Plot summary

Generations ago, religious people built a colony spaceship called Jehovah. A planet called Samaria was established. The colony ship, orbiting above, was able to provide supplies and services. These were accessed by genetically modified 'angels', who were the only ones capable of performing the right vocal tones.

Over the generations, the concept of the ship was forgotten and it was believed Jehovah was an actual deity. Now factions of 'angels' fight against rebel forces called 'Jacobites'. The angels want to keep their power and the Jacobites wish to know the truth.

gollark: Mine too.
gollark: My theory on use of walls: I think if you're attacked you automatically fight back, yes? Presumably the walls just distract the automatic fighting mode.
gollark: Pfft, *defenses*.
gollark: Yet another problem with the event: it's cheaper to destroy and rebuild the snow cannons than it is to repair them.
gollark: Waiting for materials for more expensive weapons, not that they'll probably do much.
