The Outsiders

The Outsiders, also known as the Sun's Eye Fellowship, are a religious cult established by [Dr. Marcus Fayel](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Rw1k2w51XZ-marcus-fayel) that has occupied [Mya (Leir II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxnqNaGr8Q-mya-leir-ii) since the early 2800s. While Fayel oversaw the [terraforming](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3qgj8vjnj-terraforming) of Mya, he cultivated a group of followers and organized an eventual armed takeover of the planet; a feat he achieved in 2812. The Outsiders believe that in order to maintain purity, they must reject all trappings of the modern world, especially the overwhelming consumer culture of the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). They say that in order to attain a pure state, one must embrace self-reflection without the smothering distraction of potential societal judgment. The sun is the ultimate example of purity, and is a key part of the meditation necessary on the journey to purity.
