Liberal 8

The Liberal 8 began as an extremist organization on Minguet in 3180. Its stated goal is for humanity to recognize the divine right of psychics to rule humanity with their gifts. Through a series of terrorist acts, public uprisings, and human-made disasters, within 2 years it assassinated the lineage and overthrew House Inutilit. This organization is the planetary government for Minguet.

The Pimental Academy and Cobalt Alliance did not take development lightly. While House overthrows are nothing new, the fact that this organization was led by a splinter group of trained psychics led to a joint response to isolate and sanction the world in the hopes of inducing another uprising to overthrow the Liberal 8.

They are still waiting.

The last 15 years have been a cold war. The Alliance is constantly looking for ways to tip the balance and remove the Liberal 8 from power. The Liberal 8 are constantly looking ways to expand and grow beyond Minguet.

Founders
Cobalt records have identified 7 founders of the organization, nearly all were trained psychics from Minguet that mastered different disciplines up to at least the seventh class. Their surnames are recorded, but the founders no longer use them. These individuals all hail from Amiens, a cavern city below the ruined dome. Pimental used to allow students to study together, and these were inseparable at the Academy. The Alliance has been unable to consistently track their whereabouts. There is a seventh female founder, Morgan, who is not known to have any psychic powers recorded.
 * Saul, male, 38, master of precognition.
 * Benj, male, 37, master of biopsionics.
 * Simonne, female, 39, master of telekinesis. Observed to have torched and gone feral.  Apparently allied with the mother Shibboleth as warden of the Founder families.
 * Isaac, male 36, master of teleportation.
 * Gaetan, male, 35, master of telepathy. Twin sibling of Victoria.
 * Victoria, female, 35, master of metapsionics. Twin sibling of Gaetan.
