Ever since the Divine Fleet has been reduced in numbers, people have fled and have started other colonies on other planets. Small frontier places for the most part.
Mercy Officers[]
There was a Divine called Mercy that perished which held an order that was and is, devoted to not just justice but also mercy. They are devoted to bringing people into society after you've done something wrong. Devoted to giving people the resources to improve yourself and monitor yourself; in a way that reflects people's humanity and recognizes it while still making sure you can do the best you can. They ensure that people are treated well in prison should they fail as well.
These people are referred to as Mercy Officers, such as Helena Vex, Tender Sky's officer.
