The Omphal is a multiconfessional organisation, dedicated to the study, preservation, and propagation of human faiths.

The ideology of the Omphal is one of absolute inclusivity. According to the Omphal, there is no absolute religious truth. All religions and beliefs are correct, all at once, even in their contradictions. Divine revelation is a continuous and progressive process, with the teachings of every single religion in the world just being an aspect of this truth. Crucially, the Omphal also believes that divine truth is incomplete and as such, there is no way to determine which religion is more correct than the others. This incompleteness is radical. It is fundamentally impossible to access divine truth. The only elements humans can deduce are the shattered aspects of unfathomable concepts, which the various beliefs of humankind translate in their own way. The diversity of religion actually reinforces the understanding of this divine truth, as each of them casts a different light on it, thus every religion has to be nurtured, understood and protected. In fact, even atheism is integrated into this ideology, understood as the undying faith in a world without the divine. Faith is the most fundamental aspect of human experience, and the Omphal shall protect and further its dominion.

The Omphal itself is divided into orders, or Lodges, which are first and foremost styles. The organisation has a very peculiar relationship to rituals, symbols, chants, and writings. Religion is an illusion, and the Omphal will never argue against this. It simply considers that, with the absence of absolute divine truth, this illusion is what constitutes the heart of spirituality. Omphal buildings are vast cathedral-like structures that display a staggering syncretism of almost every faith in human history, filled with incense, colourful symbols and golden jewels…or sometimes simple, austere chambers reminiscent of the simplicity of ancient cults. Members of the Omphal refer to their spiritual persona using xe/xem pronouns.

Based on Cathedral Station, the Omphal currently has five main orders.

• Order of the Moon: the Omphal's diplomatic and cooperative branch. Its members wear black and white; many of them are former or active Solar Envoys.
  
• Order of the Path: this order wears red and white/gold. It is often considered as the most flamboyant order, maintaining a small fleet of ships that take design clues from Hindu temples and gothic cathedrals alike. Behind their cowls and veils, the members of the Path are skilled spacers and navigators, offering their services to pilgrims and priests alike.
  
• Order of the Pillar: wearing simple white tunics, the members of the Pillar are engineers, architects, and land planners who are dedicated to cataloguing, maintaining and in some cases building places of worship, regardless of religion or belief. The Pillar is mostly active on Earth due to the sheer density of historical buildings on the planet.
  
• Order of the Lodge: the Lodge is an order of librarians, theologists, and historians that keep and maintain records of the complex history of human religions. Their end goal is to create a universal encyclopedia of spirituality, a massive undertaking which they refer to as their “paper cathedral”. The members of the Lodge are almost as radiant as the followers of the Path, adorned in gold and white, followed by the scent of incense and the sight of candles floating in zero-g.
  
• Order of the Shattered Star: members of the Shattered Star never show their faces, hidden behind veils, ritual masks and shifting q-augs. They are the most secretive Omphal order, invested in the strange art of xenotheology, the study and occasional worship of non-human deities. In public, they wear long black robes covered in silver ornaments. During digs and expeditions, they like to use voidsuits equipped with biomechanical tendrils, anti-radiation robes, additional artificial eyes and drones shaped like human skulls. It is uncertain if the Shattered Star is putting an act for unknowable alien deities or if its members genuinely enjoy their well-defined aesthetic.
