Abyss Cult gains traction in Citadel Space

Over the past several months, a disturbing rash of conversions to the Va'liat cult has plagued Thessia, Earth, Palaven and even the Citadel itself. The trend comes amid a resurgence of belief in spirituality across Citadel Space, which some experts are claiming are due to the actions of blatantly predatory preachers across Citadel Space. The Va'liat cult in particular is concerning because it doesn't bother with even the overtures of peacefulness that most Citadel Space Religions abide by.

Experts claim that the Va'liat is especially dangerous because of its origins as an abyss-based cult of warfare, one that shamelessly uses conquest to expand its territory. These are claims that the Va'liat hasn't even bothered to refute, instead defending its egregious use of force to take territory in a series of public announcements.

Several organizations, like Skeptics Galactic, have been taking action and attempting to stem the tide of conversions by denouncing Va'liat and other cults, especially earth based ones like Christianity and Islam, but unfortunately these efforts have, so far, been in vain. Harinex Garat, a representative with Skeptics Galactic, said, "It's unfortunate, but in the post-reaper galaxy the average citizen is incredibly irrational. While we're doing all we can, we can't combat this predatory preaching without real legal action from the council do stem the tide, something they're utterly unwilling to do despite its blatant necessity."
