Editing Sons of Ether (section)

==== The Official Societies ====
* The Cybernetic Research Institute, or '''Cybernauts''', the iconic machine freaks who love robots, AI, and sundry other gadgets and gizmos. They were once a lot tighter than they are now with the [[Virtual Adepts]], but the Cybernauts' obsession with reinventing the wheel made collaborations less and less frequent.

* The Royal Ethernautical Society, or '''Ethernauts''', who specialize in Etheric travel, making Etherships and conducting xenobiological research at the far corners of the Tellurian. They have an intense love-hate relationship with the [[Void Engineers]] and like their frenemies, were fucked sideways by the Avatar Storm.

* The Utopian League, or '''Utopians''' focus on large scale social policy and infrastructure, often with a decidedly Marxist bent (a number of its members are themselves former Bolshevik scientists). They are the administrators of the Tradition's large scale initiatives and run the ethics committees. Needless to say, given that the Tradition was formed so that people would stop telling them what to do, they are regarded with mild contempt by their fellows.
