The Asrai have developed a religion based upon the discovery of some obviously ancient artifacts. The artifacts are believed to have originated with the ''[[Aowa]]'', a title which literally translates as "the Most Ancient Ones"
The Asrai have developed a religion based upon the discovery of some obviously ancient artifacts. The artifacts are believed to have originated with the ''Aowa'', a title which literally translates as "the Most Ancient Ones"


These artifacts are believed to be gifts handed down from the Aowa, and are meant as puzzles that should be studied and unlocked in order to better understand the universe, science and their own lives. As a result of these beliefs, the Asrai, have developed an exceptionally complex religious caste to handle all matters related to the Aowa.

The Scholars of the Reliquary are the members of the Order of the Reliquary. Their primary religious function is to unlock the meanings found within the ancient artifacts that have been left behind by the Aowa. They are highly trained, being similar in training to Engineers, but only just so. They are the religious members who are in direct contact with the devices and artifacts that are recovered. They often disassemble them in order to better understand their function, purpose and meaning. As such, this order is the most technically adept of all the orders.

Among their many tasks, the Scholars of the Reliquary safeguard and tend to the maintenance of the Sacred Lights. They believe that the Sacred Lights are beacons left by the Aowa used to guide the survivors of some dark times to underground safe havens. They also believe that someone called [[Solyon|Solyon the Destroyer]] will plague the world again, and that it will be their task to display the beacons once again to save the survivors of the world from complete destruction.  It was later learned that Solyon was the Asrai name for the [[Rogue Planet]] that was discovered by the [[USS Rosenante]] prior to their discovery of [[Asrai Prime]].

This order has the least connection to the actual Aowa. Their purpose is completely one of enforcement. They act as investigators, judges and police forces wherever they go. The majority of the members are highly indoctrinated in religious dogma. Among their tasks is the discernment and punishment of heretics, or breakers of the holy laws. They are brutish and are known for their unflinching duty to the orders. As such, they are highly effective and feared.

The Voice of the High Oracle is the second most senior member of the Religious castes. His function is to interpret and communicate the orders of the High Oracle of the Golden Temple. He acts as the intermediary between the other members of the orders and the High Oracle. Only he sees and speaks with the High Oracle. It was he that determined that Layeela should be cast out as a heretic.
