Church of the Resplendent Selfplex
The Church of the Resplendent Selfplex may not be as spiritual as some, but it makes in fire power for what it lacks in theology. It has a small Hammer fleet of rather slow and heavy but well-armed ships, vying with the Order of the Seventh Question for Hammer supremacy.
Although Primarch Jeazamor Enjenai has a keen understanding of politics, he tends to form better alliances with the Merchant League than with other religious leaders. Some say that the Church of the Resplendent Selfplex is nothing but a commercial entreprise masquerading as a religion anyway. It is not widely popular among the population and not at all among the serfs and slaves, but it does appeal to some middle-class freemen as a feel-good, self-absorbed creed that requires little effort (but a certain amount of cash.)
An important feature of the Selfplex Church (as it is commonly referred to) is the pilgrimage to the holy Citadel of Tesseract. For a respectable sum, well-to-do pilgrims can travel to the Citadel and "cleanse" themselves by bathing in the "beneficient radiation of the cosmemetic flux" in a crystal pyramid temple inside the Citadel. Within the Selfplex Church, the Citadel is sometimes referred to as Tesseract-Alpha; the corresponding Tesseract-Omega is a space haven in geosynchronous orbit abot the Citadel, which serves as Patriarch Enjenai's Holiest of Holies.
