What is Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is a program of secular, non-denominational, scientifically driven social, industrial, and political advancement. It is allied with both technological transhumanism and elements of post-Isolation philosophy and spirituality. It is not a state-sponsored religion, a cult, or even an ideological/economic complex in the way that Communism was. Economically, it practices sophisticated neocapitalism rather than socialism, though it guarantees certain services to all citizens, including education. The Ubuntu Council of Elders presents itself as mankind's first long-term steering committee, capable of setting imperatives for decades, centuries, or millennia to come.

How did such a government gain power? Why are we at war with it? Why is it an illegitimate organization? What is the relationship between the Party and the Federation? What is the Council of Elders? Who are the Fedayeen? What is the UEF's military history? What are the psychological strengths of Federation citizens? What are the weaknesses? What is our strategy against the UEF? What are the potential consequences of a failure to secure Sol? |
