise of a messianic figure known to history as the Founder resulted in a devastating war that soon engulfed Earth and its colonies. As the war grew more devastating, many survivors began to seek a means to escape. A desperate group of refugees commandeered the Founder’s own flagship in order to escape the conflict, leading a fleet of like-minded survivors. They were pursued by the Founder’s forces until they were lost and scattered by the sudden appearance of a wormhole which brought them to Sirius.

The Blessed Sisters formed shortly after humanity arrived in Sirius, hoping to aid the human colonies and resist the followers of the Conduit. However, the Sisters themselves spent most of their time training and living in monastic isolation. To remedy this, they began to send out investigators and envoys to gather intelligence, and learn how the Sisters could best aid their allies. These individuals came to be known as the Inquisition, working to uncover threats and call on the help of the Sisters when needed.

The Inquisition began to hire their own agents, operating in secret, using bribery, and building hidden alliances to carry out their objectives.
