Pyre Group

The Pyre Group is a shadowy illuminati-esque group of the wealthiest Terran families dating back to before the Exodus to New Terra. They actually used to control the government of New Terra. While they are no longer as powerful they have a hand in many parts of the TCF Government. Many powerful politicians view them as a necessary evil in order to perform functions that would otherwise be hindered or blocked by the TCF Bureaucracy.
