Brotherhood of Crahn
"Defending the truth against all heathens until Crahn the Savior returns!” The Brotherhood of Crahn is the biggest and most influential religious organization in Neocron. The Brotherhood of Crahn has also been known to be called Crahn Sect.
Description
The sect of the PSI-Monks produces PSI-utensils which are distributed via the Yakarma and Brother in Arms stores in Neocron. The monks reside in an ancient abbey (and in the extensive subterranean complex of laboratories beneath it, or so rumors say) in the outer district of the Outzone. They also own a smaller estate in Pepper Park. Some say they strive for domination over Neocron. The sect is also rumored to have built up a powerful private information service and to be prepared to sell information for money to just about anyone who can offer enough.
Headquarters
The Brotherhood of Crahn headquarters is located in Pepper Park SEC-3. Not to be confused with Outzone Crahn church.

Key personalities
Neopha Kansil
Archbishop and spiritual leader. He is obsessed with the idea of creating a superior human race. It's rumored that he personally supervises the work in the secret laboratories in the abbey and, in spite of setbacks, is full of hope.
History
In 2558 the overthrown and banished Crahn and his bodyguards founded the Order of Crahn. They lay the foundation stone for a secret headquarters under the ruins of a deserted abbey, in which they mainly researched PSI-enforced implants and explored new PSI-applications. After the PSI-monks seized power in Neocron in 2611, many members of the Order returned to the city. The intensive research activities in the abbey were continued by a minimal crew. In 2693 rumors circulated of generically genetically engineered specimens that had escaped the laboratories. Thress years later strangely misshaped spider-people haunted the wastelands. In 2715 Neopha developed into a brilliant and energetic strategist. That year, he was appointed archbishop and consequently leader of Neocron. Nine years later the government of the PSI-monks was overthrown. Neopha Kansil and his followers fled back to the Crahn abbey. In 2728 the dictator Lioon Reza relaxed the banishment of the PSI-monks. A small delegation of the monks returned to Neocron and set up a base of operations of the PSI-monks in Pepper Park.
Having played the games of power on both sides, as rulers as well as persecuted underdogs, in recent times they seem to have withdrawn their activities to the field of PSI research and the production of PSI devices. Apart from their ever-present religious activities of course.
Three former brothers got expelled from the Brotherhood.
