The church on [[Pavabid (world)|Pavabid]] subscribes to what is known as the Pavabidian Heresy, claiming that a star-god sometimes sends part of its consciousness to inhabit the body of a man, who is called the "Son of the Star" and who is therefore divine and infallible. The first Son of the Star was Pavabid, who conquered his world in a religious war and renamed it for himself. A further tenet of the Pavabidian church is that the stars are not brothers, but enemies; people from other stars are enemies of God, and contact with offworlders is therefore forbidden to all except a faithful few. | The church on [[Pavabid (world)|Pavabid]] subscribes to what is known as the Pavabidian Heresy, claiming that a star-god sometimes sends part of its consciousness to inhabit the body of a man, who is called the "Son of the Star" and who is therefore divine and infallible.

The basic belief of the Church of the Stellar Divinity is that all stars are gods, conscious beings of transcendental power. If a man worships his sun, lives a good life, and follows the teachings of the church, his soul will acquire spiritual mass, and upon his death will be drawn into his sun, where it will join with the deity. The church is popular in the Imperium, where it makes few demands on a worshiper's life and doesn't compete with the government.
