Tempered Accord

The Congregation of Refined Conviction is a post-Covenant polity located in the Siakar Expanse. Composed of several dozen worlds, it was a signatory to the Singular Bond pact, making them a fringe component of the Outer Vigil and thus an ally by proxy to the UEG. They also established several trade agreements with a number of nearby polities, including the Chikri-Merkaa Conflux and Golden Compact.

This league is notable for endorsing a local sect of the Covenant religion, which has seen several major changes to take into account the revelations of the Halos. This focuses on spiritual improvement and eventual transcendence through technology and science, without the constricting dogma and institutional limitations of the Covenant. These ideological reforms, as well as the consolidation of their power within their immediate region of space, kept them preoccupied after the Human-Covenant War.
