Singularity

Singularity is a sub-faction of the Fratrum Procella, led by Aldous Kleist. Its goal was to grant psionic powers to all humanity. In 501 R.T. Singularity launched a secret plan unprecedented in its scope and success level from an extradimensional base located in the subspace anomaly known as Manhattan Colony, where Singularity illegally pursued advanced research projects with no moral or legal constraints. Through the use of hypnotized sleeper agents who were unaware of their own actions, Singularity orchestrated the abduction of President Dave and his replacement with a cloned doppelganger who used the power of presidential veto to repeal several of Carterl's Laws of Biogenics.

However, even as this plan was successful, the Republic Intelligence Agency was closing in on Kleist and Singularity. In July of 501 R.T. Kleist's diplomatic opportunity was revoked, and he was killed in a botched arrest attempt while visiting Caerleon meeting grounds. Kleist retreated to Singularity's Manhattan Colony base, having successfully (through his sleeper operatives) brokered a deal between St. Petersburg's Novembrist insurrection and the Vory v Zakone's Bogatyr special forces that ultimately won the St. Petersburg Civil War for the Novembrists.

However, by October 26th 501 R.T. Singularity was out of time. The Republic Armada launched a major raid on Manhattan Colony, during which Kleist was killed (again, this time permanently), Singularity destroyed and its members scattered, and their proprietary technology impounded by the Republic.
