“The miracles of the First Empire dumbfound historian and politician both; we look at an era when a Jorian could heal the near-dead, build whole functioning ecospheres and terraform planets in weeks, and we shake our head in disbelief. It creates a climate of fear and reactionism within the Second Empire. We do not trust miracles, for of miracles came devils.”
—Thusen Tratus, primary historian of the Order of Saint Thuzera, executed by the Second Empire for high treason in 2IY 946
