The Cult of the Dreamer (Honen: Kuku Sonyan) is a human absolute theocracy governed according to the strict hierarchical principles of the religion of the same name. Located on the planet of Kapohin in the Draco-90 System, which is one of the oldest archeological sites in the known galaxy, with ruins dating back thousands of years. The Cult of the Dreamer is widely considered by scholars to be a mystery cult that worships a being known only as the Dreamer which supposedly is imprisoned within the six rocky planets of the Draco-90 star system. The exact origins of the Cult of the Dreamer are unknown, but research of census records means most academics have accepted a hypothesis that the cult's origins lie with members of the Draconis Mining Corporation that settled in the star system and brought their families there after the Draconis Mining Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection in 2855.
