Sanctuary of Starlight

The Sanctuary of Starlight (SoS), born from Shard 11's Medicore after the Collapse, is a multiversal medical aid group adhering to strict pacifism and neutrality. Partnering with the Travel Agency for multi-dimensional access, this independent organization is well-funded by donations and the development of highly advanced medical technology.

History

• Origin: Shard 11
• Before their dimensional discovery, Shard 11's Medicore was a shining beacon of peace in a war-torn world. As Collaborators brought further chaos and the young Agency arrived attempting containment, Medicore finally found an ally. But it wasn't until the Collapse that Medicore began reaching across the shards, evolving into the Sanctuary of Starlight (SoS) known throughout the multiverse today.

Structure and Hierarchy:

• Council of Elders: A group of experienced doctors and medical staff who make decisions about the organization's direction and resource allocation.
• Traveling Medics: Teams of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals who travel to different universes to provide aid.
• Support Staff: Individuals who manage logistics, communication, and resource gathering from a central hub.
• Recruitment and Training: A system for finding and training new members, emphasizing both medical skills and pacifist principles.

Resources and Logistics:

• Dimensional Travel: The organization relies on a close relationship with the Travel Agency to cross shards. While they are a stand-alone organization, they often share logistics and operations space with the Agency.
• Chronicle: Many members of SoS are also qualified Agents
• Cinderfox: Like the Agency, SoS has found the discovery of Shard 99 to be a boon to their operation and many Valtra have joined their ranks.
• Medical Supplies: SoS relies heavily on donations for medical supplies, though they have been recently building their own research and production labs.
• Funding: Secure funding through donations, grants, or partnerships with other organizations.

Ethical Considerations:

• Non-Interference: Establish strict guidelines about not interfering in the internal affairs of the universes they visit. Focus solely on providing medical aid.
• Neutrality: Maintain neutrality in conflicts, treating all patients regardless of their background or affiliation.
• Pacifism: Uphold a strict code of pacifism, refusing to engage in violence even in self-defense. Explore non-violent conflict resolution methods.

Additional Notes:

• Specialized Teams: SoS members often specialize in different areas of medicine (trauma care, disease control, mental health, etc.). Teams are fluid and can include several specialists, depending on the situation's needs.
• Technological Innovations: As a recent venture, SoS is developing advanced medical technologies that can be used across dimensions.
• Cultural Sensitivity Training: Members are trained to be respectful of different cultures and customs in the universes they visit.
