Heretics of Cydonia

The Heretics of Cydonia was a religious cult on Mars, which worshiped the Face of Cydonia (the famous "face on Mars"). Eager to be rid of them before their popularity threatened their power, the religious leaders of the White City sent them to a "paradise planet", our Earth. But the White City knew what really lay in store for them, and the cult was seemingly killed by the old rex.

Jarissy discovers the ruins of the Cydonian ship, a secret she shares with Ress, who decides she will "discover" the ship on her Teneve. It is because Jarissy is eager to tell the others that Ress poisons her, eventually leading to Jarissy's death. Ress does reveal the existence of the ship on her Teneve, though apparently does not know the ship belonged to the Cydonians. Petara, Nerrine, Lask, and Kellin know, and are eager to keep this a secret from the others, lest it should demoralize them.

The Cydonian ship was destroyed shortly after an indecisive duel between Danalee and Nisja of Titan.
