Carboneism
A philosophical ethos or religion among Dolphins. It is prevalent in the Solomani Confederation and in areas previously controlled by the Solomani. It was founded on the premise that the Solomani genetic scientist, Dr Craig Carbone, was divinely inspired to uplift Dolphins, and that Dr Victor Haerinck was his disciple, chosen to continue the work. These literal creators of their race are held in great reverence, while Solomani in general are venerated as guides, mentors and guardians.
Some followers of Carbonism are zealous in their beliefs and militant in their outlook -- highly unusual for Dolphins.
Dolphin Carboneists are often recruited by the Solomani military as ocean combat specialists. SolSec also drafts them to be planted into Dolphin clans outside of the Confederation to gather sympathisers to the Solomani Cause and sow unrest among Dolphins loyal to the Third Imperium.
